Then, Lucian stood up and tossed the tissue into the trash can. “Some of the coffee stains have already penetrated into the shoe and can't be wiped off anymore.”

Lifting his head, he said to Genevieve, “Mommy, give this lady some money to buy a pair of new shoes.”

The urge to hug her son and give him a hearty smacker gripped Genevieve in gratitude for his timely arrival and defense of her dignity.

She took out a thick stack of bills from her bag and slid it over to Sally.

Meanwhile, Sally's expression gradually darkened at the derailment of her plan.

Without even sparing the stack of bills a glance, she got to her feet. “Genevieve, you're not my match in all aspects, so don't displease me anymore. If you dare get all intimate again with the man I fancy, bankrupting Specter Corporation is the least I’ll do!”

Before Genevieve could respond, Lucian flashed Sally an adorable smile. “It's only a man, miss. Just take him if you so wish to do so. My mommy doesn't give a fig when there are tons of men yearning to be her husband. But miss, if you make my mommy cry in the future, I'll be settling the score with you.”

His voice was childlike, but his eyes were jet-black, and he was exceedingly serious as he spoke.

Thus, Sally had no doubt he would take revenge on her if she were to cause Genevieve to shed tears.

Sneering, she whipped out a wedding invitation from her bag and placed it on the table. “Do come with your children at that time.”

Subsequently, she strode past Genevieve and Lucian before leaving the coffee shop.

Genevieve opened the envelope and took out a red wedding invitation. It was stated clearly on the wedding invitation that Armand and Sally were getting married at a hotel on 1st October.

Glimpsing the contents of the wedding invitation, Lucian frowned. “Daddy is going a little overboard.”

I read the letter he wrote back then, so I knew he had no choice but to leave us. But he's going to marry another woman in a few months. Not only is he hurting us, but he's also hurting Mommy badly.

“Is he just going a little overboard?” With a snort, Genevieve chucked the wedding invitation into the trash can.

Bending down, she cradled her son's face and planted two smackers on him. “You're really my darling son, Lucian! If it weren't for you, I would've lost my dignity today.”

Lucian's face almost went out of shape from her kneading. After expending much effort, he finally managed to break free.

He went to the counter and got his coffee before leaving the coffee shop with Genevieve. When they had gotten into the car, he couldn't help asking, “What exactly is going on, Mommy?”

“Your father said he wants to take care of Sally and told me to regard him as a stranger when I bump into him in the future. As you can see, he's going to marry Sally,” Genevieve answered calmly while driving.

Sally's sabotage of Specter Corporation and their conversation that day enlightened her of Armand's intentions.

It was because he knew that Sally wasn't one to be messed with that he wanted me to regard him as a stranger. But I'm really irate that he said he wanted to take care of her nor can I understand that either!

Following that, Lucian snagged Genevieve's phone. “I'll give Daddy a call to clarify things.”
