NovelAppChapter 454 I Will Not Do Anything Inappropriate “Genevieve? Didn’t you settle down in Dartan? When did you come back?” Landon Lebon asked with a
smile. “A while back. I attended the charity event hosted by Central Group when I came back,”
Genevieve replied. D*mn, I was not expecting Jan’s guest to be Central Group’s largest shareholder!
“Ah, it’s no wonder I didn’t know about your return. I happened to be on a business trip in Saintnam at
the time,” Landon said. Noticing that Genevieve was about to leave, Landon motioned at her to wait for
him. “My meeting with Mr. Wasco won’t take long. Let’s have lunch together.” Genevieve frowned when
she heard that. Landon had helped her out during Central Group’s shareholders’ meeting a long time
ago, but the two of them had only met twice so far, so they weren’t exactly close.
Even so, Genevieve could only say yes and wait in a conference room, as she didn’t dare reject his
invitation. The deal seemed to have gone well, as Jan and Landon had smiles on their faces when they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtleft the office about forty minutes later. Jan then treated the two of them to a meal at Golden
Restaurant. Like an elder in the family, Landon was very gentle when speaking to Genevieve. He
ordered a glass of wine for himself and Jan but got Genevieve some fruit juice instead. “Hey, Mr.
Lebon! I know you’re very close with Mr. Faulkner because you’re Central Group’s largest shareholder,
so I can understand your intention to protect Ms. Rachford. However, there’s really no need to go this
far. I’m not a bad guy, okay?” Jan said jokingly. “Don’t say that, Mr. Wasco! I can have wine too if that’s
what you’d like!” Genevieve said with a chuckle. Jan and Landon burst out laughing when they heard
that. Halfway through the meal, Landon turned to look at Genevieve and said, “Armand and I have
been business partners since he founded Central Group. While I can’t say I know him like the back of
my hand, I have never seen him treat another woman so well.” “Is that so?”
Genevieve asked with a chuckle. Landon nodded. “He met up with us shareholders in private before
that car accident. He said he wanted us to take your side if something were to happen to him. Of
course, everyone objected to his request, myself included. It is a really huge company, so we didn’t
want him calling all the shots like that. However, he trusted you a lot and even signed a contract with
us.” He then paused for a moment as he contemplated whether to disclose the contents of that
contract. After giving it some thought, he decided not to and continued with a sigh, “Businessmen like
me and Mr. Wasco would be lying if we said we weren’t hungry for wealth and power. Neither of us
would ever hand our company over to someone else like that. Genevieve, you really shouldn’t give up
on a man who treats you this well.” Genevieve knew that Armand had arranged for Landon and the
others to take her side, but she didn’t expect things to be so complicated. What other things has he
done for me behind my back?
Genevieve was so distracted by her thoughts that she couldn’t even focus on her conversation with Jan
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand Landon during lunch. While excusing herself to the restroom, she received a text message from
Jermaine: I’ve checked with the private hospitals in Jadeborough. Sylvie has never been to any of
them. However, she did visit the gynecologist at General Hospital last month due to irregular periods.
She had an examination and was prescribed some medication, but that was it. Therefore, it’s
impossible for her to be pregnant. Of course, Genevieve knew that Sylvie wasn’t pregnant simply by
calculating the dates, but receiving confirmation from Jermaine made her feel a lot better. Genevieve
was about to return to the private room when she saw Armand entering the one next to hers with a few
other men. She quickly ran up to him and greeted him, “Hi, Mr. Faulkner! Are you having lunch here
too?”
Armand paused in his tracks and stared at her in response. The other men quickly entered the private
room upon seeing Genevieve, leaving the two of them in the corridor. “Is there something I can help
you with, Ms. Rachford?” Armand asked. Genevieve nodded. “Yes, there is.” Noticing the security
cameras on the wall, she opened the door to her private room and said, “It’s a little inconvenient to talk
about it here, though. Please come in.” Seeing as he refused to budge, Genevieve arched an eyebrow
at him. “This is a restaurant, Mr. Faulkner. I’m not going to do anything inappropriate.”
