Marriage was a bed of thorns for Stella. She lived like an overworked and unhappy slave for six years in her matrimonial home.
One day, her uncaring husband, Waylon said to her, “Ayla will be back soon. You have to move out tomorrow.”
“I want a divorce,” responded Stella. She left without shedding a tear or trying to change Waylon’s stone-cold heart.
Days after their divorce, they met again. Stella was in the arms of another man.
Waylon’s blood boiled at the sight of her looking so happy.
“So, you couldn’t even wait a while before jumping into another man’s arms?” he queried distastefully.
“And who are you to question my decision? It’s my life, so I call the shots. Stay out of my business!” Stella fired at him before turning to look at her new man with shiny eyes.
Ariana was forced to marry into the Anderson family. As a result of the union, everyone expected her to have a baby with her new husband. However, it turned out that her new husband, Theodore, was actually in a coma! Was Ariana doomed to live a life no different from that of a widow?
Unexpectedly, her comatose husband regained consciousness on the day after their wedding!
Theodore opened his eyes and looked at her coldly. “Who are you?”
“I’m your … wife,” Ariana answered in a trance.
Hearing this, Theodore looked extremely upset.
“I don’t recall getting married. This marriage doesn’t count. I’ll get my lawyer to handle the divorce procedures.”
If it weren’t for the fact that his family stopped him from divorcing Ariana, the latter would’ve become an outcast the day after she got married.
Later, she conceived a child and wanted to leave in secret, but Theodore caught wind of her plans and disagreed.
Ariana looked at him stubbornly. “You don’t even like me. You pick on me all the time. What’s the point of our marriage? I want a divorce!”
All of a sudden, Theodore’s arrogance disappeared and he pulled her into a warm embrace. “You’re my wife, and you’re mine now. Don’t even think about divorcing me!”
In her previous life, Kathryn mistakenly trusted in Caylee and Edmund. As a result of her foolish naivete, her family was destroyed and she was burned alive.
Now that she was reborn, she vowed to tear down their facade and see them for who they truly were.
She would avenge the tragic ending of her previous life and cherish her perfect husband Willard, who was the only one who was there for her in her previous life.
After getting married, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “With you, my life is perfect.”
“Really? What if you want to divorce me in the future?”
“Never! In fact, let’s make a baby tonight. From now on, if you dare to look at another woman, I’ll break your legs.”
Loraine was a dutiful wife to Marco since they got married three years ago. However, he treated her like trash. Nothing she did softened his heart.
One day, Loraine got fed up with it all. She asked him for a divorce and left him to enjoy with his mistress.
The elites looked at her like she was deranged. “Are you out of your mind? Why are you so willing to divorce him?”
“It’s because I need to return home to get a billion-dollar fortune. Besides, I don’t love him anymore,” Loraine replied with a smile.
They all laughed at her. Some believed that the divorce affected her mentally.
It wasn’t until the next day that they realized she wasn’t fibbing. A woman was suddenly declared the world’s youngest female billionaire. It turned out to be Loraine!
Marco was shocked to the bone. When he met his ex-wife again, she was a changed person. A group of handsome young men surrounded her. She was smiling at them all. The sight made Marco’s heart ache severely.
Putting his pride aside, he tried to win her back. “Hello, love. I see that you are a billionaire now. You shouldn’t be with suckers who just want your money. How about you come back to me? I’m a billionaire too. Together, we can build a strong empire. What do you say?”
Loraine squinted at her ex-husband with her lips curled in disgust.
Billionaire’s Regret: Hard to Get My Ex-wife Back Chapter 1 Sad Marriage
Hey, Marco. Remember that today is our third wedding anniversary. I have prepared a surprise for you. Can you come back early today?
After sending the message, Loraine Bryant stared at her phone screen with great expectation.
She didn’t want to drop it so she wouldn’t miss Marco’s reply.
However, she didn’t get any response as usual.
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Loraine’s heart leaped with joy and her eyes lit up.
Is it Marco?
Loraine rushed to answer the door.
To her disappointment, she saw Marco’s bodyguards standing on the other side of the door.
Mrs. Bryant, you have to come with us to the hospital now, ordered one of the bodyguards.
Loraine took a step back in shock and fear. But the bodyguards still dragged her into the car.
On the way, she bombarded them with questions. However, they remained silent.
The car soon pulled up at the hospital.
