Chapter 634
Bruce kept ignoring Coco. Perhaps that was why she had been relentless in sending messages and making herself out to be ever so pitiful.
She kept talking about their past, mentioning how he had treated her well. She even highlighted how on one occasion, he had ignored his job, flown overnight to the studio where she was working in, had supper with her, and kept her company all night.
There was also the part where she mentioned how a circctor had bullied her, and he would rather pay for the liquidated damages than let her be cast in the movie.
On top of all that, she claimed that she was too young and immature when they were dating. That was why she had failed to realize how nice he was to her. She insisted she had since Icarned to appreciate him and had kept every gift he had given her, even if said gift was just a random mug.
Genevieve couldn’t help praising Coco inwardly. Yep, she definitely has what it takes to be an award toinning actress. Her acting skills are impeccable.
Coco was trying to get together with Miles and trying to get her ex-boyfriend back at the same time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter reading about everything Bruce had done for Coco in the past, Genevieve became a little jealous. She noticed that Bruce was back, so she tossed his phone back to him.
Her voice was brimming with jealousy when she said, “I really should thank Coco if I run into her someday.”
“Huh? What’s wrong?” asked a confused Bruce.
“After all, you wouldn’t have learned to be that gentle and considerate to your new girlfriend if your ex-girlfriend hadn’t trained you well. There was a notification on WhatsApp. She’s trying to get you to add her to your contact list,” replied Genevieve.
Bruce rarely checked his WhatsApp. After hearing what Genevieve said, he tapped on the app to look at what was going on.
He was utterly speechless when he saw the messages from Coco. Exasperated, he went to “Settings” and blacklisted Coco.
Genevieve caught him doing that. She didn’t really know why, but she was suddenly pacified, so she reminded, “If you do that, you won’t be able to receive any messages from her in the future.
“I don’t care about my past. All I want is to cherish the present,” replied Bruce as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “Everything is fine, as long as I can stay by your side.”
Genevieve tilted her head and looked right into his eyes. Curiosity filled her. “Did Jerry teach you how to flirt? How did you get so good at sweet-talking within such a short time?”
Charlotte had had many boyfriends, and amonu them. Jerry was the most flirtatious One with the best sense of humor.
“Not at all.” replied Bruce sincerely. “I was simply speaking from the bottom of my heart.”
Those words worked wonders and filled Genevicve’s heart with love and warmth. She pulled him closer and kissed him deeply for quite some time before she snuggled up to him and watched a horror movie while snacking.
The show was heavy on the following day.
Genevieve didn’t have any urgent matters to attend to at work, so she stayed in bed.
Bruce had a habit of waking up carly, so he carried Genevieve to the bathroom to let her freshen up. After that, he made breakfast and served it in bed. Genevieve went back to sleep after she had hier breakfast, whereas Bruce made his way to the study to call Steven.
Cooper had been staying in the hospital since the night before, and Steven reported that matter to Bruce.
It seemed Cooper didn’t want to cremate Jane’s body, but he eventually let the people from the funeral house take the body to the crematorium that morning.
There was no news from Xedells Prison, as the people there kept their mouths shut. It seemed a powerful official from Baykeep had told everyone to keep all the information to themselves. Steven guessed that the mysterious official was from the Zeigler family.
Unfortunately, the Zeigler family’s influence in Baykeep was too powerful. Herbert, for an instance, had two sons. One of them was in the military while the other was a politician. Both held immense power.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs such, no one could do anything to Sylvic even though Sylvie was the prime suspect at that moment.
Bruce looked out the window and watched as the snow fell. His tone sounded grim when he said, “If Sylvie’s plan was to con others into doing her dirty job for her, then Xavier should go after Cooper or Genev.”
That hypothesis made sense, since it was Cooper and Armand who had joined forces all those years ago to destroy Wood Group. Now that Armand was “dead,” Cooper was the only one left to kill.
The confusing bit, however, was that Jane was engaged to Xavier but never played a role in that incident. Hence, it didn’t make sense that she was tarreted.
“I am also rather perplexed about this. Why would Xavier go after Ms. Jane?” said Steven who was confused about that as well. “Also, what could Xavier have said to Ms. Jane to get her to go to him of her own volition?”
Bruce knew how smart Jane truly was.
She must‘ve discovered something crucial and happened to know where Xavier was. That was the only explanation as to why she asked for a meeting with him.
Bruce had an inkling of what might’ve happened, but he didn’t share his views. He simply turned
to Steven and ordered, “Investigate the matter and find out who Jane had met up with during that period of time, Xavier is not an idiot. He must know that Sylvic only wanted him to do her dirty work for her. Also, there is no way she would continuously help Xavier evade the cops. At this moment, Xavier is nothing but a liability to her.”
Bruce didn’t say much, but Steven caugh what he was implying right away. The latter replied, “I will come up with a plan to draw Xavier out of hiding.”
