Chapter 451 Wait For Armand To Say It
The next day, news of Central Group’s CEO spending the night with a celebrity at a hotel was all over
Twitter’s trending page. Armand’s indirect support for Sylvie had helped distract people from her recent
negative media coverage. Johanna, who had seen the news early in the morning, went to see
Genevieve in her office the moment she arrived. “What on earth is Mr. Faulkner doing? You’ve only just
taught Sylvie a lesson a few days ago, and now the two of them are on the Trending page! Is he trying
to whitewash her or something?” Noticing no response from Genevieve, Johanna tapped on her desk
and asked, “Hey! Did you hear what I just said?” “Yes, I did. I may have taught Sylvie a lesson, but she
is still working for Genevieve Orsi. If anything, I should be thanking Mr. Faulkner for saving my
company the money to protect Sylvie’s image,” Genevieve replied while keeping her eyes on the

with another woman!
The fact that Mr. Faulkner hasn’t addressed the rumor means it’s most likely true! Shouldn’t you be
mad at him?” Genevieve placed her pen down and looked up at Johanna. “Why would I be mad? He
has the right to marry any woman he likes. I’ll lose the bet if I go confront him about it.” Her bet with
Jack was whether Armand still loved her after so many years. However, she wasn’t allowed to do
anything except wait for Armand to confess his love for her. Johanna let out a sigh after a brief pause
and said, “You shouldn’t have come back, Genev. Life was a lot better for you in Dartan.” “I was the one
who made this decision. Regretting won’t do me any good.” Genevieve took a sip of her coffee. “My
private investigator gave me a call last night. I had him investigate what happened to Charice, and he
told me that she might still be alive.” “What?” Johanna stared wide-eyed at her in shock. “The private
investigator has a friend in Holton Hospital who’s really close with the guys managing the archives. His
friend obtained Charice’s death certificate and found out that her information on the certificate is
different from the one on her medical records. I went to Baykeep a while back to visit the housekeeper
who worked for Charice. She showed me lots of photos of her. I sent two of them to the private
investigator. According to him, the person in the post-mortem photographs looked quite different,”
Genevieve explained. She had told Johanna that Jack’s mother had been in a car accident when they
were at the cafe the other day. “Do you think Charice deliberately messed up the corpse’s face so Jack
would think she’s dead?” Johanna asked.
Genevieve nodded. “It’s possible.” “In that case…” Johanna stared at Genevieve and continued after a
brief pause, “Does this mean the car accident wasn’t actually an accident? Why would Charice do such
a thing?” Genevieve told Johanna about the conversation she had with the housekeeper. “Charice
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthinks Cesar cheated on her, so she kept hating him even after she was overseas. Charice told Jack
about Cesar, then faked her death so Jack would help avenge her.” Johanna rubbed her chin as she
said, “Cesar’s wives have all died at Jack’s hand, right? I hear Jack is the one truly in charge of
Faulkner Group right now. If Charice has been secretly observing her son this whole time, then she
should know that he has already avenged her. Why hasn’t she shown herself yet?” Genevieve shook
her head. “I have no idea.”
“I’m curious as to what exactly happened between Cesar and Charice. If Cesar didn’t love her, then
why would she fake her death to fool Old Mr. Faulkner? If Cesar loved her, why would he let her stay
overseas by herself for so long?” Genevieve let out a huge sigh. “The Faulkner family is keeping a
really tight lid on this, so nobody knows that for sure. On top of that, Isabella died four years ago.” She
had been investigating that for many years but to no avail. For some reason, Johanna burst out
laughing after staring at Genevieve for a few seconds. “What’s so funny?” Genevieve asked in
confusion.
