Chapter 297
Genevieve took a cab to Central Group. Just as she came down from the cab, the reporters rushed out of nowhere and
surrounded her.
They threw her almost the same questions. “Ms. Rachford, Ms. Wood claimed that you’ve killed Mrs. Wood. Is that true?”
“When did Mrs. Wood die?”
A surprised look appeared on Genevieve’s face, and the reporters quickly snapped her expressions with their cameras. “I’ve
been keeping my husband company after leaving the office last afternoon. You can check my records at the hospital. Are you
accusing me of something baseless like this when I’ve been spending my time at the hospital? Moreover, I bear no grudges
against Ms. Wood. Why would I want to kill her mother? Is she insane, or am I losing it?”
Everything Genevieve said made sense, but some of the reporters still did not let her off.
“Ms. Wood dated Mr. Faulkner for thirteen years. Did you kill her mother because you’re resentful that Ms. Wood still has a place
in Mr. Faulkner’s heart?”
Genevieve gave the reporters a brief smile. “I know about their matter, but I don’t see the point of doing such a foolish thing.
“Marilyn has been with him for over a decade, and she has taught him what love is. For that, I should thank her. If Mr. Faulkner
still has feelings for Marilyn, I’ll get a divorce with him once he wakes up. If you don’t believe my words, feel free to wait and
see.”
The reporters were people who went after gossip all day. In other words, they had seen all kinds of scenes.
However, it was their first time encountering someone like Genevieve.
She had defended Armand, managed his company for him, and frequently visited him while he was in a coma. Moreover, she
even said that she would let her husband and his ex-girlfriend get together if he really still had feelings for her.
Once the video was uploaded on the internet, it quickly spread onto various social media platforms.
When the netizens saw the video, they angrily left comments such as: A: How can Armand still yearn for his ex-girlfriend? He’s
such an ingrate!
B: I’d say he’s worse than Cooper!
C: Darling, men aren’t reliable. Take his money and run away from him!
D: I’m at Xedells. I heard that Mrs. Wood killed herself with poison. This really has nothing to do with Genevieve.
The Public Relations Department did not even need to intervene in the matter. Just the clip itself was more than enough to swiftly
make others think that Genevieve had nothing to with Martha’s death.
Meanwhile, the police at Xedells soon announced that Martha had killed herself with poison as well.
Timothy nearly dislocated his jaw from laughing after reading the comments. As a matter of fact, he even rushed to the ward to
read them to Armand.
“The netizens are all saying that you’re a douchebag and telling you to keep sleeping and not wake up! They’re even saying that
your wife’s the best wife in the world. Hahaha!”
In the next second, Armand grabbed the jug on the table and threw it in the direction of Timothy’s voice.
“Get lost!”
Timothy caught the jug and placed it back on the table. “I’m just reading the news to you. It’s not as if I’m cursing you. That’s why
I’ve said the worst thing to do is to cross a woman, Armand. Your wife is one dangerously lethal femme fatale!”
Armand rubbed his temples in exasperation.
Indeed, Genevieve’s action would stop the others from slandering her and eventually Central Group, but...
Somehow, he sensed that Genevieve was also doing that to take revenge on him.
After entering the office, Genevieve did not have the time to look on Twitter and find out what the netizens were talking about.
After a meeting in the afternoon, she buried herself deep in a pile of documents.
When working hours were almost over, Johanna knocked on the door and entered with a box in her arms.
“Genev, Specter Corporation sent a package over. I’m guessing that they’re documents.”
In the past, when Cooper’s assistant was too busy, they would send the errand boy to send the things to her.
Genevieve’s eyes were sore after reading documents over an extended period of time. As she massaged her eyes, she said to
Johanna, “Open it and take a look at them to see what kind of documents they are.”
Johanna hummed in response.
She then took out the box cutter and cut the tape on the box apart.
“Ah!”
When Genevieve heard the thump and Johanna’s scream, she leaped to her feet just to see Johanna collapse.
Blood gushed out from the right side of Johanna’s chest and stained her shirt red.
