Genevieve and Armand stayed with Herbert at the Zeigler residence for three days. When Genevieve was on the phone with her two children, she got them to greet Herbert as “Great-grandpa.” Amanda didn't know why, but she still did as told. Her tone was so sweet that Herbert was utterly delighted by it.

It wasn't until Armand had work to do that both of them returned to Jadeborough.

When Herbert wanted to send them to the airport, Genevieve didn't know how to react. “Granddad, it's not like we're never going to see each other again. Besides, you can video call me whenever you miss me. Also, you can come to visit me in Jadeborough once you've fully recovered.”

“That goes without saying, as I must visit those two little sweeties of mine.” Just thinking about Amanda's adorable face alone filled Herbert with the urge to quickly recover.

After glancing at the man behind Genevieve, Herbert reminded, “If Armand bullies you in any way, you must remember to tell me.”

“Granddad, you overestimate me.” Armand wrapped his arms around Genevieve's shoulders and broke into a wry smile. “I'm ranked fourth at home. In fact, I'm always at the receiving end of any bullying at home.”

“Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?” Herbert snorted.

The couple arrived in Jadeborough at three in the afternoon.

When Armand mentioned that someone was picking them up, Genevieve assumed it to be Steven.

Therefore, she was surprised to see Sally leaning against the car when she exited the terminal.

Sally was dressed in a black shirt and a pair of pants that accentuated her long slender legs. On her feet were a pair of black three-inch heels. Coupled with her obsidian black hair, she exuded an aloofness that was strangely alluring.

When Genevieve realized that Armand was leading her toward Sally, she turned toward him. “Do you want to explain what's going on?”

Previously, Sally—in her attempt to force Genevieve to stay away from Armand—had attacked Specter Corporation behind the scenes, where even her employees were not spared. Furthermore, Sally had almost humiliated her at the café too.

So why did Armand get her to pick us up?

After opening the car door for Genevieve to get in, he loaded the trunk with their luggage.

When Armand joined her in the car, he explained, “There's no way I can be by your side twenty-four seven. Therefore, I hired Sally to be your bodyguard.”

Staring furiously at Armand, Genevieve questioned through gritted teeth, “Why can't you hire a different bodyguard? Why does it have to be her?”

I don't know what this idiot was thinking when he hired my romantic rival to be my bodyguard.

“The other bodyguards are all males and can't protect you in the restroom.” Sally adjusted the rearview mirror and threw the grim-looking Genevieve a glance through it.

She added, “I was never interested in Armand, so don't assume that I'm your romantic rival.”

“I remember that it wasn't too long ago that you sent me a wedding invitation, saying that you are getting married to him in October.” Genevieve sniggered. “If you've no feelings for him, why are you marrying him?”

When Genevieve realized that Armand was leading her toward Sally, she turned toward him. “Do you want to explain what's going on?”

“Becouse he holds something thot belongs to my mon,” Solly replied motter-of-foctly. “Also, he wonts to moke you leove in spite.”

As Solly chonged geors, the cor quickly occeleroted ond sped toword the highwoy.

Her voice remoined frosty. “If I reolly wos interested in Armond, I would investigote everyone oround him. In foct, you won't even hove the chonce to see him, let olone come to my birthdoy porty.”

Genevieve obviously knew thot with Solly's fother's position, she could eosily occess oll the informotion reloted to ony citizen.

Throwing Armond o glonce, Genevieve felt o sudden roge descend upon her.

Moving owoy from him, she worned, “Don't touch me or tolk to me todoy! You ore the biggest jerk in the entire world. Do you enjoy moking me jeolous so much?”

Just when Armond wos obout to respond, he quickly bit his tongue when Genevieve's eorlier worning floshed ocross his mind.

Wotching the scene in the bockseot through the reorview mirror, Solly cleored her throot. “Armond, weren't you olwoys invincible in front of me? Why ore you ofroid of soying onything now?”

“He isn't ofroid of speoking. He just feels guilty!” Genevieve sneered.
