Chapter 34 A Great Act
“Mr. Sutton, use your extra cash to get an eye checkup at the hospital and get a better secretary. Don’t
waste it on trying to keep a lid on the trending news.”
Upon hearing that, Cooper quickly realized that the news he had failed to stamp out and everything that
had happened that day was all Genevieve’s doing.
They were very close to each other, so he could even detect the faint smell of cigarettes on Genevieve.
Women don’t like this kind of cigarettes. Now that I think about what I saw at City Hall and…
Cooper despised Genevieve when he realized she had done some unspeakable thing. At the same
time, he felt a wave of rage rising in his heart for an inexplicable reason.
The mixed feelings surging in him caused him to lose his composure, and he raised his hand to slap
Genevieve.
Suddenly, a man emerged and grabbed Cooper’s wrist tightly. He pushed him away. “Just try laying a
hand on the lady of our family. I dare you.”
“Let’s go, Patrick.” The show was over, and Genevieve didn’t want to stay there any longer. She turned
around and left.
Patrick immediately followed her.
When Patrick pushed Cooper away, Cooper recognized Patrick in no time, which indirectly made him
realize that Genevieve really had a close relationship with Armand.
Did they go to City Hall that day to get their marriage certificate?
Cooper’s heart clenched as he instinctively stepped forward to chase after Genevieve. However, the Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
horde of reporters surrounded him.
“Mr. Sutton, why did you set Ms. Rachford up?”
“I heard that the car accident that had caused Mr. Rachford’s and Mrs. Rachford’s deaths wasn’t
actually an accident. Were you behind that too?”
“Mr. Sutton, please answer the question!”
The reporters interrogated Cooper, but he kept his mouth shut, so they quickly turned their cameras to
Erica.
Erica had long lost all her honor. She answered everything the reporters asked.
However, Cooper pulled her by her arm with a tight grip before she could say much. His tone was cold
as ice as he threatened, “Shut up or I’ll strangle you.”
Cooper pushed the reporters away and dragged Erica out of the room as he shouted, “Get lost!”
Right after Genevieve stepped out of the hotel with Patrick in tow, she got a message from Harrison
saying Cooper had taken Erica away.
She wasn’t the least bit worried. Instead, she wired the end payment to Harrison without hesitation.
After Patrick hacked into Erica’s phone, he not only discovered her relationship with Harrison but also
found out that Erica had gone to a host club with her friends.
Erica had even complained to her friends about how stupid Harrison was and revealed her motives
behind her decision to give birth to her child.
Genevieve knew that Erica and Harrison grew up together, so Harrison would never betray Erica just
for money. Furthermore, Erica even gave birth to his child.
Even so, things were different after he knew what Erica did.
As expected, after Genevieve gave the information to Harrison, he approached her of his own volition
to conspire with her.
“Mrs. Faulkner, you were crying too hard just now.” Patrick glanced at Genevieve and couldn’t refrain
from asking, “You don’t have feelings for Cooper anymore, do you?”
“All my feelings for him were gone when I found out the truth. Now, I only hold grudges against him and
nothing else.”
Genevieve added expressionlessly, “Besides, I’ll be on the headlines tomorrow. Would the netizens pity
me if I didn’t cry hard enough?”
Patrick instantly understood what she meant. “Wow! Your crying act was amazing, Mrs. Faulkner! What
you said made me hate Cooper so much that I wanted to punch him.”
Genevieve thanked Patrick for his praise and smiled as she said, “It looks like Cooper will be busy for
quite some time.”
Half a month ago, Cooper had divorced her and kicked her out of the house without even giving her a
penny. After that, she was helpless and could do nothing about Winifred’s death. However, she finally
got to humiliate Cooper that day.
The reason why she had managed to exact vengeance was that she had Armand backing her.
She made a deal with Armand. All she needed to do was marry Armand, and she could use his
authority to do whatever she wanted.
Genevieve suddenly felt that she was at the winning end of the deal.
Because the two of them had not planned to stay at the hotel for long, Patrick had parked the car by
the roadside. They walked down the stairs and along the pavement. All of a sudden, the car exploded.
Genevieve heard a loud explosion. The vehicle in front of her blew into pieces as a blazing flame rose
to the sky.
It had all happened too fast for her to react. She stood there, frozen.
Patrick was about to throw himself on Genevieve to protect her when a tall figure appeared out of
nowhere and pulled Genevieve into his embrace.
The man wore a thin shirt. The metal shard that flew from the explosion cut through his shirt and
pierced into his back. Blood gushed out from the wound, and he groaned in pain.
Genevieve quickly snapped back to her senses and realized that the man who shielded her was
Armand. She asked in surprise, “Mando, what are you doing here?”
“I have a meeting with a business partner here.” Armand’s tone was steady, but his complexion was
rather pale.
He scanned Genevieve from head to toe and asked, “Are you injured?”
“No. I’m fine.” She shook her head. She could smell a faint scent of blood.
Soon, Patrick got up from the ground and glanced at Armand’s back. He took a deep breath and said,
“Armand, your back…”
