Within minutes, Johanna managed to explain to Timothy about the motive behind Genevieve's departure and return.
Being a doctor for decades, the man had always been calm and composed at the operation table. No matter how risky and tedious an operation was, he would still be able to save his patients every time without fail.
However, at this point, he was left in shock and could not regain his senses after hearing what Johanna said.
“Hey, seriously? It's not like it's happening to you. Is there really a need to look so shocked?” Johanna patted Timothy's cheeks.
He picked up a cherry and fed it to her. “It was shocking enough when I learned about Armand and Cooper's relationship. I can't believe there's more shocking news after that. No wonder Jack always looks so unhappy when he sees Armand...”
He remained visibly stumped as he continued, “Armand's dad is honestly on another level. It makes me feel like my identity as a wealthy heir is fake.”
Cesar had a third wife because of an arranged marriage for the sake of a business alliance. It was no wonder he had so many children with three wives. Not only that, but he also had an ex-girlfriend, who gave birth to Armand while they were still together, and later moved abroad and gave birth to Jack after a remarriage.
In Timothy's case, his parents were also married for the sake of a business alliance. Even though his mother had passed a long time ago, Jeremiah did not find himself another woman and create a mass of offspring.
It was until many years later that his father got married to Vanessa.
With her head lowered, Johanna grabbed Timothy's hand and fiddled with it repeatedly. It almost seemed like she was in a daze.
The man inched closer to her and asked, “What is it, Babe?”
“Nothing.” Johanna quickly forced herself to perk up. “The purpose of Genev's return this round isn't simply because of her bet with Jack. There's actually another matter. She found out that Charice isn't dead.”
Then, she told Timothy everything that had happened. The latter was baffled. “Why did she fake her death and abandon Jack? If she merely wanted to stimulate Jack's hatred so that he would return to seek revenge for her, why did she still choose to remain in the dark now that Cesar and his wives have died and Faulkner Group has also become Jack's?”
Johanna answered, “Genev and I talked about that too, but we couldn't figure out the reason either.”
“Could it be that...” Timothy was bold with his conjecture. “Charice died unexpectedly later, and that's why you guys couldn't find her?”
That's definitely a possibility.
Johanna smacked Timothy on his thigh and voiced with displeasure, “Timothy, weren't you always with Mr. Faulkner in the past? Did he not mention anything about his family to you?”
