Chapter 922
“I've been keeping that to buy you clothes.” Armand lowered his head and kissed Genevieve. Next, he took her
hand and carried the shopping bags on the couch with his other hand.
Genevieve pulled her hand out from his. “Wait for me here. The restroom on this floor is not far away. I need to
touch up my makeup.”
In the meantime, a woman wearing a baseball cap was leaning against the wall outside the restroom, scrolling
through her phone.
Right after Genevieve entered the restroom, the woman followed behind her.
When Genevieve stepped out of one of the cubicles moments later, she saw the woman in a cap standing in front
of a washbasin, wiping the water from her hands with a tissue.
Without paying much attention to her, Genevieve turned on the tap to wash her hands.
At that moment, the woman rummaged through her bag and whipped out a stun gun. She turned it on swiftly and

It never came across Genevieve's mind that the woman would inflict any harm on her. She felt the twitching pain in
her bones as a strong electric current flowed through her entire body. The excruciating pain numbed her senses,
and she could not even let out a groan. In just two seconds, she collapsed to the ground and passed out.
A panic-stricken Faith instinctively took a few steps back when Genevieve collapsed. Her hands trembled
uncontrollably in fear.
After what seemed like an eternity, she slowly squatted next to Genevieve and placed a finger below her nose.
When she sensed that Genevieve was still breathing, she turned on the stun gun and attempted to jab the latter's
arm once more.
All of a sudden, someone behind Faith gripped her wrist and twisted it. In order to prevent Faith from screaming,
the person behind her stretched out another hand to cover her mouth.
The woman turned out to be Sally. Her hands were callused from holding guns, and the unusual frigidness from her
fingers sent a shiver down Faith's spine, causing her to shudder all over.
Sally clasped Faith's hands and pinned them on her back effortlessly with two simple moves. Subsequently, she
pressed Faith down on the floor and rendered her immobile.
Later, Sally lifted Faith's short sleeves, only to find both of the latter's arms fair and smooth. She did not spot
anything that she expected to see.
Narrowing her eyes, Sally bent down and questioned Faith, “Who sent you?”
However, Faith remained tight-lipped, refusing to utter any words.
Sally made a phone call. “Come to the lady's restroom now. Genevieve is unconscious.”
Armand rushed over in scarcely one minute. His face turned grim instantly at the sight of Sally pinning Faith down,
the stun gun on the ground, and Genevieve lying unconscious.
Without a second thought, he scooped Genevieve up from the ground and instructed Sally to take Faith with them
to the hospital.
The doctor told Armand that Genevieve could have met her end if she were incapacitated another time by the stun
gun. Apparently, the one that Faith used had a high electric voltage and was already banned more than a decade
ago. Those with heart problems could have died tragically on the spot with one strike.
Armand stayed by Genevieve's side in the ward. He finally heaved a sigh of relief when her face gradually reverted

Herbert called him and asked, “It's almost six now. Why are you and Genev not back yet?”
“Genev is not feeling well, so I took her to the hospital. Take your dinner first and don't wait for us.” Armand didn't
tell Herbert about the incident, fearing that the latter would not be able to take it.
After reassuring Herbert with white lies, Armand made another two calls before heading to the ward next to
Genevieve's.
He strode toward Faith, who was tied to a chair, and slapped her. Her body tilted to one side from the forceful
impact before falling to the ground along with the chair.
Sally walked over and pulled Faith back up with only one hand.
She knew that Armand was not a man who would easily lose self-control. In fact, he would never take matters into
his own hands when teaching a woman a lesson. Thus, his action of giving Faith a hard slap implied he had lost
control of himself.
Sally stated placidly, “She didn't say anything.”
Wearing a look of sheer grimness, Armand scowled at Faith. “Even if she refuses to open her mouth, I'm fully aware
of everything. I know she's Zayne Zeigler's ex-classmate. I already called her father and Cyrus Zeigler just now.”
Faith looked up and glowered at Armand. “It's solely my idea to kill Genevieve. You can do anything you want to me,
but don't touch my dad. This has nothing to do with him!”
