Chapter 9 Welcome Bash

Author: Flower
Hansen Richards's harsh words made Aria McAdams's face turn pale. This was the first time she was seeing Hansen get mad in front of her in a long time, and it was because of that woman. Her heart was burning with rage.

She was well aware of Hansen's uncompromising personality, so she knew that she couldn't bring up this problem in front of him again. Otherwise, the engagement would be in danger if she pissed him off.

She had put in so much blood and sweat and worked so hard for her marriage. Everything was going great, until this woman unexpectedly appeared like a ghost from the past, and was even invited to work at a Richards Group office. How could she let it slide? She couldn't let this woman ruin her bright future.

She didn't want to, and couldn't afford to miss out on such a perfect opportunity.

She loved Hansen, who could only belong to her.

They were already divorced, and Hansen had agreed to marry her, that was enough. There was no need to push things too hard!

Aria wiped away her tears and did a new makeup look. A radiant smile appeared on her face, but the light in her eyes was cold as ice.

"Jenna Murphy, just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you. I will kick you out of the Richards Group forever." She cursed in her heart.

Inside the fanciest karaoke in A City, the room was dark as colorful lights flashed around this super fun and lively party.

Jenna emotionlessly sat in the corner with a resigned smile on her face.

The Richards Group threw a party for her tonight to celebrate her becoming a member of the company.

She didn't want to come at all, but Perrie incessantly pushed her to go. The assistant was extremely stubborn, so she had to force herself to come. Most importantly, she knew that Hansen would never bother to take part in events like this, so it didn't matter since she won't see him anyway.

The clamorous noise and laughter made Jenna's head buzz with dizziness, and she also felt very nauseous. She stood up and walked out of the room. She looked lithe and graceful in her light green dress.

The karaoke suite was connected to an empty outdoor stage. Lush green trees swayed in the breeze beside the stage, and a crescent moon was hanging high in the sky.

The faint aroma of French red wine wafted through the wind. Jenna walked out of the private room as a breeze mixed with the smell of fine wine blew past the wisps of hair in front of her forehead, cooling her down a little. She relaxed her eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief. She was in a much better mood now.

This high-end club was the most expensive and luxurious spending facility in A City. Every single person who entered this place was a top-class elite of A City, the place was exclusively for the wealthy and superior. The Richards Group, which was the top financial group in A City, threw all kinds of parties here every year, including their annual new year party and all the welcome bashes.

It was an amazing honor for every young talent in A City to be able to work at the Richards Group.

Jenna casually walked through the club. As the darling daughter of the Murphy family, she was used to places like this.

Silvery sounds of laughter streamed into her ears like floating clouds.

Jenna stopped dead in her tracks, and her eyes were shrouded in a dim light.

Aria, who was extravagantly dressed up, was walking gracefully towards her with her sylphlike figure, and her pretty laughter flowed through the air.

There was a charming and confident smile on her face, the smile reached her eyes and sparkled. However, Jenna could feel an ominous chill from the shining light in her glistening dark eyes.

They encountered each other on this narrow path and stood face to face!

Jenna's heart suddenly sank and she avoided eye contact with her.

But the other beautiful figure next to Aria made Jenna's eyes widen even further. Jenna was flabbergasted when she met her arrogant gaze.

The woman standing beside Aria was wearing a sexy slip dress and extremely heavy makeup on her face. She looked obscenely glamorous, and was glaring at Jenna with cold disdainful eyes and a cocky expression.

"Minnie Murphy, why are you here?" Jenna exclaimed.

The hazy lights reflected on Minnie Murphy's stunning yet still adolescent face, making her look strangely ethereal.

"Why can't I be here?" Minnie raised her eyebrows and replied defiantly and insolently, "Did you think that you were the only one who deserved to be at fancy places like this?"

"You..." Jenna was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Minnie to be this shallow, and the reality made her feel incredibly sad. Although her uncle's entire family had betrayed her and stolen her family's wealth, Minnie was still her cousin and a member of the Murphy family after all, she at least deserved to be admonished.

But why was Minnie hanging out with Aria? She had just turned eighteen years old, shouldn't she be in school?

Aria was a careful, arrogant, and vicious woman. Someone as ambitious and blindly focused on climbing the social ladder as Minnie wouldn't understand the danger she is in.

Minnie's eyes were filled with admiration as she stood happily beside Aria and desperately flattered and fawned over her.

Jenna laughed grimly on the inside. She could at least give her some advice.

The Richards Group had booked the whole place for tonight. This was supposed to be the night where all the men and women could freely laugh and play and de-stress and release themselves with no holds barred, they were having the time of their lives!

