"Mr. Richards, do you want to call the police?" Jason asked steadily. The chill in Hansen's eyes flashed, then he waved his hand and said, "This is the underworld. We will solve the problem ourselves. We might not get what we want if we call the police." "Yes indeed. The police are useless and they always screw things up," the other one replied affirmatively. "You guys should leave first. I have booked the room next to his room. Wait for the opportunity to take action. I am waiting for your good news," Hansen spoke as he looked at the snow in the sky. He thought of Jenna taking him to meet Weldon that night. "Yes, Mr. Richards," John agreed and hinted to the others to get out of the car quietly. Soon, they disappeared into the snow. Hansen took his gaze back until they could no longer be seen. He was about to call Jenna and was about to pick her up, but the phone rang first. "Hansen, where are you?" Norton's voice sounded expressionless on the
The corner of Hansen's mouth raised slightly. He approached Norton and said seriously, "Javon was killed on the eve of the election for the head of the Finance Department. Now, Jordan is fully responsible for investigating this case. I think everyone knows who gets the benefit and who gets the detriment in it!" After speaking, his eyes stared straight at Norton's eyes like a sword, as if to look straight into his heart to see what he was thinking. Norton's hand that was holding the red-wine glass trembled slightly, and the smile on his face stiffened. "You're right, Hansen. Come on, warm yourself up with a good glass of French red wine." Norton held the thin leg of the red-wine glass and shook it slightly. The scarlet red liquid in the glass tilted slightly and he tilted it toward Hansen, and covered the embarrassment on his face well. Hansen glanced at the red wine in front of him indifferently, and did not reach out to take it. However, he calmly asked, "What
"Jenna, have you fallen in love with Hansen now? Don't you hate him?" Norton looked at Jenna's vigilant face which looked unfamiliar to him, and felt so heartbroken. He asked puzzledly, "He hurt you so badly before so how could you forgive him so easily?" One could tell from his tone that he was in despair. He had always been tender and affectionate with Jenna, but Hansen was nothing like that in front of her. That was not important. What was important was that Jenna could always find a touch of tenderness in Hansen s eyes. Her eyes and heart were filled with Hansen, and she didn't care even if Hansen hurt her badly. However, for Norton, she always treated him indifferently like a stranger, which made him feel incomprehensible, even more confused, and very unsatisfied. "This is my business, I don't need an outsider to take care of it," Jenna was disturbed by his approach and said coldly. "I just want to know where Hansen has gone now. It's urgent." A painful lo
How could he do such a thing? He had cheated on Jenna! That thought immediately appeared in his mind, and his whole body couldn't help but shudder. "Hansen, you are so good in bed, but you really make me feel pain now," Aria said as she leaned against his chest and embraced him. Her face was so shy yet satisfied, and she looked at him affectionately, with pleasure and a little shyness in her eyes. Hansen stood up suddenly. His face was pale. He said, "Aria, admit it. I didn't ask you out last night. I was going to meet Jenna." Aria s face immediately turned dark. She took the quilt and wrapped it around her body. Tears started to well up in her big eyes and she burst into tears. "Hansen, I know you like Jenna and you don t love me, but yesterday, you slept with me. Don t worry, I won t blame you. I was willing because I love you very much. I am willing to give you everything. I will not force you to be responsible for me in the future." Aria started so
"Mr. Richards, my subordinates have found Jennifer's specific address by following one of Brock's people named Freddy," Alvin suddenly lowered his voice and said.Hansen's mouth twitched slightly, and a dim light appeared in his eyes. He said, "Okay, follow the plan. This time, I will catch Brock and avenge you."A glimmer of joy flashed across Alvin's eyes, and an expression of gratitude appeared in his eyes."Take care, I won't let you get hurt in vain." Hansen patted Alvin's shoulder with a smile. He continued, "If you face any difficulties, just tell me.""Thank you Mr. Richards, there is nothing for the time being," Alvin smiled frankly and replied."Mr. Richards, were our men responsible for what happened last night?" He lowered his voice and asked.Hansen furrowed his brows and nodded slightly. "Don't worry, they are fine. They just want to avenge you so you have to get better as soon as possible."Alvin felt
Donald couldn't help but smile and say, "It's not that simple. First of all, wait and see if you will experience menstruation this month. If your menstruation this month is absent, then you are basically pregnant, but you can still come to the hospital first for a check-up. It's very simple." Aria was a woman with common sense, so she knew not to rush it, but the doctor had told her about it, and everything had been carefully planned. She was almost sure that nothing could go wrong. She took out a card from her pocket and gave it to him, and returned to the set cheerfully. She was not in a hurry. She had the time to wait so she decided to just let them be happy for a few more days. Hansen was practicing boxing in the gym of Richards Manor. It was the move called the 'Nine Cold Winters'. He was topless, sweating like he had just taken a shower, and the light in his eyes was as dark as the night. His fist hit the sandbag with suppressed anger, as if he wanted to p
"Protect Jennifer and run away!" Someone instructed them quickly. Freddy was startled and frightened. At this time, the guests in the guestroom heard the gunshots without knowing what happened, so they all burst out like a swarm of bees. Jennifer was very flustered since she did not see Brock when she heard the gunshot and she ran away with Freddy later on. Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, Freddy knew that Brock's wonderful night was gonna be ruined, so he had no choice but to escort Jennifer back to Fifth Alley even though he was completely terrified at that time. Fortunately, Brock didn't blame him for this. In order to make up for it, he took the initiative to pick up Jennifer the night before, but he never thought that this time, he would lose his life. In fact, Brock was already full of anger that night at Hilton Hotel, but fortunately, Aria had replaced Jennifer to have a wonderful night with him and he didn't mind it. Although he couldn't sleep with Jennif
Jenna just drank a few sips of soup during dinner. She really didn't have much of an appetite. Aria was also at home, and her appetite was not very good either. She had just eaten a little bit before she said she was uncomfortable and went to sit on the sofa and close her eyes to rest. Marissa was very nervous with her, and came to take care of her. She asked Aria warmly, "Aria, your appetite has not been good recently, and your complexion looks bad too. Are you exhausted from work? Or, let Hansen accompany you tomorrow to the hospital and have a check to see if you are sick." Aria smiled obediently at Marissa, and said shyly, "Mom, it's okay, it's nothing big. Maybe it's too cold these few days and I have the flu." Marissa became more nervous when she heard that, and said sternly, "You are Mayor McAdams s daughter. If something happens to you in Richards Manor, we will be blamed for not taking good care of you. Please let Hansen accompany you to the hospital t
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
