Johan mumbled a reply and didn't mind it, as he said, "Just tell me about your request." Hansen sat down and asked in a solemn manner, "Grandpa Johan, it's about Yadriel's election. Do you think he's capable of governing the Capital City?" Hansen didn't bring up anything else but this question. Upon hearing this, Johan frowned, but his expression was still calm, without any trace of emotion. "Hansen, it is not up to me to decide whether he is a suitable governor or not. The citizens will decide his fate through their votes," Johan replied faintly before turning around to look at him and said, "Hansen, I heard that your Richards Group is in trouble now. You better tell me what happened and if there was any crime involved. If there was, then I will never let you get away with this." Hansen's face fell as he heard that. He then said, "Grandpa Johan, the Richards Group has always been clean and proper. We will never involve ourselves in any illegal activity. I
"Mr. Richards, Irvin and I were raised by Vivian, and we have been working for her all this while. She gave me a list, and on that list were people whom she had financially sponsored throughout her life. She wanted me to preserve the list in Richards Manor's history. Sara's name was on that list. Therefore, Madam Lilian must be somehow connected to Richards Manor." Irvin continued to analyze. Hansen could no longer remain calm upon hearing that. A list of names whom Vivian had sponsored? Hansen had seen that list when he had flipped through Richards Manor's hundred-year long history in the study, but there wasn't anything to specify what that list about. So, Hansen was clueless about it until Paul brought it up. Hansen did, in fact, see Sara's name on that list. Hansen became more confused as he thought about it. He couldn't calm down as he tossed and turned in bed that night, unable to fall asleep. He was thinking of Jenna and all the memories they had spent to
Yadriel glanced at Sergio, and his face darkened. "Sergio, I know what you're thinking about. You have to stop thinking about being with Jenna, or you'll ruin yourself," Yadriel said with a harsh tone. Sergio trembled a little as there was something complicated in his gaze. If Jenna really had the 'Ocean Heart' with her, then what would Yadriel do to Jenna? Sergio didn't want to imagine that. He could never hurt Jenna. "Dad, I understand." Sergio lowered his head in the face of Yadriel's scolding. He did not dare to spend another second under Yadriel's stern gaze. Sergio left dejectedly. "He's really good-for-nothing." Yadriel sighed as he watched Sergio leave. How could Sergio be so foolish to fall for a woman? Moreover, on top of that, it was an unrequited love! Thinking that it was a matter of time for Sergio to suffer a loss, Yadriel's heart ached. It was normal for people to fantasize about beautiful things. If Sergio found Jenna gor
"Jenna, just give me some of it." Liya immediately panicked and held Jenna's hand when she saw that Jenna was about to leave. She had to get some cash from Jenna no matter what. She then said, "Jenna, it's not your money. Why do you have to make things so difficult?" Jenna was furious with her attitude, and she immediately shoved Liya's hand away and left the office. However, Liya continued to hold onto her and kept shouting. Disgust surged within Jenna's heart as she felt like something was rushing up from her stomach. All the pulling and tugging caused Jenna to sprain her ankle, and she was falling backwards. "Madam, watch out." Lomen immediately jumped in from the opened window. He got hold of Jenna just in time and then shouted at Liya, "Let go of her." Liya trembled after being shouted at by Lomen. She loosened her grip on Jenna. "What do you think you're doing? You b*tch," Marissa yelled as she rushed in. She was there coincidentally, and she s
"In fact, it isn't necessary to get Old Madam's approval. We just have to get hold of the treasure. Vivian can't recognize anyone anymore. So, this is our best chance. Finders keepers. Not many people know about the treasure, not even Madam Marissa or Mr. Trevor. You just have to think of a way to get hold of the treasure. Then, who is it to say that you can't keep it as your own?" Letty persuaded. She noticed that Liya was a little dejected, and her persuasion made Liya nod in agreement. "You did well today, and I'm glad you came to me. How about this? You'll follow me, and I'll offer you benefits when I stand firm one day." Liya was delighted to get this information, hence she made an offer to Letty. Upon hearing this, Letty seemed overjoyed as well. She smiled widely and thanked her repeatedly. "By the way, do you have any idea where the treasure is kept?" Liya immediately asked as she thought of the question. "I don't know about this, but I assume that it's
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Norton asked as he touched his face and eyed Sabrina up and down. Earlier, she was out of the shower and in her pyjamas, but she had changed into the outfit she had worn during the day. Norton restrained from a burst of laughter and said, "Look at you. You don't even have a nice body. Why are you covering yourself up? No one will even bother to look at you. Norton gave her a sideways glance. He was clearly asking for a fight. Sabrina was pissed off. Anger surged within her. She was chilling in her room after a shower. Not only did he barge into her room and peek at her in such a revealing manner, he also criticized her with such harsh remarks. That was too much of him. It was not her personality to let someone bully her like that. Sabrina's face sank as she glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open and said, "Norton, I could have kicked you out for breaking into my bedroom, but I didn't, and it was out of re
By the pond in Ink Garden, Sabrina was sitting on a bench with her face buried in her knees, sobbing. Jenna walked over and sat down beside her. "Sabrina, tell me, what's wrong?" Jenna stroked her hair and asked gently. Hearing Jenna's voice, Sabrina looked up and buried her head in Jenna's shoulder as she broke down in tears. Jenna's heart ached. That year on New Year's Eve, she also cried while hiding in a corner, heartbroken. Norton betrayed her just as she first started to fall for someone. She was in pain after being humiliated by the one she loved. Jenna regretted keeping that from Sabrina. She wasn't a good sister figure to Sabrina. How should she comfort Sabrina that night? "Jenna, I want to leave here tomorrow." After crying for some time, Sabrina looked up at Jenna and said firmly, with tears still welling up in her eyes. Jenna was startled. Her gaze was dark and gloomy. Sabrina had been helpful all that while. She couldn't bear the t
Claude was unhappy to hear that. "From what you just said, you're into this because of how wealthy the Newton family is, aren't you? You like Carmella because of this, don't you? This is Norton's marriage we're talking about. Why does it matter if you like it or not? No matter how amazing Carmella is, that's because of her own effort. Norton has just started building his career. Will he be happy to be with Carmella? Madam Madeline has always been a snob. The Newton family won't be where they are today if it weren't for their connections. Do you know that none of their youngsters got married out of love? Just take a look at Frederic. Do you really think that Norton and Carmella will fall in love with each other if you arrange this for them? You can't do this without informing Norton beforehand," Claude said. He was reminded of his own marriage, which was also arranged by Elmore for the sake of building the Richards family business. There was no love at all between him and Maria, a
