Chapter 856
Then, Lucian stood up and tossed the tissue into the trash can. “Some of the coffee stains have already penetrated
into the shoe and can't be wiped off anymore.”
Lifting his head, he said to Genevieve, “Mommy, give this lady some money to buy a pair of new shoes.”
The urge to hug her son and give him a hearty smacker gripped Genevieve in gratitude for his timely arrival and
defense of her dignity.
She took out a thick stack of bills from her bag and slid it over to Sally.
Meanwhile, Sally's expression gradually darkened at the derailment of her plan.
Without even sparing the stack of bills a glance, she got to her feet. “Genevieve, you're not my match in all aspects,
so don't displease me anymore. If you dare get all intimate again with the man I fancy, bankrupting Specter
Corporation is the least I’ll do!”
Before Genevieve could respond, Lucian flashed Sally an adorable smile. “It's only a man, miss. Just take him if you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso wish to do so. My mommy doesn't give a fig when there are tons of men yearning to be her husband. But miss, if
you make my mommy cry in the future. I'll be settling the score with you.”
His voice was childlike, but his eyes were jet-black, and he was exceedingly serious as he spoke.
Thus, Sally had no doubt he would take revenge on her if she were to cause Genevieve to shed tears.
Sneering, she whipped out a wedding invitation from her bag and placed it on the table. “Do come with your
children at that time.”
Subsequently, she strode past Genevieve and Lucian before leaving the coffee shop.
Genevieve opened the envelope and took out a red wedding invitation. It was stated clearly on the wedding
invitation that Armand and Sally were getting married at a hotel on 1st October.
Glimpsing the contents of the wedding invitation, Lucian frowned. “Daddy is going a little overboard.”
I read the letter he wrote back then, so I knew he had no choice but to leave us. But he's going to marry another
woman in a few months. Not only is he hurting us, but he's also hurting Mommy badly.
“Is he just going a little overboard?” With a snort, Genevieve chucked the wedding invitation into the trash can.
Bending down, she cradled her son's face and planted two smackers on him. “You're really my darling son, Lucian!
If it weren't for you, I would've lost my dignity today.”
Lucian's face almost went out of shape from her kneading. After expending much effort, he finally managed to
break free.
He went to the counter and got his coffee before leaving the coffee shop with Genevieve. When they had gotten
into the car, he couldn't help asking, “What exactly is going on, Mommy?”
“Your father said he wants to take care of Sally and told me to regard him as a stranger when I bump into him in
the future. As you can see, he's going to marry Sally,” Genevieve answered calmly while driving.
Sally's sabotage of Specter Corporation and their conversation that day enlightened her of Armand's intentions.
It was because he knew that Sally wasn't one to be messed with that he wanted me to regard him as a stranger.
But I'm really irate that he said he wanted to take care of her nor can I understand that either!
Following that, Lucian snagged Genevieve's phone. “I'll give Daddy a call to clarify things.”
“What's the use of that? Besides, I don't have his number.” Pursing her lips, Genevieve added, “I can only relent
when Sally is blackmailing me with Specter Corporation.”
Lucian put down the phone and lowered his eyes, seemingly in contemplation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon arriving at Johanna's place, Genevieve glanced at her phone, only to see a WhatsApp message from her
secretary half an hour ago.
After being interrogated, Mildred admitted to hounding Rachel for money incessantly and even verbally abusing
her. Coupled with the surveillance footage, it was proven that Rachel's suicide was linked to her indirectly. As such,
she would be convicted.
The company swiftly spread the news to the public by posting it on Twitter. As news of Rachel's suicide slowly
subsided, the company's reputation rebounded slightly.
Although the production company was spared, Genevieve's heart remained heavy.
Specter Corporation's branch office in Mysonna was still under investigation due to Sally's interference, and she
didn't quite know how to settle that.
When she saw that the housekeeper had already opened the door, she dismissed all those troubles for the time
being.
As she stepped into the house with Lucian, she was greeted by the sight of a young and handsome man playing
with Asel in the living room.
In a whisper, Lucian explained, “This is the man who's pursuing Aunt Jojo. His name is Hector Lee, and he's Aunt
Jojo's business partner.”
