Chapter 10 Embarrassing

Jenna Murphy fell to the ground, and the contempt in people's eyes made chills run through her body. She felt a piercing pain in her palm, and a warm liquid began flowing out. She knew that it was a broken piece of the wine glass that pricked into the flesh in her palm.

She was so numb that she barely felt the pain!

Her face was as pale as snow, and the forced smile on her face gradually stiffened. Fortunately, the flashing neon lights weren't very bright in this moonlit night, so the unbearable pain on her face was somewhat concealed.

She was the one who asked for it. She deserved to be humiliated!

It was her fault for being nosy. Minnie Murphy was right, who gave someone as pathetic as her the right to mind another content person's business?

Tears welled up in Jenna's eyes as she clenched her teeth. She stood up under the curious gaze of all the onlooking Richards Group employees and acted as if nothing had happened.

Hansen Richards had suddenly appeared by the entrance at the rooftop. There was an unreadable glint in his eyes as he seemingly casually watched from the outside.

Everyone was watching the dramatic scene, and no one noticed Hansen's arrival!

It wasn't until Jenna walked through the crowd and went outside did these people saw Hansen standing at the entrance.

Jenna's footsteps were weak, and her red lips were tightly shut as she walked out step by step.

Hansen's body was like a hulking iron wall that blocked her way out. The unique minty fragrance on his body mixed with the faint smell of tobacco diffused in front of her. Despite the mixed smell of strong perfumes in the air, his special and pleasant smell still rushed straight into her nose.

Jenna immediately realized that Hansen was also here!

Her heart became even colder.

He was here to see how much of a fool she was. He must have seen what had happened just now. In fact, he might've been the one who secretly made Aria McAdams come over and humiliate her. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

A steam of pressure rushed to the top of her head. Everything in front of her was swaying, and her body was about to fall.

"You're here, Hansen." Aria's dark eyes instantly sparkled when she saw Hansen. She quickly ran forward and pressed against Hansen, then wrapped her hand around Hansen's arm to cling to him.

"What happened? Why are you all standing around?" Hansen scanned the scene with his intimidating eyes and asked coldly. He was wearing an expensive white T-shirt and a pair of black cropped pants, and his hair was handsomely slicked to the side. Casual clothes still looked regal and imposing on his tall and well-proportioned body.

"Hansen, Miss Murphy had a dispute with her cousin Minnie and they were fighting."

Aria said in a sickeningly sweet voice and observed Hansen's expression carefully. When she saw a hint of suspicion in his eyes, she winked at Minnie.

Minnie was still lost in a daze from meeting the unbelievably handsome Hansen Richards that she had only heard about.

The attractive and wealthy Hansen Richards was the ideal husband for countless socialites in A City, and also the dream lover of many young girls.

Minnie hadn't imagined meeting him here tonight in her wildest dreams, and she was at a loss for words. Aria shot her smiling but frigid eyes towards her, and Minnie finally snapped out of it when she saw the cold glint in her eyes. She quickly wreathed herself in fawning smiles before she chimed in, "Mr. Richards, Ms. McAdams brought me here to have some fun today, but I was scolded by my cousin who tried to hurt me. I quarreled with her because I was so angry. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone here."

A strange glimmer flashed across Hansen's eyes, as if he only just saw Minnie standing in front of him and staring at him like a creep. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. The delicate face of the girl in front of him did look a lot like Jenna, but the light in her eyes was far less intelligent and wise than Jenna's, and there wasn't any trace of Jenna's uniquely refined elegance on her.

He raised his handsome eyebrows and glanced indifferently at the feeble woman standing in front of him, who looked like a candle in the wind. A condescending expression appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that this woman would get into a violent fight in public without any regard for her reputation. From what he knew, although Jenna could sometimes be a little harsh, she was never this vulgar.

"Is that so?" He looked daggers at Jenna with his icy eyes as he asked in a frigid voice.

A sad and self-deprecating smile appeared on Jenna's face. The wound in her palm from being stabbed by a shard of glass was burning with pain. Failing to endure the pain, she clenched her hands and feebly leaned against the railing in the corridor like a fragile porcelain doll.

However, there was still a cold smile on her face. Her head was calm and rational, and she didn't say a word. She just emotionlessly looked into his eyes.

She has been exhausted for the past few days and hasn't had a single good night's sleep. She was suffering and miserable even in her dreams.

She didn't even bother to dispute Minnie's slanderous claims. Hansen obviously didn't see everything, but he had never believed her anyway.

It was useless to argue, and an explanation would be even more futile.

The humiliation was no longer a big deal to her, not to mention it was from Minnie, whom she was extremely disappointed by. Nothing mattered to her anymore, especially not what Hansen thought about her!

Minnie was clearly instructed by Aria to do this. When she was standing up, she saw the smug smile on Aria's face from the corner of her eyes.

She was just so tired!

Blood slowly dripped down between her fingers, and Jenna's dark eyes were filled with nothing but endless cold. No one cared about her injury. Hansen was looking at her with callous and scornful eyes.

"I didn't expect a top-tier world-class designer to be so narrow-minded and vulgar. How embarrassing." Hansen's icy voice sent shivers through Jenna's whole body. She's like a fragile flower being destroyed by the wind and snow, which would fall apart the next second.
