"Hansen, have we reached home yet?" Jenna muttered in a daze. "Yeah, be a good girl. We're home now," Hansen answered gently. Jenna stretched out her hands and wrapped them around his neck, digging her head into his embrace. She then fell asleep again. Hansen looked at the woman in his embrace, whose face was red. Her hair was draped all over Hansen's arms, and her body was warm and soft. Her scent, mixed with the smell of sweat drifted into Hansen's nostrils along with the night wind, and it smelled nice. Hansen took a deep breath, in an attempt to breathe in her beauty. At that moment, he really wanted to swallow her whole and caress her, so that she would fuse with his body and never be separated from him. He tightened his arm around her with more strength as he carried her up. He turned on the faucet and began to fill the bathtub with water. Then, he helped her take off her clothes. Jenna was sleeping very soundly. In recent day
In the hotel suite, Oscar was leisurely sitting on the couch, waiting for Liya's arrival. Actually, he preferred women who were more feminine and gentle like Liya compared to Zoella. Although Zoella was beautiful as well, she was too strong-willed, which turned him off. Women who were soft and feminine like Liya were endearing. Liya unwillingly pressed the doorbell. "Beauty, you're here." Oscar smiled and bared his yellow teeth, with his eyes full of lustful desire. With one hand, he picked Liya up, as if he was picking up a chick and walked towards the room. "Mr. Jones, I beg you. Please let me go." Liya's entire body was trembling, and her face was pale as she begged in terror. "If I let you go, then who will play with me?" Oscar would definitely not let her go. His face sank, and his gaze turned fierce and violent. Oscar would do nothing all day long. He would save his energy during the day, which caused his demands for women at night to become abnormal
The auction began on time. Jenna's thoughts were scattered. She was not interested in all the jewelry and gold. Hence, before the jade fan was auctioned, she was absent-minded and listless. The scene of Hansen hugging Liya flashed in front of her eyes. She imagined their intimacy and at the thought of Hansen kissing Liya like how he kissed her. She felt a wave of sadness in her heart. At the same time, she felt nauseous. So, she covered her mouth with her hand. After some time, she heard the auctioneer shouting, "Twin Plum Fan, a jade fan from the past. The quality of the jade is exquisite, and the workmanship is excellent..." When Jenna heard the words "Twin Plum Fan", she immediately sprung up and lifted the sign in her hand. "A hundred thousand dollars," she said in a loud voice. After a moment of silence, there was a sudden burst of laughter. After hearing the laughter, Jenna realized that she had set a bid before the auctioneer even finished exp
There were many undercover guards along the way, and they were all trying their best to pretend to be passers-by. Jenna was secretly stunned. Who in the world was that person? How could she have such an imposing air? According to the man, that person was a woman. She walked carefully. For a moment, she regretted her decision. What if... Jenna felt very uneasy. Two foreign men were guarding the entrance of the private room with their faces devoid of emotions. They were fully armed. After seeing that, Jenna only felt like fleeing from that place. That scene was slightly terrifying and it just so happened that Hansen was away to to be with Liya. She didn't want to chat with that noble lady, and she had no intention of flattering the other party to climb up the social ladder either. So what if she had a very noble identity? She didn't envy such fame. In fact, Jenna really had nothing to talk about with her. What could she talk about wit
"Madam Lilian, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that you were interested in this jade fan. I really was rude to you today." Jenna's face turned red with embarrassment. Then, she lifted her head and said with great regret, "Madam Lilian, if my mother hadn't insisted on obtaining this fan, I would have given it to you, but she wants this jade fan very badly. Yesterday, she specifically told me to come to the auction to bid for it. You know that my mother has always treated me well. That's why I don't want to let her down and disappoint her. Therefore, I could only apologize to you with regards to this jade fan." "Oh, I see." Madam Lilian nodded as if she had understood something, and her eyes turned even more profound. She put the jade fan back into the box, stroked it, and handed it back to Jenna, asking with concern, "May I ask why your mother wants this jade fan?" "This..." Jenna shook her head and smiled helplessly. "Madam Lilian, to be honest, I don't know why Mom wants this
"Hansen, you promised me if I obtained the evidence Zoella used to frame Jenna, you'll marry me. You can't go back on your word, alright?" After Liya sat down on the sofa, she lifted her head and spoke with tears in her eyes. The light in Hansen's eyes flickered. "So, do you mean that you've obtained it?" he asked in a deep voice. "Hansen, will you fulfil your promise?" Liya didn't answer him as she pressed on. Looking at her, Hansen forced a smile and nodded after quite some time. "Of course, I won't go back on my word." "Well, I finally obtained the evidence Zoella used to frame Jenna, and I can hand it over to you right now. Then, when are you going to marry me, Hansen?" The expression on Liya's face showed that she was staking everything on that, and she was also determined. Hansen's eyes flashed as he asked without batting an eyelid, "Liya, did you really obtain the evidence?" "Yes." Liya looked up and nodded. "Hansen, you shou
As soon as Jenna returned to the Ink Garden's office, she saw Maud hurriedly coming in with a panicked look on his face. It was obvious that he had something important to ask her. "Madam, I have something to tell you." As soon as Maud entered the room, he respectfully reported to Jenna. "What's the matter?" Jenna asked with a smile, prompting him not to be so anxious. "It's like this, Madam." Maud wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Yesterday, Liya came to find me and said that she's moving into Richards Manor. Since she insisted that it was Mr. Richards' orders, I had no choice but to arrange accommodation for her." Maud spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that Jenna would be provoked. Jenna just replied a faint 'oh', as a hint of imperceptible pain flashed in her eyes, saying flatly, "I already know about this matter. Just follow Mr. Richards' orders." "Yes, Madam. I've already arranged accommodation for her according to the rules of Richards Mano
"Look carefully. This is Jenna's fingerprint, obtained by someone Zoella sent to the Richards Group, and she used the workshop Jenna established to achieve her own goal. What do you think? Can this prove that Jenna is innocent?" Hansen stared at him with his stern eyes in a calm manner. Sergio looked at it for a while, took a breath and said with a smile, "Mr. Richards, this evidence can indeed prove that our investigation is wrong and Jenna is innocent. But right now, the problem is that it only proves that the matter has nothing to do with Jenna, but it can't prove that the Richards Group is innocent as well. You need to know that the information we got at the beginning was that Richards Group's automobile industry had leaked the nation's secrets. It happened to the Richards Group's automobile industry. It's a fact, and we have clear evidence. Right now, not only are you unable to find the culprit, you aren't able to justify yourself either. There is no way to deny the accusati
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
