Chapter 845
Armand merely smiled and moved his hand upward to rub her shoulder. “Steven told me about General Zeigler's
food poisoning.”
“What is there to tell?” Genevieve pursed her lips. “Even without you, I won't get bullied.”
The deal she made with Yuvan was to lift Herbert's mood. As for the other members of the Zeigler family, she really
couldn't be bothered with them. If Steven didn't come this afternoon, Old Mr. Zeigler's granddaughter would be the
one in trouble.
Armand noticed how fair her back was, and he couldn't help but kiss it. “Why did you come all the way to Baykeep?
Also, why did you go to the Zeigler residence?”
“Stop kissing me!” Genevieve reached out her hand to push Armand's face away. “I'm not like you, okay? I must

Armand felt terrible when he was reminded of what he had done to Genevieve and the kids.
However, there was nothing he could say. He brushed Genevieve's hair aside and kissed her cheek. “From now on,
just treat me as if I'm a stranger.”
Genevieve abruptly turned around and stare at Armand. “Say that again.”
Armand said in a deep voice, “I have no choice but to replace Robert. Also, I need to take care of Sally. If you stay in
Jadeborough, I won't be able to protect you. I'll get Steven to send you and the kids abroad—”
Before Armand could finish his sentence, Genevieve delivered a tight slap across his face.
While glaring at him, she said, “In the past, you said you owed it to Samuel, right? That was why you needed to take
care of Marilyn. Now, you're telling me that you owe it to Sally. Well? How about me? Don't you owe me anything?”
She understood the fact that Armand was in a difficult situation, so she was willing to let it slide. However, she
couldn't accept what he said.
“Armand, do I owe you anything?” Genevieve asked, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
“You've hurt me, and you were the reason I lost my child. After that, I got pregnant again, and I went abroad
because of you. You knew how frail I was, so it was a big risk for me to give birth. Throughout the five years I spent
in Dartan, you didn't even accompany me or the kids. You owe me far more than the five years! Or do you think
I've just been delusional all this while? Do you think it was purely my decision to fall for you?” she asked.
Immediately, Armand gulped and uttered, “Darling—”
Genevieve took that half a glass of tea and splashed it on Armand's face. “Don't call me that! You disgust me!”
“Leave!” she roared.
Armand wiped the tea off of his eyes and pursed his lips when he saw Genevieve not willing to look at him.
His lips parted, but in the end, he said nothing.
All the while, Steven had been waiting outside the door. When Armand came out of the room, Steven saw that half
of his face was wet and the other half was reddened. Steven then quickly delivered him some tissues.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile walking Armand toward the elevator, Steven couldn't help but ask, “Did Mrs. Faulkner slap you?”
"Yes.”
Steven had suffered all sorts of injuries in his career as a bodyguard. However, he was heartbroken when he saw
the slap mark on Armand's face.
After getting into the elevator, Steven asked softly, “Why don't you just tell Mrs. Faulkner? In fact, Mrs. Faulkner is
stronger than you think, and she doesn't need someone to protect her all the time.”
“Sally is a trained fighter, and she could fight as fiercely as someone in the special forces. Besides, she's smart, and
I might not even beat her. Do you think Genev will be able to handle her?” Armand took the tissues and wiped his
face dry. “I'm not going to put her at risk.”
Steven didn't know how to respond to that. In the end, he merely sighed and said, “What if Mrs. Faulkner really
gives up on you? You know exactly how much Jack loves her.”
Jack was just too lazy to compete with Armand. If he were to show up beside Genevieve and comfort her, there was
a great chance Genevieve would be with him.
