Chapter 84 You Dare Touch Her
Cooper narrowed his eyes as he looked at the same features he had seen for the past twenty years.
Subconsciously, he grabbed her chin and rubbed it.
“Do you know how Armand’s two previous brides died?” Cooper asked.
Genevieve swatted his hand away as she backed into the wall to put some distance between them.
“Their deaths have nothing to do with me. I don’t want to know about it.”
“Armand and I have already registered for our marriage, Cooper. I am officially his wife.” Genevieve
met his eyes and threatened, “I dare you to lift a finger against me.”
“Wife?” Cooper snorted, suppressing the surge of emotions within him. “If Armand truly treated you as
his wife, why did you let him deal with Specter Corporation instead of me?”
Cooper bent even lower, closing their distance. “You’re not capable of controlling Armand.”
Genevieve clenched her jaw as her heart sank.
Although it seemed like she was working together with Armand, she had nothing to offer in their deal,
and she had always been the weaker party.
She did not even have the right to ask Armand how he retrieved Specter Corporation.
“Perhaps Armand was attracted to your body, but this is just temporary.” Seeing the slight change in
her expression, Cooper lifted his hand and patted her cheek. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Don’t act like a naïve sixteen-year-old. The Faulkner family’s connections are more complicated than
you think. I don’t think you should get involved,” said Cooper.
He was also a businessman and knew people in the business world would not take up something that
held no profit for them.
Furthermore, Armand was a member of the Faulkner family. He could not have fallen for Genevieve,
who came from a family that had fallen from grace.
If Armand wanted a woman, countless young and beautiful women who wanted to gain social status
through him would compete to offer themselves up.
Due to the close distance, Cooper could smell a faint, milky scent laced in her hair that exclusively
belonged to young women.
It was almost impossible to compose himself.
At that moment, he only realized the shirt in Genevieve’s suit was in tatters. The first few buttons on the
shirt were torn off, causing her collar to spread apart and reveal a large patch of her fair skin.
From the angle he was looking, he could also see the light green lacy edge.
His breathing became disordered when he saw it and moved closer to her. “You did so much only to
retrieve Specter Corporation. Now, I’m giving you a chance. Do you want it?”
“Let go of me, Cooper…” Genevieve suddenly felt dizzy, as if she was still yearning for something.
She shifted her head gingerly so that she could avoid the man’s kiss.
Cooper pinched her chin and forced her to look at him. There was a hint of something else in his eyes.
“Be my lover, and I’ll consider giving you half of Specter Corporation’s shares in the future, Genevieve.
Armand is letting you stay by his side only for his amusement. If you behave, I’ll give you everything
you want, and perhaps you will be the only woman beside me.”
He wanted her to act like before, always clinging to him while calling him “Coop.” She would always
stealthily appear to scare him and then run into his arms coquettishly. She would ask to have a meal
with him, and they would go to the city’s west side to watch the sunset.
Cooper wanted to see that obedient girl who admired and only had eyes for him.
Genevieve was forced to look at him, but the mocking look in her eyes was bone-chilling. “Are you
hungry for love because your parents passed away early, Cooper?”
Cooper stared at her frigidly.
“If you crave love, I can be your mom.” Genevieve balled her hands into fists as her nails dug deep into
her palms.
Yet, her heart was beating abnormally fast.
“Why won’t you learn to behave, Genevieve? Hmm?” He leaned closer to her, feeling her warmth on
the tip of his fingers while sniffing her faint scent greedily.
“You can’t handle a man like Armand,” he muttered as his lips grew closer to her.
Genevieve’s breathing became rapid. When she looked up, the man before her wore an indifferent
expression, and she could not help but tilt toward him.
Thus, their breathing entwined.
Cooper was captivated by her. He was so possessive of her that he did not hear the door being kicked
open. Suddenly, he felt an emptiness in his arms.
The next moment, pain coursed through his stomach as someone kicked him, and he collapsed onto
the floor.
Armand pulled Genevieve into an embrace and shot Cooper a murderous glare. “Bold of you to think
you can touch my woman.”
