Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

At the Faulkner residence, after Harriet prayed, she had wanted to stay at the church longer with Samantha. However, after she
heard about the incident, the two rushed home in the afternoon. Harriet sat on the couch for a long time with a grim expression
after learning about what had happened from one of the housekeepers, Mandy. The other housekeepers were standing by the
side with their heads hanging low, not daring to breathe loudly. The housekeepers were either busy upstairs or in the courtyard in
the early morning. No one would expect such a shocking incident to happen in the house. According to them, Genevieve had
pushed Marilyn, causing the latter almost to have a miscarriage. Even though the Faulkner family was filled with their
descendants, Harriet liked Samuel and Armand the most. However, Samuel had passed away in an accident, leaving Marilyn
and the baby in her tummy behind. Thus, Harriet loved her unborn great-grandchild a lot. Some of the housekeepers even felt
that as much as Harriet liked Genevieve, she would never forgive the latter for such a grave mistake. Just as the housekeepers
felt uneasy, Harriet suddenly rose to her feet. With a darkened expression, she walked toward Armand, who was standing next to
the couch. She lifted her hand and slapped him hard across the face. The slap was so loud that it scared the housekeepers.
They were old housekeepers who had been serving the Faulkner family for a long time. Whenever Armand came to the Faulkner
residence, Harriet was thrilled to see him. Hence, they had never seen her hitting him. W-What is happening? “Armand, I’m very
disappointed in you,” Harriet said while shaking her head and putting her hand down in a huff. She had been alive for a long time
and had seen all kinds of deceptions and the worst of human nature. Of course, she would not believe everything a maid said.
This was the first time in Harriet’s life that she had beaten Armand. She was exasperated that her grandchild had publicly taken
Marilyn’s side without investigating what happened. He even ignored Genevieve, who had severe burns on her legs. Armand’s
expression was still ice-cold, even after being slapped. He lowered his gaze and said, “Yes. You did right by punishing me.”
“Mom, just leave this matter to Armand,” said Samantha. She had stepped out to smooth things over. She held onto Harriet’s
arm and said, “You’re tired. Let me help you up to rest.” Harriet glared at Armand and sneered, “Right. He has his way of doing
things. There’s no need for an old lady like me to take charge.” With that, she let Samantha help her, and they both went up to
the second floor. In the living room, the housekeepers lowered their breathing rates even more. They saw Armand sitting at the
end of the couch with his wrist on his knees. He looked casual, but the cold aura he exuded was terrifying. After a while, Armand
asked flatly, “Who treated Mdm. Genevieve’s wounds?” “I-It’s me.” A younger female housekeeper stepped out from the crowd of
housekeepers. She was the one who had served Genevieve beef pie last night. Armand looked at her. “Is she injured badly?”
“Her burns are severe. Both her legs, from her thighs to her calves, were burnt red. Some parts had blisters too.” The
housekeeper could not help but shudder as she recalled the horrific sight. If there are blisters on her burns, then it must be
serious. Armand thought about how the woman looked at him calmly, yet she must have put a lot of effort into suppressing the
pain she felt in both legs. His throat tightened after hearing what the housekeeper said. “Did she leave with the doctor?” “Mdm.
Genevieve did not want me to call the doctor.” The housekeeper thought for a while and added, “But she called Mr. Patrick. I
think they went to the hospital together.” After hearing that, Armand’s furrowed brows relaxed a little. He waved and called the
other housekeeper, Mandy. “Mandy, repeat what you just told Old Mrs. Faulkner.”
