NovelOnlineArmand treated Samantha with great respect since she was Harriet’s favorite daughter.
That day, however, Samantha could feel Armand’s murderous intent.
She scoffed, pulled the chair beside her out, and sat in it. “Armand, I’m not just your biological aunt. If I
hadn’t supported you back then, do you think you could be in charge of the Faulkner family? What
now? Are you going to have a falling out with me because of an irrelevant woman?”
“She’s not an irrelevant woman. She’s my wife,” Armand repeated calmly. “Aunt Samantha, I know you
have a grudge against the Sutton family. I won’t get involved no matter what you do to Cooper, but you
must never mess with her.”
When Samantha heard Armand mentioning the Sutton family, her expression darkened, and the corner
of her eyes twitched. “If it wasn’t for Mom, you wouldn’t be so successful today,” Samantha said.
“Genevieve was the only person in the study when Mom died. Yet, you told the police to withdraw all
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe accusations against Genevieve. Even the news was suppressed. Is your grandma’s death less
important than that woman?”
Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette box, Armand placed it between his lips. “Aunt Samantha,
you’re a resourceful person. You’ve planted so many spies in the Faulkner residence. Don’t you know
how Grandma died? Ever since George died, his son, Xavier, took charge of the Wood family and
quickly stabilized Wood Group. If I remember correctly, Uncle Peter’s daughter, Jane Faulker, was
already dating Xavier long ago. In fact, they got engaged at the end of the year.”
He took a puff of his cigarette and stared calmly at the woman in front of him. “Aunt Samantha, what
will the Wood family think if you stir up such news now?”
Samantha knew her nephew was a smart one. Hence, she did not find it odd that he knew about so
many things.
On the day Harriet died, Samantha had received a call from her spy. She found out that Marilyn had
entered the study to look for Harriet earlier that day. Thus, the latter’s death must have something to do
with Marilyn.
Even so, Marilyn was smart enough to make Genevieve the scapegoat.
Coincidentally, Samantha had a grudge against Genevieve. Hence, she worked with the Wood family
to spread the news about Harriet’s death, wanting to use the opportunity to send Genevieve to jail.
To Samantha’s surprise, Armand suppressed all the news, and Genevieve even kidnapped her driver.
The thought of Genevieve calling her earlier and the tone she had used made Samantha’s eyes
darken. “If Genevieve is not related to Cooper, I’d never have caused her any trouble. But she was
married to Cooper in the past. Hence, I’ll never let anyone associated with the Sutton family or Cooper
off the hook easily. Armand, if you divorce Genevieve, I’ll pretend this never happened today.”
Samantha stared at Armand with intense intimidation.
Armand was unfazed by her threat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe tapped the cigarette against the ashtray. “Genevieve is my wife. Whatever she tells you is also from
me. If you disrespect her, then you’re disrespecting me, too.”
Samantha was livid, and she immediately pushed away her chair before shooting to her feet.
“So, you’re trying to make things ugly between us? Very well!” Samantha slammed her palms on the
table and leaned toward Armand. “I can build you up, but I can also tear you down.”
Armand smirked. “Sure. I’ll be looking forward to it.”
“Armand, you’d better not regret it,” Samantha said coldly.
As she walked toward the door in her high heels, she turned around and gave him one last look. “I’d
like to see how long you can keep protecting Genevieve.”
After Samantha slammed the door shut and left, Armand’s gaze turned grim.
He threw his cigarette into the ashtray and demanded Steven enter his office using the internal line.
“Samantha has fallen out with me, so she’ll join Peter’s side to get back at me.”
Armand’s tone was calm, but Steven froze after hearing the former’s words.
He did not understand how things could turn ugly between Samantha and Armand in such a short
while.
