Chapter 519
“I found it wien I was investigating Jack in Dartan.” Cooper explained. However, all I had was al picture
back then. I couldn’t find out her name or who she was. That’s why I never showed it to you until I went
to Xedells to see Samantha. It was when I saw you asking her about the picture You were holding that I
learned the woman was your mother.”
Tapping on the photo, Cooper continucal, “I don’t know hier nunc, but I found the picture in a place that
lack had lived in before. When I confronteel Gonic about wlicther she married Jack for this woman’s
sake, she said that she would tell me about it one day.”
Cooper had always been known to be intelligent.
Just by connecting the dots, he could piccc together what had happened.
Adjusting his spectacles, he informed Armand in a grave tone, “My guess is that you and Jack might be
closely related. There’s a possibility that you might even be… brothers.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA tremble in his hand caused Armand to drop the cigarette he was holding. “Are you kidding me?”
Cooper snorted before sneering in reply. “Would you have imagined that I was Samantha Faulkner’s
son and that we would turn out to be cousins? Anything can be possible.”
After observing Armand for a few seconds, he added, “Upon closer inspection, you do resemble
Jack.”
Armand’s lips twitched at the words.
If someone had randomly told him that his father had an affair that resulted in a child, he wouldn’t be
surprised at all.
However, Cooper’s theory had flooded him with inexplicable emotions.
At that moment, the phone he left on the table rang.
Putting it to his ear, he spoke to the caller for a few minutes before ending the call and informing
Cooper, “It’s from the prison. Marilyn is dead.”
Cooper asked, “How did she die?”
“Her gastrointestinal tract was bleeding. By the time she was sent to the infirmary at dawn, she was
already done for.” Armand took another puff of his cigarette
“Dying after only four years in prison? She sure got away casy.” Behind his spectacles, an icy glint
flashed in Cooper’s eyes. “Coincidentally, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Arirand grunted, “Go ahead.”
“When you were hospitalized in Jadeborough General Hospital ten years ago due to the explosion, the
person you met was Genev, not Marilyn.”
Stupefied, Armand froze for a long time. “What do you mean?”
Cooper, too, pulled out a cigarette and stuck it between his lips as he gradually elaborated. “Marilyn
had falsely claimed that it was her. Genev knew about it from the very beginning but didn’t tell you. She
had made a deal with Marilyn to keep it a secret in exchange for the violin.”
“In that case, why did she give Marilyn the ring too?” Armand questioned, still in shock.
Cooper scoffed. “Armand, just put yourself in her shoes. Back then, she had just suffered a miscarriage
and learned that she was nothing but a tool. How would you feel if you were her? Besides, didn’t Old
Mrs. Faulkner give the ring to her? Genev is giving both of you her blessing by giving it to Marilyn.”
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t like Marilyn?” Armand retorted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, he had assumed that Marilyn was the girl in the hospital. Later on, not only did he realize he
had no feelings for her after getting together, but he was also filled with a sense of inexplicable
disappointment.
If Samuel, who had sacrificed his life for Armand, hadn’t told him to take care of Marilyn and the child,
he would never have bothered with her.
No wonder I have this strange feeling every time I see Genevieve.
In fact, he was surprised by the sudden impulse he felt when he saw Genevieve in the street the year
she got married.
It turned out that they had met cach other long ago.
“Even though you don’t like Marilyn, you still hurt Genev indirectly.” After a brief pause, Cooper
remarked sarcastically. “If I hadn’t been blinded by vengeance back then, you wouldn’t have even had
the chance.”
Before the incident, he was the one Genevieve loved. Unfortunately, he ended up destroying her
dreams with his own hands.
As a result, he had hurt her just as much as Armand had.
After throwing Armand a glance, he continued in a deep voice, “After being married to Jack, Genev
could have lived the rest of her life happily in Dartan. So, why did she come back after so many years?
Armand, do you really not know?
