Chapter 236 Putting On A Show For Her
After grabbing the device, Armand noticed that there was an ongoing video call on it.
“Mando, don’t you dare touch Genevieve! I forbid you from laying a finger on her!” shrieked Marilyn when
she saw Armand over the call.
When the man stayed silent, Marilyn burst into tears before resorting to begging. “Please, Mando. Just
listen to me, okay?”
Following that, Armand heard the panicked voice of Marilyn’s housekeeper. “W-What’s wrong, Mdm.
Marilyn? Are you okay?”
The sounds coming from the other end of the line were enough to tell Armand the sheer chaos that had
erupted there.
Still, Armand decided that it was none of his business. After ending the call, the man turned to
Genevieve, who remained on the bed, and stared at her with his deep-set eyes. “Why were you on a
video call with Marilyn?”
“She called me when you were taking your shower and refused to believe that we’re together,” explained
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGenevieve after sitting up on the bed and crossing her legs, pretending to be innocent. “She insisted that
we do a video call.”
In response, Armand leaned in to place his hand on the back of Genevieve’s head and yanked the
woman close.
“Is that why you kissed me on purpose? Were you trying to put on a show for her?” Armand wanted to
strangle Genevieve when he realized what she was doing just then.
Genevieve shuddered when she felt Armand’s breath on her cheek. “Marilyn insisted that we have a
video call, and I didn’t know how to turn her down.” The woman gazed at Armand with her puppy-dog
eyes as she continued to defend herself.
After pausing for a while, she continued, “It sounded like something’s going on with Marilyn’s baby. Don’t
you think you should go check on her?”
Armand tightened his grip on Genevieve because he knew she was trying to change the subject. “Did
you start acting ever since we got back from the hospital?”
“I thought we were already acting when you first married me. Is that not so?” questioned Genevieve
rhetorically. “You’re only being nice to me because you need my blood, and I’m only doing my best to
please you because I need you to help me get my revenge. Does that not sit well with you? Or do you
prefer that I go back to being wary of you?”
For all his years in the business world, never had Armand been bested in a negotiation.
However, the man finally met his match today.
Enraged by Genevieve’s flippant words, Armand forcefully pinned the woman on the bed and bit her on
the lips once again.
The man was no longer gentle with Genevieve, though. With the woman’s lips between his teeth,
Armand wanted nothing more than to rip her apart then.
The two had spent countless hours in bed together, but Genevieve had never seen Armand like this
before. Frightened, she pulled away from the man and accidentally injured her lips.
Just when Genevieve was about to inhale sharply because of the pain, Armand forced himself onto her
bleeding lips again and stopped her from making a sound.
At that moment, Genevieve began to regret her impulsiveness. Why did I have to say those words? I

Armand then lifted the hem of Genevieve’s dress and ran his calloused fingers across the woman’s
delicate skin. He could feel the way she trembled beneath him. Suddenly, his fingers brushed across an
area of raised skin.
Lowering his head, he stared at the burn scar on her waist. Like a tide, Armand’s anger immediately
receded. After grabbing the blanket next to him, he threw it on top of Genevieve.
“You’re really something else. Do you know that, Genevieve?” sneered Armand at Genevieve before
leaving the room with a grim expression on his face.
The usually calm man slammed the door behind him so violently that Genevieve was left stunned.
After staring blankly at the chandelier above her for a while, she climbed out of bed and went to shower.
The next day was the day of Patrick’s burial. Genevieve got up early in the morning and saw the
housekeeper preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
“Mr. Faulkner has already left in the middle of the night,” informed the housekeeper after greeting
Genevieve.
It was around twelve when a loud noise disturbed the housekeeper’s slumber the previous night. Hence,
she quietly poked her head out of her room and saw Armand exiting the master bedroom.
The housekeeper was utterly stunned when she noticed the fear-inducing look on his face.
