A few days later, the city council announced that Taylor, whose term was almost up anyway, would be
stepping down from his position as the mayor due to health issues.
Following this, Armand was declared the new mayor.
Prior to his return to the country, Armand had contacted Nigel, who was in Xedells, and also had his
men spread the news of Nigel's wife being his biological mother.
To think, he had been working an entry-level job just a few months ago, and now, he was being
relocated here for another job.
With his newfound status as “Nigel's stepson” and his promising political track record in the past,
Armand's election as mayor was met with approval. It helped that Robert and the others were
supporting him behind the scenes, too.
After stepping into his role as mayor, Armand hunkered down on the paperwork and affairs that came
with the job. He had only just tied up all the loose ends when he got a call from Jadeborough Chamber
of Commerce inviting him to a banquet.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Armand showed up at the banquet with his secretary.
The banquet was being held at Lovely Heart Hotel, and there was already a crowd when Armand
arrived.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, a group of people swarmed around him.
“Congratulations, Mr. Faulkner!”
Armand was dressed in a black suit that accentuated his well-built, towering frame. There was fortitude
behind his placid demeanor, and he outshone the others in the room with his elegance.
Everyone who came forward to clink glasses with Armand all looked upon him with admiration.
Truly, there was no figure more legendary than Armand.
The man was born to the Faulkner family in Xedells, but he came to Jadeborough at a young age and
made a name for himself as a businessman. He eventually gave up commerce to pursue politics and
became a minister after that, and it was all the more impressive how he got elected as mayor within
such a short time.
Granted, he had his fair share of support to get to where he was today, but there was no denying his
caliber.
Armand maintained a faint and polite smile as he exchanged pleasantries and clinked glasses with the
guests who had come up to congratulate him. It was not until an hour later that he finally got some
breathing space.
Just then, a figure approached him. “Mr. Faulkner.”
Armand glanced up to see Eurydice, who was wearing a long-sleeved dress, making her way over and
coming to a stop in front of him. Then, with an easy grace, she clinked glasses with him.
“Mind if we find a more private place to talk?” she asked.
Armand raised his hand and waved to dismiss his secretary.
When his secretary had stepped away, he gave Eurydice an inscrutable smile and said, “We're alone
now. Feel free to speak your mind.”
Eurydice let slide the fact that he had no intention to go somewhere more private to talk.
She raised her head and assessed him. He might appear gentle and amicable, but the look in his
tapered eyes was frosty.
It was as if he was only pretending to be personable when in truth, he was just as aloof and distant as
always.
A few days ago, Eurydice had people look into Taylor's so-called “health issues” and who the new
mayor candidate was, only to be completely caught off guard by Armand's election.
She thought he had died in that explosion.
And yet, here he was, looking well and alive. As expected of the man I fell in love with at first sight. She
loved how he could turn the odds in his favor, but at the same time, she was wary of his intelligence.
When Armand noticed she was staring at him without saying anything, his smile faded, and he pointed
out sullenly, “Ms. Gaudette, please cut to the chase. I only have five minutes to spare.”
Eurydice's brows furrowed at once. “Mr. Faulkner, you're far too intelligent and capable to settle for
being a mayor.” Her gaze on him was smoldering and confident as she added, “I can help you. I admire
you enough to want to see you climb higher.”
She actually meant what she said.
Eurydice had seen plenty of men, each with different qualities. These men were undoubtedly talented,
but they were flawed, too. Armand was different; his intelligence and foresight were incomparable.
She had always admired men like him who were strong and powerful, but gentle to those around him.
“I have no interest in climbing higher,” Armand countered evenly, not at all tempted by her offer.
Seconds later, his gaze softened slightly. “The only reason I became mayor was to fulfill my wife's
dream of being a mayor's wife.”
Eurydice could not hide her bewilderment. “Seriously? That's the only reason you're doing this?”
So, Genevieve is alive, too.
“Of course,” Armand answered matter-of-factly. The mention of Genevieve brought some warmth to his
tone as he said, “I would give her anything, even the moon if she asked for it.”
He paused after that, then looked at Eurydice impassively. “On that note, I am perfectly capable of
giving my wife whatever she wants, so I don't need your help to make her happy.”
Eurydice was so stunned by Armand's response that she was at a loss for words. She did not fully
grasp the implication of his words until a few seconds later.
If he could have anything he wanted at the snap of his fingers, then he could just as easily prevent
anyone from getting what they wanted.
