Chapter 271 What Do You Think
After the press conference, the video about Genevieve’s interview quickly spread across the internet.
Apart from Genevieve’s relationship with Armand, everyone also knew that the shareholders voted for
Genevieve to be the new CEO of Central Group. As such, Genevieve would temporarily manage the
company on Armand’s behalf.
The netizens generally believed that electing Genevieve’s signaled the downfall of Central Group.
Nonetheless, all of them were touched by the words she said toward the end of the video.
The readers learned from news reports that Peter and Samantha attended the shareholders’ meeting,
claiming they did everything for Central Group. It turned out that Peter wished to become the CEO of
Central Group. Later, the reporters also revealed that the shareholders’ meeting of Faulkner Group was
held without informing Armand’s wife, Genevieve. In other words, the shareholders secretly voted for
Samantha to take control of Faulkner Group.
Although Armand wasn’t blood-related to the Faulkner family, everyone knew he devoted himself to the
family.
At the same time, Peter and Samantha’s despicable actions disgusted the netizens. Not only that they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdidn’t care about Armand, but they also intended to snatch his company.
Instead of dwelling on Armand’s family background, all netizens condemned Peter and Samantha’s
malicious ambition.
As a result, Faulkner Group’s share price, which had only stabilized for a short time, slid again due to the
news.
The company’s stocks were down thirty to forty million within several hours.
On the way back to Xedells by her private jet, Samantha looked grim upon reading the news.
Miles away, Genevieve attended a meeting with the higher-ups of Central Group once the press
conference was over.
The higher-ups of Central Group, including Jenny from the translation department, couldn’t believe their
eyes when they saw Genevieve entering the conference room.
My goodness!
Before this, Jenny always thought that Genevieve was Patrick’s girlfriend.
Hence, Jenny was taken aback upon realizing that Genevieve was Mrs. Faulkner!
Night had fallen when Genevieve finally finished her work and left the company with Steven.
Genevieve recalled that she hadn’t gone to the hospital for a few days because she was extremely
occupied.
As such, Genevieve asked Steven to drive her to the hospital.
“Mrs. Faulkner.” The bodyguard who stood near the ward greeted Genevieve.
Genevieve nodded at him in response before entering the ward.
After Genevieve came closer to the bed, she noticed Armand’s face had reddened and wasn’t as pale as
a few days ago. Nonetheless, there were bandages around his head while the ventilator was still
attached to him. At that time, Genevieve could hear his ragged breathing.
Pursing her lips, Genevieve sat beside the bed and held Armand’s hand.
She realized that his palm was dryer and warmer, unlike the last time she held it.
Genevieve lowered her head and gazed at Armand, who was sleeping soundly. Deep down, she couldn’t
help but wonder why Armand would sell his shares of Central Group to Cooper and others.
Why did Armand risk his life to protect me when the car exploded?
The steel bar of the car wouldn’t land on Armand if he quickly squatted down to dodge it.
Genevieve murmured, “Armand, what was on your mind? Why are you unpredictable?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Genevieve was deep in thought, Steven knocked on the door and came in with a set of dinner.
Then, Steven opened the boxes and passed them to Genevieve. “Mrs. Faulkner, let me drive you home
after having dinner. You have to go to Central Group tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you.” Genevieve took a bowl of soup from Steven and thanked him.
Noticing Genevieve’s grim expression, Steven said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Faulkner, you’re now the CEO
of Central Group. You can do anything you want and don’t have to worry too much about the rest.”
Genevieve gazed at him and replied, “Central Group is Armand’s blood, sweat, and tears. Won’t you
worry that Central Group will collapse in my hands?”
Steven looked at Armand for a while and said, “Well, it doesn’t matter. You have heard what the doctor
said— Mr. Faulkner’s chances of waking up are slim. I believe he would want you to manage his
company instead of handing it over to someone else.”
After a while, Steven reminded Genevieve, “With Central Group, it will be easier for you to do a lot of
things.”
Steven’s words enlightened Genevieve.
My early motive for staying by Armand’s side is to utilize his power to bring down the Wood family.
Now that Armand is in a coma, I can achieve it without obstacles!
Genevieve flashed Steven a smile and said, “Yes, I understand. Thank you, Steven.”
