"Come, sit down." Marissa pulled Sabrina onto the sofa with a big smile. "Sabrina, is General Delia in good health?" She hid no adoration towards Sabrina. Jenna knew that the reason for this was nothing more than a fancy to the power in General Delia's hands. Thinking of her father, she felt bitter. "He's doing great. Thank you for asking," Sabrina replied with a smile. She took a cup of tea from a servant and saw Jenna still standing. She beamed while saying, "Jenna, come sit down with us." Jenna thought about going to the second floor. It was obvious that she did not belong here. She always felt that she was an outsider. However, she was worried to leave Sabrina here alone. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down beside her. Hansen put down his briefcase before heading over as well, sitting next to Jenna. He stuck to her so closely that he might as well sit on her. Jenna's eyebrows were twisted and her body was tense. She was very uncomfortable with H
As Aria returned to her bedroom, Minnie saw her fuming. Her face was reddened and her eyebrows were furrowed. She hurriedly comforted, "Ms. McAdams, please calm down. That woman is too clever with her schemes, we can't fight against her at all." "The d*mned old woman is always against me on everything!" Aria gritted her teeth and cursed. "Ms. McAdams, why don't you use your father's power to show them a taste of their own medicine? Don't let them look down on you," Minnie suggested bitterly. Aria stared around with a fierce gaze. Richards Manor had a long history and a strong foundation, even Earl could not lay his hands on it. The only hope left was Camphor Tree Villa but Hansen did not care about it. Ever since his application for it to be an environmental protection zone was rejected by Earl, there was no news about it. Hansen never mentioned it again. Currently, Camphor Tree Villa was as if it was completely abandoned and Hansen seemed to have forgotte
"Let you go?" Aria smiled devilishly. "If I let you go, what about all the money you embezzled? Do you think money is that easy to earn? The filming crew is already in a mess. Because of the excessive loss, someone has already filed a case with the authorities. As soon as the investigation starts, you'll be done for the embezzlement, not to mention your crimes in the past. It s impossible to deny it with the evidence and witnesses. Tell me, how can I help you by then? Why should I help you?" Minnie was struck by Aria's icy cold words, feeling as if they are an avalanche coming in her direction. She stepped back in fright and fell onto the ground limply, looking at Aria in horror. Five million? She had spent all the money. There was no way to get the money back even if she wanted to return it. Hansen had forced her family to return Javon's assets to Jenna. She could only count on Aria for more money. How could she be able to repay these debts? She was frightened
"Shut up," Hansen shouted in anger. "Idiot, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?" "I'm despicable and shameless, sure, but are you any better?" Norton sneered. "You are not much better than me. I love Jenna but I would never hurt her. However, you deceived her feelings from the beginning. You hurt her and left her scarred, you're not a man. Now that Aria is pregnant with your child, you're stuck with her; she won't let you go. How much have you hurt her and disappointed her? Don t you feel sorry?" He scoffed. "God is fair. If I can t get her, you can't either. You know how she is. How would she forgive you?" When Norton said this, he burst into tears laughing. Hansen's worries were exposed one by one and a deep pain flashed across his eyes, his fists clenched. "A*shole, that was all because of you!" he lashed out in fury when Norton reminded him of the incident at Hilton Hotel. However, Vivian's words rang in his ears, "From the same root they were bo
"Yes, I'm so down for it." Sabrina jumped off the hammock and said with joy, "Jenna, since you're in charge, let's prepare something special that will impress everyone. How about a special New Year banquet?" Jenna chuckled. She thought for a while and said, "That's interesting, I'll think about it." "What is there to think about? Alright, that's final." Sabrina was full of excitement. "Sabrina, it's a good thing to hold an annual banquet but we should also get Grandma's consent and look through the expenses in the past few years. We can't just hop into it without proper planning," Jenna smiled and reminded her. Richards Manor had no shortage of money but this did not imply that people here would be up for it. Often, these occasions were events where people bragged about their riches and successes to one another, all just so they could feign their pride. If the distribution was unfair or favoring one over the other, no matter which part went wrong, it would
"That would be great." Sabrina happily applauded as she stared at Jenna. "How about it, Jenna? I told you so." Jenna smiled. Sabrina had a captivating gaze, glistening with traces of innocence, and her smile was pure happiness. It was unlike Jenna's smile, which had different meanings behind it. After Hansen and Christopher left, Jenna and Sabrina brought forward the idea. Just as Meroy predicted, Vivian immediately agreed and promised to give them 20 million dollars to organize this annual banquet. Vivian wanted the event to be as lively and festive as possible. Jenna and Sabrina were shocked by her immediate response. They couldn't grasp Vivian's thoughts. Even when it was her ninetieth birthday, the family was not allowed to publicize it. It was a surprise that she would invest so much in such a common annual banquet. But now that she agreed and was willing to hold such a banquet, Jenna couldn't say much. Soon, the news that Jenna was organi
"You haven't changed much since I last saw you. No wonder Jenna is mad at you." Christopher picked up the club as he kept talking. "What do you mean?" These words hit the nail in Hansen's head. Holding the club, his face twisted in anger as if he was about to hit Christopher with it. Christopher laughed, afraid that he might actually hit him on the head. It looks like Hansen really wasn't in the mood to joke around. A look of sarcasm appeared on Christopher's face. "Hansen, I didn't expect you to be so triggered. You still haven't grown when it comes to relationships." "Don't taunt me!" Hansen's face was a little red and he raised the club in his hand, wishing to hit the guy in front of him. If it weren't to go along with him, Hansen would have dealt with the matter long ago. He would have caught that d*mn Brock. Maybe, Aria's pregnancy wouldn't have happened. "Okay, I surrender." Christopher knew the temper Hansen had and immediately raised his hands in s
"Who is he drinking with?" "Me." Christopher's speech was slurred too. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. "He drank six glasses today. No, eight..." Christopher was muttering under his breath. "Where are you guys?" Jenna knew that a drunk person would either chatter non-stop or stay completely silent, therefore she interrupted him and asked unhappily. "In the "Autumn' private room of New Era Restaurant," Christopher was speaking somewhat clearly and he gave the address. "Hansen is very drunk. He can't drive like that. Call the driver to come over and you'd better come to him too. He seemed to really miss you. He keeps calling your name." Jenna fell silent after hearing this and hung up the phone. Glancing at the streets, New Era Restaurant was not far from where she was. After thinking for a while, she turned around and drove towards New Era Restaurant. Hansen was found completely flushed in the 'Autumn' private room. He was sprawled
