NovelAppChapter 365 The minute the man walked in,
The enthusiasm in the private room died down almost instantly. Upon noticing Armand in the room,
Johanna pressed Genevieve’s head on her shoulder and said, “Hey, Mr. Faulkner! See, Genev is kinda
drunk now because she kept toasting the birthday boy earlier.
You should bring her home now!”. Johanna’s remark rendered Genevieve speechless. Genevieve
finally understood why Johanna had made her drink so much.
Armand turned around and walked toward Johanna.
He glanced at the table and saw the empty glasses on the table. His expression turned grim when he
turned his attention to Genevieve, who was resting her head on Johanna’s shoulder.
“Who gave you the permission to bring her here?” The man’s sidelong glance sent a chill down
Johanna’s spine. She shrugged her shoulder and responded with an innocent look,

She then shoved Genevieve into Armand’s arm. “You can have your wife back.” Genevieve played
along and pretended to be tipsy. She leaned on his chest and snuggled up to him.
Armand lowered his head to look at her, and the hard gleam in his eyes softened. He pointed at
Genevieve’s coat and bag on the couch.
Johanna quickly picked them up and handed them over to the man. After covering Genevieve with her
coat, Armand carried her in his arms and left the private room.
Tension was high when Armand walked in earlier, but everyone sighed a breath of relief when he left
with Genevieve. What a scary man Mr. Faulkner is.
They could all feel the aloofness coming off of him. Johanna reached out for the cocktail in Jermaine’s
hand and chugged it. “Let me drink this on behalf of Genev.
Happy birthday, Dr. Sitler!” Upon hearing that, Jermaine, whose eyes were fixated on the door, came to
his senses and responded with a faint smile, “Thanks.” “Well, it’s almost midnight. I should go now. I’m
working the morning shift tomorrow.”
Timothy stubbed out the cigarette in an ashtray and stood up from the couch. Before leaving, he looked
at Johanna and said, “Come with me. I’ll send you home.”
Johanna rolled her eyes at him. “You’re drunk, yet you still wanna drive me home? Should I send you
to the police station right away?” After removing her coat from the rack, Johanna waved at Jermaine
and the others and grinned.
“Bye, guys! Hope to drink with you guys soon!” “Sure!” Everyone chuckled as they were all fond of
Johanna’s entertaining personality.
Stepping out of the room, Timothy placed his hand on Johanna’s shoulder.
“I thought you’ve wanted to be Genev’s wifey? Why did you ask me to call her husband over?”
“Well, there’s nothing I could do as long as Mr. Faulkner is alive.” Johanna said. “And since he’s still

“What happened?” Timothy was surprised to hear that. Johanna sighed and asked, “Mr. Faulkner had
never visited Genev during her one-month stay in the hospital.
Did you not notice?” “Nope. I was busy with work,” Timothy said. “But why aren’t they talking to each
other?” “It’s all because of the stabbing…” Johanna explained everything to Timothy while leaving the
karaoke bar.
She told him what Genevieve did and why Armand was mad at her. Johanna could not help but
complain, “Mr. Faulkner is even more heartless than a woman. It’s like he doesn’t know when to stop.”
Timothy chuckled in silence. Before this, he had chatted with Armand and was impressed with all the
things Armand would do to win a woman’s heart.
Armand must have known Genevieve through and through. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the courage to
make this move.
What a sly man!
