Refore he left. lack seemed to have sensed something. When he titled his head, he coincidentally met

Amand‘s gaze.

Narrowing his eyes, the former evoked a smirk of contempl.

Armand kept his cool and calmly watched while the pair departed from the banquet hall. Seconds after

they had stepped out, the champagne glass shattered inside his grasp.

Half the glass of champagne was spilled onto his shirt and dress pants. In addition, his fingers were

badly cut by the broken shards as well.

Cooper, standing close by. saw the waiter Icad the man to the lounge before the former went to fetch

some towels and antiseptic ointment. He then casually followed over and sat himself down on a corner

couch.

“I‘ve just realized that Jack hates you more than he does me.”

Had it been him who was taunted by Jack like that just now, he reckoned that his displeasure might

have become palpable on his own face.

It would be much unlike Armand, who was nonetheless able to see them off with a straight face.

Using a warm towel to wipe the blood off his own fingers, Armand was in a dour mood. “Before I arrived

at the hotel. I received a call from Dr. Zogby. He told me that Jermaine has died from acute kidney

failure.”

In spite of having been saved by Armand‘s men. Jermaine had sustained two critical injuries that left

him in a coma for more than a month. He looked to be in better shape after he regained consciousness



the past few days. Yet, his kidneys suddenly gave out.

Cooper sighed upon receiving that piece of ill news. “After expending all that time and effort, I almost

thought that we had managed to save him. He called up Genev that day, so I think he might have had

something he wanted to say to her.”

Genevieve told him that Jermaine seemed to be quite anxious toward the end. He appeared to have

wanted to tell her something, but ultimately, failed to do so in time.

Remembering something asudden, Armand paused with his application of the antiseptic. “Jermaine

had asked Dr. Zogby to pass along a message prior to his passing. He wanted you to take Genev to

see his mother.”

“His foster mother, Renee Zeigler?” asked an astonished Cooper. “Why?”

I‘ve no idea either.” With his head lowered. Armand was deep in thought. “Do you remember how

Jermaine kept stealing glances at Genev when we were drinking at the bar previously? And how he

had also followed her when she went out to make a call?”

He thus speculated, “Could Jermaine have wanted you to bring Gency to see his parents because he

fancied her?

*That‘s impossible,” replice Cooper, shaking his head. “He‘s gay.”

Armand was stumped.

After taking a sip of champagne, Cooper then told Armand, “Landon Lebon‘s biological son is

homosexual and had insisted on mutying his partner, but London and his wife Rence are very

conservative. They felt ita disgrace to have their son bchaving that way. For a time, Rence got so upsct



that she had to be hospitalized for a weck. Later on, Landon went on to sever his tics with his own

son.”

He then continucd. “Jermaine and his older sister were both adopted by Landon and his wife alongside

cach other. He was worried that his sister‘s marital prospects would be affected should his adoptive

parents learn about his sexual orientation. Sylvie may very well have been aware of this information

concerning Jermaine, and could have been using it to threaten him.”

In spite of finding out about Jermaine‘s sexual orientation, Armand was still unable to figure out why he

wanted Cooper to take Genevieve to his adoptive mother.

“Just bring Genev over to the Lebons if you have the time,” Armand said.

Cooper grunted in acknowledgement.

Looking sideways at his counterpart, le could not figure out what else to say. “We‘ve already got what

we were after, so you don‘t really have to marry Sylvie, you know.”

That night, when Jack called Cooper, he went straight to the point of asking whether the latter knew

where Genevieve got injected with Curb.emotion, and also told Cooper that he knew what Steven was

searching for:

Of the three vials of Curb.emotion, two had already been used up. That last one that Steven had been

searching for had somehow landed in Jack‘s possession.

At that moment, Cooper‘s blood ran cold.

Timothy had tested a sample of Genevieve‘s blood and found the amount of Curb.emotion within to be

insignificant. Thus, it was only by acquiring a complete dosage of Curb.emotion would he be able to

formulate a cure for it.
