Chapter 18

a pin-drop silence in the car. Genevieve hesitated for a few seconds when she saw a pharmacy that was open for twenty hours daily at the roadside. In the end, she asked Steven to stop the car and went inside to buy some medicine that was good for curing hangovers and a bottle of water. Seeing that Armand was still resting with his eyes closed, Genevieve said softly, “Mr. Faulkner, I bought some medicine for you, and it’s good for curing a hangover.” If it was not for Armand, she would not have the confidence to teach Cooper and Erica a lesson while everyone was watching. She felt very grateful to him. Seeing that Armand did not move, Genevieve thought that she had spoken too softly and so she leaned closer. “Mr. Faulkner…” Just as she was about to speak again, the car that was moving steadily suddenly did a quick turn. Genevieve was caught off guard and crashed into Armand’s chest. She could feel his warm skin underneath his clothes. A few seconds later, Armand’s teasing voice came from above her head. “Do you like throwing yourself into my arms that much?” Genevieve’s face reddened, and she pulled herself away from him frantically. Steven, who was in the driver’s seat, apologized, “Sorry, Mr. Faulkner. There was a car that ran the red light.

It was up to you how you would use it.” As Armand spoke, he paused before continuing, “Previously, you begged me to help you take back Specter Corporation. I’m willing to help.” Genevieve thought of that night when she took the initiative to offer herself but was disdained by the man. Her face reddened instantly. Could it be that he… Armand seemed to see through Genevieve’s thoughts through her expression. He sneered and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in your body.” This time, Genevieve was taken aback instead. “Mr. Faulkner, what… do you want, then?” I don’t have anything to give him. Armand rubbed his fingers on the water bottle and said flatly, “My grandmother is getting old, and she wishes for me to get married and have kids soon. I need you to marry
