Chapter 24
At that moment, the manager from the Public Relations Department called and said anxiously, “Mr. Sutton, a video of Ms. Hall
carrying a boy to see the doctor at the hospital was exposed on the internet. Someone has also uploaded a video from the
dinner banquet, and it has gone viral on a few sites.”
“Do I need to teach you how to deal with these kinds of news? You are fired if you can‘t settle this!” Cooper said coldly as he
pulled his tie in frustration.
His rage continued to rise after he hung up the phone. A few seconds later, he called Erica.
“Coop...”
“You can get the family doctor to the house or tell the help to bring Leroy to the hospital if he is not feeling well. Did you bring him
outside yourself because you think I don‘t have enough on my plate? The whole internet is filled with the video of you and the kid
right now!”
Erica was flustered on the other end of the phone when she heard Cooper‘s words. “I didn‘t expect that someone would follow
me...”
“This is the first and the last time. Specter Corporation is my sweat and blood. I will send you and the child abroad if there‘s
anything that affects Specter Corporation again,” Cooper warned.
Why can‘t we take down the news? Who‘s going against me?
Cooper pondered with frustration and looked across the road again. Armand had already gotten into his car, and Cooper‘s gaze
darkened at the sight of that.
Is that woman going to accept anybody‘s help for the sake of taking revenge?
Meanwhile, Armand placed the marriage certificate into the storage compartment under the armrest by the driver‘s seat without
much thought. Then, he asked calmly, “What were you trying to say when we came out of the City Hall just now?”
Genevieve pressed her lips together and said, “Are we going to hold a wedding, Mr. Faulkner?”
“Up to you. I will ask Steven to arrange it if you want,” he answered even though he was slightly surprised by her question.
“It‘s fine. Let it be, then, if it‘s up to me,” Genevieve quickly said.
The fact that Armand did not want to hold a wedding was just exactly what she wanted.
She was worried that she might pass away just like his previous wives if they did hold a wedding. She thought she might live
longer if they kept their marriage a secret.
Armand could tell straight away what Genevieve was thinking from the slightest change in her expression. He was amused, and
the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.
“Mr. Faulkner.” Still, Genevieve seemed to have something else on her mind.
“Now that we‘re married, you calling me Mr. Faulkner sounds a little distant. I‘m the fourth child in my family, and they usually call
me Mando. So you can call me Mando or Armand,” Armand said casually as he lit up a cigarette and rolled down the window.

“Mando, then,” Genevieve replied. She chose that because, for some reason, she could not bring herself to address Armand by
his real name.
She pondered for a moment and continued, “The housekeeper who sprained her back is called Maria. She has been working for
the Rachford family for twenty years and watched me grow up. Now that Maria is getting old, I‘m worried that Cooper might give
her a hard time. Could you get Maria to move to Swallow Garden to take care of me?”
“Have you forgotten what I said yesterday? Now that we‘re married, you‘re Mrs. Faulkner and the lady of Swallow Garden,” said
Armand as he glanced at her.
Feeling relieved, Genevieve smiled and said, “Thank you, Mando.”
Armand had initially planned to get the marriage certificate in the morning. However, he ended up having to handle some
matters. Adding on to that was Maria and her sprained back. Thus, he and Genevieve had been busy running around in the
morning to deal with their businesses. Because of that, it was already about four in the afternoon when they finally got the
marriage certificate.
Armand called the secretarial department to tell them to move everything to the next day and followed Genevieve back to
Swallow Garden.
At night, they had a sumptuous dinner, and Genevieve was in a very good mood.
Since Genevieve found out that Armand was not as cold as she thought and was easy to talk to based on the conversation they
had earlier in the car, she could not help but strike up a conversation with him.
“Mando, do you think two people with blood type B could have a child with blood type A?”
“It‘s possible under one condition. The kid is not theirs,” Armand replied nonchalantly. He seemed to know what she had seen.
Instantly, Genevieve knew what he meant.
At the hematology department in the hospital a few hours ago, she had clearly seen that Leroy‘s blood type was A. However, she
knew that both Cooper and Erica had blood type B. Thus, their kid should have the same blood type.
Worried that she might be wrong, she had even searched online when they were on their way to the City Hall
She had never thought that Leroy was not Cooper‘s child.
