My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Like Throwing Sheep To the Wolves

Aware that Armand was there, Steven quietly checked out of the hotel and returned to Jadeborough first thing in the morning.

Armand did not wake Genevieve either. He waited for her to rouse on her own with everything packed. All that was left to do was to have breakfast at the hotel's diner before they headed to the airport.

While waiting for their flight, Armand passed his phone along to Genevieve.

On it was a message sent to Armand from the relevant authorities. It conveyed to him that the free-trade zone slated to be extended to Willowbank was to be demarcated to Quocester instead.

That meant to say that plans for the high-speed train system and airport that were to be built in Willowbank would also be shifted to Quocester accordingly as well.

A cold glint flashed across Genevieve's eyes while she sniggered inside. “The whole of Wood Group was over the moon in the belief that they had hit the jackpot. Now, that piece of land they are sitting on would be worth nada.”

What is the point of Xavier buying up that plot to build a film studio there? Without the infrastructural support like the high-speed train around it, there's no way that's going to fly. Xavier is surely going to lose the Wood family's entire fortune on this big gamble.

After landing in Jadeborough, Genevieve still had some things she needed to see to at the office. Hence, she asked the driver to send Armand home first.

Going through the newsfeed, she saw many media outlets following the Wood Group's land acquisition with keen interest. Prior to that, the Wood Group had borrowed several billion’s worth from the bank. Should the banks realize how worthless that plot of land was and how far the Wood Group was in debt, they would surely press Xavier for payment.

While this was happening, both the Wood family and Wood Group remained none the wiser.

When the car arrived at Central Group's building, Genevieve was about to step inside when a silhouette rushed up and grabbed her by the arm.

Forcefully, Genevieve jerked her arm free. That was when she had a good look at the woman in front of her.

Although Marilyn looked a shade of her former self, that air of arrogance had not deserted her. She had a lightly insulated coat on despite it not being an especially hot day.

With the buttons on her coat undone, Genevieve was able to see the flatness of Marilyn's abdomen at a glance.

What happened to her baby?