The bodyguards dragged her all the way from the parking lot into the hospital. They pressed her against the wall outside a VIP ward.
Lorraine, who had shut her eyes in fear, finally peeled them open. The first thing she saw was the face of her husband’s sister, Marina Bryant.
What took you so long? Marina queried irritably.
A bad feeling swirled in Loraine’s heart. “Why are you here? Why did those bodyguards drag me here? Did something bad happen to Marco? Is he sick?”
Oh, shut up! Marina cut her off. “Nothing bad happened to my brother. You were brought here because you will be giving Keely one of your kidneys.”
What? Loraine couldn’t believe her ears. “Did Marco consent to this?”
The three years of her marriage weren’t rosy at all. She knew about Keely Haywood—the apple of Marco’s eye. In the past, Keely was receiving treatment abroad. Marco traveled out constantly to see her. He was rarely at home. Now that Keely was back in the country, he brought her into his house and gave her all his attention.
It hurt a lot that Marco didn’t treat her well. However, Loraine still held out hope that he would fall in love with her one day. She became a slave to him and his entire family. Every day, she did all the chores in the house.
The fact that they were asking for her kidney was the height of it all.
It was hard to believe that Marco agreed to this.
Marina avoided eye contact with her and replied arrogantly, “Of course! You and I know that my brother doesn’t love any other woman but Keely. If Grandma hadn’t urged him to get married when Keely was still receiving treatment abroad, my brother wouldn’t have married you. Otherwise, an orphan from the slums like you wouldn’t be able to married into the Bryant family.”
Loraine watched her lips move, her ears shut off and her mind wandered.
Marina stood with her hands akimbo and continued disdainfully, “You have failed to conceive a child even after three years. You’re just a servant in our house. Now that Keely needs a kidney and you are a good match, it’s high time you made yourself useful. If you dare disobey, my brother won’t hesitate to dump you and marry Keely.”
At this moment, Loraine snapped back to reality when the phone in her pocket buzzed.
She whipped it out and looked at the screen.
It was a notification from her bank. Marco transferred ten million dollars to her.
Was this payment for her kidney?
Should she feel honored that her kidney was so valuable?
Loraine’s heart ached severely. Tears made her eyes sting and they turned red. However, her pride made her blink back the tears that were threatening to fall.
Marina, who had been blabbing, suddenly commanded the bodyguards impatiently, “Keep an eye on her. I’ll go see the doctor. The surgery must be done immediately. She mustn’t run away.”
Marina intentionally dropped that threat to show Loraine that she meant business. Then she left arrogantly.
Loraine wasn’t going to allow them to use her just like that. When the bodyguards tried to stop her, she kicked them in the groin.
She barged into the ward, intending to ask Marco about this.
The scene she saw made her freeze on the spot. Marco was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Keely was leaning against his chest.
Marco rubbed her back and said comfortingly, “Don’t worry, Keely. I’ll pull out all the stops for you to get well. Just trust me, okay? I have already found the perfect match for you. You’ll get better in no time.”
Loraine’s heart sank to her stomach at this moment.
Genevieve ordered a ton of takeouts. She sat at a table in the cafe opposite Langfield Hotel with Patrick and enjoyed her food.Soon, she saw a taxi stop on the roadside near the hotel.
Genevieve\’s red lips curved into a smile when she saw Cooper get out of the taxi and enter the hotel with a grim expression. She took out her phone, sent a text, and then got up to her feet.\”Let\’s go, Patrick. We have a show to catch.\”
Cooper got on the elevator and arrived outside Room 2588 in no time. As he recalled what had happened half a month ago, his expression turned grimmer.Could Genevieve be the one who is behind this?
As Cooper suspected Genevieve, he could vaguely hear a woman\’s moans coming out from Room 2588. He clenched his jaw, lifted his leg, and kicked the door forcefully.After two or three kicks, the door was forced open. Cooper paced into the room with long strides.
The two naked people on the bed were too immersed in the moment to hear the sound of Cooper kicking the door. Even when Cooper had approached them, they were still passionately making out.With a dark expression, Cooper picked up the lamp by the bedside and smashed it against the man\’s head.
\”Ah!\” the man screamed in pain, and Erica snapped back to her senses.\”C-Coop…\”Erica never expected Cooper to show up there. Her face turned pale, and she quickly yanked at the blanket to cover her body.
