"Hansen, I'm only a secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I'm not very busy. I'm just worried about you. All you do is work and neglect to seek treatment for your eyes. You don't even cherish yourself!" Jaqueline's expression was melancholic. She said seriously, "Hansen, stop suppressing your grief and learn to heal. Don't be too stubborn. You cannot turn back time. The fact is that Jenna is dead. You must learn to accept reality and start a new life. You can't torture yourself like this forever." Jaqueline's eyes were filled with deep regret. There was also a sense of helplessness in her words and actions. When Hansen heard these words, he choked on his own breath. His face turned even more gloomy and terrifying. He immediately slammed his hand on the office table and bellowed angrily, "That's enough Jaqueline! Don't ever challenge my bottom line again! Please stay away from my life. Let me tell you this, I firmly believe that my beloved Jenna isn't dead. She will
"Mr. Richards, there's something I don't know if I should say." Alvin felt the need to tell Hansen the truth when he saw his disappointed face. "Go on," Hansen said impatiently. "Mr. Richards, what I want to say is that the chances of Mrs. Richards surviving such a high fall is very slim..." Alvin thought for a while before he spoke. He really could not bear to see the disappointed look on Hansen's face. "B*stard, all of you seem to be cursing her. Where is your conscience?" Hansen was furious. He picked up a stack of documents from his table and threw it at Alvin. Alvin stood still. The documents hit him and fell to the ground. He bent down and carefully picked up the documents. "Mr. Richards, you can be mad at me, but you can't ignore my words. You and Mrs. Richards were deeply in love with each other. If she was still alive, she would have come to find you. The Richards Group has branches all over the world. As long as she went to report herself i
"Jerry, I've made your favorite cola chicken wings. Come over and eat." Jaqueline smiled warmly as she said to Jerry. She wasn't offended by Jerry's words. "I don't like to eat your food. I only like to eat the food cooked by my mother." Jerry's face creased as he angrily said, "You're not my mother, so I'm not going to eat your food." Jaqueline's face looked pained. She understood that Jerry was very resistant to her. He was still a kid. She firmly believed that one day, he was going to accept her. She just needed to be patient and sincere to him. Then, he would be moved. "Come, let's have dinner. We've been busy all day. Jerry is leaving for England tomorrow. We're going to have a nice dinner today." Marissa quickly tried to ease the awkward situation with a smile. Hansen did not say much and did not even look at Jaqueline. He carried Jerry over to the dining room and sat down. Trevor did not come over to Capital City. However, Marissa decide
"Hansen, are you being ignorant or do you not understand? Even if you manage Richards Group well and it becomes a powerhouse, so what? All your efforts will still go down the drain in a few years because there is no one to take over the company. What we need now is more descendants. The world will only continue if there are people to carry on living. It's impossible to rely on your strength alone. We must think about the future. All of the rich and powerful families have plenty of successors in the family. Only then will they be able to inherit the family's business. Don't you understand this?" Marissa was choked with sobs and wiped her tears with a tissue. Her son was not interested in other women anymore. In fact, he was avoiding them. He only cared about work. His character was getting stranger everyday. If it went on like this, then what was the point of having so much money when he did not have anyone to inherit it? Every man would need a successor in order to continue
The sea breeze blew through Lilian's hair, and she took the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. One year ago, she had passed out after witnessing Jenna as she fell off a cliff into the fast-flowing river down below. She deserved to be called a big shot as the first thing she did after waking up was rush to the hospital. She made a prompt decision and ordered for someone to prepare the helicopter to fly Sara over to Europe for treatment. During the past year, she came up with all sorts of ways to hide Jenna's death from Sara. Social media was so advanced those days. It was impossible to hide the truth from her if they continued living in the country. Lilian wasn't sure how much longer she was able to hide the truth from Sara, but one thing she knew for sure was that Sara would be devastated when she learnt the truth about Jenna's death. However, her body was in no condition to bear such an emotional pain. This was too
"Alright." Hansen agreed readily. At that moment, Lilian was standing beside him and he could feel her breath hitch while he gave Sara an update on Jenna. Once he was done, she heaved a sigh of relief. He, too, exhaled deeply. In the past year, Lilian had done her best to conceal Jenna's death from Sara. The reason she was able to hide it so well was also because of Hansen. Regardless, Sara's health was their utmost priority. They were going to wait until she had fully recovered before breaking the news to her. This was both Hansen's and Lilian's plan. "Where's Jerry? Has he been naughty? He must not bully his baby sister," Sara asked with a smile. Hansen cleared his throat and replied with a smile, "Jerry has been enrolled in the Royal National Academy in England. He said he is going to study diligently and make all of you proud." Hansen smiled brightly when he talked about Jerry. Hansen did not dare to bring Jerry to visit Sara because
The Yintern Group's dormitory could be described as simple. There wasn't any washing machine or air conditioner in the dorm. The weather was extremely cold. Jenna turned on the faucet on her balcony and washed her clothes. Her hand turned red when it came into contact with the ice-cold water. She lowered her head as she forcefully rubbed her clothes together. "Lexantra, the water is too cold. I think it's better for you to bring your laundry back to the office and use the washing machine there," Joanne, Jenna's colleague, said when she saw Jenna washing her clothes with great effort. "Miss Gambon, you're here. Please have a seat." Jenna looked up at Joanne and greeted her with a smile, "Make yourself at home. I don't have the time to entertain you." Joanne was from Tamberland and was fluent in Srirano's local language. She also knew this country very well as her parents had a business establishment here. They had immigrated to this country many
"Hey, look at you, you're shivering. Even if you enjoy doing laundry, the water is still too cold. Come on, let's get out of the dormitory. It's freaking cold in here. I'll take you out for a cafe au lait. I also have something to discuss with you." Steffan tugged at Jenna's hand, urging her to follow him. Jenna's body was not on good terms with the cold. She could not help but to shiver as soon as she stepped out into the cold. Steffan had to protect her from the cold wind before quickly heading back to her room to fetch her down jacket. Once he helped her put it on, only then did he lead her onto the streets. In the concrete jungle of Colombo's prime business district. Steffan brought Jenna to a decent cafe. He ordered a cup of Brazilian coffee as well as some desserts. He had ordered an entire table's worth of delicious and fragrant food. The two sat opposite each other. The temperature in the cafe was perfect. As Jenna sipped on her cup of
