"Jenna, I know this is unfair to you but Hansen is now determined to set himself against the McAdams family. If this situation persists, Richards Group will be greatly affected. His father and I did all we could to look after Richards Group and we've used our entire lifetime to preserve our family business. We've successfully brought glory to Richards Group. However, a catastrophe is happening soon and I'm unable to convince Hansen, which is why I'm begging you now. Please Jenna, as our former daughter-in-law, please consider it for the sake of our family. Right now, you're the only one who could possibly persuade him and I believe you can do it," Marissa pleaded, her eyes welled with tears as she held Jenna's hand. A poignant smile appeared on Jenna's face. She understood everything crystal clear, however, she continued sitting there motionlessly like a sculpture. Except for the smile on her face, her body was tensed up. "Auntie, how do you want me to persuade Hansen?" she
"Come on, what do you wish to talk about?" Aria asked as she looked at Jenna victoriously. She was grinning from ear to ear. "Aria, I did not push you down and you know that clearly. Do you really think that it's okay for you to lie brazenly like this?" Jenna brushed away her fringe on her forehead confidently as she stared at Aria coldly with a menacing gaze. Panic flashed through Aria's bright eyes as she felt Jenna's stare. "It seems that you are really here to make trouble today. Let me tell you, it's a fact that you caused me to be bedridden in this hospital right now and you'll definitely be convicted for this," Aria scoffed deviously and continued with viciousness evident on her face, "I am not afraid that you will harm me under broad daylight now anyway." "I harm you?" Jenna sneered. "Do you not know who you are? Could I possibly harm you even if I wished to? You've crossed the line for wanting me to confess my guilt and slandering me for no reason. Well
"Who's there?" Aria asked loudly. "Ward rounds." A nurse's voice rang from outside. "I will take my leave then," Jenna said curtly as she turned around. "You'd better keep your word," Aria stared at Jenna's back and said without a smile. Jenna felt a lump in her throat as tears welled up in her eyes. An inexplicable grief rose from the bottom of her heart. With a knock on the door, a young male doctor clad in a white coat walked in. He met face-to-face with Jenna. With just a glance, she recognized the young male doctor in front of her. The last time she came to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital... It was the same male gynecologist who treated her. She was appalled as embarrassment flashed across her face. She then left the scene in a hurry with her head lowered. Donald glanced at her stoically. His expression was calm and deep but his gaze wavered right at that moment. A slight astonishment flashed across his face and vanished
After stepping out of the Public Security Department, Hansen drove his car to a large plaza nearby. "Alvin, what are Brock's recent whereabouts?" He fished out his mobile phone, put it near his ear as he asked curtly. The anti-theft and soundproofing ability of the Hummer was excellent, and his deep voice in the car resonated clearly. "Mr. Richards, Mr. Matthews' police force wiped out another drug den the night before. Judging from the current situation, Brock is starting to panic now and it is very likely that he will escape overseas at any time. As of now, there are many international mafias in A city and Brock is still under their control for the time being. However, if Mr. Matthews continues to investigate according to the clues he has, cracks down on everything and annihilates their organizations, Brock is very likely to flee abroad with the international mafia organization," Alvin replied in a deep voice over the phone. "We must never let him escape abroa
"What an overbearing, self-righteous man you are!" Jenna warned him. Seemingly not yet satisfied, she immediately scoffed, "Who do you think you are? My heaven, my earth, or perhaps my master? What a joke." "Exactly! I am dominating you and you'll never escape from me in your lifetime," Hansen curled his lips to a devilish smile as he said selfishly. Jenna smiled coldly and her expression tensed up. Her gaze seemed lackluster. "Don't you dare doubt me. Stop challenging my limits," Hansen threatened when he saw that she didn't believe him at all. "Fine, just let me go now. I need to take a bath." Jenna didn't give him a reply. Her heart was in a mess and she did not feel like engaging in this kind of unnecessary argument with him. She felt really tired. Not only was she physically exhausted, but she was mentally drained as well. She reached out and nudged him weakly as she said, "I'm very tired, can you leave?" "Okay." Hansen listened to her this time and s
What? Hansen? Jenna screamed in shock. She had slept in Hansen's embrace. While she took a closer look, he was sleeping soundly, even her cry didn't wake him up. Frozen in shock, she watched him sleep like a baby in a daze. He was in slumber comfortably as usual, without any odd expressions at all. That day was the third and last day of the deadline that Earl forced him to decide on the date of marriage. Although she had already negotiated with Aria and changed the deadline to ten days, Hansen did not know about it. Why did he still come to stay with her? Was it just habitual? However, his attitude... Didn't he worry about Earl's threat at all? Or perhaps, did he inform them about the date of marriage they asked for when he went out last night? She felt uneasy. She didn't know when he sneaked in last night. However, she didn't want to look into it anymore. She sat on the bed dazedly for a long moment. "
Jenna felt restless all day. As usual, she stayed in Richards Manor in the morning to prepare for the special New Year's banquet and went to the hospital in the afternoon. Hansen was still very busy. He had not returned to Green Jade Garden for the past two days and Jenna did not call to ask either. Sometimes, she felt that she kept the walls in her heart up firmly, so firm that it was enough to conceal all of her longing towards Hansen and she did not tend to miss him easily. That afternoon, she came to Trevor's ward as usual. Trevor s eyes were able to remain open for a much longer time and he was able to move his arms. As soon as he saw Jenna, he would look at her and open his mouth as if he wanted to say something. However, even if he mustered all his strength, he was unable to say a complete sentence. "Uncle Richards, you don't need to rush it. Soon, you will be able to speak properly." Every time when that happened, Jenna would comfort him tenderly as she
"Sabrina, when will your father visit A city?" Norton's voice was soft and gentle as he asked. "He will definitely attend the New Year banquet," Sabrina replied shyly. "Oh." After Norton responded curtly, no words were further exchanged as he lowered his head in an attempt to kiss her again. Norton was indeed asking about General Delia again. What was this guy up to? "Ehem," Jenna cleared her throat deliberately. The two darted away from each other frantically with a flustered expression on their faces. "Jenna, you're back from the hospital." As Sabrina saw Jenna standing in front of her, her face flushed in crimson. She felt very embarrassed as she tidied her disheveled hair with her hand and asked awkwardly. Norton looked even more embarrassed than her. "Yeah." Smiling, Jenna nodded as she said jokingly, "Tsk, what a loving couple." "Jenna, stop making fun of me. By the way, is Uncle Richards feeling better?" Sabrina scurried towa
