Chapter 242 Letting Him Have Lunch With Her
Cooper then asked his assistant Christopher to buy him lunch before telling the other colleagues with a
smile, “Sorry, but I’d like to have a private conversation with Genev here.”
His handsome appearance and glasses made him look like a gentleman despite his evil deeds.
He looked so attractive that he even charmed one of her colleagues with his smile.
They nodded and quickly moved over to another table but kept their gaze fixated on the two as they
gossiped among each other.
“I have a feeling that Cooper didn’t actually come here to discuss business. I think he’s here to see
Genevieve!”
“The way he looked at her was so kind and gentle! Do you think they’re getting remarried soon?”
“Wait, who is Genevieve’s new husband? Could it be that she actually remarried Cooper and is simply
keeping it a secret?”
“That does sound possible…”
As Genevieve’s colleagues continued to gossip about them, Cooper pulled up a chair and sat down in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of Genevieve.
“Armand has an uncle named Peter Faulkner. His men have caught Erica and found lots of classified
documents belonging to Specter Corporation. He even has pictures of me and Erica,” he said softly.
“What kind of documents? Would it cause damage to the company?” Genevieve asked.
“I got worried about Erica making copies of the company’s classified documents when I couldn’t find her
back then, so I had my men handle the situation as soon as possible. Fortunately, she didn’t cause too
much damage. After that, Peter sent me some of the pictures and asked me to meet him in Xedells. Said
he wanted to discuss business with me,” Cooper replied.
“According to the financial news, someone from the Faulkner family has bought shares in Specter
Corporation,” Genevieve said as she recalled asking Armand in Springwyn if he had bought those
shares.
Armand claimed that it wasn’t him who did it.
Cooper nodded. “It was Peter who purchased those shares. He now holds six percent of Specter
Corporation’s shares, making him one of the company’s shareholders.”
Their conversation was interrupted when Christopher came over with his lunch. He then placed the food
down on the table and handed them two glasses of iced lemon tea.
Cooper put a straw in one of the glasses and placed it next to Genevieve as he continued, “I was
wondering why Peter would take an interest in Specter Corporation when there were tons of other
companies in Jadeborough. I later found out that he deliberately invested in Specter Corporation
because he knew about you marrying Armand.”
Being a fairly smart woman, Genevieve easily figured out what he was implying. “So, he’s planning on
using you to go after Armand?”
“Correct. In order to consolidate the Faulkner family, Armand’s father married a third wife after becoming
the head of the family. As you know, Cesar later died in a plane crash. Since the higher-ups in Faulkner
Group were on Peter’s side, everyone assumed he should take over the company. However, Old Mrs.
Faulkner said Peter’s old-fashioned management methods simply weren’t suitable for Faulkner Group.
She believed that the company needed innovation, so she ignored their objections and put Armand in
charge instead. With the exception of Samantha, Armand removed all of Peter’s supporters from the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmboard of shareholders after inheriting the company,” Cooper replied while munching on his food.
Genevieve had done some digging on the Faulkner family in order to better understand them, but the
information she managed to find was quite limited.
As such, she gasped in shock when she heard what Cooper said.
Peter had always hated Armand for taking over the company, so the latter mercilessly removing the
former’s supporters only fueled his hatred even further.
Instead of asking Cooper what Peter had told him and how he would go against Armand, Genevieve
simply sipped on her iced lemon tea as she asked, “What about that thing I had you look into? Did you
manage to find any information?”
“I’ve already sent it to you on WhatsApp,” Cooper replied.
Genevieve instantly put her fork down and checked the message on her phone.
Noticing the tiny chunks of carrot in her food, Cooper picked them out and ate them on the spot.
The surrounding employees of Central Group had been eyeing them the whole time, so they were
shocked when they saw what happened.
Timothy happened to be buying lunch in the cafeteria at the time, so he caught sight of Cooper eating
Genevieve’s food.
Huh… How interesting…
Timothy secretly recorded a short clip of it before leaving with his food.
