My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 490

“If you're bored, let me read you the financial news.” Just as Genevieve touched the phone on the table, her daughter gave her a call.

She took the phone out of the ward before answering the call, “Can't you just sleep at night, Sweetie?”

“But it's not time for bed yet.” Amanda whined, “I miss you so much, Mommy.”

“I miss you too,” Genevieve said sweetly.

She gave her daughter two kisses through the phone. “Daddy is hurt and I have to take care of him for some time, so I can't accompany you.”

Hearing that, Amanda asked anxiously, “Why is Daddy hurt? Is it serious?”

“Yes, very serious.” At the thought of Armand's gunshot wound, Genevieve's beautiful eyes narrowed.

She then asked gently, “Is Mr. Valentine home, Sweetie?”

“Yes. He came back today to have dinner with us!”

After chatting with her daughter, Genevieve walked to the window at the end of the corridor and dialed Jack's number.

The call soon got through. “What's up?” he asked with a smile.

“You have eyes all over Jadeborough. How's it possible that you don't know what happened?” Genevieve asked rhetorically, “Was that person sent by you?”

Jack fell silent for a moment. “Do you not trust me at all, Genev?”

She was rendered speechless.

“Yes. I know that you were kidnapped by Mr. Wasco's wife.” He continued, “But she's very cunning and knows how to take the road without surveillance. When my men finally found you guys, they saw you and Cooper taking Armand to the hospital. Only through them did I find out that he was injured. Since I've promised you, Genev, I will never break it.”

Genevieve held the phone in silence.

She knew that Jack was cruel and cunning to others, but he never once broke his promises to her.

She pursed her lips. “Knowing that it has nothing to do with you is enough.”

“I'll have someone take care of Mr. Wasco and his wife for you,” Jack said in a deep voice.

Although he was not at the scene and was unsure of what was going on, the fact that Armand was seriously injured alone meant that the matter was serious.

However, Genevieve turned him down. “No need. I'll take care of it myself.”

It wasn't Mr. Wasco and his wife who caused Armand's gunshot wound. Moreover, I don't like Jack handling matters by taking lives, no matter how big or small the matter was.

Their target was me, but why did they shoot Armand? When I was held hostage by Brenda, I was only a few steps away from the cliff. If they had shot me, I would have died undoubtedly.

Looking at the man lying in the hospital bed, she uttered in frustration, “Back then, I took pity on Mr. Wasco's daughter, so I went to teach her violin. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's all my fault...”

“It's not your fault. The person truly wanted to make a move on you, and you couldn't defend yourself,” said Cooper.

“Mr. Wasco has offered to transfer thirty percent of his company's shares to you in the hope that we could resolve this matter in private and let his wife off the hook.”

Genevieve was taken aback by his words.

She figured that those were all the shares Jan had.

If I get the shares and work with another shareholder to kick Mr. Wasco out in the future, the company will no longer be his. Is he offering his company to protect his wife?

Genevieve suddenly recalled Landon's words during the time they had a meal at Golden Restaurant.

“Businessmen like me and Mr. Wasco dare not say that we aren't hungry for wealth and power, nor dare to hand over our lives and company to someone else.”

But now, Mr. Wasco's approach is so much like Armand's...
