Chapter 38
Genevieve returned the phone back to Patrick. As she picked up the orange juice to drink, her phone that she had left on the table lit up.
It was an anonymous message.
It read: I am Erica. I have proof that Cooper murdered your parents. If you want the proof, send me three million in exchange for it.
After seeing the message, Genevieve’s eyes widened in shock.
When Genevieve went to the hotel with Armand that time, she had heard from Erica that she was the one who got rid of the clues that would prove Genevieve’s parents did not die of natural causes.
However, after Patrick had hacked into Erica’s phone and computer, he did not find anything. Even though Genevieve had asked him to check carefully, he still couldn’t find anything.
And now, Erica had personally contacted her.
Genevieve suppressed the urge of agreeing right away and replied: How are you so sure that I have three million? Using this trick, you can get way more than three million from Cooper.
Genevieve had no idea why Erica would come to find her instead of Cooper after gaining such crucial leverage over the man.
Erica replied: I know that there’s a man called Patrick by your side last night. He’s Mr. Faulkner’s subordinate. And I also know that you’ve been cozying up to Mr. Faulkner. I understand Cooper more than you do. If he knows that I have leverage over him, he would not let me off easily. As long as you give me three million and help me leave Jadeborough, I would not only pass the evidence to you, but I would also help you testify against Cooper.

After getting no replies from Genevieve, Erica sent two more messages.
The first message read: Let’s meet in Blue Shore Café at half-past eleven. If you don’t come, I would delete the evidence.
Followed by another message: It was your parents who got murdered, not mine. So, you hate Cooper more than I do.
Genevieve was provoked by Erica’s last text. So, she responded quickly: Fine, I’ll meet you at the café.
Judging from the text messages that Erica had sent, Genevieve felt that Erica didn’t have a reason to lie to her.
She guessed that Erica and Cooper must have had a fallout and Erica was afraid that Cooper might settle the score with her. Hence, when Erica knew that Genevieve was now with Armand, who was powerful, she then decided to do a transaction with Genevieve.
After responding to her message, Genevieve told Patrick, “Erica wants to meet me. Send me there later.”
“She’s basically a celebrity now. How does she still have the guts to be out in public? Does she want to take revenge on you?” Patrick sensed that something was off.
Genevieve let out a chuckle. “I have you, don’t I? Why would the two of us be scared of her?”
“You’re indeed a woman with great insight, Mrs. Faulkner! Let me tell you, I’m not only a hacker, but I also have a black belt in Kickboxing,” Patrick proudly exclaimed as he was overjoyed to be praised.
“Oh, really? Yet you still couldn’t protect Mrs. Faulkner last night,” Steven said coldly.
Patrick’s expression instantly changed. He scratched the back of his head and replied, “I was just trying to give Armand a chance to become the hero.”
“Ha!”
Upon seeing Steven’s solemn face while he let out a mocking chuckle, Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh.
In the meantime, she was secretly worried for Armand.
He was so badly injured but still went out early for work. Would he really be fine?
After the car explosion incident last night, Patrick did a thorough check on the car that he was driving. After confirming that the anti-explosion system was on, he then allowed Genevieve to enter the car.
After reaching Blue Shore Café, Patrick waited in the car while Genevieve entered the café and chose a window seat.
Afterward, she sent Erica a text, informing her that she had arrived.
