Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Samantha curled her lips into a smirk. “Why do I feel like you were going against your grandma?”

Armand’s eyes twitched, and his expression was still cold. “Aunt Samantha, you’re overthinking. I

changed my room that night. Coincidentally, I bumped into Genevieve.” Samantha chuckled. “Yes. I

guess I’m overthinking. Genevieve is beautiful and smart. But then…” Holding a cigarette between her

fingers, she picked up her coffee on the table and asked, “How long can she stay by your side?”

Armand replied, “As long as Grandma likes her, she can stay as long as she wants.” “Even if Mom likes

her, I’m afraid you might not be able to keep her, anyway.” Samantha looked like she had seen through

everything. She shot him a meaningful glance and continued, “She can’t stop what’s going to happen to

her.” Armand sensed the meaning behind his words. His eyes twitched again in response. Right then,

Mandy, the young housekeeper, walked to the living room. Bowing, she said, “Mdm. Marilyn is not

feeling well. She requested you to go and check on her.” Samantha smiled as she put out her

unfinished cigarette on the ashtray. “Great. We’ve just finished talking too. I’m going upstairs to take

some rest now.” Having said that, she stood up and headed upstairs. Armand was still sitting on the

couch with his head hung low. Holding a cup of coffee in his hand, he exuded a cold temperament

around him. Mandy stood there and waited for a long time. Ten minutes later, she started sweating

profusely. Left with no choice, she mustered up her courage and said, “Mdm. Marilyn says she has

something to tell you. Please go upstairs and—” “All right,” Armand replied emotionlessly, putting his

cup of coffee on the table. Meanwhile, Genevieve held Harriet’s arm while walking in the garden. The

pale, silver moonlight shone on the stone pavements, illuminating the path. As they walked, they could

hear the faint rhythmic chirping of insects that sounded from a distance away. Harriet glanced at the

moon as she started slowing down her pace. “Vivi, I have an old story to share with you. Do you want

to listen to it?” It seemed like Genevieve had predicted what she wanted to say. Her gaze darkened in

an instant. “Grandma, if you want to share it with me, I’ll listen to you,” she replied softly. Then, they

walked toward the bench beside the pavement and sat on it together. Harriet told her a story about a

pair of lovers who fell in love but were accidentally separated. Fourteen years ago, Armand met the

second daughter of the Wood family, Marilyn, in a hospital. He fell in love with her at first sight. Marilyn

was quite famous in the music industry during that period. Hence, many young, wealthy men tried to

pursue her even though she was still a minor. Both Marilyn’s and Armand’s families were equally

prominent and influential. Moreover, Armand was outstanding and capable even though he was still

young. Not to mention that Marilyn had feelings for him too. Therefore, they got into a relationship soon

after. After they dated each other, Armand treated Marilyn so well as if she was a treasure. No matter

which country Marilyn went to organize her concert or attend training, Armand would always go and

visit her every four days despite how busy he was. He had never missed any of her recitals.

Furthermore, he would always sit on the most conspicuous seat in the first row of the auditorium. After

Marilyn finished her performance, he would go on the stage and hand her a bouquet personally every

time. Unfortunately, Armand took over more and more businesses soon after, so he became busier.

Besides, Central Group had just been established in Jadeborough during that time. Hence, he had to

spend most of his time at work. Because of that, he could not meet Marilyn frequently. Although they

had to spend a lot of time away from each other, Armand was always caring toward Marilyn. He asked

someone to custom-make their wedding rings, and he planned to propose to her after returning to the

country. Sadly, before Armand could finish settling his work overseas, he heard the bad news that the

plane his father boarded had crashed. When that happened, the entire Faulkner family broke into utter

chaos. Armand quickly returned to the country to settle his father’s funeral and post-death matters with

his brothers. He planned to visit the Wood family to discuss his engagement with Marilyn first. They

would then hold the wedding after Armand’s father’s funeral. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the

Wood family, he noticed that his third brother, Samuel, was also there. The Wood family accepted the

marriage between Samuel and Marilyn. Genevieve could not come back to her senses even after

Harriet finished her story. Some days ago, Genevieve forced Patrick to tell her the story between

Armand and Marilyn. However, the man hardly followed Armand around, so he did not know much

about the latter’s story. Hence, Genevieve only knew that Marilyn was Armand’s first love, and they had

ended up on bad terms before engagement. I didn’t expect the truth of the story to be like this.
