"Then, why did he get involved in this mess? It's not something to be taken lightly." Lilian was puzzled. "Madam, there must be something we don't know. According to what our team said, it seemed that Hansen had sent someone over to investigate the arms trafficking deal too. We haven't found out the specific reason yet but our people have already begun their investigation on this." Quina analyzed with a suspicious look on her face. Lilian looked deep in thought. As the president of a multinational company, he should be focusing on his business, but instead he got himself involved in the arms trafficking deal. It might put his life in danger. What was he thinking? Could there be a connection between the Richards family's crisis and the smuggling? If this was the case, then the Richards Group would be in an even more dangerous position. These smugglers were desperate people, who were capable of doing the most dangerous of things. Nobody in their right mind would c
"Jenna, I'll come home tomorrow. Wait for me. Now, go rest earlier," Hansen reassured her. He then teased her. "Watch out, I'll check on your diet records for the past few days. I'll smack your backside if you don't reach my expectation." Jenna pouted and smiled. After saying goodnight, they hung up. However, Jenna couldn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned around in the bed. "Jenna, Jenna," a low yet familiar voice rang from her ears. Jenna opened her eyes in shock. A tall and handsome man was standing in front of her with a gentle and charming smile on his face. "Hansen, you're back." Jenna gasped. She got up hurriedly with a heart full of joy. The man's face however was vague and Jenna struggled to see him clearly. She panicked and asked, "Hansen, is that you?" Jenna reached out to touch him. She thought she reached out to his arm, but there was nothing in her grasp. "Hansen," Jenna shouted as she trembled in fea
"Whatever." Hansen shrugged confidently. His eyes suddenly narrowed with a glint of cold light as he asked, "Sergio, did you act under Capital City's orders today? Let me ask you, how did Yaris die? You wouldn't know, would you? Don't forget that the former deputy director of the Public Security Department, Charles, was present at the scene. He can proved that Yaris was murdered, instead of committing suicide to escape punishment. You are doubly guilty for breaking the law as a law-enforcement personnel. I am sure you know better than I do what happened to Yaris!" Sergio's heart skipped a beat but he gave a blank look. His gaze darkened. Hansen approached him with conviction and stared at him. "You're just abusing your powers to interfere with my plan in the election. You won't succeed." Sergio sniggered with a dark glint in his gaze. He looked terrifying. However, Hansen remained convinced. The mocking smile on his face slowly faded away and was replaced with a
Jenna was lying in the lounge. Her eyes were closed and her hands were on her belly. Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes and fell silently on the pillow. She thought to herself, "Hansen, please be safe. You must hold on. Wait for me. I will find a way to save you." The news that Hansen Richards, the president of Richards Group from A City, being taken away was reported in all the major news outlets. With that, rumours started spreading like wildfire and the Richards Group's stock prices crashed. Richards Group fell into a state of chaos. All of the sudden, Richards Group was in a dire situation. Back at Richards Manor, Trevor remained calm and composed. Panic permeated the air as the news of the head of the family being taken away spread. It was an unprecedented crisis for the Richards family. Fear and unease were written plainly on the servants' faces. The weather was sunny but it was gloomy in Richards Manor. Jenna lay down in the lounge, t
"I can tell you now. You are free to resign with immediate effect if you do not have the confidence that the company will get through this. I will not force you to stay and help overcome this crisis," Jenna said clearly, sweeping her eyes over everyone. She then waved the keys in her hand and continued, "This is the key to Mr. Richards' office. He has already authorized me to take charge of the company. Regarding the payroll, you can give it to me to sign now. Anyone who wants to get signatures for resignation letters could also look for me now." The senior executives looked guilty after hearing Jenna's words. None of them wanted to resign. They held their breaths as they were afraid of getting into trouble. The huge conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. "CFO." "Yes, Mrs. Richards." "Did we receive the two hundred million dollars from N&S Group yesterday?" Jenna asked, looking straight at the CFO. The CFO thought for a moment and mad
"So, you don't know him?" Jenna asked calmly. Octavia hesitated for a moment and answered unreservedly, "Yes. I do not know him." "I see." Jenna appeared enlightened. "Looks like we got the wrong person. If that's the case, then forget about it. I thought I'd be able to do something good today." Jenna informed Lomen, "Lomen, unfortunately we have got the wrong person. I supposed this is God's will. I thought I'd come here with the intention of saving a life. It seemed my hope was in vain. Let's go. There's no point in wasting our time here." She stood up as she spoke. "Well, Mrs. Richards. I supposed we should let it go since there are no other ways around it. Leave the matter of life and death to the hands of fate." Lomen knew Jenna was onto something. He agreed with her and took a few long strides towards her direction to escort her out. Octavia's face turned pale immediately. A storm was brewing in her mind. The arrogance she displayed just
"Okay, I'll wait." Jenna promised. "I promise to send your family abroad for medical treatment as long as you reveal the evidence of Zoella framing the Richards Group and expose her. This is the condition, which is mutually beneficial." Jenna walked away without another word. She turned back after a few steps and reminded her. "I would advise you to consider carefully. I will not force you and you are welcome to approach me anytime when you are ready. I think you can differentiate right from wrong." Jenna and Lomen walked away calmly. Octavia sat in the room in a stunned state for a long time. Zoella fed her family chronic poison in an attempt to control her. It was so evil, she thought. She had been nothing but loyal since the beginning and trusted her wholeheartedly. She never thought of betraying her. If it was true that she was poisoning her family. This woman was indeed too vicious and cold-hearted. She was not worthy of her trust then. She clenched h
Jenna turned her face. There was not a trace of emotion in her eyes. She asked curiously, "Mr. Xanthe, what did you say? What ocean?" Sergio analyzed her expression carefully. "Jenna, the Ocean Heart is a rare treasure. Many older people have seen it and wanted to own it. That year, the auction attracted huge attention but it was taken off the auction at the last minute's notice. It simply vanished after that. There was a rumor that Madam Lilian had sent it to Richards Manor. Do you know about it?" Sergio's voice was soft like a dream but he was indeed talking to Jenna about the Ocean Heart . Jenna clenched her fists and she smiled patronisingly. "So, that's how it is. You came to Richards Manor because of rumors of a rare jewel? I have been wondering why you would move into our home when we have no business with you. I now know it is because of the treasure. Mr. Xanthe, you are indeed morally noble, to be abusing your power for your own convenience." Sergio's f
