My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258 Break His Leg

At an orphanage in Jadeborough, Sally was dressed in volunteer uniform and had her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her tall silhouette and cool demeanor immediately set her apart from the other volunteers around her.

She was standing behind the long table with a ladle in hand, plating lunch for the children who were lining up before her.

Her forehead was already covered in beads of sweat by the time she was done serving the dozens of children their helpings of food. She was about to pull off her mask to get a breather when she noticed the photographers in the distance. Changing her mind, she gave her mask an upward tug instead.

Then, she helped herself to a plate as well and went to a quiet corner to eat her lunch. She had only just sat down when her phone rang.

Glancing at the phone screen, she swiped on it to answer the call. “Hey, Dad.”

“I saw your application.” On the other end of the line, Gerald's tone was full of disapproval. “I would rather you join the navy than have you go to that hellhole.”

It was a soldier's duty to defend the country, but Sally was his only daughter. He did not want her to suffer, and he could not bear the idea of not seeing her for years on end.

Sally wedged her phone between her ear and shoulder, then took a bite of pasta. Swallowing, she said, “I was merely informing you of my decision to go. Even if you don't grant approval for it, somebody else will.”

Gerald knew how stubborn she was. Once she made up her mind, there would be no changing it. “Is this because of Ethan?”

Sally did not answer him and brusquely hung up the phone.

She should have left Jadeborough months ago, but she just could not bring herself to do it. In fact, she did not go anywhere at all. She had been staying at Cooper's condominium all this time without him knowing.

Sally knew Amanda had been discharged from the hospital after her headache was gone, and she also knew about Cooper's meeting with Tiffany.

Just as Sally was going to set her phone down, a WhatsApp notification popped up on the screen.

When she saw the words “Specter Corporation,” she clicked into the message.

She had previously joined quite a number of group texts for work purposes, and it was precisely because so much gossip and information were exchanged in these groups that she managed to keep tabs on everybody.