Cooper glanced at the man and immediately recognized him. He grabbed Erica by her hair and questioned, \”Erica, you arranged for your cousin to enter Specter Corporation just so you can conveniently have an affair with him?\”\”N-No. It\’s not like that.\” Erica\’s scalp began to hurt from the pulling of her hair. She was trembling as she said, \”He forced me…\”
Cooper slapped her across her face and spat, \”You\’re f*cking disgusting!\”The slap threw Erica on the bed. She scrambled back up. She covered her body by tugging at the blanket with one hand. Then, she tugged at Cooper\’s pants with her other hand.
She cried and said, \”Harrison forced me… He said if I didn\’t sleep with him, he would spread the news of you committing bribery and destroy your reputation. Coop, I did it for you…\”Cooper\’s expression softened a little.
He had found it odd that he received such a message right after getting off the plane. He had even suspected that Genevieve was the mastermind behind that.So, Harrison is the real culprit…
Erica let out a sigh of relief as she saw Cooper dismiss his suspicions of her. She didn\’t have the time to wonder how Cooper found that place. Her priority was to get rid of Harrison, in case he let the cat out of the bag.Before Erica could get up from the floor, a crowd of reporters rushed in with their cameras and lenses. They clicked their shutters non-stop.
\”H-How did you all get in here?\” The flashes from the cameras almost blinded her. She tightly grasped the blanket around her chest and yelled, \”Coop, get them out of here! Hurry! Get them out!\”Not only did the reporters not leave, but they also began taking photos even more aggressively. They started asking questions one after another.
\”Ms. Hall, what going on? Are you having an affair?\”\”The news circulating the internet says that the little boy you brought to the hospital isn\’t Mr. Sutton\’s child. Is that true?\”The look in Cooper\’s eyes suddenly changed. He looked toward that reporter and asked, \”What news?\”
The reporter quickly replied, \”Half an hour ago, a nurse from General Hospital posted on Twitter. She did a blood test for the child previously, and his blood type is A. However, your blood type and Ms. Hall\’s blood type, as written on the documents, are B…\”Even before the reporter finished his sentence, Cooper figured out the whole situation. He slapped Erica again.
\”No wonder you keep bringing Leroy to the hospital after the family doctor resigned. You were afraid that I would find out!\” Cooper was infuriated. He said, \”Well, aren\’t you f*cking incredible?\”\”Coop, Leroy is your son!
Harrison forced me. I did it all for you… If you think I\’m too dirty, you can hit me or scold me, but you can\’t doubt Leroy. If you don\’t believe me, we can bring Leroy to the hospital now for a DNA test!\” Tears of sadness streamed down Erica\’s face as she tried to explain.
She even raised her hand and swore with confidence, \”Coop, I swear. If I lied to you, I will die a horrible death!\”Just then, Harrison, who Cooper hit in the head with a lamp, finally regained consciousness. He sneered, \”Erica, stop swearing, for God\’s sake.
Do you even believe your own words?\”Erica started to panic. She turned to Harrison and said, \”Harrison, I know you like me, but I\’ll never be with you. Is it not enough for you to get your revenge on me?
Why do you have to mislead Coop and say that Leroy isn\’t his biological son?\”Doesn\’t he always do as I wish? Why is he saying something like that now? Has he lost his mind?
Harriet loved everything, including the style and color, about the suits Genevieve picked out. Thus, Harriet bought all of them. After selecting the two suits to gift Armand, Genevieve thought the neckties in the drawer looked nice, so she picked some out.
“Grandma, these two neckties go well with the suits we just picked out.”
As Genevieve spoke, she passed a black card to the shop assistant. She continued, “These two are gifts. Please wrap them nicely.” “I’ll foot the bill. How could I let you pay?\” Harriet stopped Genevieve.
\”Don\’t worry about it. It\’s just two ties. I haven\’t even thanked you for chatting with me for so long,\” said Genevieve as she pushed Harriet\’s card back to her. \”No. That won\’t do. These two are unrelated matters.\” Genevieve pondered for a moment and said, \”Grandma, there\’s a boutique upstairs.
Why don\’t you gift me a gown, and we\’ll call it even?\” \”Okay.\” Harriet finally smiled. The boutique upstairs was a tailor shop. All of their clothes were handsewn, and they used high-quality fabric. Harriet touched one of the gowns and was reluctant to let go. Genevieve could tell that Harriet was interested.
