Chapter 118
When Patrick saw this message, he felt a chill down his spine.
I have already mentioned to Steven that Iâm coming to Regality Gardens to take care of Genevieve. With me staying by her side, why would Armand still send someone to follow us in secret?
Patrick replied: Armand, Genev has a major burn on both her thighs. Itâs impossible for her to heal so soon. The doctor has reminded her that she needs to rest at home for a week.
Armand replied: All right. Take good care of her.
At the same time, in Central Group, after Armand was done sending his message, he called Steven over via the internal line to give him an order. âHelp Patrick and Genevieve apply for a leave.â
âUnderstood.â When Steven came in, he had a set of breakfast in his hands, which he then placed on the work desk. âThis morning, Iâve sent Ms. Wood back to her place. She bought this personally and told me to bring it over.â
Armand glanced at the set of breakfast before saying coldly, âGet rid of it later. Also, get Timothy to arrange a good family doctor and let him stay at Marilynâs place. Keep an eye on the child in her belly and stop her from going to the Faulkner residence so often.â
Steven was stunned, but he then quickly nodded. âUnderstood.â
Actually, Steven had found Marilynâs lack of discipline an eyesore for a long time. Still, this was his first time seeing Armand actually taking action to limit her freedom.
Perhaps heâs worried that Old Mrs. Faulkner would fall ill from getting angry so often? Maybe thatâs why heâs doing this?
Steven then walked to the door with the set of breakfast in his hand, but he heard Armandâs voice coming from behind him. âCheck out the fashion shows that Genevieve has been to in the past and the kinds of clothes and bags that she likes. Purchase them and send them to her place.â
âUh⦠Sureâ¦â
When Steven finally got out of the CEOâs office, he was still dumbfounded.
Armandâs attitude toward Genevieve has always been cold. Didnât he pass her a card and tell her to get anything she wanted? Whatâs up with him today?
However, Steven didnât bother to make further interpretations of his bossâ wishes. Immediately, he got his subordinates to do the work. Soon, he found out about the clothes and the brands of handbags that Genevieve would often use when she went to the clubs back when the Rachford family was still powerful.
Thus, Steven told his subordinate to visit the specialty stores of those few brands and purchase the newest editions, the limited editions, and even the showcase editions that they had to offer for the year.
Then, he told them to send them to Genevieveâs place.
The customers of luxury item shops were always rich people and celebrities, but they had rarely met any local tycoons that would purchase all the models in one go, including the editions that were for shows, which were sold at high prices.
Because of that tycoon who had splurged on these luxury items, the sales assistants in these luxury item stores had achieved their annual sales target within a couple of days.
Some assistants recognized Steven, so they started gossiping within their own circles.
Previously, some worker of Central Group secretly showed off the CEOâs wedding ring on Twitter. No one believed it that time since Armandâs previous two weddings were high-profile, and the bridesâ deaths entertained everyone pretty much.
Hence, they wouldnât believe that Armand would get married again without announcing it.
However, when a certain worker of a luxury item shop revealed Armandâs personal assistant had brought his people to purchase luxury clothes and handbags in the shopping malls, everyone believed it.
The topic of Armand getting married again even became trending on social media.
Nonetheless, no matter how the netizens tried to dig out the truth or how the reporters bribed some of Central Groupâs employees, they simply couldnât obtain any information about the woman.
Some netizens began to discuss in forums.
Someone wrote: Armandâs previous two brides were daughters of rich families. Some reporters caught them traveling somewhere before getting married, so why are they not doing the same this time?
Another netizen commented: Who in Xedells could this lady be this time? Iâm so curious about it!
That post was followed by another reply: I heard that Armand has been in a relationship with the daughter of the Wood family for many years, but his brother took her away from him. Still, he misses that lady. Could it be that he bought all those handbags for her?
The previous netizen responded: What a piece of gossip! Unbelievable!
News spread everywhere online. Meanwhile, within these few days, Genevieve had been resting at home, but she kept receiving gifts from someone every day. The gifts were piled up in a corner in the living room by then.
