My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Putting On A Show For Her

After grabbing the device, Armand noticed that there was an ongoing video call on it.

“Mando, don’t you dare touch Genevieve! I forbid you from laying a finger on her!” shrieked Marilyn when she saw Armand over the call.

When the man stayed silent, Marilyn burst into tears before resorting to begging. “Please, Mando. Just listen to me, okay?”

Following that, Armand heard the panicked voice of Marilyn’s housekeeper. “W-What’s wrong, Mdm. Marilyn? Are you okay?”

The sounds coming from the other end of the line were enough to tell Armand the sheer chaos that had erupted there.

Still, Armand decided that it was none of his business. After ending the call, the man turned to Genevieve, who remained on the bed, and stared at her with his deep-set eyes. “Why were you on a video call with Marilyn?”

“She called me when you were taking your shower and refused to believe that we’re together,” explained Genevieve after sitting up on the bed and crossing her legs, pretending to be innocent. “She insisted that we do a video call.”

In response, Armand leaned in to place his hand on the back of Genevieve’s head and yanked the woman close.

“Is that why you kissed me on purpose? Were you trying to put on a show for her?” Armand wanted to strangle Genevieve when he realized what she was doing just then.

Genevieve shuddered when she felt Armand’s breath on her cheek. “Marilyn insisted that we have a video call, and I didn’t know how to turn her down.” The woman gazed at Armand with her puppy-dog eyes as she continued to defend herself.

After pausing for a while, she continued, “It sounded like something’s going on with Marilyn’s baby. Don’t you think you should go check on her?”

Armand tightened his grip on Genevieve because he knew she was trying to change the subject. “Did you start acting ever since we got back from the hospital?”

“I thought we were already acting when you first married me. Is that not so?” questioned Genevieve rhetorically. “You’re only being nice to me because you need my blood, and I’m only doing my best to please you because I need you to help me get my revenge. Does that not sit well with you? Or do you prefer that I go back to being wary of you?”

For all his years in the business world, never had Armand been bested in a negotiation.