She took the one Harriet had her eyes on and said, \”Grandma, this one suits you. Let me help you.\” Harriet was a Jazonian woman. She loved figure-hugging gowns, but she hurt her arm during an act in front of her grandson. Therefore, she could not wear a figure-hugging gown for the time being.
In the end, Harriet bought two of them and was perfectly satisfied. When Genevieve left the mall with Harriet, the sky had begun to darken, and she received a notification on her phone. Genevieve checked her phone and smiled.
She turned to Harriet and said, \”Grandma, something came up, and I need to go now. Is someone coming to pick you up, or should I call a cab for you?\” \”I\’m fine. Go ahead. Someone will come and fetch me.\” Harriet waved her hand. Since Harriet had put it that way, Genevieve didn\’t probe further.
She waited for Patrick to drive the car from the underground parking lot, then opened the car door and got in. Right after Patrick\’s car left, a Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside. Frankie saw Harriet carrying multiple shopping bags alone. He hurried over and took them off her hands as he said, \”Old Mrs. Faulkner, why didn\’t you let the housekeepers follow you again?\”
\”I haven\’t called, so why are you here?\” asked Harriet in surprise. \”Mr. Armand called and told me.\” Harriet got in the car and glanced at the shopping bags after Frankie put them in. She belatedly realized that Genevieve had paid for the gowns too. \”This child…\” Harriet shook her head with a smile.
With curiosity, Frankie asked, \”What is it?\” \”Armand did a good job this time. He found a good granddaughter-in-law for me.\” Harriet smiled and seemed very happy. She continued, \”Out of all my granddaughters-in-law, she\’s the only likable one.\” \”Didn\’t you say Ms. Rachford came from a non-reputable family?\”
Frankie had a look of confusion. He added, \”You even asked me to prepare the money to drive her away…\” Harriet scoffed, \”Can\’t I have a change of heart?\” Soon, Harriet turned her gaze to the view outside the car window. Her gaze turned sharp as she said, \”As long as Armand gets married, it\’s good.
What should not be coveted will not be coveted again. It\’s about time someone gives up.\” Frankie understood what Harriet meant. He answered, \”Yes.\” However, he sighed in his heart. I bet things would turn ugly once the person finds out that Mr. Armand has gotten married.
The person will never give up. For the past few days, the outside world had been convinced of Erica and Cooper\’s relationship because Erica brought a child to the hospital for a consultation. The scandal also affected Specter Corporation\’s stock prices. Cooper wanted to prevent the scandal from causing an impact on the company.
However, regardless of how much money and manpower he had expended to do so, he couldn\’t keep a lid on the news. Furthermore, he couldn\’t find out the culprit behind all this. That day, Cooper went to Feston for a meeting to discuss a large-scale collaboration. He was worn out when he returned to Jadeborough at night.
He had just switched on his phone when he received a text message from an unknown sender. The text message read: Mr. Cooper, your girlfriend is now with a man in Room 2588 in Langfield Hotel. He narrowed his eyes and thought that the room number was familiar. Langfield Hotel… Room 2588?
While heading out of the airport, he dialed Erica\’s phone number. The call got through, but she didn\’t pick up. Cooper then called the housekeeper of the mansion.
He found out from the housekeeper that Erica would be home late because she was meeting her close friends. His heart dropped, and he coldly said to the driver, \”Langfield Hotel!\”
Chapter 30 Help MeThe old lady, Harriet Clarke, stood aside as she looked at Genevieve with an approving smile on her face.She actually recognized Genevieve right away when the latter approached them.Frankie had brought along Genevieve\’s information and recent updates on the girl when he came over to make his reports to Harriet the other day.
Even though Harriet wished that Armand would get married as soon as possible, the Faulkner family was still a respectable family after all. Genevieve did not come from a reputable family, nor did she have a good reputation. Hence, Harriet had good reasons to doubt Armand\’s choice.She was about to ask Armand to bring Genevieve back home so that she could scare the latter off.
However, Harriet did not expect to bump into Genevieve when she was picking out a suit for her grandson. Genevieve\’s actions had made Harriet change her mind.It seemed that Armand had truly looked for a decent granddaughter-in-law for her this time.Patrick came over, clutching Genevieve\’s things, as the latter argued with the shop assistant.
He recognized Harriet right away and nearly choked from the surprise. \”Mrs—\”Harriet shot a look at the man and shook her head, signaling him to keep the revelation to himself.Thus, Patrick could only swallow his words.
