"You b*stard, you actually tricked me!" Jenna was furious and said fiercely, "I wish for nothing more than you to be dead. How would I even do that? I was just hungry and I came down to find something to eat. I thought you were someone else, that's why I covered you with the blanket." When she said this, she felt extremely wronged and tears were welling up in her eyes. "Is that true?" Hansen observed her, not believing her words. After a while, he smiled again. "Jenna, stop lying. There's only one man in this house, you must've known it was me. You can't hide anything from me." He leaned down, about to kiss her. Jenna blocked his lips with her hands. She was blushing but fortunately, the lights were dim and he could not see it. She had been determined to slowly forget him. She was disappointed in herself. When she saw Hansen on the sofa like that, she took pity on him and covered him with the blanket. The single movement was enough to make him
"Put me down, I want to go back. I don't want to go out to eat." Jenna only had a coat on her and she did not dare to get into a struggle with him for fear of revealing her pajamas. She merely complained in his arms. It was so late and so cold; she did not want to go outside. She just wanted to go back to her bedroom. "No," Hansen interrupted her flatly. He was decisive. "You have to eat out. Look at your face, it's like a starving beggar on the streets. People might think that the Richards family had abused you." The driver had brought the jeep out of the underground parking lot. Hansen gave her no chance for objection and he picked her up, getting into the car. He just would not put himself in other people's shoes, Jenna thought. It was so late, yet he still ordered Butler Maud and the driver to work for him. He was really inconsiderate of his servants. Hansen settled her on the soft bed in the back row, where the heaters were turned on. It was very warm.
"Keep an eye on him. Never let this man step into the second floor in the future." Just as Hansen walked down the stairs, Jenna's voice sounded from behind. He turned his head and saw her standing right there instructing the two guards, her face emotionless. Such a cruel woman! He stared at her bitterly. She looked down on him from above the stairs and he saw a victorious hint of a smile in her eyes. After this incident, he was completely defeated and never dared to sneak into her room again. Although he missed her deeply, itching to hold her and be by her side, he did not mess with her anymore. He hated and loved her at the same time; there was no way to make her give in. For the first time, he felt powerless to a woman. After eating, Jenna picked up her bag to go visit her mother at the hospital one day. She walked to the parking lot and started the car. As soon as she reached Richards Manor's entrance, she saw Hansen's jeep driving tow
"Jenna, did you hear that?" Sara saw her daughter sitting in a daze, not even giving her a short answer, and grew anxious. She raised her voice and asked again. Jenna flinched from the sudden question and saw Hansen staring at her with a smirk on his face. She immediately understood what he meant by this arrangement. She had to smile bitterly and agreed with her mother. "Mom, don't worry, I understand." Sara sensed that Jenna's promise was unconvincing and was a little dissatisfied. Jenna really did not know to gain people's favor. The least she could do was to be more enthusiastic in front of her husband to win his heart. She sighed in her heart and shot a disappointed look at her. "Do you hear that? Please take good care of my father from now on," Hansen nodded and whispered to her ear. Jenna rolled her eyes at him and Hansen chuckled. "Oh, Hansen, what happened to your right face?" Sara gasped when she saw the scratch marks on his face. Hans
Jenna walked with her head down. She did not speak. Hansen followed closely behind, inexplicably nervous. Her silence bothered him. Jenna walked slowly as he trailed behind her. She quickened her pace and he followed suit. The gloomy atmosphere was suffocating. Jenna smiled coldly with infinite sadness in her heart. Hansen was not worried about her. He was only afraid she would not forgive Norton and take revenge on him! Paul had told her that day that Norton was involved in her father's death and that he would be released on bail soon. At this moment, Jenna understood Vivian s painstaking efforts. She had given her the inheritance rights of Richards Manor and the priceless Ocean Heart. To put it bluntly, she did all of this as an atonement on behalf of her grandson. It seemed that Vivian had known the truth a long time ago but did not tell her. Instead, she did all these to make it up to Jenna. She really was an experienced
"Jenna, really, I didn't plan on killing him. You know that I love you so much, why would I kill your dad?" Norton turned pale and said in fear. "All evidence points to you and you're still making up excuses." Jenna knew that he was unpredictable and wild. Of course, she would not fall for his lies. "Jenna, trust me." Jenna's disbelief struck his heart but he knew that she had no reason to believe him. He could only explain over and over, "Jenna, you have to believe me. I really didn't want your father will die; I never expected it to turn out like this." He suddenly lifted his chin up, his face painted with desperation. He said softly, "Jenna, I remember when I first saw you at a banquet in Ink Garden, I was still young but I fell in love with you. I swore that I must marry you as my wife. I thought about you every day and wanted to see you. No matter how stupid I am, I would never think of killing your father. This is truly from the bottom of my heart. Believe
"Dad, I beg you. You have to bail Norton out of jail, at least temporarily," Aria spoke as soon as she closed the door of the study. Earl's face darkened and he asked in a low voice, "Why so?" "Dad, you have to get him out, I need his help. I'm finally pregnant with Hansen's baby, even Vivian has agreed to our marriage. I'm about to succeed. But if Trevor wakes up, I'm afraid it'll be all for nothing," her face was flushed red as she said anxiously. "Would Trevor oppose you or dislike his own grandson?" Earl was very puzzled, his eyes full of doubt. "That's not it." She panicked. "Dad, please stop asking, I have my reasons but it's hard to explain it now. Anyway, you must help me with this. I'm your only daughter. If you won't help, you can't blame me when you regret it in the future." She threatened in a soft voice, wiping her tears like a baby. Earl was surprised. As he recalled from a few years back, Trevor was not particularly fond of Jenna befor
"You only have one way to go now, that is to work with me. The victors make history. If we work together and have the power on our hands, everyone will have to follow us. No one will be able to stop us," Aria gave a confident smile and said. Work with her? Power? Norton knew what she was after and he could not help but shudder. No, he could not be involved with her again. He would be ruining himself if he continued. Besides, it was such an immoral thing to do. "Don't you want the inheritance right to Richards Manor? After this incident, it's impossible for you to retain your position in the Finance Department. I doubt that Vivian will give you the inheritance right either. Have you ever thought about your future?" Her eyes grew icy as she stared at him, asking in a chilly voice. She thought that he was dumb and she could make no use of this idiot. She had found him to be scheming and manipulative. She did not expect that when something happened, he would give up
