"Your butler, he said that she left with you." Hansen answered, his tone indignant and righteous. "So, just based off on that, you've become certain that I'm the one who took your woman away?" Rayan asked with a look of disdain. "First of all, Jen is not your woman. By law or in life, I won't agree to it. Secondly, yes, she did come out of the villa with me, but we went our separate ways after that. I went to the airport and she went to the train station. How would I know where she was headed to?" Rayan shrugged, shook his head, and spread out his hands. A glimmer of starlight flashed across Hansen's darkened eyes. Soon, it was enveloped in an even more intense gloominess. "You're saying that she didn't stay with you at all, and that she didn't leave with you?" The joy that had just surged into his heart was quickly replaced by worry. Jenna really didn't stay with Rayan. This idea once again vindicated Trevor's judgment of Jenna and also proved that his guess wa
A year later. A sudden earthquake alarmed everyone. Almost overnight, the news media was plastered with the coverage of the earthquake. Regardless of which channel was switched to, or which website was clicked into, the images were all replaced with a solid, grey-colored background. The high-intensity earthquake had almost destroyed everything in S City. In the living room of Green Jade Garden. Hansen was accompanying Trevor and Marissa at dinner. "Hansen, the earthquake is a natural disaster. The Richards Group is a large group company. Have you prepared anything for this?" After stuffing a mouthful of omelette into his mouth, Trevor remembered the current situation and asked seriously. After gulping down the almond milk, Hansen smiled and said gently, "Don't worry, Dad. We are a well-known company and wouldn't skimp on any donation. Last night, I asked the mid-level executives of the company to bring ten thousand tents and a lot of food, as w
"Hansen, it's getting dark. Where are you going?" In the dining hall, Marissa was shocked to hear Hansen ordering a helicopter to be sent to the disaster area for a rescue mission. When she thought that he was going along with the helicopter to the earthquake-stricken area to rescue the victims, her heart instantly missed a beat. It was not an easy feat for a helicopter to land after being in the air. Others might not understand, but she understood very well that there were demandingly strict conditions for a helicopter to land. With the area just experiencing an earthquake, it would be impossible for him to land without using a parachute. Even then, it was not guaranteed that he could touch down safely. In the unlikely event that he was not careful, his bones might get fractured, or even worse, get caught up with the wind... She dared not venture into this possibility. She could not let her only son take such a risk. Anxiously, she turned towards Trevor and cried out, "Tre
Alvin looked at her back and felt somewhat surprised. This figure in front of him was very familiar. He turned his head and caught sight of the flickers in Hansen's deep eyes, the dimming eyes as dark as paint. She said as if deep in thought, "Mr. Richards, the conditions here are too harsh. It's likely that the children buried in the ruins have little hope of surviving. Now that there's freezing rain outside and the children's bodies are in very bad shape, it's difficult for them to pull through." There was a loud cry coming from the tent. Amy and the more sensible child began to cry. Hansen fastened his gaze at the woman. Her head was even lowered now, and her face was still obstructed from view. However, even without thinking, he could tell that she was heartbroken. Hansen's heart sank. Taking out his mobile phone, he called the director of the Public Security Department in S City directly. The director attached great importance to this. He responded im
After thinking for a while, Alvin started to comfort him. "Mr. Richards, it's very likely that the woman isn't Young Madam at all. Though her back may resemble her a little, we can't get any clue from her voice." When she had said those words that day, Alvin was there. At that time, her voice was ragged, probably due to all the screaming she'd exerted during the earthquake. It was true that he could not recognize her voice, but for Hansen, his intuition firmly believed it was her. Lacking any concrete evidence, time was a luxury he couldn't squander. Hence, he made a decision. He summoned Connor and Amy, and then left them with his contact number, reminding them to call him as soon as they received any news of that woman. His mobile phone kept ringing these past two days. It was supposed to be a temporary ordeal, coming here. There was a pile of paperwork waiting in the Richards Group, for him to attend to. At that moment, he made a phone call, and a helic
Spring had arrived in Wullen Town in Jenova City. The town was filled with flowers, spring rain, gondolas, white walls, and stone bridges. It was as beautiful as a dream. In a small alley, on the stone steps, a graceful figure was holding a red umbrella and moving rapidly forwards in the rain. The people in the Jenova City were conversing with each other, and the rain was flowing down along the tiles. It was a portrait of human warmth and serenity. However, she was in a hurry and in no mood to drink in the beautiful scenery. When she passed by an old man's stall, she turned her head and saw that the old man was carefully spinning cotton candy. That wonderful smell put a smile on her face. She reached in her pocket to take out some money, bought two cotton candies, and held them in her hand. Then, she strode forwards quickly. In front of her was a place with a picturesque scenery. The courtyard was so thick that various flowers were planted all around it, and the pinki
Hearing Jenna's words, Sara's eyes surged with anger again. "I didn't expect Hansen to be such a b*stard and hid the fact that you've both divorced from each other. Since that's the case, he shouldn't ever lay his hands on my daughter anymore. Now, you're forced to contend with the role of a single mother. How despicable." Sara's eyes were bristling when she said this. "Jenna, you have to find a man, and a good man at that. Only in this way can I live a peaceful life, and only then can I be more at ease." Sara's words made Jenna's heart twinge. Would she still love someone else in this life? Would she be able to love again? Even an outstanding man like Rayan could not pry open her heart. Was there any man in this world who could make her fall in love with him? She sat there blankly, her eyes empty. After a long time, she said in a low voice, "Mom, it's not entirely his fault." Jenna saw the wrath in Sara's eyes. Sara was insanely angry with Hansen, a
"Good morning, Miss Murphy." Mr. Koch greeted Jenna warmly and instructed the children to self-study. "Good morning, Mr. Koch." Jenna nodded back at him politely with a smile on his face. "Miss Murphy, I have something to talk about with you today," Mr. Koch mumbled sheepishly as he led Jenna to the staff room. It seemed that he seldom interacted with women. He was stuttering when he spoke to Jenna, his cheeks tainted with a faint blush. "Oh okay. What about it?" Jenna was a little amused. Nonetheless, she replied cordially, trying to ease his nervousness. "It has come to my attention that several children have been missing school over the past two days. I don't know what the reasons are, and I couldn't seem to get in touch with the parents. Therefore, the school has come to a consensus to conduct a home visit. I'd like to ask you to come with me," Mr. Koch explained earnestly. Jenna realized that this matter was truly pressing. If a child was absent
