Chapter 256 How Can This Be
Afraid that the media reporters would not believe her, Mirrin Pinkard even revealed the name of the
private hospital where she had delivered her baby, the one and only photo she had with her baby, and
the record of her transaction with Isabella Rudler.
Those pieces of solid evidence stunned the rest of the world.
After all, who would have thought that the Faulkner family, one of the four prestigious families of Xedells,
would have a scandal like that?
Genevieve was rendered speechless for a long time by the two clips that did not even last five minutes in
total.
Armand isn’t the Faulkner family’s child? How can that be?
A long while later, Genevieve turned to look at Steven, who was standing at the side.
“I just saw someone say that Armand isn’t the Faulkner family’s child. A woman who seems like his
biological mother came out to tell the media that Armand is a child she had with her client. She even
revealed the name of the hospital where she delivered the baby… Is this true, Steven?” Genevieve

“It’s true,” Steven told her with a nod. “Mr. Faulkner has known about this since a long time ago. He has
used Isabella’s hair for a test, and he has found out that the two are not related by blood.”
“I’m guessing that Peter and the others know this before the news spread,” Genevieve mumbled as she
thought about the demeanor Peter and the others had after they went to the operating room. “That’s why
they seem so indifferent when they found out that Armand needed a blood transfusion and even after
finding out that Armand can’t wake. It’s because they know Armand’s not a Faulkner.”
When they learned that an escort’s son had gained control over the Faulkner family and Faulkner Group,
they were resentful. They badly wanted to get the Faulkner family back from him.
Armand did not have the same blood as theirs running in his veins, so they would rather have him die as
early as possible.
“Yes.” Steven nodded again.
He then turned to look at the man on the bed and whispered, “Mr. Faulkner defended Marilyn despite her
various attempts to take your life. Did you think that it was because Mr. Faulkner still had feelings for
her? The answer is actually no. It’s because Mr. Samuel was the one who found out that Mr. Faulkner
isn’t a real Faulkner. Not only did Mr. Samuel find out that Mr. Faulkner’s mother was an escort, but he
even found out that Isabella was the one who orchestrated his father’s aviation accident.”
“What?” Genevieve blurted out in shock.
In the next few minutes, Genevieve found out from Steven about certain matters between Armand and
Samuel.
She also learned about why Armand had that bullet wound on him.
Even though Samuel and Armand did not have the same mother, the two were close to each other since
young. It was as if the two were not half-brothers, but at the end of the day, the Faulkner family was too
big.
Cesar Faulkner had three wives and numerous children. Each of his wives was scheming to get better
things for their families.
His first wife gave birth to three sons, but her youngest son became intellectually stunted after an
episode of high fever. From then on, he had been living in a sanatorium. As her eldest son was not

proficient in business, Cesar’s first wife placed all her hope on her third son, Samuel.
Back then, Cesar was biased toward Armand. He was raising Armand as his heir.
Naturally, Cesar’s first wife would not accept that. She coerced Samuel to set Armand up. That explosion
fractured all of Armand’s bones and nearly blinded him permanently. Later on, regretful about what he
had done, Samuel did everything he could to make up to Armand. He even secretly transferred all of his
shares of Faulkner Group to Armand.
After that, the company that Armand established—Central Group—did fantastically, so he ended up
spending most of his time at Jadeborough, rarely returning to Xedells.
When Samuel found out that his father’s death had not been an accident but was manmade, he followed
up on the clues and found that Isabella could not bear children. At the same time, he found out that
Armand was a child that she had brought into the family to secure her position and Armand’s biological
mother’s identity.
When Cesar’s first wife discovered that Samuel had given all of his Faulkner Group’s shares to Armand,
she was livid. She sent men to secretly alter Armand’s car. When Samuel found out about that, he went
to Armand and exchanged his car with his.
Before he died, Samuel told Armand all of his findings from his investigation and asked him to keep
Marilyn safe.
