Chapter 31
Harriet loved everything, including the style and color, about the suits Genevieve picked out. Thus, Harriet bought all of them.
After selecting the two suits to gift Armand, Genevieve thought the neckties in the drawer looked nice, so she picked some out. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Grandma, these two neckties go well with the suits we just picked out.” As Genevieve spoke, she passed a black card to the shop assistant. She continued, “These two are gifts. Please wrap them nicely.”
“I‘ll foot the bill. How could I let you pay?” Harriet stopped Genevieve.
“Don‘t worry about it. It‘s just two ties. I haven’t even thanked you for chatting with me for so long,” said Genevieve as she pushed Harriet‘s card back to her.
“No. That won‘t do. These two are unrelated matters.”
Genevieve pondered for a moment and said, “Grandma, there‘s a boutique upstairs. Why don‘t you gift me a gown, and we‘ll call it even?”
“Okay.” Harriet finally smiled.
The boutique upstairs was a tailor shop. All of their clothes were handsewn, and they used high–quality fabric.
Harriet touched one of the gowns and was reluctant to let go.
Genevieve could tell that Harriet was interested. She took the one Harriet had her eyes on and said, “Grandma, this one suits you. Let me help you.”
Harriet was a Jazonian woman. She loved figure–hugging gowns, but she hurt her arm during an act in front of her grandson. Therefore, she could not wear a figure–hugging gown for the time being.
In the end, Harriet bought two of them and was perfectly satisfied.
When Genevieve left the mall with Harriet, the sky had begun to darken, and she received a notification on her phone.
Genevieve checked her phone and smiled. She turned to Harriet and said, “Grandma, something came up, and I need to go now. Is someone coming to pick you up, or should I call a cab for you?”
“I‘m fine. Go ahead. Someone will come and fetch me.” Harriet waved her hand.
Since Harriet had put it that way, Genevieve didn‘t probe further. She waited for Patrick to drive the car from the underground parking lot, then opened the car door and got in.
Right after Patrick‘s car left, a Mercedes–Benz stopped by the roadside.
Frankie saw Harriet carrying multiple shopping bags alone. He hurried over and took them off her hands as he said, “Old Mrs. Faulkner, why didn‘t you let the housekeepers follow you again?”
“I haven‘t called, so why are you here?” asked Harriet in surprise.
“Mr. Armand called and told me.”
Harriet got in the car and glanced at the shopping bags after Frankie put them in. She belatedly realized that Genevieve had paid for the gowns too.
“This child..” Harriet shook her head with a smile.
With curiosity, Frankie asked, “What is it?”
“Armand did a good job this time. He found a good granddaughter–in–law for me.” Harriet smiled and seemed very happy. She continued, “Out of all my granddaughters–in–law, she‘s the only likable one.”
“Didn‘t you say Ms. Rachford came from a non–reputable family?” Frankie had a look of confusion. He added, “You even asked me to prepare the money to drive her away...”
Harriet scoffed, “Can‘t I have a change of heart?”
Soon, Harriet turned her gaze to the view outside the car window. Her gaze turned sharp as she said, “As long as Armand gets married, it‘s good. What should not be coveted will not be coveted again. It‘s about time someone gives up.”
Frankie understood what Harriet meant. He answered, “Yes.” However, he sighed in his heart.
I bet things would turn ugly once the person finds out that Mr. Armand has gotten married. The person will never give up.
For the past few days, the outside world had been convinced of Erica and Cooper‘s relationship because Erica brought a child to the hospital for a consultation.
The scandal also affected Specter Corporation‘s stock prices.
Cooper wanted to prevent the scandal from causing an impact on the company. However, regardless of how much money and manpower he had expended to do so, he couldn‘t keep a lid on the news.
Furthermore, he couldn‘t find out the culprit behind all this.
That day, Cooper went to Feston for a meeting to discuss a large–scale collaboration. He was worn out when he returned to Jadeborough at night.
He had just switched on his phone when he received a text message from an unknown sender.
The text message read: Mr. Cooper, your girlfriend is now with a man in Room 2588 in Langfield Hotel.
He narrowed his eyes and thought that the room number was familiar. Langfield Hotel... Room 2588?
While heading out of the airport, he dialed Erica‘s phone number,
The call got through, but she didn’t pick up.
