"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
"Jenna, I'm getting old. Now, I give you the rights of Ink Garden and the right to be the head of Richards Manor. From now on, this house is all yours," Vivian said firmly, though not loudly. What? As soon as Vivian said this, even Meroy was dumbstruck. Jenna was even more shocked. She stood there for a long time, failing to register the meaning of those words. Who was she to take over Richards Manor? She was merely an outsider. Furthermore, she could be considered an enemy to the Richards family. Norton killed Javon but Vivian gave her the manor. What did she mean? Trust or trial, or perhaps, Vivian was really willing to risk everything for her. Was this a test of her morals? Vivian must be hoping that she would forgive Norton, or did she really trust her? Her hand slid to touch her belly. She was pregnant at present, was she strong enough to take on this responsibility? Or did Vivian already know that she was pregnant with Hansen's baby? No,
"I see." Jenna could not help but ask, "Sabrina, do you come to Richards Manor often?" "Yes," Sabrina nodded and said briskly. "When Grandpa was still alive, I had to live in Richards Manor for a period of time every year. After I went to high school and got quite busy with my studies, I haven't come back for years. I remember Zoey was here too. We played together, it was a fun time. I came back last year but they weren t here anymore, therefore it was not as fun." "Oh." Jenna smiled and nodded, making calculations in her mind. The three years Sabrina was in high school was when she married Hansen, and then she went abroad, thus she missed the chance to meet her. That was why they did not know each other. "Then you're very close with Norton, I assume?" she asked tentatively. Sabrina blushed, a layer of shyness spread across her face as she smiled sheepishly. Embarrassed, she replied, "Yes, we knew each other since young, and we had a great time together."
