Chapter 772

Shocked, the woman's pupils dilated. However, she did not sound affected when she said, “You're not

dead?”

Genevieve pointed at Charice and told Armand, “She's Mrs. Hompton, and also Charice.”

Armand was dumbfounded.

Armand was brought up by Isabella ever since he was young. While he subsequently found out who his

mother was, his memory of her was murky at best, given that his recollection was from a worn-out,

yellowish photograph of his mother.

Obviously, the woman before him looked different from the photo.

Knowing that Genevieve must have discovered something, Armand said softly, “Jack said that she died

in an accident.”

“She faked her death.” Genevieve walked toward him and hugged his waist. “After knowing that

Charice is not dead, I've been investigating her whereabouts. I figured that there must be some

misunderstanding between her and Cesar.”

Armand did not expect this to be the information Genevieve had been hiding from him.

With an aching heart, he kissed Genevieve. He pulled out his phone and played a recording for

Charice. “This is the conversation I had with Jack.”

Genevieve learned about the misunderstanding between Cesar and Charice from the conversation.



To protect Charice, Cesar faked her death to send her overseas. However, he did not expect Charice to

get into an accident while she was leaving the country. While Cesar was still alive, he never gave up on

looking for Charice.

Charice relaxed her brows but remained glacial. “So what if he had his reasons? It is undisputed that

he ruined my life!”

It didn't matter if Cesar did it to protect her. That night, Charice pleaded with Cesar to give her back her

child and to think from her perspective. Nonetheless, he ruthlessly told her he had never loved her

before, shattering her heart into fragmented pieces. The damage was irreparable, causing her to lose

whatever feelings that she once had for him.

For the past decade in Dartan, Charice's hate toward Cesar grew deeper and deeper as the years went

by. All she wanted was to seek vengeance against him and let him feel the pain that tormented her.

Yet, she returned to the country only to find out that Cesar was dead.

Genevieve turned around and stared at Charice. “Even if Cesar wronged you, I would understand if you

were just going after the Faulkner family. But why did you use Jack?”

“He thought you were dead and wanted to commit suicide back then. Then, you told him that Cesar

wronged you and to seek revenge, causing him to kill Cesar's three wives and others from the Faulkner

family...” Genevieve gritted her teeth, almost losing her ability to speak.

Jack blamed himself because of Charice's supposed death.

Many nights, Genevieve witnessed the nightmare that Jack had to endure. In his sleep, he mourned

Charice's death with a pale, bloodless face.

In seeking revenge, he became an executioner and tainted his hands with the blood of others.



But this was part of Charice's plan.

“He did this of his own volition. I did not ask him to do anything.” Charice poked Armand and uttered in

a casual, monotonous voice, “You've merely borrowed my womb to come to this world. It was Isabella

who brought you up, and you have nothing to do with me.”

“But Jack...” Charice's frowned with disdain. “I was raped, and he is the child of that filthy rapist! I had

no choice but to give birth to that b*stard!”

Genevieve could not believe that Charice uttered such an atrocious remark.

Again, the door was pushed open, and Jack walked in. He looked calm, and it was unclear if he had

heard the conversation.

Genevieve turned back and saw Jack. Her heart sank, and she looked toward Charice. She started

shivering and shuddering.
