FreeNovelAfter a while of scrolling the screen, Marilyn’s eyes widened, and she yelled, “That’s impossible! Old
Mrs. Faulkner likes Armand so much! She was adamant about making Armand the head of the family
even if it meant crossing the entire Faulkner family. How can Armand not be one of the Faulkners? This
must be the work of his uncle and the others.”
Marilyn knew that Peter had always been upset about how Armand’s grandmother had made Armand
in charge of Faulkner Group. Furthermore, after Armand took over the company, Armand removed all
of Peter’s power in Faulkner Group.
Therefore, how could Peter possibly not bear a grudge against Armand?
“I’ll call my brother and have him deal with the news…” Marilyn muttered as she took out her phone
from her bag.
Just as she was about to make the call, Xavier called.
“Xavier…”
Knowing what Marilyn wanted to ask, Xavier said, ”The news is real. Armand really is the escort Mirrin
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPinkard’s child with her client. Isabella had told Peter herself that she was the one who took Armand
into the family. Peter even gave me the results of Armand and Mirrin’s maternity test.”
Marilyn was dumbfounded when she registered his words. “Even if… Even if Armand isn’t Isabella’s
biological son, why would Isabella tell Peter about it herself?”
“I’m not sure, but she did tell him that herself. Now that Mirrin has stepped forward to confirm the news,
the chances of this being true are high,” Xavier said. “Everyone at Xedells knows about this by now.”
At that, Marilyn fell back onto the soft couch as she held her forehead with a hand, the look of disbelief
still on her face.
She had known Armand for fourteen years, and after their long relationship, she knew that the man
was perfect in terms of history, looks, and intellect. She could get power and status just by being with
him, and all women was envious of her.
For all that, she did not mind killing Samuel.
However, she just found out that the man she had been scheming for and even fought with Genevieve
for turned out to have such a disgusting history.
His mother’s an escort!
Marilyn knew who Mirrin was. At the young age of sixteen, Mirrin had entered the most famous club in
Xedells—Ambrosia—and became the top escort there.
Mirrin had been working in the club for twenty years, and she had slept with over a thousand men.
Marilyn was absolutely disgusted with her.
Hence, she found Armand, who was the son of Mirrin and a nameless client, even more disgusting.
He’s even worse than the beggars on the streets!
When Marilyn thought about how she was born into a prestigious family with a pure bloodline, and
when she thought about Armand’s tainted history, her stomach churned.
Thus, she quickly drank a glass of water to calm her nausea.
Then, she asked Xavier, “Armand’s not a Faulkner, but he has Faulkner Group. What are they going to
do about that?”
“There’s no way the Faulkner family would let him control Faulkner Group after finding out about his
background,” Xavier stared. “I heard that the Faulkners are contacting Faulkner Group’s shareholders
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto either kick Armand out of the company or to get Samantha take over the company.”
“What about Central Group?” Marilyn asked. “Armand was the one to establish the company, so it
doesn’t have much to do with Faulkner Group.”
Xavier sneered. “If not for the Faulkner family, where would he get the money to start Central Group?
At the end of the day, Central Group is also the Faulkners’. Uncle Peter called me earlier. He said he’ll
be bringing Samantha and the others for a shareholders’ meeting at Central Group on the day after
next. I know that Armand has already drafted the contract to give his Central Group’s shares to the
baby in your stomach. I’ve had a talk with Uncle Peter, so you’ll be going to the shareholders’ meeting
as well. As long as he gains a secure position in Central Group, the shares will still belong to you.”
“Okay,” Marilyn replied.
So what if Armand’s not a Faulkner. Even without him, the Faulkner family remains powerful and
wealthy.
Her brother, Xavier, was going to marry Peter’s daughter at the end of the year. They were going to use
the marriage to form an alliance that would benefit both the Faulkner family and the Wood family. Now
that Peter wanted to acquire Central Group, she had to lend him a helping hand.
If the Wood family gained power, she would as well.
