However, she knew that it was not the right occasion that day, as she would be the one embarrassed if she were to demand an explanation from Armand and rage at him.

Genevieve took a deep breath to suppress her overwhelming anger and smiled at Armand. “Yes, we got a divorce a few years ago. Since I've run into you today, Mr. Faulkner, I came to say hello as we were once married.”

Glancing down, Genevieve saw Sally clutching the man's arm, but her smile did not falter. “You two look so intimate. Are you married?”

Armand gulped but said nothing.

Instead, Sally was the one to answer after a sideway glance at him. “No, but it would not be long until our wedding,” she said breezily.

Would not be long before their wedding.

Genevieve almost fell over from a bout of dizziness. Biting the tip of her tongue hard, she used the pain to remain conscious and firm on her feet.

“Then let me congratulate you in advance, Ms. Loake.” Genevieve raised her glass at Sally.


After she took a sip of wine, her gaze grew cold as she glanced at the snuggling couple before her once more. “Excuse me, Ms. Loake, for departing ahead of time. It's also my children's birthday today. Their father died after they were born, you see. I cannot miss this year, as I've always celebrated their birthday with them.”

Sally was taken aback. “Wish the kids a happy birthday for me,” she said a moment later.

“I'll be sure to convey the message.” Genevieve smiled before turning around to retrieve her purse from her table.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Harry stood up and followed her.

Genevieve lost her composure once she exited the hotel. Even her eyes were red.

She then fished her phone out of her purse to call Cooper. “Has Armand been injected with Curb.emotion afterward, Coop?”

“He was jabbed during the antidote trial,” Cooper answered. “There were two vials of Curb.emotion's new formula. One was used on him, and the other on Sylvie. All the information on the research had been burned.”

The old professors who had synthesized the drug signed non-disclosure agreements. They would not dare expose information about the research even if they remembered anything.

Genevieve hung up, feeling as though her heart had plummeted.

Since there is nothing wrong with Armand, why did he seem so calm when he saw me?

Genevieve flung her purse into the rain and walked down the stairs.

In a matter of seconds, she was soaked to the bone, as it was pouring outside the hotel. She stood quietly under the downpour like a statue.

When Harry caught up to her, he found Genevieve standing under the rain and hurriedly opened a large umbrella he found in the corner.
