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
"Liya, are you really concerned about Hansen?" Jenna approached her and asked seriously. "Of course." Liya waved her hand and answered in a stern voice, "Hansen is my husband. How can I not care about him?" "I see." Jenna suddenly smiled and added, "Liya, let me ask you. If Hansen is imprisoned and the Richards Group is taken over, Hansen is likely to be worth nothing. Do you still want to marry him?" As Jenna spoke, she squinted her eyes and sized Liya up. Liya looked around and smiled. "Jenna, I love Hansen. No matter what happens to him, I'll be willing to marry him." "Liar." Sabrina looked at the fake smile on her face and sneered. "If something really happens, then I'm afraid you'll be the first to run away." Jenna smiled. "Liya, what you said is really beautiful. You have to remember it well. Don't be afraid of pain and danger at that time." Jenna's words sounded like a warning, and Liya was nervous. She didn't have the mood to stay any l
"Octavia, you don't have to worry too much. I understand your thoughts. I've thought about it these days. Everything is not important. My current goal is the Ocean Heart. As long as I get this treasure, I will immediately send your mother and brother to Sovento, and then I will give you a large sum of money to let your family live happily. How about that?" Zoella also noticed the despair in Octavia's eyes, thought about it, and comforted her in this way. The Ocean Heart? Octavia started to feel depressed. The Ocean Heart was just a rumored treasure. Since the auction many years ago, no one had seen it again. Moreover, no one could tell whether such treasure existed in the Richards Group. Wasn't this request impossible? Zoella was really terrible! She was too greedy! If Zoella was willing to let go of her mother and brother, then Octavia would oblige her wholeheartedly. However, how could she delay curing their illnesses? She couldn't count on such a vicious and unusual woma
"Miss Moore, thank you for gracing Richards Manor with your presence. It is my honor to welcome you here. Well, let's go and visit Grandma first. This way, please." Jenna smiled and made a gesture. Soon, Jenna accompanied Jaqueline towards the Ink Garden as they talked and laughed along the way. After taking Jaqueline to visit Vivian, Jenna took her to the reception room. "It's nice to meet you, Aunt Marissa!" Jaqueline called out warmly as soon as she stepped into the reception room. "Jaqueline, you're here." Marissa immediately stood up and smiled when she saw Jaqueline. Then, she took her hand and seated her next to her. Marissa exclaimed with admiration, "Our Jaqueline is really getting more and more beautiful. I wonder which lucky man will take your hand in marriage." Marissa did not hesitate to praise Jaqueline. On the one hand, she sincerely liked her. On the other hand, Jaqueline was representing Johan. At this time, Marissa hid all her worries abo
