Chapter 1031
Armand led Genevieve to greet the old mayor before heading to the second table to greet Felix and Phineus.
“Hello, Uncle Phineus, Uncle Felix.”
As he spoke, he brushed his finger against her palm, sending her a silent signal. Comprehending his meaning,
Genevieve swiftly greeted Felix and Phineus the same way Armand did.
Robert was sitting at the same table with Phineus and the others, and when he saw how Armand brought Genevieve
over while holding hands with her, he could immediately tell their relationship with each other.
“I thought Sally likes Armand?” He lowered his voice and asked Gerald, who was sitting beside him.
“I thought so too, but I tried probing a few times, and she expressed no interest in Armand whatsoever.” Gerald had
assumed it was possible between the two of them as Sally and Armand used to hang out a lot.
Armand was a shrewd man who performed well in both the business and political fields, which was why Gerald

As Gerald's gaze fell on Armand, he had a feeling that the latter seemed to know something.
After making rounds to greet everyone, Armand walked Genevieve to the ladies' private room next door.
Meanwhile, Felix turned to look at Gerald, who was sitting on his right. “General Loake, what were you and Mr. Zane
whispering about?”
Gerald tapped his cigarette on the table and chuckled. “We were talking about how Armand addressed you and
Commander Zeigler as 'Uncle.' What's with that? Did you accept him as your nephew?”
Since Armand had brought Genevieve over, Felix didn't intend to hide anything from them. “Genevieve is my niece.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone at the table was stunned.
They were all aware that Herbert had lost his only daughter since she was young, and despite his efforts to search
for her in the past decades, he still hadn't found her. Previously, another woman appeared and impersonated
Herbert's granddaughter, angering the old man deeply. Therefore, everyone wondered where this supposed
granddaughter of his came from.
Felix took in their silence and laughed. “This time, it's true. We had their blood tested, and the girl's mother
resembles my sister when she was young.”
Everyone snapped out of their trance and congratulated Felix, swiftly ending that topic of conversation.
In the meantime. Rebecca arrived at the ladies' private room.
Armand introduced Genevieve to her by saying, “This is Uncle Felix's daughter and your cousin, Rebecca Zeigler.
You should talk to her.”
Rebecca pitied Genevieve after learning the latter had been hypnotized.
Leading Genevieve to the table that was next to the wall, Rebecca struck up a conversation with her. The two
women chatted away as Genevieve was quite fond of this cousin of hers.
Only when Genevieve lifted her glass to take a sip of water did she notice Eurydice sitting right across from her.
Seated beside the latter was the woman who had gone to the hospital to visit Cooper.
The woman who fought with me over my fiance and the woman who's seemingly in love with my current boyfriend
are sitting at the same table with me... What a f*cking coincidence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEurydice flashed Genevieve a faint smile when she saw her. “Hello, Ms. Rachford.”
“It's nice to see you here, Ms. Gaudette.” Genevieve reciprocated the smile.
The servers soon filed into the room, setting a variety of dishes on the table. Everyone gradually lowered their
voices as they savored the food.
The mayor, on the other hand, took the opportunity to chat with his friends, prioritizing quality time with his
acquaintances over food. After all, it had been a while since he had met most of them.
As for the ladies, they finished the meal after an hour since they didn't smoke or drink.
Worried that her guests would be bored, the mayor's wife told the ladies there was a card room upstairs open for
visitors to play poker as long as gambling wasn't involved.
The ladies took up the offer and headed upstairs to the card room as they thought it would indeed be boring if they
only sat and chatted.
Rebecca, who didn't know if Genevieve knew how to play poker, suggested, “There's a shopping street nearby. I can
take you there if you'd like.”
“Oh, it's okay. Poker is fun.” Genevieve curled her rosy lips as she glanced at Eurydice and Sally. “Ms. Gaudette, Ms.
Loake, do you play poker?”
Knowing that Genevieve was challenging her to a game, Eurydice accepted it with a gracious smile. “Of course.”
