In the summer, the weather was rather impermanent. After a heavy rain, the gloomy air disappeared, with fresh air constantly flowing in through the window. Sara sat in front of the study, breathing in the fresh air, and her depressed mood instantly lightened up. The staged wedding that had happened in Richards Manor, as well as the fact that Hansen had personally clarified the rumor of him getting a second wife, improved Sara's mood. Hansen was truly in love with Jenna. Through this incident, she was able to make out what was going on. Although Sara disagreed with Hansen's method of 'marrying a second wife' to solve the problem. Nonetheless, after careful analysis, this kind of arrangement was also the best shortcut to solving the problem. She took a deep breath and looked down from the French windows. Even though she was on the 28th floor, she keenly noticed the disturbance of the neighbourhood below as she sat there everyday to enjoy the scenery ou
"Sara, your legs..." Madam Lilian's hands twitched, and she moved them towards Sara's legs, which were missing below her thighs. When Sara was at home, she did not wear artificial limbs as she would feel pain from the friction. Therefore, when Madam Lilian didn't feel anything there, she was stunned. Her voice trembled, and she could not speak. Sara recovered from the panic in no time. She knew that she was overthinking it. Flavian had once drunkenly told Sara when she was a child that her mother had already died. She did not believe that there was any connection between Madam Lilian and herself. At that moment, she avoided the topic of her injury and smiled calmly. "Madam Lilian, Jenna often talks about you, saying that she likes you very much. She also mentioned that she has already considered you her grandmother." Madam Lilian had experienced countless great events, but it was hard for her to recover from this shock. There was almost no need to verify it. At
Liya obligingly entered Oscar's luxurious vehicle. She knew that this man was a jerk, pervert, and was as disgusting as a pig. However, Zoella was dependent on him. Since Zoella could make use of him, why couldn't Liya take advantage of him as well? She neither had any relatives nor any loved ones. Even her Uncle Reid was dead. Hence, she could only rely on her body right now. In fact, Liya was very clear about the grudges between Elsie and Richards Manor. After all, she was a top student. The Richards family owed her nothing! The behavior of her family, especially Fadison's, could even be considered shameless. However, she noticed another realistic problem. Before she graduated, she had to go through internships. After graduating, she had been looking for jobs everywhere for months. In those times, she was treated with indifference. Even if she found a job, it was either her salary would be too low to bear, or she would be given th
In the Green Jade Garden's study, Hansen sat on the couch, cross-legged with one hand on its arm and the other on the dark red wooden desk. His face was devoid of emotions, and his jet-black eyes were sharp and deep. There was a light knock on the door. "Come in," he directed in a deep voice. The door was pushed open and the medium-sized man, Paul, came in. Hansen lifted his gaze and motioned for him to close the door with his sharp gaze constantly fixed on his face. Paul turned around and closed the door quietly. "Mr. Richards." He came over and greeted softly in a courteous manner. Hansen's gaze was alert and menacing. There was a slight panic on Paul's face. Being observed by Hansen's eagle-like gaze, he showed unrestrained panic and unease. Hansen stared at him for a while before pursing his lips and tapping the table with his fingers. "Paul, aren't you going to tell me anything?" His tone was indifferent and casual, but h
In the Ink Garden. Vivian hadn't eaten for nearly a week. She was relying on the IV drip to sustain her life. When Hansen walked in, Vivian was in a deep sleep. She spent most of her time sleeping those days. She was only half awake in a daze when she woke up and couldn't recognise anyone anymore. Her life was coming to an end. She didn't have much time left. Besides Meroy, several servants also stayed in the room by her side all the time. Hansen entered and looked at his grandmother. His heart was heavy. "Mr. Richards, I have something to discuss with you." Meroy followed as Hansen entered the chamber. "Meroy, just shoot it!" Hansen raised his head slightly and urged gently. He had always treated Vivian's aide, Meroy, with respect. "Mr. Richards, there's a matter that might sound rather strange." Meroy stepped forward and whispered, "Some time ago, when Old Madam was not herself and mostly in a daze, I saw her holding a black
Johan would hold a gathering like this once a year but Jenna was seldom invited. However, Johan had made an exception for Jenna to attend his birthday party. Zoella had always felt superior over Jenna since young. Although Javon was also a high-ranking civil servant, it really didn't mean anything! Why was Jenna invited to the party? On the surface, the party was held to celebrate Johan's birthday but that party was grander and carried way more significance than any other event held in the past. The elders had chosen the candidate to be Hansen's wife. If she guessed correctly, Vivian also expressed her opinion regarding this to Johan at the party. She was enraged. Her cool and handsome Hansen. She could guarantee that Hansen never knew who Jenna was. He never would have noticed her. He only entertained Sabrina, and Zoey was always pestering him. He wouldn't have acknowledged Jenna's presence and definitely wasn't aware of her existence. Z
Sergio stood in front of them without any facial expression. He looked at them coldly. In the past few days, he watched Hansen and Jenna showing affection and talking lovingly to each other. Their conversations were corny, and Sergio would overhear them occasionally. It was driving him crazy. Sergio finally managed to get away from the lovebirds. He wanted to have a moment of peace and calm to himself but he bumped into that d*mn Zoella. She brought shocking news along with her. Hansen had gone to Capital City to meet Luqman! Sergio was shocked and angry at the news! Would Hansen dare to oppose the Xanthe family openly? This was preposterous. Sergio rushed back to confront Hansen. He wanted to know what Hansen's intentions were by doing so. His gaze was sharp as an eagle as he stared at Hansen's hand, which was placed on Jenna's waist. His expression was as cold as steel. Sergio wanted to go up to him and replace his arm with
Johan was arrogant and stubborn. He had never once taken an interest in his disobedient son. He didn't want to look at Sara as he thought that they were the family's black sheep. He even set a house rule that no one should ever mention her. Madam Moore had shed many tears over this matter. Johan was a man of his word. He refused to recognize Sara as a member of the Moore family. Some may even describe him as extremely ruthless. However, Johan's temperament had changed gradually in recent years. When he knew about Sara's tragic situation, he secretly lent Sara a hand instead of staying on the sidelines. Never in Earl's wildest dream would he imagine Sara to be Johan's granddaughter. He had strategize carefully and tried his best to hide the news from the media, so that the public would not know the truth. He thought his plan was flawless but he failed to realize that Hansen had always been in love with Jenna. Therefore, Earl's failure was bound to happen! W
