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
"Miss Yates, what do you mean?" What she said was exactly what he had been worrying about for the past few days. Alarmed, he couldn't help but to press further for details. "Alas, Mr. Richards, you are smart and sharp. Don't tell me that you have no idea what I'm talking about." Zoella flashed him a smile, which sent a chill down his spine. "Where did you get this information from?" Hansen frowned and asked with a deeper voice. A slow smile worked its way across her face and into her eyes. "Mr. Richards, it's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I have done my part. There must be a reason why I'm aware of this. Mr. Richards, it's best if you don't probe any further. Once she was done, her gaze fleeted across his face and a wry smile briefly touched her lips. She gave him a meaningful look and was about to leave. "Mr. Richards, I'll take my leave for now." Her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled. She spun around, ready to leave.
"Jenna," he murmured. "I was just kidding. Don't worry, you and Jerry are very important to me. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will ensure that both of you live a happy and comfortable life. Trust me." He held her tightly. "Alright." Jenna broke into a smile and hugged him tightly. "What about you? What did you want to tell me?" He locked her in an embrace and whispered into her ears. Looking abashed, Jenna smiled and said, "To be frank, it's exactly what I've said just now. Richards Group is such a successful business. You must protect it well. Don't you think about handing it over to me. I won't allow it." "Is that all you want to say? It looks like you can read my mind. You do understand me well." Hansen grinned. "Don't worry, I promise you. You must promise me as well to be strong in the future no matter what happens. Is that okay for you?" "Sure." Jenna agreed instantly. As long as he was by her side, she would be strong, no matter