Genevieve heard the man and assumed that he was addressing her instead. \”Patrick, what\’s the matter?\”\”Mrs. Faulkner, you\’re so awesome!\” Patrick said in an attempt to cover up his blunder. \”How dare these shop assistants look down on other people! It\’s time they learn their lesson!\”Genevieve smiled and held Harriet\’s arm. \”Let\’s go, madam. I think there are other stores selling suits on this floor. Let me show you around. We don\’t have to stay here and be humiliated by the others.\”
\”Will it cause you trouble?\” the old lady asked with an amicable smile.Genevieve somehow felt that the old lady resembled her grandmother for a split second. She felt tears brimming in her eyes as she replied tenderly, \”Of course not. I\’m only out for window shopping today.\”
Harriet nodded and said, \”Okay.\”Patrick tailed behind Genevieve and Harriet as they headed out of the boutique. Then, he hurriedly sent a text to Armand.Meanwhile, at Central Group, Armand was having his first meeting with the top management of the group after coming back from overseas.
Over forty people from the top management occupied the spacious conference room. A senior executive was making his reports as Armand, who was presiding over the conference room, flipped through some documents. The air in the conference room was filled with tension.All of a sudden, the phone on the table vibrated.
It was a text message from Patrick that read: Armand, something happened! I accompanied Mrs. Faulkner to do some shopping, and we bumped into Old Mrs. Faulkner!Armand furrowed his brows after reading the text from Patrick.
When he was getting the marriage certificate with Genevieve the other day, it was the call from the Faulkner residence claiming that Harriet had fainted while having lunch that made him leave Genevieve and rush back home.Armand still vividly remembered the pale and sickly look on Harriet\’s face as she lay on the bed. It seemed as if she would be bedridden for months.
The old lady even talked to him as if she was heaving her last breaths, \”Armand, I\’m afraid I cannot hold on much longer. I won\’t be able to leave in peace if I don\’t see you get married and have kids…\”Hence, Armand was befuddled by the fact that Harriet was spotted shopping at the mall.When Armand thought of the negative news about Genevieve recently, his eyes darkened as he texted Patrick: Think of a way to separate them.
I\’m going to ask Frankie to go pick my grandmother up.He reckoned that Harriet must have known something already by then. Hence, Armand knew that his grandmother would not have fancied Genevieve.However, he still needed the woman.
Just when Armand was about to contact Frankie, Patrick sent him another text message that read: Wow, Old Mrs. Faulkner is holding Mrs. Faulkner\’s hand. It seems like she adores Mrs. Faulkner!Armand was rendered speechless.Meanwhile, back in the mall, Genevieve held Harriet\’s hand as they chatted away. Genevieve could not help but address Harriet as \”Grandma\” endearingly.
Then, Genevieve realized that it might have been inappropriate for her to do so and said apologetically, \”I\’m sorry, madam. My grandma just passed away. She was about your age. I just can\’t help but see her in you and keep calling you Grandma…\”\”It\’s okay,\” Harriet said warmly and patted Genevieve\’s hand. \”I like that you\’re calling me Grandma. You may continue to do so.\”Pleased with the old lady\’s generosity, Genevieve smiled. \”Grandma, who are you picking out suits for?\”
\”It\’s for my grandson,\” Harriet said before glancing at Genevieve and continuing, \”He\’s really busy at work, and he has no one to care for him. So, he\’s only got a few sets of suits. Miss, why don\’t you help me pick out two sets?\”\”Sure.\” Genevieve nodded. \”I was in the boutique to pick out two sets of suits for my husband as well.\”
She actually planned to return Armand\’s courtesy in getting her a wedding gift by getting him two sets of suits. Nonetheless, she did not expect to bump into the shop assistant humiliating the old lady.\”You\’re so sweet,\” Harriet said smilingly.Genevieve took Harriet into another boutique and asked for the latter\’s grandson\’s size.
The old lady pointed at Patrick and said, \”He\’s about the size of this man.\”Patrick could not help but roll his eyes silently. Armand is bulkier than me, and he\’s not even as handsome as well. How could we be the same?
Chapter 29 Toe The LineGenevieve contacted the person during working hours, and the person quickly approved her friend request.She said nothing and sent over two videos and some photos.It did not take long for the other person to reply to her.
