Chapter 99 Everyone Knows How To Be A Bitch When Genevieve lifted her head and questioned Armand, the latter could obviously see her raised browsand cunning smile. At that instant, Armand knew she made such a statement at Marilyn on purpose. He was aware of Genevieve studying overseas for a few years, but he didn’t realize that she knewMarilyn.However, based on the expression she had now, he bet she knew about Marilyn’s status before cominghere. Armand then turned his gaze to Marilyn, who was standing before them. When he saw her bit her lipsand had a pale face, he creased his brows subtly. “Darling?” Seeing Armand didn’t give her any response, Genevieve raised the corners of her lips andinquired, “Why aren’t you talking?” “You can call her whatever you want. The Faulkner family doesn’t have strict rules on how to addresseach other,” Armand replied nonchalantly. He pulled his arm away from Genevieve’s grip and patted theback of her waist. “Go say hi to Grandma.” Genevieve smiled sarcastically in response. As she followed Armand’s gaze, she saw Harriet, who wasfull of energy, walking toward them.novelbin
Harriet was wearing a black gown and an elegant-looking bracelet on her wrist. Her aura was majesticand classy, making it impossible to ignore her presence. Though there were a lot of fine lines and wrinkles around her eyes, her gaze was sharp yet gentle. Harriet was an exquisite woman when she was young. Though she was older now and looked moremajestic, her beauty hadn’t disappeared. “Huh? Grandma?” The moment Genevieve caught a clear look on Harriet’s face, she immediatelyrecognized the latter as the old lady she met in the mall last time. A saleswoman of a shop was makingthings difficult for Harriet back then.
No wonder Patrick’s face looked weird then. He must have recognized Old Mrs. Faulkner! Harriet smiled and nodded. She then stood before Genevieve as she got near them. “I asked Patrick to tell you nothing that day. I didn’t want to bother you since I plan to get to know youwhen you come here with Armand. But I do not anticipate it taking this long to meet you officially. Youwon’t blame me for not telling you who I am, right?” “Of course.” Genevieve took a step forward and held Harriet’s arm. With a gentle and lovable voice, shecontinued, “Thank you for accepting me, Grandma. I’m extremely blessed to be your granddaughter-in-law.” She then gestured at the housekeeper to bring forward the dendrobium. “Grandma, as I’m meeting you for the first time today, I’m not sure what kind of gift to bring. So, I decidedto get you a pot of dendrobium on my way here when I overheard that you love dendrobium,” Genevieveexplained. “I see. It looks nice.” Harriet nodded her head satisfyingly. She even took a peek at Genevieve from thecorner of her eye. I’m happy with both the flower and the person. “If so, please keep it. I’ll look for a better one and gift it to you in the future,” Genevieve responded with afaint smile. She then held Harriet’s hand and led the latter to the living room. “Okay. Don’t forget your promise.” “So long as you don’t mind me bothering you.” When Genevieve spoke, she even placed her head onHarriet’s shoulder, looking like a granddaughter acting coquettishly with her grandmother. “Grandma, your gown is so pretty. I would have bought you a few more that day if I knew how pretty itlooks on you.” The smile on Harriet’s face became brighter as if she was in a great mood. “Really?” “Of course! I’m a straightforward person. I say anything that crosses my mind. Grandma, if we go out ona date together, others would probably see us as mother and daughter!” “Haha!” When the housekeepers heard Harriet’s laughter, they discreetly took a peek at the living room as they
were astonished to hear that. The Faulkner family had a lot of descendants, and many of the grandchildren were married. Everymonth, all the descendants would visit Harriet here, and the latter always greeted them with the samestern expression. Even toward Marilyn, the charming elder had never shown her affection. However, things were different that day. Genevieve not only managed to please Harriet with a pot ofdendrobium as a present but also made the lady of the house laugh at her words. Mdm. Genevieve really is remarkable. Besides the shocked housekeepers, Marilyn, who was still standing at the residence’s entrance,clenched her fists tightly while leaving them hanging by her side. In Marilyn’s eyes, everyone had the skills to say flattery words and make the old lady happy. Genevievewasn’t the only one equipped with those abilities. In her opinion, Harriet’s affection for Genevieve was merely a result of her love for her grandson.
