Chapter 39 His Wife
Although Patrick had never met Marilyn before, he could tell what relationship she had with Armand by
the latter’s expression.
Genevieve furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Patrick cursing. “Is that really Mando?”
Armand always had a cold demeanor and treated people condescendingly. As far as she knew, he had
never been as gentle as this before.
“The woman beside Mando…” Suppressing the unusual emotions, she asked, “Is she his wife?”
After getting married to Armand, Genevieve dug up the Faulkner family’s background.
She knew that the Faulkner family had become successful in Xedells and was one of the four most
prestigious families in the city. As the law was rather outdated there, the Faulkner family’s male
ancestors had many wives.
Initially, Armand’s grandfather ordered the Faulkner family to only practice monogamy from his
generation onward.
However, the global financial crisis severely affected the Faulkner family’s business. Therefore, the ex-
patriarch of the Faulkner family had no choice but to marry three wives to save their family.
Armand’s mother was the second wife of the family, and also the distant relative of Harriet.

he first entered the business circle. When he took over the Faulkner family’s core business, he moved all
business projects to Jadeborough.
Due to Xedells’ backdated law, Armand could still marry another woman in Jadeborough despite already
being married in Xedells.
Therefore, Genevieve thought the woman beside Armand was the wife he married in Xedells.
“You must have seen it wrongly. The man is not Armand. His figure just looks similar to him, that’s all.”
Even though it was the first time Patrick bumped into such an intense scene, he managed to react
quickly.
“If that’s the case, why did you shout so loudly just now?”
“Don’t you think her girlfriend is gorgeous? She looks just like a pop star!” Patrick’s exaggerated words
caused Genevieve to feel speechless.
The man they saw had already gotten onto the driver’s seat. However, she could not see his face clearly
as the wipers were turned on. Therefore, she could only watch as the car left.
Genevieve mumbled in exasperation, “Not only his figure, but his side profile looks like him too.”
“What’s so odd about that?” Patrick said. “I’ve even been told I should try becoming a porn star because
I look like one from Jetroina!”
Genevieve was speechless at that.
To diminish Genevieve’s suspicion, Patrick spoke again. “Don’t overthink this. Although Xedells still
maintained its polygamy policy, Old Mrs. Faulkner hated this outdated law and ordered that the Faulkner
family’s grandsons could only marry one wife. Therefore, Armand will only have one wife, which is you.”
“Does that mean that Old Mrs. Faulkner is an easygoing person?” Genevieve asked.
She did not know if Armand would bring her to visit Harriet. However, one could find any information on
the internet, so Harriet probably knew about her from the news. “I probably gave her a terrible impression
of myself,” she thought.
“No way. She even made me cry twice from her scolding.” Patrick felt uneasy when he thought of the
memory of him crying because of Harriet. “However, it seems like Old Mrs. Faulkner has taken quite a
liking to you.”
Genevieve asked curiously, “I’ve never met with Old Mrs. Faulkner before. How do you know if she likes
me or not?”
Immediately, Patrick realized he had said something wrong and quickly covered it up. “Old Mrs. Faulkner
would like anyone Armand chooses, after all.”
Once again, Genevieve was rendered speechless.
The duo chatted casually in the cafe until one in the afternoon. Although the rain had stopped,

She decided to give Erica a call. Although the latter’s phone was not turned off, nobody picked it up.
Immediately, a sense of uneasiness rose in Genevieve’s heart. Therefore, she ordered Patrick to track
Erica’s GPS location on her phone. They found out that her phone was located at the entrance of
Southwood Mansion, but when they got there, the place itself was empty.
“Cooper probably found out that she wanted to look for you,” Patrick analyzed. “Should I hack into
Cooper’s phone to investigate?”
Genevieve was reminded of Cooper’s counter-reconnaissance during the car accident. Thus, she shook
her head. “Cooper is smarter than Erica, and he’ll definitely have security on his phone. Even if we try to
track him, we probably wouldn’t be able to find Erica.”
Taking one last look at the empty mansion, she turned around and entered the car. “Let’s head back.”
The reason why she married Armand was to take revenge. If she could obtain some evidence from
Erica, she could quickly send Cooper to jail and enable her parents to rest in peace.
Unfortunately, her wish did not come true.
Genevieve was in a foul mood after coming back with nothing. On the way back, her phone suddenly
rang.
