Chapter 449

Chapter 449 Unworthy Of Being Her Replacement As Genevieve and Jermaine had yet to return, Armand and Cooper were the only ones left in the room. The former continued drinking in silence while the latter puffed away on his cigarettes. Armand was drunk by the time he finished the brandy on the table. He even stumbled a little when he got up from the couch. Cooper grabbed Genevieve’s coat that she had left behind before leaving the room with Armand. After leaving the lively bar, Cooper was heading down the stairs with Armand when he saw a car pull up by the road. Cooper deliberately slowed down to put some distance between him and Armand. Seconds later, a young woman came out of the back seat of the car. She was wearing a green knitted miniskirt that hugged her slender figure, and the wind blowing through her long hair added flair to her exquisite facial features. Sylvie quickly ran up to Armand the moment she saw him.

“Why did you get so drunk, Mando?” She had a faint rosy fragrance on her body that Armand had smelled countless times before. Too drunk to say anything, Armand simply stared blankly at Sylvie in response. “You know what? Never mind. I’ll take you to the hotel,” she said as she helped him into the car. A faint smile formed on Cooper’s face as he stood and watched their interaction from afar. Since Armand isn’t denying the rumors about them, I’ll lend him a hand! The car soon arrived outside Lovely Heart Hotel. Sylvie had already booked them a room beforehand, so she brought Armand straight to the elevator and rode it up to their floor. After entering the room, she made sure to keep it dimly lit with only a lamp in the corner. “I’ll go pour you a glass of water, Mando.” Sylvie was about to head over to the minibar when Armand hugged her from behind. He buried his face into the crook of her neck, and she shuddered when she felt his warm breath on her skin. “Don’t leave me, Darling.” Armand’s voice sounded a little weak and hoarse. Who is he calling “Darling”? Sylvie paused for a moment after hearing that but decided not to think much about it. “I won’t leave you. I love you, and I’ll always stay with you,” she said, turning around to hug him back.

Sylvie stood on her tiptoes as she attempted to give him a kiss, only to have Armand let go of her all of a sudden. He forcefully brushed her arms off and backed away as he fumbled for the light switch. The

look in his eyes turned icy-cold when he realized the woman who looked a lot like Genevieve was actually Sylvie. A few seconds later, Sylvie placed his hands on her body and boldly leaned forward. “Don’t you want me, Mando?” she whispered seductively in his ear. Armand pulled his hand back and said coldly, “You’ll only make a fool of yourself if you try to imitate her.” The look on Sylvie’s face tensed up when she heard that, but she refused to give up. “Genevieve is already married to someone else. Since I look similar to her, will you let me be with you instead? I really love you! I don’t mind if you see her whenever you look at me! I’m willing to be her replacement for the rest of my life!” Armand grabbed her by the chin and took a closer look at her face before pushing her away. “I know this isn’t your original appearance, Sylvie. You wanted to star in Jack’s movie, so you slept with one of the producers and found out what Jack wanted his female lead to look like.

After that, you went to get plastic surgery over twenty times just to look a little like Genevieve. I only kept you by my side because I didn’t want you bedding other men with a face that resembles hers. You’re not worthy of being her replacement.” Sylvie’s face went pale instantly. He knew about those secrets of mine? More importantly, I actually thought he saw me as a replacement for Genevieve the whole time! So, this is why he kept me by his side all along… Chapter 450 My Heart Is Dead Armand glared at her coldly as he continued, “I know everything you’ve been doing behind my back, Sylvie. I just couldn’t be bothered to have someone take action, that’s all.” “You couldn’t be bothered? I bet you wanted Genevieve to see me like this, didn’t you?” Sylvie snapped at him. She knew she had struck a nerve when she felt his grip on her chin tighten, but she didn’t dare go any further out of fear. “Stop wearing green and stop styling your makeup to look like her. Oh, and stop wearing that d*mned perfume too. Smelling it on you fills my heart with nothing but disgust. You will do exactly as I say if you want to continue living a good life like this,” Armand said while wiping his hands with a paper towel. He tossed it onto the bar and entered the bedroom while Sylvie stood there, seemingly frozen in place. The paper towel was still fairly clean as Armand had only used it to wipe his hands earlier, but Sylvie felt as though it was covered in germs and viruses. All these years, I thought Armand had treated me well because he saw me as a replacement for Genevieve.

Turns out that I’m not even worthy of being her replacement… He only brought me to those social events so people would forget about bedding me out of their fear for him. I’ve never seen a man so reserved yet terrifying at the same time! Not wanting to stick around any longer, Sylvie grabbed her handbag and was about to leave when the doorbell rang. Her eyes lit up with glee when she looked through the peephole and saw that it was Genevieve outside the door. Sylvie deliberately messed up her hair even further and undid the first button on her skirt before opening the door. Armand had already left the bar by the time Genevieve finished her phone call. She had come rushing over when she found out that he had gotten drunk and that Sylvie had brought him to this hotel. Judging by Sylvie’s messy hair and reddened eyes, it’s obvious what the two of them have been doing earlier… Genevieve felt her heart sink at the thought of that. “Do you need something, Ms. Rachford?” Sylvie asked with her lips pursed. “No, you two carry on!” Genevieve replied and left in a hurry. She was gripping the box of sobering pills so tightly that it nearly deformed in her hands. Sylvie waited until a minute had passed since Genevieve entered the elevator before leaving the room. The mere thought of what she saw earlier filled Genevieve with so much anger that she trembled all over. What a f*cking sc*mbag! I wouldn’t have returned if I’d known he’d be like this! My life was so much better in Dartan! She threw the sobering pills into the trash. Her phone started ringing when she stepped out of the hotel. Genevieve waited until she was inside her car before answering the call. “What’s up, Sweetie?” “I miss you, Mommy! You said you’d give me a call every two days!” A little girl’s soft and adorable voice came on the other line. “I’m sorry, Sweetie. I’ve been too busy lately,” Genevieve said and gave her a kiss over the phone. “

When will you bring me home, Mommy? I really miss you and Daddy!” Genevieve broke into a frown, as hearing that reminded her of what had happened at the hotel earlier. “You no longer have a daddy! He’s dead!” “Huh? Really?” “Well, he’s not actually dead, but my heart is. Do not talk to me about him ever again, you hear?” Genevieve said coldly. “Then why did you give me the nickname ‘Mandy,’ Mommy? Wouldn’t that remind you of Daddy whenever you call my name?” asked the little girl. “Yeah, I was stupid for telling you and your brother all that. I should’ve let Mr. Valentine be your daddy instead!”

Genevieve replied with a wry chuckle. “Don’t be angry, Mommy! I’ll help you teach Daddy a lesson in my dreams tonight!” Amanda comforted her with a kiss over the phone. Feeling a lot better after hearing that, Genevieve continued chatting with her until she got home