After chatting for a bit, Genevieve used a computer to wire the money to the person. After having reached an agreement, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she soon felt a chill down her spine.Armand must have known what I was about to do when he gave me this card. Come to think of it, Steven showed up promptly when I was hit by a car, and also, I humiliated Cooper and Erica during the dinner with the video…
She could not help but feel like Armand had already anticipated her every move.\”P-Patrick, have I offended Armand in any way?\” Genevieve stuttered.Patrick thought for a moment and nodded. \”Yeah. Remember when you guys were having breakfast in the morning? Didn\’t you guys quarrel for a bit then? I noticed that Armand was quite mad at you.\”
Genevieve recalled what had happened and grew exasperated at herself as she felt like slapping herself hard across the face.That man is frightening. I have got to toe the line and refrain from talking back to him.
After having lunch at home, Genevieve and Patrick went out at one o\’clock in the afternoon.Patrick heeded Genevieve\’s instruction and drove to the mall. As he accompanied her shopping, he could not help but ask, \”Mrs. Faulkner, we\’re out to watch some drama, right? I thought we were going to witness a homewrecker\’s life crumble before her? Why are we out for… clothes shopping instead?\”
\”No rush. I heard that Cooper is working outstation at Feston, and he\’s only coming back tonight.\” Genevieve entered a boutique and did some window shopping. \”This drama is not going to be good without him.\”Patrick was rendered speechless.
\”Old lady, we are a high-end boutique, and one set of our suits costs at least two hundred thousand. Please do not touch our suits if you can\’t afford them!\”Genevieve heard a shop assistant\’s disdainful remarks as she talked to Steven.
She traced the direction where the voice came from and noticed that a shop assistant was carefully brushing through a suit with gloved hands. There was a scornful look on her face.Opposite the shop assistant stood a white-haired old lady in a modest outfit.
There were wrinkles around the corners of her eyes, and there was a serene vibe to the old lady. It was as if her age had made her all the wiser.The old lady was not infuriated by the shop assistant\’s derisive remarks. Instead, she said calmly, \”I\’m just trying to feel the fabric.\”
\”As I\’ve mentioned, we are a high-end boutique. Of course, our clothing uses nothing but the best quality fabric!\” The shop assistant glanced at the old lady\’s outfit and chided even louder, \”Old people like you always have a peculiar smell! How am I going to sell these if the suits are stained with those smells?\”The old lady put her hands behind her as her face fell.
It was not uncommon for shop assistants of luxury boutiques to look down on others. Genevieve would not have cared to interfere back in the past.However, she had just lost her own grandmother, and she could not bear to see the old lady being humiliated.
She passed the things clutched in her hands to Patrick and headed toward the old lady and the shop assistant.\”This suit\’s fabric is quite nice,\” Genevieve said as she approached the shop assistant. \”Could I have a look?\”When the shop assistant saw Chanel\’s latest piece of the season on Genevieve, her eyes glinted.
She hurriedly handed over the suit in her hand and said, \”Miss, we are the most prestigious brand in Irushea. Hence, we use only the most exquisite fabric for our pieces. Please, have a look.\”Genevieve did not take over the suit. Instead, she frowned and said in a displeased tone, \”Why are you wearing gloves? Are you disrespecting me?\”
\”No, of course not. That\’s not what I meant.\” The shop assistant hurriedly took off her gloves afterward.\”This, and this… I think they\’re quite to my liking. I\’d like to take a closer look.\” Genevieve pointed at the suits and appeared to be quite interested in them.
The shop assistant was overjoyed, as she thought she had scored a big client. She hurriedly took the suits and passed them over to Genevieve.Genevieve put on a disdainful look and mocked, \”Didn\’t you claim that you\’re a high-end boutique that uses only the best fabric? You eat, drink, and go to the toilet using your hands. God knows how many germs you\’ve got on them. Are you trying to pass on the germs to me?
Ew, that\’s so gross.\”With a wave of her hand, Genevieve said, \”I don\’t want these suits anymore!\”All colors drained from the shop assistant\’s face as Genevieve mocked her. She could not help but retort, \”Miss, are you doing this on purpose?
