In an instant, Eurydice's expression turned grim.

“Looks like you're pretty smart, Ms. Gaudette. You managed to figure out what I meant,” Armand said as he slowly stepped forward.

Eurydice felt a chill running down her spine as an overwhelming pressure loomed over her. She was so frightened that her legs turned to jelly.

“You Gaudettes are free to oppress anyone or drag anyone down in order to advance, but you shouldn't touch the Zeigler family.”

Herbert had already been badly injured, and Genevieve, his precious granddaughter, was his only pillar of support. Unfortunately, one letter from Eurydice destroyed him completely and made him fall terribly ill.

As of right now, Herbert was still in a coma in the hospital.

Recomposing herself, Eurydice refuted, “I know General Zeigler is Genevieve's granddad. Even though the Zeigler family has rejected my father countless times, I have never made a move against the Zeigler family.”

She then added, “Perhaps someone else took the matter into their own hands. I'll teach them a lesson when I get back.”

Armand chuckled. “You call the shots in the Gaudette family now, and you are also your father's trusted aide. It was you who contacted the mole at the Lostaria police station, agreed to work with Zephyr, and set up Robert and Gerald in order to drag them down. You were also the one who made a move on my child.”

Eurydice could feel goosebumps all over her body. Subconsciously, she took a few steps backward to distance herself from the man.


It was impossible for her to deceive an intelligent man like Armand. All her lies were completely exposed by him.

He fixed his cold gaze on her and said, “Considering how smart you think you are and how you assume that everything is within your control, you should pay the price for your actions.”

Looking into his eyes, Eurydice was reminded of the first time the two of them met.

In fact, they had a rather unpleasant first encounter.

That fateful day, she was supposed to head to the city council to settle some matters. However, the road suddenly caved in, causing her car to fall into the pit. It was fortunate that the pit wasn't deep, so she was unharmed.

As her door wouldn't open, someone from another car that had fallen in front of her came over to her, smashed the windowpane, and helped her out.

Eurydice felt a rumble from above just as she climbed halfway out of the car. Shortly after, many large pieces of rubble fell upon them. The man's shoulder was hit by several pieces of rubble while he attempted to protect her.

After helping her out of the pit, the man asked in a gentle voice, “Are you all right, Ms. Gaudette?”

Eurydice's heart began racing the second she lifted her head and laid eyes on the man.

It had been a long time ago, but the events that day were still fresh in her mind. The man's kindness would still make her heart flutter.

“Armand.”

Before he turned to leave, Eurydice called out to him and said bitterly, “Genevieve is far more inferior compared to me in terms of family background, appearance, and talent. Why do you like her so much?”

Men are supposed to be attracted to intelligent women who come from prominent families. Shouldn't Armand be the same as well?

Armand turned to look at Eurydice. There was an amused look on his face as if he was mocking her for saying something so absurd and ridiculous. “In terms of family background, my wife's granddad is among the top ten most outstanding generals, and not even your grandfather can compare to that. On the other hand, your appearance is practically incomparable to my wife's beauty. In terms of talent...”

Scoffing, he added, “Even you, the powerful Ms. Gaudette, are outsmarted by my wife. Do you still think you're smarter than her? You're just embarrassing yourself by trying to compare yourself to her.”
