Chapter 1028
Seeing the frosty look on the middle-aged man's face, Genevieve could not help but hold her breath and her tongue
as the man's authoritative air was too intimidating.
About two minutes later, Armand came down and walked over in large strides.
His brows were furrowed, and he looked unwell. When he spotted Genevieve who was standing next to Felix, he was
a little surprised. But gently, he asked, “Genev, what are you doing here?”
“It doesn't matter what she's doing here,” Felix snapped. “Who's in your room?”
Glancing at Genevieve, Armand quickly understood that the woman had come to visit him and had seen something
that made her misunderstand something, which in turn caused Felix to misunderstand him as well.
He beckoned the manager over and had him summon whoever was in the room upstairs.

with Mr. Lewis. Ten minutes ago, Ms. Eurydice Gaudette brought over some documents and some supper. It was Mr.
Lewis who opened the door.”
Despite feeling unwell from his cold, Armand had no choice but to keep working in the hotel room since he had
work to finish after his meeting.
At that time, John Lewis had allowed Eurydice to come in, as it was not polite to chase people away.
Genevieve tried to remember the moment she asked for the hotel room number from the front desk. They had
indeed told her it was a standard room, but she did not take note of that.
I was overthinking! He was not cheating in the first place.
Just then, the manager brought over John, who was staying in the same room as Armand, and Eurydice.
Having learned what had happened, Eurydice said with a smile, “Ms. Rachford, since you're here, you should have
knocked on the door and looked at the truth with your own eyes. That is always better than overthinking by
yourself.”
Genevieve frowned and wanted to say something, but Felix beat her to it.
He said coldly, “Genev doesn't have to do that. As for you, Ms. Gaudette, what document is so important that you
had to deliver it in the middle of the night to a room with two men? If it was something urgent, you could have
asked the hotel staff to send it. It's not like you're delivering the launch codes for nuclear weapons, so why care
about people seeing it?”
Felix knew that Eurydice had an uncommon background, but he could not allow anyone to bully his niece.
The smile on Eurydice's face faded slightly as she uttered, “I was inconsiderate.”
“Being inconsiderate is one thing; Genev's reputation could have been tarnished.” Felix sounded solemn.
“You are beautiful and unmarried, but both Armand and Mr. Lewis are married. Even if they are upright, sending
them documents in the middle of the night may cause people to misunderstand.”
Having been chided by an elder, Eurydice started to feel embarrassed.

Faulkner in a relationship?”
Armand grunted in response. “We've been in a relationship for a long time, but she didn't want to make it public.”
Hearing that, Felix shot Armand a glance, looking rather displeased.
Eurydice had thought that Genevieve was just a substitute for Cali. Little did she know that Genevieve and Armand
were in a relationship and that Felix treated Genevieve as though she was his own daughter.
How did Genevieve get to know Felix anyway?
Once the misunderstanding was resolved, John left with Eurydice.
Felix then dragged Armand to a secluded corner and fumed in a suppressed tone, “Haven't you two been together
for a while now? Why aren't you married yet? Also...”
Turning his head to glance at Genevieve, he continued softly, “Why didn't she address me as Uncle Felix?”
Back when Genevieve had gone to the Zeigler residence to see Herbert, if he had been there, he would have been
delighted to hear her address him as Uncle Felix.
However, when Genevieve saw him that day, she acted as if she did not know him.
