My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 578

Herbert knew the hardships that Sylvie had gone through and wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks as he said, “It was my fault for not being able to protect you well in the past.”

Herbert then turned to his driver and said, “Let the police deal as they see fit. Do not let others intervene in the matter.”

“Yes,” the driver said and headed out to make a call.

Sylvie's eyes were red as she muttered, “Thank you, Granddad.”

“Why are you thanking me? You're my granddaughter. How could I sit idly by and let others bully you?”

Even though Genevieve had left a good impression on him, Herbert knew he had to get his priorities straight. After all, Genevieve had bullied his granddaughter and tried to murder someone by poisoning them, and the police even had the evidence of her doing it, nonetheless.

She deserved to be convicted of her crimes if she had really committed them.

Meanwhile, after the news of Paula's poisoning had broken out, Cooper calmly contacted the best PR in the industry and utilized other news to divert the attention from the alleged poisoning.

He could not care less about the plummeting share prices. In fact, Cooper was more concerned that Genevieve would be lynched at the police station.

Cooper asked someone to keep an eye on the golf course while he drove to the police station. However, he was stopped by a Rolls-Royce when he arrived at the entrance of the police station.

Steven came out of the car and knocked on Cooper's window with a grim look on his face. “Mr. Sutton, I'm afraid you cannot go to the police station right now.”

“There is incriminating evidence that Ms. Rachford has indeed poisoned Mrs. Hossler. Word trending on the internet has it that you're going to use your influence to wriggle Genevieve out of this. There are reporters swarming the police station too. Your presence there is only going to further solidify their claims, and the police will only hasten Ms. Rachford's conviction.”

Cooper's face darkened as he said, “I know that Sylvie's grandfather is also at Jadeborough. He is quite close to the chief, Mr. Forger. I'm afraid that Old Mr. Zeigler's words would worsen Genevieve's stance in the matter.”

“The whole nation has their eyes peeled on this case,” Steven said. “I trust that the police officers are wise enough to not harm Ms. Rachford.”

Cooper went silent. Noticing his silence, Steven continued, “I've called a lawyer named Mr. Thompson. He will head to the police station to ask for more details. We just have to wait.”

Cooper lifted his head right then as he leveled a gauging stare at Steven.

His sharp gaze made Steven uncomfortable.
