Chapter 859
Charlotte put on a pair of gloves and peeled the shrimps skillfully. She said to Genevieve, “Are you free in the
afternoon, Genevieve? How about accompanying me shopping? I'm quite bored since it's pretty boring to shop
alone.”
“Where are your friends?”
At that, Charlotte curled her lips. “They either ask me out to drink or play cards. It's all so boring.”
Accidentally eating a strand of her hair beside her mouth, she uttered to Hector, “Mr. Handsome, please take out
my hairband from my bag and tie my hair up as my hands are dirty. Thank you.”
It so happened that her bag was in the middle of the couch on which they both sat.
Thus, Hector had no choice but to open the Bulgari bag and rummaged for the hairband.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte leaned close to him and turned to him so as to make it more convenient for him to tie her hair.
Genevieve's ruby lips curved into a smirk. She glanced at Johanna beside her, but the latter was grilling leisurely
without paying the slightest mind to whatever the two people opposite her were doing.
“Are you not jealous?” Genevieve queried in a low voice.
“I knew what you wanted to do when you asked Hector to eat with us. So, why should I be jealous?” Furthermore, I
don't have any romantic feelings for him.
As Johanna inadvertently lifted her head, she seemingly caught sight of something, for her eyes narrowed into slits.
Puzzled, Genevieve followed her gaze, only to see the server leading a man and woman their way right ahead.
Coincidentally, the couple was seated at the table in front of them.
Genevieve just had a “friendly” chat with Sally at the coffee shop at a little over ten o'clock, but she unexpectedly
bumped into her again when she went out to have barbeque at noon.
Sally acted as though she didn't see Genevieve, parking herself on the couch.
“Who is she?” Johanna asked Genevieve, perplexed.
Genevieve didn't tell her about Armand having disappeared for a few months and suddenly becoming Robert's
godson, so she had no idea about it.
Lowering her eyes, Genevieve replied mildly while eating a slice of beef. “General Loake's daughter.”
Upon learning about Gerald's rank from her, Johanna sucked in a breath and cast her gaze at Genevieve. “So...
Armand just changed his wifes after getting rich?”
"That's probably it.”
Johanna initially thought that Timothy was more than repugnant, but she then discovered that the latter was only a
bit of a scumbag compared to Armand.
Seeing red, she slammed the fork in her hand on the table and made to shoot to her feet.
Charlotte and Hector, who were chatting opposite her, were both shocked and swung their eyes at her.
Genevieve tugged at her arm hard, still looking as calm as ever. “Why are you angry when I'm not at all irate?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUltimately, we're not her match.”
Naturally, Johanna knew that the whole of Jadeborough was Sally's family's territory, considering her family
background. Her face flushed bright red with rage, but she stopped struggling to get to her feet.
The two of them talked in hushed tones, so Charlotte and Hector didn't hear them.
Mistakenly assuming that Johanna was livid because she chatted with Hector, Charlotte clarified with a shrug, “My
hands were dirty, so I had Mr. Lee help to tie my hair. Is even that not permissible?”
“How gentlemanly of him! Jojo naturally won't be mad because of that.” Genevieve chortled.
She then stole a peek at Sally at the table in front before propping her hands against her cheeks and excitedly
exclaiming, “Charlotte, there must be quite a number of outstanding men in your circle, yes? Introduce one to me!”
However, Charlotte couldn't fathom her sudden interest. “Why would you still need me to introduce a man to you
when you're so beautiful and have a ton of suitors?”
“When have you ever seen anyone pursuing me?” Genevieve countered.
Frowning, Charlotte pondered for a moment. “The men in my circle are only interested in the physical side of a
relationship, so they're not your cup of tea. But there's a high-end blind date event this Saturday, attended by elites
from various industries. Are you interested in going for a look?”
