Chapter 283 It Is Suffocating But Will Not Die
Steven was rendered speechless.
Johanna and Timothy are both chatterboxes. But how come Johanna looks so adorable when she talks
while Timothy looks so annoying anyone will want to sew his lips up?
After the two left, Genevieve headed into the ward.
Armand’s condition had improved a little as compared to the past few days, and he no longer needed the
ventilator.
Seeing the man sound asleep, Genevieve did not dare to think what kind of reaction he would have if he
ever woke up one day to find himself losing his mobility. Will he be utterly crushed by the fact?
As she clenched tightly onto his hand, she felt her heart ached terribly, almost as if there was a large fist
wrenching it forcefully.
It would not kill her, yet it felt so suffocating.
I can’t believe a mere action of mine that night would get him seriously injured…
Genevieve hated the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

soothe the frustrations raging inside her.
She rested her cheeks against the back of the man’s hand, leaned by the edge of the bed, and slept
through the night.
The following day, as Genevieve did not see Steven around after waking up, she decided to return to
Regality Gardens on her own.
As it had been quite a while since she returned, Dagna hurriedly went to prepare breakfast upon seeing
her return.
When Genevieve got out of the room to have breakfast after changing into some clean clothes, Dagna
asked concernedly about Armand’s condition. Genevieve just told her that he was fine.
She had only taken a few mouthfuls of oatmeal when Steven called her.
“Mrs. Faulkner, something cropped up in the overseas company. I’m at the airport waiting for my flight
now.” Steven’s tone was heavy.
Hearing Steven’s words, Genevieve deduced that it must be Samantha’s doings. “All right. Stay safe.”
Upon finishing breakfast, she rushed back to her office.
Even though Genevieve now held the position of the new CEO of Central Group, the vice presidents
remained unchanged. Armand had personally promoted them previously, and two of them were busy
with companies in the other regions while the other continued to stay at Central Group.
Thankfully, Genevieve had one less thing to worry over because that vice president had dealt with all the
paperwork.
Of course, she would still look through the submitted proposals attentively and ask Cooper for help
whenever she faced any difficulties.
Halfway through a document, she had to call Cooper as there were some contents that she did not
understand.
Under normal circumstances, he would have answered her calls. Nevertheless, it was otherwise that
particular day.
Moments later, Cooper sent her a WhatsApp message stating that it was inconvenient for him to answer
her calls. He also said that she could contact him directly on WhatsApp if there was anything, and thus
they texted over the phone for communication.
Little did she expect that Cooper’s assistant, Bertilla White, would come looking for her in the afternoon.

files of Specter Corporation. Mr. Sutton has instructed me to send them over.”
Genevieve felt a massive headache forming. “I already have a ton of documents with me. Besides, isn’t
he the one who’s in charge of Specter Corporation?”
Bertilla averted her gaze as she lowered her head and answered, “Mr. Sutton says you’re only
temporarily helping Mr. Faulkner manage Central Group. You’ll eventually step down and take over the
family business once Mr. Faulkner regains consciousness. That’s why Mr. Sutton wants you to get
familiarized with Specter Corporation’s work so that you can take over in the future.”
Genevieve knew Cooper’s intentions to return Specter Corporation to her. And in that case, it was
inevitable that she had to familiarize herself now to prepare for the takeover in the future.
As such, she stopped refusing and accepted the stack of documents.
While she was busy handling Central Group’s matters, over at Xedells, Peter had successfully entered
Faulkner Group after buying all of Genevieve’s shares. As he had the same equity as Samantha, he
began fighting for power. Likewise, Samantha did not go easy on him either.
The two were so absorbed in their battle they could barely be bothered with Genevieve.
As such, the latter had taken advantage of this period to secretly take action against the Wood family
and mess with Wood Group’s business. At the same time, Cooper also sent her several documents.
