Chapter 37
Steven‘s face instantly became serious as he solemnly asked, “How did you know about Ms. Wood?”
Patrick shrugged and replied, “Though I‘m rarely by Armand‘s side, that doesn‘t mean that I‘m illinformed. I basically know what had happened between Ms. Wood and Armand in the past.”
“Hey, this car accident wasn‘t aimed at Armand. Right?” Patrick asked abruptly.
After hearing no response from Steven, Patrick put the food that he was holding down. He muttered tohimself, “Old Mrs. Faulkner wants to have a grandson. It would be easy for Armand to find a surrogatemother using his abilities. Moreover, didn‘t the previous two women have a fake marriage with Armand?So why did Armand and Genevieve hold a real marriage? Don‘t tell me it was because of Ms. Wood...”As Patrick continued speaking, he suddenly came to a realization.
“All right, shut up!” Steven snapped.
To the left of the hall was the housekeeper‘s room. Though the housekeepers had already slept at thattime, Steven did not want what Patrick had said to be heard by others. novelbin
After getting scolded by Steven, Patrick pouted and immediately stopped speaking.
“Patrick, Even if Armand treats you well, he‘s still the boss while we‘re the workers. No matter how muchyou know about Ms. Wood, just keep your mouth shut. Let‘s just do our best to protect Mrs.
Faulkner,” Steven cautioned in a deep voice while his eyes conveyed warning.
“Got it. I won‘t gossip ever again. I‘m going back to my room to sleep.” Terrified of how Steven lookedwhen he was lecturing someone, Patrick lifted his hands in surrender.
He then carried the ice cream pail that was on the table before attempting to escape.
“Wait! Don‘t say anything you‘re not supposed to in front of Mrs. Faulkner. Or else, once a problemarises, don‘t blame me for not protecting you,” Steven warned.
Patrick immediately understood what Steven meant. The hairs on his body stood on end as he scurriedaway hastily.
When Genevieve was sleeping, all she could think about was the bloody wounds on Armand‘s back. Shekept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and she even began wondering if Armand could onlysleep face down due to his injured back.
Could he even have a good night‘s rest if he slept face down?
She finally fell asleep after a long time. When the sunlight started pouring through the window, it wasalready the second day.
After Genevieve had finished washing up, she went downstairs but Armand was nowhere to be found.
“Is Mando still sleeping?” Usually, Steven would send Armand to the office. However, Steven was still athome that day.
“Mr. Faulkner went out early this morning. He didn‘t let me send him.” Steven answered.
Hearing this, Genevieve frowned. Her face expressed worry as she questioned, “Why didn‘t he stay athome to rest when he‘s injured? Did something urgent happen in the company?”
“Wow! Are you concerned about Armand, Mrs. Faulkner?” asked Patrick cheekily as he glanced at

Genevieve
Genevieve instantly realized that she was indeed worrying excessively.
She blushed and coughed before rolling her eyes at Patrick. “Mando was injured because of me. Isn‘t itnormal for me to care about him?”
“You‘re right,” Patrick said with a know–it–all expression. “Have you seen the news about the hotel?”
Genevieve shook her head as she picked up the bowl of oatmeal that Maria had prepared. “I was tootired after I came home yesterday so I didn‘t have the time to scroll my phone. Did the situation take aturn?”
With Erica‘s confession, Genevieve did not believe that Cooper could clear his name.
“There was no turn of events. Everyone was scolding Cooper and feeling sorry for you. I think youdeserve an Oscar award for crying, Mrs. Faulkner,” Patrick responded while passing her the phone.
Genevieve took the phone and placed it on the table, scrolling it as she had breakfast.
Last night, there was an uproar after the reporters that she had invited had recorded the interview andposted it online. The netizens were scolding Cooper and Erica everywhere online and the news hadbeen on trending since last night.
The comments were as followed: Sh*tty people like them are certainly a match made in heaven.
Serves Cooper right for being cheated on and being infertile. Someone like him doesn‘t deserve to havechildren!
After seeing Genevieve cry, I cried too. If my love of twenty years had betrayed me like that, I would havetaken my own life.
Cooper and wrote the words “Do everyone a favor and die” before sending them to Specter Corporation.
Reading all those comments and news, Genevieve seemed as composed as ever.
In actuality, she had broken down and wanted to take her own life shortly after the incident hadhappened. It was just a coincidence that she met Armand and his presence helped her get through allthat.
