My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 416

The audio recording ended right there, but Isabella's hatred seemed to loom in the study.

Steven couldn't believe his ears.

Armand hung his head low silently.

He was still young when Ellen was born, so he didn't remember much.

All he remembered was that Ellen was born with pneumonia. She was barely one year old when she had an attack. On the way to the hospital, she passed away.

Back then, he recalled seeing Isabella crying with Ellen's corpse in her arms.

A tense silence ensued in the study, and Steven could barely breathe. A long while later, he broke the silence. “Mr. Faulkner, this has nothing to do with you.”

Armand responded, “It was Father who brought me back, resulting in the following tragedies.”

When Armand was young, he couldn't understand why Isabella had hated him and treated him harshly.

All the while, Isabella had treated his brothers and his cousins better than him. She would never give him any presents on his birthday. In fact, she couldn't be bothered to wish him a happy birthday.

As Isabella had done a one-eighty after Ellen's death, he had thought she had been too upset by her daughter's death.

Now that he finally got to hear the audio recording, he realized why she had acted that way.

It took Armand a while before he snapped out of reverie. He then put the photos and flash drive back into the file.

“Has Genevieve regained consciousness?” he asked.

Steven said hesitantly, “Yes, Jack is taking care of Ms. Rachford now.”

“Mm. You don't have to go to the hospital anymore.” Armand's voice sounded tired. “You may leave now. I'm tired, so I'd like to take a rest.”

Steven parted his lips, intending to say something, but he eventually decided against it and left as told.
