"Norton, with us elders talking here, why don't you take Carmella to the lounge? You two can play some chess or chat around in there," Maria said out of concern for the bored Carmella in this environment. She was also giving them the chance to get to know each other. Carmella agreed with this suggestion, whereas Norton froze in place, as if he wasn't happy with the idea. Maria urged him a few more times. Norton had no choice but to leave with Carmella. "Norton, I heard that you're doing well in the N&S Group now, and you've managed your company well since it was listed. I heard you even defeated the Jones Group," Carmella said as they arrived in the chess room at the lounge. She was praising his achievements. It seemed like she knew him well. Norton sat casually without putting on any expression as he responded faintly, "It's nothing. It's all thanks to Jenna. Even if I did well, it's because she trained me well." Carmella definitely heard about Jenna and
"Norton, I heard that Mr. Xanthe is Sabrina's fiance and General Delia had already given his approval for them. Am I right?" Carmella asked in envy as her gaze fell on the three of them. They looked great together with their good looks. Norton was already upset as he couldn't approach them. Upon hearing Carmella's question, he felt even worse. He then answered coldly, "I don't know about that. Didn't hear about it." Carmella replied with a smile, "Mr. Xanthe and Sabrina are both the children of famous generals in Capital City. They match well. I actually envy them a lot after hearing about their marriage." Norton felt even more terrible upon hearing her words. His face tensed as he lowered his head and walked in silence. Sabrina was clearly steering away from him. She wouldn't let him approach her. No matter where they were headed to, even if they were taking some small breaks in between, Sabrina would make sure to keep a distance away from him. On top of that,
"Dr. Clancy, does she have a fracture to have an injury this serious?" Norton asked with great concern as Dr. Clancy started bandaging her wound. Dr. Clancy thought for a while with a troubled expression and said, "Young Master Richards, it's hard to tell without the proper equipment. I'd recommend taking some scans at the hospital for further confirmation. A fracture is not something we should take lightly. With the weather being this hot, it'd take her wounds a long time to heal completely." Norton was anxious to hear that. He immediately lifted Sabrina in his arms and ran out without hesitation. Jenna knew that he was taking her to the hospital for further examination. So, she didn't tag along. Sergio, who was at the side, was somehow frustrated to see Norton carrying his fiancée away right in front of him. Although Sergio didn't have feelings for Sabrina, she was still his fiancée by name. Rage was building within him, but Sergio couldn't show it. He r
Sabrina looked up in surprise. "Norton, what are you trying to imply? Shouldn't I be happy for you? You are at the right age to start a family after all." "You... are doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Norton's face sank as he stared fiercely at her. "I..." Sabrina was startled. She didn't know how much clearer she should explain things to make Norton understand. She said, "Norton, Carmella is amazing. She's pretty, has an amazing career, and a strong family background. She is a good match for you. I can tell that you two have a bright future together. On top of that, Madeline likes you, and your Mom likes Carmella too. You two are destined to be together. Norton, you should appreciate this more. I give you my blessings." Norton did not say anything, and he stared at Sabrina instead. His gaze was icy, and at the same time, terrifying. "Sabrina, it seems like I've been barking up the wrong tree. Even after everything we went through, you're still making fun of m
Jenna could understand the situation roughly up till then. She thought for a while before saying, "Sabrina, is that what you really want? Everything is possible in the name of love. Norton did hurt you before, and I'd support you if you really have no feelings for him anymore, but if you still have feelings, then I'd advise you to just look past that. He has turned over a new leaf, and I can tell that he's serious about you and that he loves you. No one is flawless, and I believe if one was determined to turn over a new leaf, then they'd only be a better person. If your only concern is with your father, that shouldn't be your concern at all. Trust me, Norton will become more mature in time, and your father will have second thoughts about him." Jenna said that after much consideration. Norton was a much better candidate than Hansen to be in the business sector with his calculating and shady tactics. Jenna believed that Norton was guaranteed to achieve success after a while, especi
At noon, Lomen rushed back from outside. He pulled Jenna to a quiet corner and said in a low voice, "Madam, I've asked around. The villa by the sea is indeed Liya's. The luxury car as well." "I see." Jenna frowned and then asked in confusion, "Where did she get the money to buy all these?" Jenna was shocked to hear that. She didn't believe Liya could afford those things. "Madam, they were all bought by Oscar Jones. From what I've gathered, she's his mistress, and Mr. Jones has spent tens of millions of dollars on her," Lomen said with a pained expression. Ah! Jenna was shocked upon hearing that fact. Her mouth agape for a long time. "Madam, this woman is just disgusting and horrible. She does things that are too shameful. You can already kick her out based on this fact alone. You don't have to be kind to her anymore," Lomen said. There was a hint of disgust flashing across his eyes. He almost threw up when he found out those facts. Jenna pondered.
Jenna read Liya's IOU over and over again before putting it away in her pocket. She then headed to the Green Jade Garden. Trevor gave her a call that morning, asking her to meet him in the study at Green Jade Garden later at noon. He told her to be secretive and not let anyone see her. Jenna was a little sleepy at noon, but knowing Trevor, he must have intended their meeting to be in secret, hence arranging it at noon. She got on the electric vehicle and headed towards the Green Jade Garden. It was quiet in the Green Jade Garden. Some of the maids were transferred to the Ink Garden, whereas some of them were still taking their nap. Jenna headed upstairs to take a look at Jerry. Aunt Ella was keeping him company in his room. Jerry was sleeping soundly. Jenna kissed his cheeks and stayed there for a short while. Ever since he knew that she was pregnant again, Jerry no longer stuck to her like glue. Jenna was also occupied with a lot of other matters. She was exhau
Madam Lilian smiled. She said in a peaceful tone, "Don't rush things. They will become impatient soon." "Ma'am, what do you mean?" Quina was a little puzzled. Madam Lilian smiled again. She didn't respond to that question. However, instead, she asked, "Quina, how are things going in A City?" Upon hearing that, Quina exclaimed, "Ma'am, you're right about that again! The Richards family is indeed about to face another crisis." Quina was emotional about that. She was impressed that Madam Lilian could leave A City without a trace back then. She couldn't imagine how heartbroken Madam Lilian must be for not being able to reunite with her daughter. However, after the peaceful visit to the Richards family, Madam Lilian left A City without anyone knowing. That might put some people at ease, but what was Madam Lilian planning to do next? Quina couldn't read through Madam Lilian's mind. Her tactics were always beyond her expectations. Madam Lilian breathe
