When Liya saw that Hansen was willing to speak to her, she softened her tone and her face lit up with excitement. She immediately blinked her bright eyes and replied in a crisp voice, "Hansen, I am now working in the newly established web studio." "So, you're the newly recruited computer expert?" It dawned upon Hansen. It was no wonder he had no impression of this woman. She was a new recruit whom Jenna had hired. Since Jenna was in full control of the matter, he paid no attention to it. This woman must be Jenna's old friend or acquaintance and she must have known Hansen through Jenna. When he thought about it this way, his doubts subsided. "Since you've been recruited by Ms. Murphy, you'd better work well. She's a very qualified superior. As long as you perform well, she will recognise your talents," said Hansen calmly. "I hope I won't see you in places like this again from now on." After that, he did not take a second look at her before passing her and walking
"Good morning, Mrs. Murphy." Seeing Jenna, Meroy greeted her politely with a smile. Jenna stopped and asked with a smile, "Morning, Meroy. What brings you to Green Jade Garden?" Meroy stepped forward and informed her. "Actually, it has to do with you. The Old Madam wants to see you." "Oh, I see." Jenna was stunned. So, the Old Madam knew that she hadn't gone to work yet. She immediately asked, "Meroy, do you know why she's looking for me?" "I'm not too sure about that. She just told me to call and ask if you were still around. When she heard you hadn't left yet, she asked me to come over to invite you there." Surely enough, it was so. Jenna chuckled. "Okay, Meroy, let's go then." Meroy nodded with a smile. The two of them got onto an electric vehicle and headed for Ink Garden. Vivian was sitting on her lazy chair as usual. The air conditioning was set to a nice temperature and it was very comfortable. When Jenna silently walked in,
This was Vivian's wish. She understood what she meant but she still could not wrap her head around some of the things she said. Nevertheless, she did not hesitate and promised solemnly. "Don't worry, Grandma. I will do my best to handle the Richards Group and protect the family. This will be my home in the future and it will be the place that I will protect with my life. Grandma, rest assured, I will not let anything happen to it." With that, she knelt on the ground and lay her head on Vivian's knee as tears streamed down her cheeks. She knew that Vivian had always treated her well. She once thought that Vivian cared about her only because she was aware of Norton's sins. However, she changed her mind. Vivian had always known that Earl was associated with her father's death. She truly cared about her. Her love and care for her were irreplaceable. She was grateful to have met her. "Jenna." Vivian stroked her head, choked by her sobs. "Back then at Wullen Town, when you
"It just so happened that Claude's wife had come over to Ink Garden to complain about her. She was in tears. Well, she knew that I detested the woman. Hence, she came over frequently to complain about her. To be frank, ever since the woman and her daughter had stayed in Emerald Garden, everything had become chaotic. She was always crying, and eventually, even Claude could not tolerate it anymore. He rarely came home and was no longer interested in the woman. He lived elsewhere and focused on Maria. I knew that the household was in a mess and it would be a disaster if it continued. Besides, Elmore had just passed away. I wish that the atmosphere could be quiet and peaceful. Hence, I drove the woman and her daughter away without giving them a chance. " When Vivian talked about the matter, it was apparent that she was in distress. She did not have a choice back then and she was exasperated. Jenna lowered her head and pondered the matter. This was the fate of being a mistress t
Jenna walked out of the Ink Garden and headed straight for Richards Group. "Mr. Garver, who gave you the permission to publish the news? Did you get my permission to do so? Who is the reporter responsible for this? What do they want and on whose orders? I want you guys to give me a satisfactory answer regarding the identity of the culprit." Jenna came out of the elevator and was walking towards Hansen's office when she heard Hansen's bellows. At first, she was shocked, but she soon realized what was happening. "You guys don't have the right to reveal my story to the public. Consider this a warning. You guys had better apologize or I'm definitely going to sue you. If you feel that you have the ability to go against me, then you may ignore what I've said. However, I won't give you a second chance." Obviously, Hansen already received news about what had happened. He was smart and sharp. Without a doubt, he knew that something was amiss. Jenna stood in the corridor, debat
A woman burst into tears in front of her husband, attempting to get her husband's sympathy by acting pathetically. Jenna felt like she might puke in disgust. She felt a lump in her throat and she felt incredibly uncomfortable. She shot her a cold glare. "Jenna, how about this? You can do whatever you want. We should not allow those who don't know the rules to remain in the company. That's a breach of integrity." After hearing what she said, Hansen understood immediately what happened and spoke his mind. Jenna raised her eyebrows and gave him an enigmatic smile as she glanced at Liya. At this moment, Liya's face grew dispirited. "How about this? You can leave your design over here. I will let you know my thoughts once I have looked through them. You may leave now. Remember to go through the company's code of conduct. I hope that you will not repeat your mistakes in the future," Jenna said lightly. All Jenna did was to look at her and smile. She did not hold
"Alvin, it looks like I need the Grand Eagles back in action." Upon returning to his office, Hansen immediately called for Alvin. "Mr. Richards, I feel that there is something amiss recently. Everything seems to be fine on the surface, but I have a bad feeling about this." Alvin also felt that something was wrong. He furrowed his brows and expressed his concerns. "Yes, I agree with you," Hansen said with a serious expression, nodding his head. "Alvin, bring some men along with you and investigate the matter. Find out who was responsible for snapping the photo when I met Luqman yesterday. We must find out why they published it in the newspapers and what their motives are." Alvin nodded. He turned around and left. Hansen made a call to the Richards Group's lawyer. His gaze turned cold. A City's media had gone overboard. How dare they publish a photo of him without informing him. It was infuriating. The next day, Jenna arrived at the company early in the morn
The hall of the Sky Blue Restaurant was lavishly designed. Love and lust filled the air. Hansen put on an air of indifference as he entered the restaurant. His gaze was ice-cold. Someone asked to meet him at the restaurant. Whoever it was, the person was being pretty mysterious. At first, he was reluctant to come. However, many bizarre events had occurred in the past few days and he felt kind of lost and unsure about what to do. Something was definitely amiss. He felt as if he was losing control of what was going to happen soon. Naturally, he loathed this feeling, as he was used to being in control and things had always turned out his way. Anyone could discern that the Sky Blue Restaurant was a place for lovers when they go on dates. However, someone requested to meet him over here. If he was not mistaken, the other party must be a woman. What kind of woman was she? He wondered where she got the guts to plan a date with him. On top of that, he
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
