Chapter 991

Unfortunately, Cooper had to make Genevieve believe the act, so he pushed his anger down. Exasperated, he

turned to Genevieve and said, “It's as you see, Genev. She is the one I love and the only one I will marry.”

Cooper turned his attention to Armand after that. “It's late. Mr. Faulkner, please help me take Genev home.”

Armand murmured an affirmative reply before heading over to grab Genevieve's bag and lead her out of the room.

Cooper waited until Armand and Genevieve had left before he dropped his smile and picked up the cutlery on the

table. “I already have dinner, so you can take everything you brought with you and leave.” He paused for a

moment before mercilessly adding, “Also, please never visit again.”

Sally pulled up a chair and sat down before crossing her legs and leaning back. “I just did you a favor, and this is

how you repay me? By chasing me away?”

Cooper grabbed the bowl of soup and kept sipping away. It was as though he were pretending that she wasn't

there.

Sally saw the half-peeled apple on the table, so she picked it up and continued peeling it.

Her gaze was aimed downward, and her voice was stoic when she said, “My aim and gunmanship are on point. The

bullet I fired wouldn't have missed my target's head, so I can say for sure that I'm not the one who shot you.”

“You may not be the one who shot me, but you are still the one who fired first,” growled Cooper as he slammed his

bowl of soup onto the table. He had a scowl on the entire time he spoke.

The situation at the time had everyone on edge, so no one dared to make the first move. However, Sally, who was

hidden in the shadows, had fired her gun.

If Harry hadn't dashed forward, Genevieve would've been dead.

Sally replied, “Even if I wasn't the one who shot first, Zephyr would still kill everyone after grabbing those

diamonds.”

Cooper was too tired to listen to her excuses, so he grinned evilly. “Armand wasn't there at the time, so he doesn't

know the specifics of what happened. What do you think will happen to the Loake family if he were to discover

those details? You killed the President of the Carlo family, so in a way, you have avenged Ethan's death. That means

I'm no longer your tool and am free to share whatever information I want with whomever I want.”

Cooper had only struck a deal with Sally to protect Genevieve. That was why he had volunteered to be the bait.

He also thought that Zephyr wasn't dumb enough to come all the way to Chanaea to hurt Genevieve. It simply

didn't make any sense. After all, Zephyr knew just how powerful Genevieve's maternal family and Armand were.

“I have never seen you as a tool,” said Sally as she placed the peeled apple she had cut on a plate.

“Oh, then what are we? F*ck buddies?” said Cooper as he looked right at Sally's beautiful face. He narrowed his

eyes and sneered. “Ms. Loake, your family is powerful, but I'm not interested in being your man. If you miss Ethan

that much, may I suggest finding someone who looks similar to him? You can get the guy to do plastic surgery so he

would look exactly like Ethan.

That way, you can have Ethan back.”

Jane's death had killed whatever little capacity Cooper had left in his heart for love. At that moment, he was done

with love and didn't want to waste his time on another woman again.

He would settle for a future where all he had to do was to protect Specter Corporation and Genevieve.

Genevieve didn't come around until she was inside the elevator. She frowned and said, “Wait a minute, why should I

leave? She's the one who's snatching my man.”

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't I be so furious that I slap that woman across her face or something? Why

did I leave just like that?

It was also at that moment she realized her hand was a little warm. When she shifted her gaze to it, she saw

Armand holding her hand.

The realization prompted her to extract her hand from his grip. She could still feel the warmth from his palm, and it

felt weird. Not quite knowing what to do with her hand, she reached out and pressed the button on the elevator.

Armand double-tapped the same button, canceling the command for the elevator to head back up and allowing it

to continue moving to the underground parking lot.

“What are you doing? I want to head back there to teach that homewrecker a lesson,” complained Genevieve.

“You can do that the next time you run into her,” replied Armand. “You don't like the pungent smell of disinfectants

in the hospital, anyway.”

The inpatient department had many long-term patients who had to stay there to receive treatment. Hence, the

smell of disinfectant was heavier there. It also reeked of different medications, so Genevieve did feel rather

uncomfortable there.

They had stayed in Cooper's room for quite some time before they left, so the scent of disinfectants lingered on

them.

Armand fished a small tin box out of his pocket. He got two pieces of candy out of it and handed them to

Genevieve. She hesitated for a moment before accepting them.

When she popped them into her mouth, she realized they were cherry blossom-flavored candies that were sweet

and fragrant.

The discomfort Genevieve felt faded when those candies melted in her mouth. Curious, she asked, “Have I ever told

you that I dislike the smell of disinfectants?”
