Chapter 189 I Do Not Want You To Stay Here
When Genevieve walked out of the hospital, it was drizzling outside.
Only after she got in the car did she take out her phone to message Patrick and ask him why he had
called her.
He did not reply to her after a long time, so she reckoned he was probably busy.
Upon glancing at the time on her phone, she clicked into WhatsApp and texted Armand: Sir, are you
back at Jadeborough?
He replied quickly: I just got off the plane, but I need to head to the office first.
With a smile on her face, she responded: Grandma messaged me one hour ago to tell us to go to the
Faulkner residence for dinner tonight. I just came out of the hospital, and I’ll go to the Faulkner residence
to keep her company in a while.
Armand: Is your body okay?
Genevieve: I told Dr. Jensen I would return to the hospital for my admission around nine in the evening.
Accompany me to the hospital. By the way, don’t leave after you reach your office. I prepared a surprise
for you.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArmand: Okay.
After her conversation with him ended, she quit Whatsapp and looked at the time on her phone again.
At the thought of the present on the way to his office and the scheduled post on Twitter, she looked
forward to seeing his expression.
While holding her phone, she smiled. Then, she started the car and headed toward the Faulkner
residence.
The car Marilyn sat in drove past the road lined with sycamore trees and finally stopped in the Faulkner
residence’s open-air parking lot.
After she got out of the car, she looked in the direction of the principal house.
On the day when she took the injection that aided in preventing miscarriage, she returned home very
quickly once her condition stabilized.
That meant she had not come to the Faulkner residence for almost a month. Harriet also did not call her
to check on her.
Yet, the elderly woman personally called her an hour ago, inviting her to the Faulkner residence.
“Mdm. Marilyn.”
After Marilyn entered the residence, a housekeeper took over the umbrella and bag in her hands and
brought her to the study upstairs.
A smile touched her lips when she walked into the study and saw Harriet sitting on the couch with a
dignified bearing.
Very quickly, she walked over and asked, “Grandma, why did you invite me over…”
Only when she got closer to the couch did she notice there were a few items on the coffee table.
Instantly, her eyes widened.
Harriet cast an impassive glance at her before pointing to the couch next to her.
After Marilyn sat down, she said, “I gave a call to the residence at Xedells. Return to Xedells this
afternoon and stay there. Don’t ever come back to Jadeborough.”
“Grandma, what do you mean by this?” Marilyn stared at the elderly woman as her hands unconsciously
grabbed the armrest tightly.
“Marilyn, you were married to Samuel. Your relationship with Armand ended a long time ago. Therefore, I
don’t want you to stay in Jadeborough any longer.” Harriet spoke with authority.
Upon hearing Harriet’s words, Marilyn could not maintain a calm expression. “That’s not right! I dated
Armand for thirteen years. I should have married him!”
“Are you getting angry at me?” Harriet asked calmly, her gaze sharp. “When you got together with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSamuel, I came to find you and asked you to think about it carefully. It was you who chose Samuel and
gave up on your relationship with Armand.”
“No, I didn’t…”
Marilyn was stumped for words, then tried to explain. “I was forced. I didn’t want to marry Samuel…”
Harriet questioned, “Who forced you? Was it your parents? Even if your mother tried to force you into the
marriage, it’d be pointless if you refused to marry Samuel. Do you think I don’t understand your
personality? Marilyn, you’re too greedy. You felt that Armand didn’t spend much time with you, and he
might not be able to get the right of succession to the Faulkner family. You thought you might not be able
to solidify the standing of the Wood family in Xedells if you marry him, and he might not be able to
provide you with everything you wanted. As a result, you had a change of heart and got together with
Samuel as you relished how well he treated you.”
Glancing at Marilyn, whose face had turned pale, she continued, “I knew from the start that Samuel liked
you. However, he repressed his feelings deep in his heart because of your relationship with Armand. He
even came to me. He told me that he wanted to get married and wanted me to make the arrangements
for him, yet you intervened. Samuel was willing to do anything for you. By making use of his post, he
gave many huge projects to your family and helped your father expand his relationship network…”
Harriet tried to suppress her anger as she said, “He loved you so deeply, yet you made a scheme and
killed him!”
