NovelEnglishIt was the fourth day since Genevieve became the CEO of Central Group. Sitting in the CEO’s office,
she was busy learning the abstruse knowledge about finance by reading the pile of documents.
Surprisingly, news about her private meeting with a man in Langfield Hotel spread on the internet.
From the leaked photos, netizens could see a blurred figure coming out of a room. Also, Genevieve
was seemingly arguing with Armand in the room.
Genevieve hung on tight to a blanket, revealing her beautiful collarbones. When Genevieve looked up
at Armand, she appeared nervous, while her eyes were wet with tears.
With those photos, some reporters began accusing Genevieve of having an affair.
Given that someone was behind the massive campaign to smear Genevieve’s reputation, some
netizens, who didn’t know the truth, bought into the rumors and condemned her.
As expected, the rumors indirectly affected the share prices of Specter Corporation and Central Group.
After reading the news, Genevieve asked Steven to find the security footage and extract the part when

Just as Genevieve wanted to clarify it, Cooper had posted on Twitter, saying that the incident happened
after they had agreed to get a divorce.
Cooper added that both sides had signed the divorce agreement. Back then, they hadn’t visited the
City Hall because they were too occupied.
When a friend told him Genevieve was with a man in a hotel, Cooper lost his mind and brought
reporters along to raise a ruckus.
After that, Cooper even showed the signed divorce agreement, including the date at the bottom of the
document.
Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief after reading Cooper’s tweet.
Cooper knew that Genevieve and Specter Corporation would be in trouble if others found out that he
arranged for the man to show up in the hotel. Hence, Cooper decided to forge a divorce agreement to
stop the rumors.
How smart! Genevieve couldn’t help but commend Copper deep down.
After Steven sent the security footage to her, Genevieve also tweeted that the man in the hotel was
none other than Armand. At that time, they were already dating. Armand left Genevieve in the hotel
because he had to head toward the company early in the morning. They registered their marriage at
the City Hall not long after the incident.
The date on the marriage certificate matched Genevieve’s explanation.
Furthermore, since the public relations department of Central Group and Specter Corporation quickly
intervened, the news soon eclipsed.
Genevieve slumped in her chair after the mess was finally solved.
Suddenly, Steven knocked on the door and came in with some documents.
Genevieve started to feel a little dizzy once she saw Steven. “Steven, please let me off. There are
dozens of documents on my desk that I haven’t read yet…”
“I never expected to read documents from morning till evening and learn about finance till eleven
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmo’clock. I wouldn’t have agreed to become CEO if I knew it earlier!”
“What you are experiencing now means nothing.” Steven shook his head as he put down the
documents on the desk.
After a while, Steven continued, “Setting aside Central Group, Mr. Faulkner had to deal with over
twenty factions within Faulkner Group and reorient the company’s direction. Hence, he only had three
hours of sleep for half a year after taking over the company. Later, he vomited blood due to
overtiredness and was hospitalized for half a month.”
Genevieve was stunned for a while before sitting up straight. “Even though Armand contributed so
much to Faulkner Group, the Faulkner family betrayed him cold-heartedly.”
To the family, Armand’s status was even lower than that of Faulkner Group’s employees.
“Faulkner Group always emphasized successors of the same bloodline over others. As such, the
Faulkners dismissed Armand’s contribution as soon as they knew he wasn’t blood-related,” Steven
explained.
Pointing at the documents, Steven continued, “I’ve organized the documents based on Mr. Faulkner’s
instruction. Now, I think you might need these.”
