Cooper was startled for a while before he scolded coldly, “Untie me now!”

Sally grabbed Cooper's shoulders and pinned him on the carpet. Then, she leaned over and said, “I didn't have feelings for you back then, but now I do. How much is your price?”

Cooper looked at Sally in shock, for he didn't expect the seemingly aloof lady to say something like that.

“The Carlo family is targeting you and Genevieve. I can't protect you for free,” Sally said, patting the man's cheek.

Cooper sneered, “Sally, I'm not an idiot. You and the Carlo family must have grudges against each other. As such, you only want to use Genev or me to bait the core members of the Carlo family.”

Suddenly, Sally leaned closer and almost pressed her lips against his. “Cooper, you're as smart as Armand.”

When Cooper tried to turn away, Sally clasped his chin tightly to stop him from avoiding her.

She then said gently, “Don't you know Armand is now Mr. Zane's godson? My dad likes him too. They both hope that I can marry Armand.”

“I don't think Armand is so incompetent that he can't handle the matter,” Cooper replied coldly.

“Are you sure?” Sally flashed him a smile and continued, “In that case, do you want to place a bet and see if I will marry him on the first of October?”

Cooper's face darkened, for he knew Sally wasn't joking.

No matter how clever Armand was, his heart once belonged to Ethan. In other words, Armand owed the Zane family. Despite Armand's reluctance, Genevieve would agree to all conditions Sally proposed as long as Armand could stay alive.


After coming to his senses, Cooper gazed at Sally and asked, “What do you want?”

“Don't you know what I want? After all, you're a clever man.” Sally smiled and bent over to kiss his lips.

Slowly, she pulled the necktie around Cooper's wrist to untie him.

The next moment, Cooper rolled over and pinned Sally on the carpet. After staring at her for a few seconds, he leaned in to kiss her ferociously.

When Genevieve woke up, she realized the other side of the bed was empty. Thinking that Armand had probably left for quite some time, she yawned and got out of bed to freshen herself up.

After getting out of the bathroom, she grabbed her phone from the nightstand and saw Cooper's message.

Cooper told her those who targeted her on the cruise ship were related to the Carlo family. Hence, he wanted her to ask Jack if his godfather's thugs had grudges with the mafia of the Carlo family.

Mafia.

Genevieve, who was descending the stairs, paused in her tracks once she saw the word. At the same time, she recalled the man she saw when she was thrown into the sea. He was leaning against the railing, smoking as he wore an indifferent expression.

Is he related to the Carlo family?

As Genevieve was deep in thought, Amanda skipped downstairs happily and saw her mother standing motionlessly. The little girl asked curiously, “Mommy, why have you stopped walking?”

Genevieve kept her phone away and answered, “To wait for my sweetie, of course!”

After coming to his senses, Cooper gazed at Sally and asked, “What do you want?”

Amondo wos weoring o red ond white suspender dress with o cute cortoon picture printed on it. She looked like o little princess with curly hoir droped over her shoulders ond o chubby, odoroble foce.
