In the luxurious office of the International Kinsey Center, Hansen was concentrating and frowning while browsing a website. "Knock, knock!" There was a gentle but audible knock on the door. "Come in." Hansen lifted his head. Liya's beautiful and delicate figure appeared at the door of the office. He was stunned for a moment before he squinted and immediately smiled. "Hansen." Having received permission from Hansen, Liya was extremely happy. Like a gust of wind, she moved swiftly into the office and approached Hansen. However, just as she met his smiling eyes, she suddenly shivered. Although the smile of tall and distinguished Hansen in front of her was so cordial, there was a wave of terror emanating from him, especially the unseen pressure radiating from his body. It made it difficult for her to breathe. It seemed that there had always been waves of murderous intent swirling in the air around him. His eyes were full of his smiles and were so enchanting. Yet, it
Meanwhile, after Jenna got up, she went to the living room downstairs after having a wash. Aunt Ella was painstakingly preparing breakfast for her. "Mommy." Jerry, who was waiting for Jenna with excitement and anticipation, ran quickly towards her when he saw her. "Jerry." Jenna crouched down and stretched out her hands to pick him up. The mother and son hugged each other. They were extremely affectionate. "Aunt Ella, where's Hansen?" Jenna asked Aunt Ella as she held Jerry in her arms and played with him. Upon hearing Jenna's question, Aunt Ella quickly replied with a smile, "Madam, Mr. Richards had gone out early in the morning." Ever since Hansen became the President of the Richards Group, everyone in the family had begun to address him as Mr. Richards and Jenna had also earned the right to be called 'Madam'. Hansen left early in the morning? Jenna frowned slightly. "Mommy, I haven't seen Daddy for days. I haven't seen Daddy hug
She didn't even know how she managed to drive to the Richards Group. Aunt Ella was right. If the Richards Group failed in the luxury car department, there would still be a lot of other industries to tackle. After all, they were a rich and powerful family. Their properties alone were enough to make people envious. Liya's family was not well off, and she had connections within Richards Manor. If she could become Hansen's second wife, she would totally agree to it... Jenna suddenly had an awful headache. Her car swayed from side to side, making the people outside scold her. It took her a lot of effort to reach the underground parking lot. When she opened the door, she felt that her hands and feet were cold, as if they were not hers. "Jenna," As soon as she got out of the car and walked a few steps forward, she almost knocked the pole in front of her. Fortunately, someone reached out and grabbed her in time. She turned around and saw Sergio. His anxious face w
"Liya, where is Hansen?" Jenna asked in a straightforward manner. She sized Liya up and asked in a cold voice, "How can you walk around in your own clothes during work hours? Don't you have a uniform?" Jenna directly called out Hansen's name. Her temperament was obvious to Liya that Hansen was her husband and that her position was very special. However, Liya blinked her big eyes and deliberately pretended to be confused. She asked, smiling. "Well, Secretary Murphy, you may not know that I'm no longer working in the Network Department. Mr. Richards personally appointed me as the director of the Global Sales and Marketing Department. Just now, I accompanied Mr. Richards to meet with clients. Moreover, Mr. Richards also agreed that I don't have to wear my work uniform. Is there any problem?" Liya kept mentioning 'Mr. Richards'. She seemed to be very friendly, but in fact, she didn't take Jenna seriously at all. She even deliberately raised her voice to ask if there
"Hansen, don't you have any feelings for me left? Why, why did it become this way?" She shouted in pain and sorrow behind him, "Is it because of the car crisis we are facing? That's nothing. We can face it together. It's true. Believe me, this crisis will soon be over. By then, the luxury car industry of the Richards Group will dominate the market. Believe me, I am confident." Tears streamed down her face, and she was devastated. Indeed, as long as Hansen remained by her side, she would not be afraid of anything. After all, everything depended on them. She had already found a way. Soon, she would be able to get the Richards Group's luxury car industry back on its feet again. She was not afraid of anything as long as he was by her side. However, what he did to her was an insult. The hurt he caused was devastating and it was too much for her to bear. It was worse than dying. How could she withstand it? She cried until she was breathless as she looked at his
"Alvin, keep searching. Don't be lax, not even for a moment," he ordered, gritting his teeth. He didn't expect her to run out within such a short time. Thinking of what happened this afternoon, he grimaced. The Hummer drove along the river for a few laps but he still couldn't find her. His heart began to sink. "Mr. Richards, there is no sign of Madam anywhere." After an hour, Alvin, who was panting, rushed over, with a helpless expression on his face. Hansen sat motionlessly. "However, Mr. Richards, Sergio is not around too." Alvin reminded him after thinking for a while. Light flashed across Hansen's eyes. "Alvin, from today onwards, you will stay by Madam's side. You must ensure her safety and do not allow any accidents to happen to her. Do you understand?" After a while, Hansen ordered in detail. "But, Mr. Richards, I still have tasks to complete. And I think it's better for me to stay with you now." Alvin knew what Hansen was thinking. Afte
"Sergio, where is my wife?" Hansen asked harshly as soon as Sergio picked up his call. Sergio was lying languidly on the bed, watching Jenna get up from his arms in a panic. Her face was blushing red and Sergio admired her embarrassment. He was in a very good mood. "It's really weird. Your wife is missing and you're asking for me if I know where she is. Where is the logic in that?" Sergio lay there lazily and his tone was faint, but he was looking at Jenna's face. He imagined Hansen's furious look in his mind, and he felt incredibly pleased. The smile on his face slowly widened. Hansen gripped the steering wheel tightly. Listening to Sergio's calm manner of speaking, he was certain that Jenna must be with him. The look in his eyes was frightening. He held his breath and said coldly, "Mr. Xanthe, do you think it's appropriate for you, a high-ranking official, to be with a married woman? Do you want me to go to the disciplinary inspection committee or to Capital C
"Mrs. Richards, although new things are good, some are toxic. For example, clothes. If you wear new clothes, it may not be good for your health. Old clothes may be slightly ugly, but the harmful chemicals have long been absorbed by others for you." "When you're wearing it, you don't have to worry if it's safe." Zoella maintained her smiling face, but her voice was surprisingly cold. "Also, Mrs. Richards, I have to remind you that no matter how good something is, you must watch over it. You must have the ability to look after it, in order to be worthy of it. Otherwise, if you only compromise and retreat to gain sympathy, it won't work. Even if you can do it, it will only be temporary. I think you should understand." Zoella said this on purpose. She looked at Jenna coldly as she spoke. Currently, the entertainment media was filled with news of the love affair between Hansen and Liya, and it was even exposed to the public. What would happen to Jenna, who was
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
