The light in the private lounge was dim, but it did not hinder Hansen from seeing Zoella's eyes clearly. He frowned and reached out his hand to clasp her chin. "Zoella, let me warn you. If you insist on putting the blame on the Richards Group, then come at us. However, the consequences of maliciously framing us, as well as breaking the law, I think you know it well too. So, don't blame me for not reminding you at that time." Hansen could understand a little about that woman's intentions. Nevertheless, her behavior was too ridiculous and unreasonable. He did not think that Zoella had any special feelings for him. After all, they had been rivals ever since they were young. Although they had met a few times when they were young, Hansen had never once looked at her properly. Therefore, he believed that Zoella's behavior right then was because she was misled, and she blamed all her father's failure and death on the Richards Group. In the business world, everyone had
The summer sun shone through the dense green trees outside the window and fell onto Sara's face and body. She was sitting in a wheelchair and was very sad. Jenna did not listen to her advice and insisted on reconciling with Hansen. Not long after, Hansen was plagued with nasty rumors. The fact that he was going to take a second wife was a hot topic in the newspapers. In the face of her criticism, Hansen stated his opinion frankly. This made Sara feel sad and distressed. So far, Trevor and Marissa had never given her a direct answer. So, she had no choice but to wait. More importantly, even her daughter had no movements anymore. It was as if she had already accepted reality. Also, since Jenna last returned to her parents' home and stayed for a few days, she hadn't called Sara to speak about this matters. Sara's hair had already started to turn gray, and there were more and more wrinkles on her face. Ever since Javon's untimely death, her life had take
In a luxurious apartment in A City. The hot air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and sweat. At the end of the corridor, a wall was blocking a pool table that was five or six meters long, and the game was broadcast on an HDTV screen. The goons were smiling as they showed their cards. Meanwhile, a woman in a miniskirt could be seen serving the gamblers drinks. When Hansen arrived there with John and Alvin, the game was at its climax. He scanned the place with his stern eyes. There were indeed quite a few men who were immersed in a gambling session in the casino. He was searching for Reid. At that time, there were piles of money, property ownership documents, gold, silver, and jewelry on the gambling table. A lot of gamblers cursed their bad fortune, as they took the wrong bet, and their curses rose one after another. "Mr. Richards, should we call the police? The bald middle-aged man in the middle who's wearing a silk top is Reid." Alvin's
"Reid, you really don't f*cking know the vast difference between heaven and earth. Jenna will be my only wife. This is proven to be true by the law and the rule of my family that Richards Manor agreed on. No one can change it. Also, is Liya qualified to be my wife? Even if she becomes my second wife, she is already considered extremely lucky." Hansen sneered again and again as he spoke sarcastically. Upon hearing that, Reid's gaze darkened. Indeed, with Liya's status, she could at most become Hansen's second wife, and the fact that she would be Hansen's second wife was in the newspapers too. If she were to become Hansen's legal wife by coercion, the difference would be too great. Hansen's face right at the moment was very terrifying. If he were to anger that man, then the one who would suffer would still be Liya. Furthermore, Liya's marriage to Hansen as the second wife had already been agreed upon long ago. It would be very unrealistic to change it right then. Theref
Liya was the one who gave Zoella, Jenna's fingerprints, and she was also the one who tried to frame Jenna when she was working on the online workshop. Although she didn't do it alone, she was still the one who personally gave it to Zoella. That day at Zoella's house, she accidentally turned around when she was about to leave and coincidentally saw where Zoella had put it. After making up her mind just like that, she left. She walked aimlessly and arrived at Richards Manor. The gatekeeper of Richards Manor knew that she was Hansen's future second wife. So, he let her in. Liya then got on the electric vehicle, and made her way to the pool when she heard laughter coming from its direction. When she looked up, she saw Jerry playing alone by the pool. The dark side of her heart broke out at once. Why should she be tortured while Jenna could live happily as the head of the household of Richards Manor, be doted on by Hansen, and have everyone's respect?
"No matter where we are, Jerry is just a three-year-old boy. You pushed him into the water because you wanted to kill him. This is completely different from him voluntarily wanting to play in the water. Say, if you have any opinions against me, then come straight at me. If you dare to do such a thing to Jerry again, I'll definitely chase you out. Also, I certainly won't let this matter slide just like that. I'll absolutely tell Hansen," Jenna said sternly with a grim face. To think that a woman would lay her hands on a child, one could only imagine how vicious her heart was. It was only then, did Liya come back to her senses. Jenna was still in charge of this family. Not to mention that she was only a second wife Hansen had yet married, even if she married into the family in the future, she still had to be very careful, especially around Jenna. If Jenna complained about such a matter, she wouldn't even need to think of getting married to this family anymore. Tre
Upon seeing the changes on Liya's expression, Jenna said solemnly, "Liya, since you've received your higher education, you should understand that Vivian has done her best for you. You have no blood relation with the Richards family, while your mother was just Claude's mistress and nothing more. Also, the fact that the Richards family welcomed your mother to stay in Richards Manor was purely out of kindness, as your mother has her own family to begin with. You know how much money your Dad tried to extort from Richards Manor in the past, right? Do you really think Vivian kicking you and your mother out of the manor was really a big sin? Even if your mother once conceived Claude's child, Vivian could just compensate her, but she did more than that. Do you still think that Richards Manor and Vivian owe you and your mother?" Jenna's voice was a little cold as she warned Liya seriously. "What's most important for a woman is to know how to love herself and act with propriety. Only
"There's really no need for that." Jenna pushed him. How could Hansen carry her like that in broad daylight? Liya was still watching from the sidelines too. Hansen held her tightly in his arms and carried her to the electric vehicle. He then placed her on his lap and lowered his head to kiss her red lips. Jenna's face instantly turned red. It was still daytime right then. What was he doing! Liya stood rooted to the spot, as she watched Hansen affectionately leave with Jenna in his arms. Her face turned pale, and she really didn't know what to do, as tears welled up in her eyes. At that time, she understood that she would never be able to replace Jenna in that family. In the study on the third floor, Trevor stood by the window and saw what had happened downstairs. The corner of the old man's eyes had a lot more wrinkles within just a few days, and those were traces of his old age, as well as the effects of the urgent situation currently. He looked at the sc
