Chapter 56 Could Not Bear To Lay A Hand

Genevieve noticed some ornaments on the coffee table when she was switching channels with the remote control. There was also the bouquet of lilies that the nurse had brought into the room when she was admitted into the hospital.

The lilies were in full bloom, and the floral scent wafted up to her nose.

She recalled the flower tattoo on Armand’s wound when she was treating his injury that night. A chill started running down her spine.

Genevieve turned to Patrick. “Patrick, can I ask you a question?”

Patrick raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”

“The two women, who were supposed to marry Mando, died before their wedding. The cause of their deaths had nothing to do with their health. Were they accidents?”

Genevieve decided to voice her suspicions when she thought of all that had happened. “Someone’s feeling threatened if Mando gets married. That’s why they are secretly plotting against him.”

She paused for a while before continuing with absolute certainty, “The car explosion outside Langfield Hotel the other day was targeted at me, not Mando.”

“Oh my God!” Patrick’s jaw almost dropped in shock when he heard how Genevieve arrived at that conclusion.

He had thought that Steven had Genevieve fooled with his lies. However, Genevieve remembered the car explosion and had deduced it correctly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Genevieve saw his reaction, she knew she had hit the nail on the head. “I’ve guessed it all along. Mando’s father had so many children with his three wives, but he loved Mando the most. He left the Faulkner family to Mando instead of his eldest son. I’m sure some people in the family must be displeased with his decision. If Mando died in an accident, the Faulkner family would be able to get their hands on his assets, but…”

Genevieve’s expression turned grim as she continued, “If Mando gets married and has children, he will have a family of his own. His children will inherit his assets. The Faulkner family won’t get a single cent.”

“Genev, you’re brilliant!” Patrick uttered those words after much hesitation.

Patrick was aware of many things about Armand, after working for him for so many years.

Genevieve, on the other hand, was only married to Armand for a short time. Although she did not know much about him, she still managed to figure out many things.

There were many people in the Faulkner family members who wanted to plot against Armand. However, many of them toed the line and did not dare to make any move after the bloodbath a year ago.

Someone was indeed trying to harm Genevieve, but it was not the Faulkner family.

Genevieve merely smiled. She held up her glass and took a sip of water. “One of the brides was the youngest daughter of the shipping tycoon in Xedells, and the other was the daughter of the owner of a foodstuff company. Mando not only did not pursue this matter, but he also spent a large sum of money to resolve it. I guess the person involved must be close to him.”

Genvieve said confidently as her finger traced the surface of the glass. “That person must be someone Mando couldn’t bear to lay a hand on.”

Patrick’s mouth was open wide, but no words came out.

He knew about the Rachford family. He knew how Cooper had framed Genevieve and destroyed her family. He was also aware that Cooper had taken Genevieve’s company away. Hence, he always thought Genevieve was not a smart person. Now, he realized it was otherwise.

He was the real fool.

“It’s the same person who wanted to attack me, isn’t it? Can you tell me why Mando is condoning his actions?” Genevieve asked Patrick.

“I don’t know. I haven’t been with Armand for a long time. Steven was the one who was by his side most of the time. I was at Epea all this while and was only transferred back here two months ago.” Patrick shrugged his shoulders as he mumbled.

“Don’t worry, Genev. Regardless of who that person is, I won’t allow the same thing to happen again. With me around, no one can harm you,” he declared confidently.

Genevieve understood what he meant immediately. “You didn’t protect the two previous brides, so they died? Looks like Mando is truly indulging this person.”

Patrick was silent.

Although he was able to guess who that person was, it was still his speculation. He was still clueless about a lot of things.

For example, he did not know why Armand pretended to marry those two women but married Genevieve. He even made Patrick come back to protect her.

“Stop asking, Genev. I’m getting a headache from all your questioning.” Patrick did not like to handle such matters.

If not for Steven, he would go back to Epea.

Back there, he had more control of his time, and no one would bother him. Life was so carefree then.

“Quick, go and sleep. I’m going out for a puff.”

Afraid that he might let slip something if Genevieve continued probing, Patrick quickly made an excuse and left the ward.
