"Is that the reason why you took extra care of her sister?" It all finally made sense to Cooper. He raised his brow and suggested, "Why don't you explain to Johanna and end this war?" Timothy grunted and scoffed, "She keeps thinking that I have an affair with another woman. No matter how hard I tried explaining to her, she refused to listen."

Then, Timothy gulped down another shot of brandy.

The death of Dakota was like a taboo topic to him. A few years ago, he would still dreamed about the tragic scene where Dakota was devoured by the voracious fire.

Now when Armand brought up the past, he realized that he was no longer consumed by the horrible and guilty feelings that used to haunt him.

After the huge fight he had with Johanna, which resulted in her cutting off the ponytail that he had kept for years, he felt so much better. It was as if a heavy weight was lifted off him.

He was infuriated because Johanna distrusted him and gave him the cold shoulder.

Though they had been married for slightly over four years and slept on the same bed since, he somehow felt that Johanna was not truthful to him.

Anyhow, he regretted his actions when he woke up in the morning.

When he was driving to City Hall, he wished that Johanna would hug him, admitted her mistakes, and coquettishly promised not to have any falling-out with him anymore. How he wished Johanna would say that they were not getting a divorce.

Unfortunately, none of those he hoped for happened. On the contrary, Johanna requested for a hundred million in cash.

She suspected me of having an affair with another woman and flew into a rage. How come she's so decisive to the point of not caring anymore when we're breaking up?

"It's good that we're splitting up. With my blessed good looks, I don't need to worry about not having any women chasing after me, do I?" Timothy said scornfully.

"At this point, I realized that marriage doesn't make a person happy. It's better to remain single. If your girlfriend is always making dubious assumptions about you, go ahead and replace her with a more obedient one!"

"Mr. Sutton." Like an experienced person, Timothy advised Cooper, "Listen to me, don't get hitched again, and you shall live a peaceful and blissful life."

"I won't tie the knot again." Cooper stated firmly, "I'm dedicating the rest of my life to Specter Corporation."

Timothy widened his eyes in disbelief. "Genevieve has married Jack, right? She doesn't lack money. Do you really need to work so hard for Specter Corporation?"

The minute he made that statement, the atmosphere in the private lounge died down almost instantly.

"One can always opt for a divorce," Cooper glared at him and rebutted.

"It doesn't matter if Genev doesn't have any feelings for me. I just want to stand by her and give her all the support she needs."

He liked Genevieve, but he also respected her decisions.

"I doubt they'd divorce each other." Timothy leaned on the couch, frowning. "I'm utterly baffled. How come Genevieve could get pregnant with Jack's baby when she has clearly done a tubal ligation?" Armand placed the wine glass on the table with a loud clank. The bulging veins on his hands could not go unnoticed.

Cooper sensed that the latter was on the verge of going ballistic despite the calm and composed expression shown on his face.

Smiling, Cooper provoked him further. "Are you pissed off? What gives? Genev lost two children because of you, Armand. She has the right to go for a tubal litigation. Similarly, the decision is also hers to make if she wants to bear a child. You've been surrounded by countless of pretty girls these four years. You also have Sylvie to keep you company day and night. What makes you think that she's would not have any man by her side?"

Suddenly, Cooper recalled something. "Rumor has it that you've fathered a child with Sylvie, and she was spotted shopping for baby products. Mr. Faulkner, how old is your kid now?"

"Oh my goodness!" Timothy cast a flabbergasted look at Armand and asked, "Is that true?"

Armand ignored them both and continued drinking shots after shots of brandy.

Timothy urged persistently, "Come on, Armand. Let your yes be yes, and your no be no."

Deep down, Timothy thought that it was probably a fake news.

It's not hard to guess why Armand keeps Sylvie by his side. His motive is obvious. I bet Cooper could figure this out too.
