Chapter 508 She Transferred The Money “Genev.” Cooper turned to Genev and said kindly, “Can we go for a walk downstairs? I have something to discuss with you in private.” “Sure.” Genevieve nodded and left Jack waiting for her. Cooper led Genevieve downstairs and bought two bottles of mineral water from the vending machine. He opened one of the bottles and gave it to Genevieve. Genevieve realized she was thirsty. She drank a couple of mouthfuls of water and replaced the bottle cap before asking Cooper, “Coop, what would you like to talk about?” Cooper gave her his phone. “You should look at this first.” Genevieve accepted his phone and saw a screenshot of a news article.
The news broke out at around eight or nine o’clock last night. It said Sylvie slept with a bigwig who invested in Gustav’s film to get the female lead role. Photos and videos were spreading around. Furthermore, rumors said Sylvie was pregnant. Genevieve was stunned and turned to Cooper. “Isn’t she pregnant with Armand’s child?” She witnessed Sylvie staying in Armand’s room at the hotel that night. Later, Jermaine said Sylvie was pregnant. Thus, Genevieve thought it was from that night. “Her?” Cooper’s eyes flashed with disdain. “Armand would be out of his mind to fall for her.” As a man himself, Cooper knew well what Armand was thinking. Genevieve wondered if she had stopped having feelings for Armand.
Even when Cooper told her Armand did not have intimate relations with Sylvie and the child was not his, Genevieve did not feel anything. She returned the phone to Cooper. “Do you know the man whom they blurred out his face?” “Yes, I know him.” Cooper frequently went to business drinking parties with the man in the photo. Even though they blurred his face, Cooper could easily recognize him. Thus, Cooper answered, “He is the vice president of Beluga Media, Hugh Cabot.” Genevieve suddenly recalled something as she listened to him. “I remember Johanna wanted to arrange for Bruce to join the cast of Gustav’s film, so I asked you to speak to this Mr. Cabot.” Beluga Media not only invested in Gustav’s film, but its vice president was a good friend of Gustav. Genevieve asked abruptly, “Did Sylvie seek out Mr. Cabot on her own and sleep with him for the female lead role in Gustav’s new film?” “Yes and no.” Cooper adjusted his trousers and sat on a bench. “After Sylvie’s scandalous photos went public last night, Hugh called me and said that Sylvie and her manager, Joyce, invited him out for lunch. They requested him to put in a few good words to Gustav to help Sylvie get the female lead role. Although Hugh felt a bit frisky, he knew Sylvie’s relationship with Armand and did not dare to touch her.
He planned to only have a meal with her.” Cooper paused before continuing, “However, he did not expect Sylvie’s manager to approach him on his way to the restroom and hand a keycard to him. He thought Sylvie had offered herself to him and went to the hotel room to sleep with her. Then, he contacted Gustav and easily procured the female lead role for Sylvie.” Genevieve was astonished. “Joyce hasn’t been Sylvie’s manager since a long time ago. Why would she bring her to have dinner with Hugh?” “I don’t know about that,” Cooper said. “What I know was Hugh noticed Sylvie seemed to have taken drugs when he entered the room. He thought Sylvie was fooling around. It was only after the news broke out that Hugh realized there were surveillance cameras. Since they blurred his face in the video, it means someone wanted to bring Sylvie down.” Genevieve narrowed her eyes and asked, “Do you know who is behind this?”
“I don’t know, but I have something else to tell you.” Cooper hesitated before continuing, “While Sylvie and Hugh were in the hotel room, Joyce suddenly traveled out of Chanaea. No one knows where she is now. I asked people at the bank to investigate Joyce. They found a card under her name containing forty million. Johanna had transferred that sum to Joyce.” “What?” Genevieve was astounded. Cooper pondered before continuing, “My theory is Johanna might have contacted Joyce and asked her to arrange for Sylvie to have dinner with Hugh. After completing the matter, Johanna transferred the money to Joyce.” Genevieve recalled something after listening to Cooper. Why did Johanna tell me that Sylvie would go down soon? Also, why did Johanna want me to watch Twitter Awards Ceremony’s live stream last night? I didn’t expect Johanna to lay out plans to destroy Sylvie’s reputation.
