Liya made up her mind and lifted her head. She had already handed the evidence that could prove that Jenna had been framed to Hansen. Therefore, she would never accept being driven away like that. "No, Mom. Hansen and I are about to get married. He has already promised to marry me in a week's time. You can't drive me away like this. If you really want me to leave, you have to ask Hansen first." Liya prostrated herself on the floor and cried. She refused to leave no matter what, to the point that she even brought up Hansen. Seeing that Liya was making a scene and she even brought up Hansen, the rage in Marissa's heart surged, and she was about to order the security guards to drive her out. Then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. "What happened? Why is everyone gathered around here?" Hansen's voice rang along with the sound of footsteps. "Hansen, Mom wants to drive me away." After hearing Hansen's voice, Liya's eyes sparkled. She lifted her eyes t
In the chapel of Richards Manor. Trevor and Hansen both knelt in front of the altar. "Hansen, we can't sit by and do nothing when Yadriel is smuggling weapons and harming the interests of the country. The following battle will be the most intense one so far, but we have to rescue Claude before that. We must not let them get hold of the Richards family's weakness." After bowing a few times to the Virgin Mary effigy, Trevor spoke in a loud and clear tone in front of the altar. "Dad, I will not betray Jenna by marrying Liya. Besides, how can I let such a woman marry into the family? Therefore, we must win this time. Otherwise, I can't bear to face Jenna, Jerry, and God." Hansen bowed three times devoutly before closing his eyes. Due to the fact that he had spread the news of him marrying Liya, Jerry would pout and pull a long face whenever he saw him. That kid's prejudice against him was deep right then, as he was certain that Hansen didn't want him and his m
Hansen held her waist with one hand and her small hand with his other. He exerted more strength to stop her from getting up, as he knew that Jenna had a grudge against him. However, he didn't explain anything. He just held her, and the two continued to nestle like that. Seeing him trying to soothe her, Jenna said bitterly, "Don't worry. I'll fulfil my duty as the legal wife that day. I'll prepare the wedding for you, and make it grand and glorious, so that you won't be embarrassed. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely do it." Hansen caressed her sallow face as gently as the spring breeze. After a while, he asked softly, "Jenna, are you really personally going to host the wedding for me? You can choose not to participate." "No, I want to participate. I want others to see how virtuous and generous I am as a wife. I want people to know that you already have a very virtuous wife, and then let all the men in A City admire you and set a precedent, so that they can take
In a luxurious limousine, Jenna was sitting in the middle of the back row, whereas Maud was sitting in the front while indicating the directions. The driver was concentrating on driving Jenna to the most hygienic and top-grade vegetable market in the city. Jenna personally selected the ingredients, from meat to vegetables, all of which were the freshest and of the finest grade. She did not prepare too many ingredients as she wanted the meal to be light. Instead, she prepared two seasonal dishes, soup, and invited two chefs, who specialized in street food. She personally cooked the dishes and soup, and monitored how the two chefs made the unique street food dishes in the kitchen of the five-star hotel. Then, she went down and personally invited Madam Lilian into the guest room. When Madam Lilian saw Jenna, she was all smiles. Also, when she learnt that Jenna personally made that meal for her, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and her eyes were filled with grateful
"Thank you." After Sadiva thanked him, he gulped down the glass of wine and sighed faintly. "Alas, you guys won't know how hard it is to be the mayor. Only someone who had been a mayor before knows the hardships of being one." Hansen blinked his eyes and smiled faintly when he heard that. "Mr. Garver, we are all people of A City. If there is anything that I can help you with, then feel free to speak up," Hansen said sincerely. "Alright." Sadiva was waiting for him to say that. Thus, he immediately agreed. "To be honest, the Regional Games is a great opportunity, due to the fact that the whole world's attention will be focused here. And people from around the world will come to A City as well. This is a very good thing for A City, especially the economy of A City. But no matter how amazing it is, I still have to invest in it and make the event glamorous, so that the outside world will be confident and have a good impression on A City. Only through this way can we attra
"Handsome lad, you really want to be with me for the night?" It was as if Jenna was talking in her sleep. Then, she reached out her other hand, placed it softly on his neck, and mumbled coquettishly. A dark flame quickly and violently spread throughout Hansen's body. When Jenna's mind was clear, she would always be prim and proper. She would never make advances to seduce him like that. However, right then, she had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and she latched her soft body directly onto his. Then, she rubbed her body against him in his embrace, which made his blood boil. D*mned woman. How thirsty was she!? It seemed that he needed to restrict her from consuming alcohol in the future. If he hadn't met her that day, then the consequences... Hansen's heart sank, but his thoughts became more and more messy, and he couldn't think properly anymore. At that time, Jenna, who was in his embrace, was touching every part of his body without any restraint.
Jenna could only hold Jerry tightly in her arms and console him. "Jerry, be good. Even if Dad marries another woman, Dad will still love you, and Mom will only love you even more. Grandpa and Grandma also love you a lot. So, be happy, alright?" "It's not the same. It's completely different." Jerry shook his head and cried out loudly, saying, "That wicked woman will steal Dad's heart and harm me. That way, Dad won't like Mom anymore." As he spoke, he sobbed while he was in Jenna's arms, looking heartbroken. Jenna was at a loss for words. For a moment, she did not know how to comfort him. Her eyes turned red too. All of a sudden, a deep voice sounded beside her. She lifted her head, only to see that Hansen was looking at both mother and son with a complicated expression. Clearly, he had overheard their entire conversation just then. Jenna was heartbroken. She then picked up Jerry and was about to walk outside. "Jenna, let me hold Jerry." Hansen blocked
In the picturesque Ink Garden, ancient vines wrapped around the wall and extended to the side of the window. Jenna was sitting in the office, feeling restless, and looking at the greenery outside in a daze. Right then, Hansen should've gone out with Liya to buy their wedding outfits! Her eyes were dry, and her heart ached. She couldn't hold it in anymore. So, she stood up and walked towards the small room at the side. "Madam." The security guard in the room greeted her respectfully when he saw her coming in. "Show me the surveillance camera at the entrance of Richards Manor." Unexpectedly, Jenna gave an order to the security guard. Richards Manor had a lot of outdoor spaces that were installed with security cameras. There were also guards monitoring the surveillance cameras at all times to ensure the safety of the manor. "Alright, please wait for a moment." After the security guard heard the order, he immediately shifted to the surveillance cam
