Armand couldn't hold himself back and delivered another punch to Timothy's face.

He hollered angrily, “Timothy, you must be nuts! If Genev didn't coincidentally save Johanna in Xedells back then, do you think you can get to know her and end up with her?”

“You want to settle scores, huh? Sure!” Timothy grabbed Armand's clothes and roared, “We've been friends for decades. Have I ever denied helping you? If it weren't for me, would you still be together with Genevieve? If I hadn't done everything I could to seek aid for Mandy, she would be dead by now! Even if my wife does owe Genevieve one, I've returned the favor in full!”

They were squabbling when the sky turned dark without warning. It started raining, and both men were soon drenched from the rain.

Timothy wiped the rain away from his eyes and choked out, “Armand, you have children, but so do I. My daughter isn't even one year old yet. You love Genevieve, but so does Jack. She is also protected by Cooper and her granddad, but my wife doesn't have anyone.”

He demanded, “My wife did nothing wrong. Why was she dragged into someone else's matter? Why does she have to suffer? According to you, Zephyr is a sly man. He's also part of the ruthless mafia. Do you know how worried I was after he kidnapped her? I'm afraid he'll hurt her. I'm literally going crazy imagining all the possibilities. All I want is to get her back.”

Armand had no idea that it was Zephyr who brought Johanna away secretly.


After a short silence, he said, “I understand your feelings, but you can't use Genevieve to get Johanna back. I'll go to Lostaria and get Johanna back instead.”

Timothy sneered, “This should be between Genevieve and Zephyr. Otherwise, Zephyr wouldn't have kidnapped Jojo. You won't contribute anything by going there.”

He paused before asking, “Armand, do you think Genevieve's life is more important than my wife's?”

“I've never thought that way. Besides, you know what Genevieve went through!” Armand hissed as his eyes turned red. “Do you want to force her off the edge again?”

Genevieve had been through a lot, so Armand would never allow her to fall into another bottomless pit.

Timothy stood there, his expression as cold as winter.

Armand wiped the rainwater off his face and belatedly realized Genevieve had climbed out of the car. Her hair and clothes were partially wet as she gazed at them, sorrow evident in her gaze.

Without hesitation, Armand strode over to her, wanting to ask her to get into the car, but Genevieve flung her arms around him and gave him a tight hug.

Armand lowered his head and hugged her quietly.

A while later, Genevieve released her grip and said to Timothy in a low voice, “I'll head to Lostaria and bring Jojo back. Mando will send me to the airport.”

Timothy knew Genevieve was no longer hypnotized, so he got into his car and left.
