D*mned woman! She secretly read his diary! She was despicable! Hansen was furious because Jenna must have read what he wrote in his diary and found out that the man standing in the dark that night was him. In an instant, he felt that his secret was uncovered. All his deep, dark secrets were exposed to her, leaving him in a wretched state of disgrace and embarrassment. This woman really didn't not have any basic manners. Didn't she know that she should not intrude on other people's privacy? He cannot keep her around anymore! Hansen stood up angrily and said coldly, "You should leave now. Go as far away as you can, and never let me see you again, you vile woman." As soon as he finished his words, he slammed the door and rushed out angrily. Suddenly, the room went dead silent and Jenna's mind was blank. Why did this happen? Why did God treat her like this? She felt heartbroken and despaired. Her heart could not no longer be at peace anymore. She was a d
Hansen sat on the couch in the office, feeling depressed and annoyed. It was already late at night and he did not know where to go. His heart felt empty and he was exhausted and weary. He opened the door to the bedroom in his office and went to take a cold shower. After finishing his takeaway meal, he sat on the couch and started smoking a cigar. After a while, his phone rang. He reached for his phone and answered it as he placed the phone near to his ear. "Hello," the person on the other end of the line greeted. "Mr. Richards," Alvin's low and deep voice drifted into his ears, "I've found some important information." Hansen's eyes turned cold. After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered, "Come here immediately. I'm in the office." "Okay," Alvin answered and hung up. Hansen looked a little anxious. His eyes darkened and he was inexplicably nervous. Before he even finished smoking his cigar, Alvin had already arrived. "M
"I'm looking for Javon's home," Hansen said to the guard, as the car pulled up at the community gate. He didn't hesitate this time. Even if Sara was furious with him, he was still going to pay her a visit. The guard was a lean old man, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He looked at him with a gleam in his eyes as his eyes slowly widened. If he was not mistaken, the man was Mr. Richards, one of the most renowned men in A city. "Mr. Richards, nice to meet you!" He smiled at Hansen and greeted him politely. Hansen took out his wallet and handed him a few hundred dollar bills. He leaned his hand against the window and asked lightly, "What's Javon's house number?" He had only been to the neighborhood once since he married Jenna. He had even forgotten the house number! The old man happily put away the money and thanked him. When he heard Hansen's question, his face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and said awkwardly, "Mr. Richards, Minister Murphy's family moved
"I didn't expect that Mr. Richards would care so much about his subordinates. I am really touched," Minnie gently said as she was trying to guess what Hansen was thinking. A warm smile appeared on Hansen's face again, and he hooked his finger at her. Minnie's whole body went limp and she almost fell into his lap. Hansen quickly reached out to hold her with one hand and whispered, "Secretary Murphy, steady yourself. It will be bad if you get hurt. This is an office and it's not a good reputation to seduce your boss." Minnie's face changed, and she immediately understood what he meant. Immediately, she blushed as she steadied herself. Hansen smirked and slowly stood up. His fingers suddenly slid over her delicate face as he gently lifted her chin. He smiled charmingly and said, "Of course, if I want to, then that's another story." Minnie immediately widened her bright eyes and looked at him as she blushed shyly. "Tell me, where do you live now?" His vo
"Jenna, what's going on?" Rayan was distraught at the sight of Jenna crying. He had never seen Jenna crying so desperately before. In the past, even if he saw her crying, it was just a silent cry. She would never cry uncontrollably like this. He did not know what Hansen did to push her to this point. Driving out from the basement parking lot, he helped Jenna into his car and drove her back to his villa. It was no longer appropriate for her to go home in that state. He did not want Sara to worry. He had no choice but to take her back to his home and find out what was going on. In the past few days, after numerous attempts to comfort her, Jenna finally smiled brightly again. However, she looked dull and lost again as she had been a few days ago. For the first time, Rayan felt really helpless. Never before had he felt so helpless. He had great power, yet was unable to protect the woman he loved. He couldn't do anything to stop Hansen from bullying or torturin
Hansen leaned back and spread his hands on the couch. Hansen lit up another cigar and took a puff. Then, he looked at her before taking another puff and looking at her again. He was indifferent to the grief and indignation on her face. Jenna endured the bitterness and said in a pleading tone, "Hansen, do you really have to do this? Didn't you say that we should try and get along with each other? So, let's talk it out, what would it take for you to leave me alone?" Tears started rolling down her cheeks. She was suffering inside. She wondered why God was so cruel to her. "Are you begging me now?" This was the first time Hansen had ever heard Jenna's words of supplication with such a humble tone. He was slightly moved as he looked up at her. Sure enough, her face was devoid of indifference, and instead, filled with grief, despair and sorrow. She just stood there, like a stalk of grass in the autumn breeze, delicate and pitiful, as if it would wither awa
"D*mn you, b*stard!" Jenna cursed. He knew about her mother's kidney disease. Of course, there's nothing he wouldn't know if he wanted to. Furthermore, the Richards Group was one of the shareholders of the best hospitals in the country. If they annoyed Hansen, never mind treating patients, the Director would also lose his job. When Trevor was being treated in the hospital, it was rumored that Hansen was not satisfied with their treatment plan and immediately fired the Director of the hospital. Hansen hated her to the core. She really could not afford to offend him for the sake of her mother. There was no other way. Jenna was at Hansen's mercy! What could Jenna do about it? As soon as Hansen drove into the Richards Manor, he saw the butler standing at the pathway entrance to Green Jade Garden, anxiously looking around. When he saw his car, his eyes lit up and he greeted him with a smile. "Young Master, you're finally back!" The butler was beaming with joy.
"Ah, Georgia, this is not what Hansen or I want. You should know that Hansen's grandmother is still alive and she is the only one who has the final say in family matters, especially in the Richards Manor. After all, the Richards Manor is left to her by the Old Master. We're helpless too!" Marissa explained desperately. Georgia's face was getting darker, and Earl's gaze was sharp. He was used to seeing such a big commotion. Nevertheless, he always kept his composure. "Hansen, I want to listen to your opinion on this matter. I want to hear what you have to say," he spoke softly, but he was staring at Hansen. If Hansen was not calm and courageous enough, he would not be able to speak his mind. However, Hansen said calmly, "Uncle, you know that this is my second marriage, and I am also a descendant of the Richards family. I can only listen to my elders in some matters. I have already made it clear to Aria that day and asked her to think thoroughly. In the beginning, I did
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
