Chapter 1097
For as long as Genevieve could remember, her father and mother had always loved each other, and her father
especially indulged her mother.
Of course, Genevieve remembered that her father loved her as well. Afraid that she might stumble and fall,
Genevieve's father would carry her everywhere, and they would play the swing together. Her father would always
say that her mother was his princess, while Genevieve was his little princess.
Owing to her loving parents, Genevieve grew up anticipating that she would someday marry someone she loved
and spend the rest of her life with her one true love.
However, it would seem like her notion of the epitome of love had changed.
Wayne was not Genevieve's biological father. In fact, Mia was already pregnant when she married Wayne. If Mia
and Silas were indeed married in Lostaria back then, Wayne would be a homewrecker who had ruined Mia and
Silas' marriage.
Armand couldn't bear to see Genevieve getting upset and said softly, “Someone in Lostaria sent a message to me,
saying that Silas had not gotten married back then, and he didn't know about the child as well. Zephyr's mother
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmight just be Silas' mistress and secretly gave birth to Zephyr without Silas' knowledge. After Zephyr's mother
found out about Silas and your mother's close relationship, I think she went to look for your mother and told her
about the baby. Your mother had only gotten back to the country because of that.”
No woman could live with the fact that a man that she had just married days ago had a child with another woman.
Mia was Chanaean. Coming from a decent family with strong traditional values, she couldn't accept that her
husband had a child with another woman. Hence, she broke up with Silas and went back to Chanaea.
Perhaps Mia had only realized that she was pregnant after getting back to Chanaea. She couldn't bear to abort the
baby, and in the end, gave birth to Genevieve.
Genevieve reckoned that Armand's surmise was close to the truth.
When Silas came to meet her in Chanaea, he assumed that Genevieve was Mia and Wayne's child. Mia deliberately
kept the fact from him and had no intention of letting him know about the child.
Genevieve regained her composure and asked Armand, “In which year were the two photos taken?”
Armand turned to the back of the photo and told Genevieve the date.
“That's not it,” Genevieve mumbled in a disappointed manner. The card that Zephyr gave her didn't have the same
numbers.
Genevieve didn't tell Armand that she was helping Zephyr decipher the numbers in the diamond. However, Armand
made his guess after seeing Genevieve in that state.
He didn't press on and merely said, “I think it might not be the date. It could be the time.”
“The time that Silas and Mia got married at the church was—” Armand looked at the photo again and said, “—
eighteen minutes past three in the afternoon in Lostaria.”
The time matched the number on the card perfectly in military time—1518.
When Zephyr told Genevieve that Silas had intended the diamond for Mia, Genevieve knew that the numbers must
have something to do with her mother. That was the reason she asked Armand to go to her granddad's house to
find out more.
If Armand had not managed to get the photos from the housekeeper, he wouldn't have found the photographer
who had taken the photos for Silas and Mia.
In turn, she wouldn't have known what the numbers meant despite racking her brain.
1518 denoted the time that Silas and Mia got married, and the ceremony was held at the church.
The question of where the batch of gold was located was finally answered.
Genevieve had not asked where the church was located. There was only a single church in Marsingfill that was as

“It's already three in the morning. Mando, you'd better get some sleep,” Genevieve said. She didn't realize that she
had been on the phone with Armand for so long.
"Let me look at you for a little longer,” Armand replied.
Genevieve found his response amusing. She leaned forward and gave the man a kiss before she said gently, “I'm all
yours to look at when I'm back home. All right, I'm hanging up now.”
She knew that Armand was not going to hang up if she didn't. Hence, she ended the call right after.
Armand sat there for quite some time after the screen went dark.
After finishing the half cigarette, Armand left the study and headed downstairs. Then, he knocked on the door of
Steven's bedroom.
Steven was a light sleeper. He woke up immediately when he heard Armand's knock. After draping over a jacket, he
went to open the door.
"Mr. Faulkner.”
“Genev wants to deal with everything on her own and is keeping a lot of things from me. I'm really worried,”
Armand said with deeply furrowed brows. “I'm going Lostaria in a few days' time.”
He couldn't bear to leave Genevieve all alone to deal with the precarious situation.
