Jenna and Rayan went straight to the Ink Garden. Right at the entrance of the Ink Garden was a 200-year-old banyan tree. It had long branches and was blooming with leaves, looking solemn in the cold winter. The houses in the Ink Garden were quaint but lovely. The sky was already bright, yet the lights were still on. Standing under the banyan tree, they could see the lights in the office from across the garden. Jenna walked towards the office. "Rayan, you may go to the reception room first. It has already been set up, and the guest rooms have been prepared." As they approached the office, she took him to a villa next to the Ink Garden, where Old Master Richard used to welcome his guests while he was still alive. That place had always been cleaned regularly, and carried the charm of the olden days. However, due to the changes in trends, Trevor had already renovated it, making the interior look modern and chic. Jenna led Rayan into a high class suite and hand
The moment she appeared to be confused, Sophia explained, "That night, Aunt Ella from the Green Jade Garden dropped by all of a sudden to claim some money. It was already very late then, but it was an order that the Ink Garden's kitchen received from Young Master Richards, requesting for all the most delicious food to be sent to the hospital immediately. We didn t dare delay his order, so the entire kitchen started getting busy. We made many scrumptious dishes and quickly followed Aunt Ella to send them to the hospital. At first, Young Master Richards said that we were to make dishes like this every day, but the next day he called and said we didn t have to do it anymore. You ll have to ask Young Master Richards for more details. I don t know how to explain anymore." Sophia was worried that Jenna wouldn t understand and would reject signing the application. Technically speaking, that meal was prepared at a moment's notice, and the money was used very haphazardly, so Sophia t
The New Year's Eve that everyone was anticipating for finally arrived. The day of the Richards Family New Year Banquet that Jenna and Sabrina had planned had officially arrived. Early in the morning, the servants and staff of the Ink Garden started to get down to business after the meeting. After explaining the important points in the meeting and taking disciplinary measures, Jenna and Sabrina sat in the office wrapping gifts and checking the lists of gifts. According to the regulations, everyone who visited Richards Manor was to receive a door gift at the entrance. This was to display their wealth and generosity. Around 20 million dollars were spent on this banquet, and all sorts of media reporters rushed there the minute they heard about it. Since eight o'clock in the morning, the entrance of Richards Manor had been filled with usherettes. Big banners were hung up on the gates, and colorful flags waved in the wind. All kinds of expensive cars began
"Are you alright, Jen?" Rayan could tell that she was embarrassed. He sighed in his heart. He already told this silly woman that she should have hired a stylist to help with her outfit for an occasion like this, but she wouldn't listen, and now she was embarrassed. Aria's dress was meticulously designed and planned. Rayan was never interested in women's beauty that relied on makeup and pretty outfits. In fact, he despised them the more he saw them. But during an occasion like this, he had no choice as all women would dress up like this, except the silly woman in front of him of course. "I'm fine." Jenna replied lightly as she smiled with her bare but relaxed face. She never enjoyed such vanity, so it never really affected her. She strongly believed that a woman's beauty didn't have to be displayed in such a way, and she was very confident in her own beauty. "Jenna." Sabrina walked over to comfort her as well. Aria grabbed everyone's attention when she arrived, and Sab
Zoey chuckled and whispered into her ear, "I actually did those things because Hansen wanted me to test if you were in love with him because he wasn't sure about it. Who would've known that you actually fell for it, and even looked very jealous. I can tell that you really do love Hansen, and he truly loves you as well. That day when you went missing on the streets, he was so worried about you. I've never seen him so anxious before, he even ran everywhere to find you. It was then that I knew that the both of you were truly in love." Zoey said without hesitation. She had just got off the plane and hadn't heard of the news that Hansen was marrying Aria soon. She only thought of the last time she third-wheeled Hansen and Jenna in Los Angeles. It made Jenna very uncomfortable, and she was worried that Jenna would hate her and affect her allowances from her cousin. Perhaps if she flattered Jenna enough, she would get more allowance in the future. Jenna's face turned pale when she
"Young madam, what's going on?" asked the captain of the security team, after rushing over and saluting Jenna as soon as he saw her there. Jenna had just arrived and didn't know much about what had happened, except that the chaos was related to Aria's gown. She turned her head and asked Sabrina, "Sabrina, what actually happened?" "We were just teaching this villain a lesson. It has nothing to do with all of you, you may leave," Sabrina said as she gestured to the guards. Being in charge, she told the guards, "Your job is to protect our safety as well as the guests, and deal with burglars or thieves, not interfere with our fights. Off you go." The security guards left as soon as they heard Sabrina's orders. Minnie began to cry even harder, as she pointed at Jenna and screamed, "You b*tch, I know that you're unhappy that you were chased out from the Richards Manor. Now, you're jealous that Mr. Richards loves Ms. McAdams and no longer loves you. So, you told them t
"I won't do it. It didn't have anything to do with me." Jenna retorted as her face darkened. "You won't go?" Hansen's creepy smirk became more apparent, and his cold words were like a sharp knife. "It's fine if you won't go. I'll just have to chase Sabrina and Zoey out of Richards Manor since they're the ones who started it. You better consider which consequence is more important." Jenna's face turned pale in an instant. He was going to treat Sabrina and Zoey so cruelly just because they offended his fianc?e? That was inhumane of him. "Hansen, you're too much. You should know that Sabrina is Norton's fiancee. She loves him and Norton wants to marry her as well. However, Sabrina might now be able to forgive Norton if she knows his dark backstory. So, you should be flattering her instead, yet you're trying to chase her out? That's very daring of you! What about Zoey? She's your cousin. Your beloved cousin since you were kids. You're going to treat her like that just bec
"Are you sure Hansen will make Jenna come and apologize to me?" Aria was wearing a blue dress, looking exquisite and alluring. That beautiful gown only earned a morning's worth of attention before it was destroyed, and Aria was very angry and gloomy about it. If Hansen couldn't deal with this well, she would seize this opportunity to get rid of all the people who were against her. She planned to use her father's help to pressure Hansen into chasing those women out of Richards Manor and take charge of the household affairs herself. "Ms. McAdams, Mayor McAdams called Hansen over and told him about that had happened, and Hansen promised that he'd give you a satisfactory solution. Just now, it was so interesting in the office, it was a pity that you weren't there to watch, Ms. McAdams. Mr. Richards' face was full of rage, and he scolded Sabrina and Zoey so badly that they cried. He also promised that he would make Jenna come apologize to you." Minnie said happily. Just as she w
