"Since it has nothing to do with us, we'd better find something else to do. I have a feeling this banquet will not end until midnight and it's only eight o'clock now. Besides, there are some people I really don't want to meet," Jenna said with a smile as she sat lazily. "Well, let's go." Hannah also stood up, but her eyes were darting around. "Hey, since we're together, you can't go looking for a man." Jenna reminded her. "I don't know what you're talking about." Hannah was still looking elsewhere. "Let's take a look at the boat over there." Several small boats were docked by the lake, and some people had already taken them for a spin. The two of them walked towards that direction. "Would you like to get on?" Hannah asked as she took a look at the boats. "Forget it. With you being so distracted, I'm afraid we might drown." Jenna expressed her worries and thought of something else. "Is Rayan going to be here today?" Hannah's face turned red inst
"Jenna, are you alright?" Sergio asked with concern. "I'm fine." Jenna shook her head. Since that person moved so swiftly, it must have been premeditated. She would not be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate further. Besides, this is a blindspot and there were no cameras in sight. She could only blame herself for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jenna shook her head in denial and didn't want to think further. "Thank you, Sergio. I still have some matters to attend to." She didn't want to stay there any longer. "Jenna, let's have a chat," Sergio said with a smile and tried to persuade her to stay. His charming smile and gentle voice made Jenna feel at ease. Jenna relaxed. She didn't have any special feelings for Sergio, but he didn't make her feel particularly disgusted. She smiled and said, "I've been here far too long. The only reason I came here was to get away from the crowd." "Yes, there are indeed a lot of pe
Sergio stood in the darkness and watched the couple leave. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Not involved with politics? Do you think this will prevent the century-old foundation of the Richards family from being harmed?" "Huh, I'm afraid you're dreaming." "Even if the Richards family wishes to find a path free of any influence, it would be improbable." Sergio thought. The smile on the corner of his mouth was getting colder and colder. "Hansen, are you angry? I really came here with Hannah. I only met Sergio much later," Jenna muttered. He had misunderstood her relationship with Sergio back in Wullen Town. Now, she was afraid of raising his suspicion. Hansen was easily jealous. "Silly girl, you are my wife now. Why should I be angry? I believe everything you say." Hansen reassured her with a smile. A broad smile appeared on his face, devoid of any misgivings. His joyful appearance was completely different from the suspicious appearance s
"Madam Lilian, it's rare for you to visit this place. I have prepared a feast based on A City's culture. Have a taste of our hometown dishes. It will still be noon when you return to Europe." Yezon walked over and invited her. He had personally asked Madam Lilian to come over. She would only be here for three hours. After that, Madam Lilian would have to leave the country to attend an important meeting in the afternoon. Madam Lilian had attended the banquet out of respect for Yezon. Therefore, he prepared a meal consisting of the local specialties of A city for her, hoping that she would like it. "Alright, thank you." Madam Lilian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Tell you what, you all can have dinner with me." "Don't worry, Madam Lilian. I have prepared sufficient dishes." Yezon added, "This way, please." As he spoke, he held her hand as they walk towards the long dining table. Waiting at the sides of the table stood waiters, bar
During the meal, Jenna's and Madam Lilian's conversation went on to be calmer and more relaxing. The atmosphere seemed like it was not a grand banquet, but more like a casual gathering. It was friendly and easy-going. This banquet was the most delightful and longest meal attended by Madam Lilian, just because Jenna was sitting by her side. In fact, the others who were accompanying Madam Lilian were of more importance, yet she was having fun chatting with Jenna throughout the dinner. She at times behaved like a child, talking about delicacies, and exciting experiences with Jenna, completely ignoring the whole table full of people who were there to see her. Her delighted laughter could be heard from time to time. Time passed very quickly just as they were enjoying their conversation. She stood up in reluctance as they were about to separate and leave. Before leaving, she turned around to take Jenna's hand and said in a friendly manner, "My child, I have enjo
"Tsk, they're so in love. Sergio, did you see that? They are so happy, and the Richards Group is prospering. Even Madam Lilian adores Jenna. It seems that we can't compare to them." Zoella walked to Sergio's side and clicked her tongue in wonder. If she was right, Sergio intended to approach Madam Lilian that night but did not succeed. Madam Lilian was treating Jenna so well and was even eager to be with her. There was no chance for Sergio to get closer to Madam Lilian. What did this mean? It showed that Madam Lilian was hard to approach, and she treated everyone differently. She looked kind, but she was shrewd, and definitely not stupid at all. Madam Lilian definitely knew why Sergio wanted to approach her. If she didn't give him the chance, it meant that she didn't care about all those things at all. "What do you mean?" Sergio turned back and glared at Zoella. "I'm just stating the facts. That's all." Zoella shrugged her shoulders and put the leather bag
As soon as Jenna reached the 88th floor, she saw a long line of people waiting in front of the door. All of them were managers who would be presenting documents to her. "Good morning, Ms. Murphy." Everyone was busy greeting her when they saw her walk over. "Good morning." Jenna smiled and opened the door of her office. They soon got down to business. The whole process was efficient and fast. There were only two people left in the row. One was the director of the global manufacturing manager, Mr. Benson Parker, while the other was the global sales manager, Mr. Yaris White. After a moment of silence, Mr. Parker walked in first. "Ms. Murphy, please take a look at the recent manufacturing process of the cars." Mr. Parker walked in and nodded politely to Jenna, handing over the document with both hands. "Thank you." Jenna took the document and looked briefly at the report, using a red pen to mark some of the places. Raising her chin, she waved
"Good morning, Mr. Richards." Everyone in the hall stood up and called out respectfully in unison. Their voices were loud and clear. Hansen did not look at them. His eyes were fixed on the ground. He casually waved his hand in the air, indicating to them to sit down. Then, he led Alvin forward with large strides. "He's so handsome." Jenna cheered for him in her heart. She tilted her head and appreciated the tall and graceful temperament Hansen showed. His commanding demeanour was not something that could be built within a short period. It came from years of confidence, training, and a rich environment. Hansen grew up privileged and had been trained to be a leader, which helped him achieve his current accomplishments. She stood there absent-mindedly. They were married. Although they loved each other, she sometimes still felt like it was a dream. As he walked over with calm and confidence, she didn't dare show her affection or even talk to him in public, as
