Female Novel
Chapter 93
Sensing that his forehead had begun to sweat, Patrick wiped his hand over it as he tried to avert hisgaze from hers. “I’m really sorry for making you recall those bad memories, Genev.” Cooper had doneeverything he could to make Genevieve divorce him with no strings attached, and Patrick was wellaware of that. “It’s all in the past now.” Genevieve lowered her eyes before shifting her gaze back toPatrick. “The reason why I told you that was because I don’t want you to overthink things. If you’readamant about leaving, that means you don’t acknowledge me as your friend anymore.” Patrickgrinned upon hearing her remark. “How can I leave now that you’ve said that?” Seeing him finally atease, Genevieve smiled as well. The discomfort between them seemed to vanish as they smiled ateach other. Patrick grabbed a pear from the fruit tray and munched on it as he sat by the bed to chatwith Genevieve. “I’ve been trying to restore all the deleted chat histories from Queenie’s phone for thepast two days. However, her phone seemed to be hacked by someone else and they had planted avirus inside it. If I tried to restore anything from the phone, my computer would be infected with thatvirus as well.” “I don’t quite understand what you’re saying,” Genevieve commented as she rubbed herchin with her fingers. “But what’s certain is that the person behind Queenie is surely a powerful figure.”Patrick hummed in acknowledgment. His eyes narrowed as he said, “I’m sure that person is a ruthlessand vicious figure.” “When my dad was still around, he was humble and kind, and his reputation in thebusiness industry was very good, to the point where he had almost no enemies in the business. Afterhe was gone, the only person who wanted to seek revenge against me was Cooper,” Genevieve said.“I thought Cooper was the one behind those evil deeds, but it turns out that he wasn’t.” Feeling quitetired after standing for a while, she pulled out a chair from the table beside her and sat down. “Tell me,Patrick. Who would be so ruthless…” Genevieve paused as she propped her chin with her hand andlooked at Patrick, before she continued, “To use Queenie as a tool to ruin me?” Someone came toPatrick’s mind suddenly. He stopped chewing the pear that was in his hand. “W-Well…” Patrickstammered as he tried to tell her about something. Suddenly, Genevieve showed Patrick her phoneand smiled faintly, “You knew that Marilyn and Mr. Samuel were married, right?” Patrick glanced at thephone’s screen and noticed that it was a photograph of Marilyn and Samuel’s wedding.

Genevieve was smart enough to figure everything out, Patrick decided to be frank with her. “I alreadyknew that Mr. Samuel and Ms. Wood were married. However, since I used to work for Armand abroadin the past, I hardly had any contact with the Faulkner family. Moreover, I’ve only met Ms. Wood once. Ididn’t expect that she was actually Mr. Samuel’s wife.” He then raised his hand and stuck out threefingers, pointing them toward the ceiling, and said, “Genev, I swear that what I said was true!” “Youdon’t have to swear on it. I believe you,” Genevieve said as she shook her head. If Patrick really knewMarilyn, he would not have been so shocked after Genevieve showed him a post of Marilyn displayingher violin on Twitter when they were at the banquet hall that day. Genevieve then took back her phoneand stared at the screen while she said, “Compared to this, I’m much more curious about somethingelse.” Patrick was confused. “What is it?” “Do you recall when I went to the hospital to get my blooddrawn and told you about the car accident, speculating that someone from the Faulkner family haddone something to Mando?” Genevieve smirked. “At that time, I felt really curious. Since Mando hadalready cleaned up the Faulkner family once, and now that he’s in charge of the family, who would’vedared to plot against him? And yet he decided to tolerate whatever the culprit did to him…” She thenlooked at Patrick and saw that he was too guilty to eat anything right then. Smiling faintly, she asked,“That person is Marilyn, am I right?” “Please don’t ask me about this, Genev…” Patrick was on theverge of breaking down. “It’s just a photo. How did you even figure out so much about it? Or are youwomen all so smart?” “Besides this photograph, I’ve seen other things as well.” Genevieve’s eyesdarkened as something came up in her mind. Immediately, she rested her hand on her chin and lookedat Patrick with a smile on her face. “Now that we’re at this point, come on, tell me everything you know.”
