Chapter 925

Armand rubbed his temples and asked tersely, “Why did you come to Baykeep?”

“I'm here to assist my uncle in his investigation regarding the contaminated beef incident.”

Half of Baykeep's population was infected by the virus due to the problematic beef. During that one month, netizens

all over the globe had paid close attention to Baykeep's situation.

Forlisle Medical invented a specific vaccine to address the endemic and stopped the spread of the virus, allowing

Baykeep's borders to be reopened. Baykeep's government had also published a report and punished those involved

in that incident.

Despite those efforts, the ones who secretly orchestrated that tragedy were not only the officials from Baykeep but

also included an external force. The purpose of Sally's current visit was to investigate that external force.

Sally sat on the chair Faith was tied to earlier, took out a box of mints, and tossed two pieces of peppermint candy

into her mouth. “I did not expect to stumble upon Genevieve while I went shopping.”

“Thank you,” Armand uttered hoarsely.

If Sally did not happen to be at the restroom, Genevieve would have been killed.

“Give me the name list if you're genuinely grateful toward me. I know your men had already found out about the

external force conniving with those Baykeep's officials.”

Armand switched on his phone without hesitation and sent her the information through WhatsApp.

While she browsed through the list, Armand elaborated calmly, “The external influence colluding with Baykeep's

officials is the Carlo family, a famous mafia family from Lostaria. They possess businesses in Chanaea, but are

negligent in managing their assets here. More than two months ago, members of the Carlo family frequented

Baykeep.”

The Carlo family was based in the far Epea, mainly dealing with shady businesses. Armand was baffled by their

intention in helping those Baykeep officials overthrow the Zeigler family.

The only hypothesis he could come up with was that the Carlo family wanted to support a puppet under their

control to accession, creating a path to transfer their properties to Baykeep.

At that moment, Sally was reminded of something. Her eyes gleamed as if she had connected the dots in her mind.

She kept her phone and leaped to her feet. “I will act as Genevieve's bodyguard for this period.”

Armand narrowed his eyes at Sally. “Are you telling me that you think my wife is in danger?”

Sally questioned him, “Do you need to ask what I think? A few months ago, someone used my name to harm her on

the cruise ship. Not long ago, she was almost murdered in the parking lot, and today. Faith nearly took her life.”



Sally found the circumstances to be highly amusing as she recounted those perilous events. She asked him, “Are

you competing against Genevieve to see which one of you could survive longer in danger?”

Armand was stumped.

Sally said, “There is a matter I need to investigate further. My uncle traveled abroad to convince me to take up this

responsibility, but even he failed. Genevieve should feel honored to be protected by me.”

Armand knew Sally had an ulterior motive behind her request to guard Genevieve's safety.

Still, he did not doubt Sally's outstanding combat skills. Genevieve would be safe with Sally as her bodyguard, so he

agreed to Sally's request in the end.

The sky had turned dark by the time Genevieve woke up.

Armand returned to the ward after he was done conversing with Sally. When he noticed Genevieve had regained

consciousness, he opened the food jar on the table and poured out a bowl of hot soup.

He described how Zayne had used Faith to Genevieve while feeding her the soup.

“Zayne is a time bomb if left in the country because he is stubbornly resentful. I've asked Uncle Cyrus to send him

overseas today. Granddad will not be informed of this matter. Granddad called, and I told him you are feeling under

the weather, so you need to be hospitalized today.”

Genevieve merely grunted in response. She understood Armand was already being generous for sparing Zayne's

life.

The following day, he handled her discharge procedures.

After they returned to the Zeigler residence, Herbert held Genevieve's hands and chatted with her concernedly. He

wanted to visit her at the hospital the day before, but his personal physician came to perform a health check on

him, so he could not leave the house.

“I'm fine, Granddad. Mando overreacted and insisted I stay a night in the hospital.” Genevieve wrapped her arms

around Herbert's as they walked toward the living room.

Herbert said sternly, “Fever is not a condition to be taken lightly. He was worried about you. I would have wanted

you to be hospitalized as well.”

Genevieve responded with a smile.