My hands are clean. There are no germs on them.\”\”This old lady here is clean as well. Why did you claim that she had a peculiar smell to her?\”
Genevieve crossed her arms over her chest and shot the shop assistant a frigid look.\”Even if this is a high-end boutique, you\’re only a shop assistant. What makes you think you\’re superior to the others? How dare you look down on your customers?\”
Chapter 28 What Else Do You Think It IsSuddenly, Genevieve seemed to recall something. She stared wide-eyed at Armand. \”Did you ask me to go to the master bedroom last night because of this?\”
\”What else do you think it is?\” Armand flashed a half-smile and asked, \”Do you think I called you to wash my hair?\”Genevieve was tongue-tied.The scenes in the bathroom the night before flooded Genevieve\’s mind. She had even wondered if Armand would wait to be served on the bed too.
Embarrassed, all Genevieve wanted was to bury herself in a hole.No wonder he asked me what my profession was. He was trying to arrange a job for me…\”Armand, you\’re not a good CEO.\” Biting the cream rolls, Patrick said in a muffled voice, \”Why are you arranging for your wife to work in the company? You can just get her a job in the company through connections. Why does she need to be interviewed?
The domineering CEO in the novel is better than you!\”Armand sneered. \”It\’s useless to use connections if she\’s not capable. She\’ll be kicked out of Central Group in less than three minutes.\”\”It\’s just a normal interview. I can handle it,\” said Genevieve. Remembering Armand\’s mockery last night, she added, \”I\’ll get a job in
Central Group and prove that I\’m not incapable.\”Genevieve knew there were a lot of talented people in Central Group.However, she did not waste her time studying in Dartan for a few years.Armand\’s thin lips curled into a smile when he saw her confident look. Soon, he left with Steven.
After having breakfast, Genevieve sat in the living room, holding a notebook.She drafted her resume and proofread it before letting Patrick take a look at the resume.\”Here.\” Patrick pointed at the marital status column and said, \”Write Armand\’s name on the husband\’s detail. He\’s currently the director and the CEO of Central Group. His net worth is hundreds of billions…\”
Speechless, Genevieve rolled her eyes at him.After spending more than two hours amending her resume, Genevieve was finally satisfied with it. After that, she sent it to Steven\’s WhatsApp.
Patrick, who sat opposite Genevieve, had also finished his work. He handed a phone to Genevieve and said, \”I\’ve already hacked into Erica and her secret lover\’s phone. Besides, I\’ve reprogrammed the WhatsApp and calling system.\”\”Thanks for your help.\” Genevieve took the phone and soon logged into Erica\’s phone application.
After asking Patrick to check on Erica and her secret lover, Genevieve had a clear plan in her mind. She wanted to let Erica know the feeling of being caught red-handed for cheating.Genevieve could not wait for the show to start that night.
\”You\’re welcome!\” Patrick rubbed his palms and stared at the black card on the coffee table intently. \”Mrs. Faulkner, you can just simply buy me some presents as a reward!\”Then, Patrick complained, \”You have no idea how stingy Steven is. He\’s holding my bank card, and he won\’t give me extra money except for the pocket money every month.\”
He paused for a brief moment before continuing, \”He said he was helping me to save money to get married However, he\’s in his thirties, but he isn\’t married yet. The audacity of him to interfere with my matters!\”After hearing his words, Genevieve felt Patrick was quite pitiful. \”Okay. You can choose whatever you want!\”\”Wow, you\’re a good person, Mrs. Faulkner!\” Patrick flattered Genevieve, and he pushed the laptop toward her. \”I want to have this helicopter.
You can get a ten percent discount if you buy this month!\”Genevieve was at a loss for words.Looking at the expensive price of the helicopter, she immediately put the black card on the coffee table into her pocket as if worrying that Patrick would snatch it away.
Patrick\’s face fell when he saw Genevieve\’s reaction. \”Mrs. Faulkner, didn\’t you say that I can have whatever I want?\”\”It\’s a two or three hundred million aircraft. How can I let you choose as you wish?\”\”Is two or three hundred million a lot?\” Patrick mumbled, \”Armand said this card he gave you doesn\’t have a limit. You can even buy ten aircraft.\”
Annoyed, Genevieve kicked him away and said, \”Why don\’t you ask Steven to buy it for you if it\’s cheap…\”Suddenly, she stopped as if she remembered something.
When Armand gave her the card, he said the money could make anyone do anything. Initially, she could not fathom the meaning behind his words, but she seemed to understand them now.Genevieve immediately took Patrick\’s phone from the coffee table. She opened WhatsApp and clicked on the friend adding list.
