“No,” Genevieve flatly denied.
Her gaze dimmed at the thought of that video on Cooper‘s phone. At the same time, the ache she felt
in her chest area also subsided a lot.
Just as she was about to say something to chase Jack out of the bathroom, Rosa knocked on the door
and asked carefully, “Ms. Rachford, are you showering? Do you need my help?”
“Yes. Please come in,” Genevieve hurriedly answered.
It was after heading in that Rosa realized Jack was also inside. Despite a distance away, the man‘s
displeasure was so overwhelming she felt her scalp tingle. “Mr. Valentine, since I‘ll be taking care of
Ms. Rachford in the future, let me help her instead.”
Jack fixed his gaze on Genevieve for a long while before he stood up and headed outside the
bathroom.
After he left, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was only about nine when Genevieve finished with the shower. As she wasn‘t sleepy yet, she
decided to make a video call to Amanda. Catching a glimpse of how adorable the latter looked as she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad just woken up from her sleep, she felt warmth in her heart.
While putting on her clothes, Amanda asked, “It‘s been a long time since Mr. Valentine came back
here. Has he been with you, Mommy?”
“Mmm–hmm.”
Amanda picked up the phone and stared at the screen intently with her clear round eyes. “Mommy, so
are
you living together with Mr. Valentine?”
“No. He‘s just staying at my place for the time being,” Genevieve uttered.
Amanda grunted an affirmative reply.
After a short yet sweet interaction, Genevieve concluded the call and signed into Jane‘s email. Inside,
she spotted several new year‘s greetings sent by some brands quite some time ago.
At the mere thought of the email she had sent Cooper, she felt a pang of awful feeling surge within her.
Genevieve was spacing out though her eyes remained fixed on the
screen. Moments later, as though she was reminded of something, she tried to access Jane‘s Apple ID
with the latter‘s email and password. Surprisingly, she logged in
successfully.
Jane‘s photo gallery had numerous photos and videos, but almost all of them were of the two kids.
There were also photos of Cooper‘s side profile which she had taken while the former was driving.
In the memo, there was a short paragraph: So I‘ve struggled to stay alive because I will chance upon the opportunity to meet him someday–he who will love me, care for me, and let me know what happiness means.
When Genevieve exited the app, she spotted the voice memo app below and instinctively clicked it.
Inside, there was a voice recording.
It was recorded on December twenty fifth last year.
Taking a deep breath, Genevieve
clicked on that recording with her trembling hand.
When the recording finished playing, she was visibly in a trance. It took her a long while before she
recovered and pushed herself out of the bedroom in her wheelchair.
She headed into the study, where she saw Jack there. “You knew Sylvie isn‘t Old Mr. Zeigler‘s
biological granddaughter; why did you help her cover the truth?” she spat through clenched teeth.
Jack hung up a business call he was engaged in and turned around to look at Genevieve.
With a grim expression, she clicked on that recording and played it for Jack. “Jane recorded this before
she died. I’ve always been baffled how Sylvie did it so flawlessly...
I can‘t believe the one who has been helping Sylvie from behind would turn out to be Jack. So, the boss behind Zecler, Baykeep‘s famous DNA–testing center, is Jack. No wonder Sylvie didn‘t seem to be in fear at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn contrast to the furious and devastated Genevieve, Jack appeared calm and collected. “Sylvie wanted
fame, and I gave it to her. I don‘t like Armand, and coincidence or not, she also harbors a grudge
toward him. I merely made use of her to help me deal with Armand. It works out perfectly.”
“You promised you won‘t touch him.”
“Yes, and I didn‘t.” A faint smirk crept up Jack‘s face as he rested his hands on the desk. “Sylvie was
the one who destroyed Central Group and indirectly caused Armand‘s death.”
“But you‘re the one helping her from
behind.” Genevieve‘s expression was solemn. “If it hadn‘t been for you, all of this wouldn‘t have
happened. And Armand wouldn‘t have died either!”
Jack scowled in response.
Walking up to Genevieve, he grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. “So what if I helped
Sylvie so that she would help me kill Armand? Cesar owed my mom too much. Not just his parents and
wife; even if I kill everyone from the Faulkner family, it will never satisfy me. Because of you, I showed
mercy on all of the kids of the Faulkner family, including Armand. But what did you give me?”
With his other hand, he pointed at Genevieve‘s chest while narrowing his eyes. “You lost the bet. You
said you would marry me and stay by my side for the rest of your life. But you didn‘t fulfill your
promises. Genev, are you really that selfish? Not only did you
make me sacrifice for you, but you also had sex with another man. Yet, you expect me to keep to my
word?”
