Chapter 674
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 is 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 “reationship. 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?” “Nope. I believe Armand didn’t know either.” The man held Johanna’s hand, brought it near his lips, and left a peck on it: “But now that we’ve talked about it, I realized Genev indeed wasn’t acting normally previously. However, Steven has gone overseas to settle some matters. We can ask him when he’s back.” Johanna withdrew her hand from Timothy’s grip as the stubbles on his chin were prickling her and making her itch. “You’re buddies with Mr. Faulkner for so many years. What do you think of him as a person?” “Iles a boring old man. Ile always puts on that aloof look, almost as if he’s fearless even if the world is ending” Johanna probed, “What about his Work attitude” “Rather meticulous, I’d say. Do you still remember that car accident?”. Timothy asked. “Armand has preplanned everything to let Genevieve deal with the Wood family personally I only got to know this later too.” Of course, Johanna knew about that. She reckoned Armand must love Genevieve deeply. Otherwise, he would not have sacrificed everything and risked his life. A sudden revelation seemed to dawn upon Johanna, and she turned to look at Timothy at once. “It’s fake.” “Huh?” Timothy looked at her in puzzlement. “What is fake? You mean that car accident?” Heaving a deep sigh, Johanna rubbed Timothy’s face. “No wonder Mr. Sutton can get you to reveal your credit card pin with just a few glasses of alcohol. Dr. Jensen, it seems like being a doctor is the only profession that fits you.” Timothy felt a little aggrieved when he realized that his wife was subtly trying to imply that he had a low IQ. Just then, he received a call from his department “You go ahead and work.” Johanna waved her hand in dismissal. “I’ll continue to enjoy some sunlight here. I’ll head back in thirty minutes.” “Let me get a nurse to come here and accompany you.” Even though there were many surveillance cameras in the hospital garden, that was still not enough to assuage Timothy’s worries as it was inconvenient for Johanna to move around while in the wheelchair. A few minutes after the man left, a silhouette entered the garden and walked toward Johanna.
