The more Cooper thought of the past, the worse the pain in his chest was. His voice was low when he asked, âGenev, please?â âWhatâs there to discuss?â Genevieve sneered and fixed her hair which was messy from the wind. âAbout how you killed my parents? Or about how you stole Specter Corporation from me?â Cooper was silent, although he wanted to add something. He pursed his lips and felt a bitter taste in his mouth. The reason why we are now like this is my fault. I deserve this. âCooper, please donât call me by that name anymore. It will only disgust me.â Genevieve looked at him with cold eyes, then took her luggage and left after telling Patrick, âLetâs go, Patrick.â Patrick took the other luggage and hurried behind her closely. Meanwhile, Cooper remained rooted at the spot silently. He watched as Genevieve cold-heartedly entered the airport and disappeared from his sight with a bitter smile on his face. Unexpectedly, he was reaping what he sow. Christopher, Cooperâs assistant, waited for a while longer before he pushed the latterâs luggage forward and informed cautiously, âMr. Sutton, your luggage is here.â âOkay. Call me if thereâs an emergency at the company.â Cooperâs voice was hoarse as he took the luggage, his eyes behind his glasses devoid of emotions. Christopher eyed Christopher and hesitated. â⦠Yes.â After passing Cooper the coat, Christopher could not hold it in and said, âMr.
Sutton, should I go to Xedells in your stead? I heard from others that Mr. Faulkner is still there, and Xedells is under the Faulkner familyâs influence. If youâre there, Mr. Faulkner will receive news.â When he heard the reminder, Cooper lifted his head and glanced at Christopher. âDo you think Armand wonât know I met that person? He has eyes everywhere, so he can get information easily.â âThen⦠Why do you insist on going to Xedells?â Christopher was confused and reasoned, âThis isnât the first time you had a scandal. If anyone releases pictures, our publicity team can suppress them. Eventually, everything will be forgotten since Ms. Hall is deadâ¦â Christopher knew and kept in mind that Cooper wanted to find Erica. Therefore, he sent more people to different states to search for Erica.
Unfortunately, she was dead by the time they found her. A little while after that, someone found Cooper and showed him a few photos. From them, it looked like he obtained many benefits from Ericaâs death.
Therefore, that person wanted to make a deal with Cooper. Christopher could not help but say, âMr.
Sutton, that person is related to the Faulkner family. Itâll be akin to making Mr. Faulkner your enemy if you meet them.â âIâll handle these matters. You donât have to worry about them. Just take care of the company in my stead.â Cooper sounded solemn and impatient when he snatched his coat from Christopherâs hand. Chills ran down Christopherâs spine, and he did not dare to utter any more words.
After sending Christopher away, Cooper pushed his luggage into the airport. Once inside, he had an airline worker send it to the VIP lounge. He found a seat beside the window while waiting to board the plane. Cooper took out his phone and saw a beautiful smile greeting him once unlocking his screen.
The female in the picture was smiling in the direction of the camera. Her eyes crinkled from the smile, and they were twinkling with stars. When Cooper hired people to take care of the Rachford family, all items related to Genevieve were disposed of back then. However, he had been searching for them like crazy ever since he came out of the police station. Nevertheless, everything related to the Rachford family, including Genevieveâs things, was sent to the junkyard and incinerated. The picture he had now was one she took with his phone during their engagement. It had remained in his old phoneâs storage and was the only thing left of their relationship. While he stared at that smiling face, he deftly touched the edge of the screen. The longer he stared, the more agony he felt, and remorse filled his mind. He understood what Christopher meant and knew evidence from a dead person was invalid. However, he did not want Genevieve to see those photos. Perhaps it was because of his selfishness that Cooper wanted to cooperate with that person. Maybe when Armand is ruined, Genevieve will come back to me.
