Meanwhile, in the five-star hotel. With an evasive smile, Hansen walked to the couch and sat down. "Jaqueline, did Grandpa Johan call you here, or did you come by yourself?" After he sat down, Hansen asked her straightforwardly. Jaqueline's face was a little bitter. She was a famous young lady in Capital City, and many people wanted to have dinner with her. Yet, Hansen didn't seem to appreciate it. Of course, she didn't care. That year, at the ball held by Johan, all the celebrities in Capital City gathered. Johan took her to meet a lot of political leaders. Jaqueline was adored, and everyone's attention was on her. Everyone was complimenting her. Johan laughed heartily as Jaqueline followed behind him. Her smile was bright and charming. Jaqueline stood on the stage and looked down. She immediately noticed Hansen standing leisurely with a smile on his face among all the young handsome men. Like the other men who would turn to look at her with admirat
When Liya was about to leave with the pickled vegetables in her hand, Letty stopped her in time. She lowered her voice and whispered mysteriously, "Mrs. Richards, today is a good opportunity. Today, Marissa is staying in Old Madam's room. Meroy has asked for leave to take a night off because she is sick. So, there is no one else in Old Madam's room. Since Old Madam is dying, everyone has let down their guard. So, now is a great opportunity. Don't miss it." Letty's words were clear and logical, which warmed up Liya's refreshed mind. Her dull eyes were full of vitality. The Ocean Heart? If she could get her hands on this valuable treasure, then she could do anything to her heart's content. Moreover, she could also get rid of Oscar and Zoella. She didn't have to be bothered about Oscar anymore, and she could be free. With these thoughts in mind, Liya nodded and said, "Letty, thank you for your reminder." "There's no need to thank me, Mrs. Richards." Letty smiled as
Marissa was asleep in the lounge, but she was still alert. As soon as she heard the sound of Vivian's gulps and rapid breathing, she woke up, hurriedly got up to get dressed, and ran to Vivian's bedroom. Vivian had been in critical condition for such a long time. Everyone knew what she was most worried about at this time. Marissa dared not to be sloppy. The lighting of Vivian's bedroom was good. It was a little higher than the lounge. Hence, there was a small flight of stairs between Vivian's bedroom and the lounge. Marissa hurried up the stairs. Just as she opened the curtain, a blow struck her. "Ah!" Marissa screamed, and her whole body was pushed to the back by a hand. She was caught off guard, and it was deep into the night. As she was not young anymore, Marissa fell down the stairs with such a push. She only felt great pain from her leg. Then, the back of her head hit the ground, and she immediately fainted. Liya was rummaging through the room for tre
"Jenna, what are you doing? Do you miss me?" After the phone was connected, a crisp female voice rang. Jenna was stunned for a while before she exclaimed, "Hannah, is that you?" It had been a long time since she last saw Hannah. Jenna almost forgot her old best friend. She only knew that she had gone to Europe with Rayan and her Gently Cafeteria had closed down. "Oh, my..." "God, have you forgotten me?" Hannah protested impatiently on the other side of the line. Her voice was light and clear, with a European accent. It had been a few months since they last met, but her tone was obviously different. It was not only sweet and feminine but also more European. Jenna laughed out loud. "Hey, you heartless friend. You just followed a man and eloped without telling me. You're such a disloyal friend. Yet, you're saying that I'm the one who has forgotten about you. Do you still have any kindness in your heart? I now strongly condemn you for your immoral behavi
Flowers were blooming in the Ink Garden's back lawn. All sorts of precious and rare species were blossoming beautifully. Sabrina was sitting on the stone bench with her easel in front of her. She was deep in thought, with a concentrated expression. On such a morning, time was still, and the beauty of nature opened up her creative mind. In the past few days, Sabrina had to come here every morning to finish her summer homework. After this semester, she will graduate. Although her knees were injured, doctors from the health center would apply medicine for her on time everyday. Sabrina had very much recovered. Although she was still limping when she walked, it didn't bother her much. Sabrina wanted to finish designing her 'dreamy' fashion collection before the summer holiday ended. If she wanted to become the world's top famous designer, then she had to create her own brand, which showcased the current trend. Therefore, Sabrina was focused on fashion design fo
"Sabrina." Sabrina had just walked to the corridor of the Ink Garden when she met Norton. It was apparent that Norton was anxious to find her. He cried out in concern the moment he saw her. Sabrina lowered her head and walked as fast as she could. She didn't even raise her head when she heard Norton. Her steps were even more rapid, as if she was in a hurry, and she couldn't wait to get away from Norton. Sabrina's face was cold. She quickly walked past him, as if she hadn't seen him. Feeling a burst of sadness, Norton just followed her and called out loudly, "Sabrina, don't walk so fast. I've got something for you." Sabrina didn't want to talk to him at all. She answered with an unfriendly tone, "Norton, I'm busy now. If you don't have something important to tell me, then you'd better not say anything." Mid-conversation, they arrived at the guestroom. She took out her room card and opened the door. Just as she was about to close it, Norton took the opportun
"Mr. Matteo, I heard that the current president of the Richards Group, Hansen, has been taken away by the authorities because of leaking confidential information via their luxury cars. Now, the Richards Group is managed by his wife, Jenna. Originally, we could have survived the project of A City, but the woman is really not an ordinary person. Her husband was taken away. Yet, in a short period of time, she calmly commanded the Richards Group. Her performance is watertight. Not only were they unaffected, but their business is also growing." Darragh sighed. Matteo thought for a moment and nodded. "It's not surprising. She's the granddaughter-in-law of the Richards family whom Vivian took a fancy to. Of course, she wouldn't be like an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have approved of Hansen's marriage. Back then, many people wanted to be affiliated with the Richards family. However, Vivian rejected them. Even Johan's beloved great-granddaughter, Jaqueline, was rejected by Viv
Seeing that his ploy had been exposed, Christopher could only let out a dry laugh. "I didn't expect you to be so smart that you even knew this. I now feel that you shouldn't be a businessman. Instead, you should come to the Criminal Investigation Team or Special Affairs Team. It's more suitable for you." Hansen gave a strange laugh. "You little brat, you've been doing all these useless things for me all day. You're a glib talker. Let me ask you, shouldn't matters relating to arms trafficking be within the jurisdiction of the head of the Public Security Department? Otherwise, what are your duties?" Christopher knew that he couldn't win. So, he had to prove his worth. "Hansen, do you have a conscience? Think about it. Even if Johan did something behind your back, they wouldn't dare to let you go if I, the head of the Public Security Department, weren't there to interrogate you, would they? Moreover, I arranged such a good accommodation environment for you. The ladies there ar