But as soon as Aria arrived, the entire room fell silent. Everyone watched her movements. No one expected Aria to be here, she usually considered herself to be above employee parties such as this one.

"Hello, Ms. McAdams." Everyone unanimously and respectfully greeted her.

Aria raised her head and smiled slightly. She nodded and looked like a queen.

"Jenna, where are you going? Are you satisfied with tonight's welcome bash?" Aria's face was plastered with smiles as she blocked Jenna's way and asked in a concerned tone, like a boss greeting their subordinate.

Jenna was unfazed and smiled indifferently, but her eyes looked towards Minnie. She reached out and grabbed Minnie's hand. "Minnie, come with me. You shouldn't be here, go home now."

She put in so much strength that she gripped onto Minnie and was about to drag her outside.

Minnie forcefully shook off Jenna's hand and pushed her hard, then furiously spat at her, "F*ck you Jenna Murphy, who do you think you are? How dare you shoo me away? I'm with Ms. McAdams, and what are you? You're just Hansen's ex-wife that he threw away, and you're somehow still shamelessly staying in the Richards Group. You're a hag who was abandoned by a man, who gave you the right to poke your nose in my business?"

Minnie's face was filled with disgust as she shouted loudly and announced to the world, "Did you think that Hansen would fall in love with you if you planted your feet in the Richards Group? Dream on."

She scowled at her with her smug eyes, and her face was full of conceit and contempt.

Jenna was pushed away and fell heavily onto the ground. She accidentally bumped into someone who was holding a wine glass behind her, and the glass was also shattered into pieces on the ground with a loud crash.

All the onlookers were stunned! Soon after, all the people present whispered,

"So she is Mr. Richards's ex-wife that people were talking about."

"Tsk tsk. I heard that Mr. Richards hated his wife and never went home."

"So she was the unloved wife. I heard that she never appeared together with Mr. Richards."

"But she isn't as ugly as people said she was! She's really pretty and elegant. Why didn't Mr. Richards like her?"

"Ah, what a poor woman. Still thrown away by Mr. Richards in the end."

......

She was surrounded by all kinds of awful comments. All of them turned their eyes towards Jenna on the ground, and their eyes contained surprise, wariness, contempt, sympathy...

No one took the initiative to help her.

They wouldn't dare to attend to the woman who was hated by Mr. Richards himself!

    Jenna Murphy fell to the ground, and the contempt in people's eyes made chills run through her body. She felt a piercing pain in her palm, and a warm liquid began flowing out. She knew that it was a broken piece of the wine glass that pricked into the flesh in her palm. She was so numb that she barely felt the pain! Her face was as pale as snow, and the forced smile on her face gradually stiffened. Fortunately, the flashing neon lights weren't very bright in this moonlit night, so the unbearable pain on her face was somewhat concealed. She was the one who asked for it. She deserved to be humiliated! It was her fault for being nosy. Minnie Murphy was right, who gave someone as pathetic as her the right to mind another content person's business? Tears welled up in Jenna's eyes as she clenched her teeth. She stood up under the curious gaze of all the onlooking Richards Group employees and acted as if nothing had happened. Hansen Richards had suddenly ap

    "Jen." The air magically carried a deep and pleasant voice into Jenna Murphy's ears. Like ripples on the peaceful surface of a lake, or a bright star shining in the dark night sky, it brought a brand new sense of hope to everything. Jenna's body froze for a second before she raised her head. Who else would call her by that nickname? Could it be that he was here? A tall and handsome man in a suit and leather shoes was walking towards her. His face was filled with a gentlemanly and charming smile, and the pools in his soft eyes were unbelievably soothing. He looked gentle and graceful, and he exuded a regal and mysterious air from head to toe. Unlike most typical men in positions of power, he was quietly and effortlessly refined and elegant in a serene manner. There was no question as to his social status, for his noble visage couldn't have possibly been cultivated overnight. He became the center of everyone's attention in the blink of an eye. "Jen, it

    Hansen's hulking figure blocked the entrance like a brick wall. His face was livid as he arrogantly and aggressively faced them. He stood tall and straight with a stiff yet still handsome face, and there was rage between his eyebrows. The air in this room froze once again. The cold light in his eyes violently contracted, shooting out streaks of fierce glares that landed on Rayan Whalen's hand around Jenna and threatened to tear it into pieces. Rayan returned an icy smile as his soft eyes gradually sharpened and took on a hint of slyness. Two powerful and clearly hostile men were going head to head. Something dangerous could break out any moment in this atmosphere. A shiver ran down Jenna's spine. Hansen and Rayan were already sworn enemies when it came to business, it was a terrible idea for them to confront each other like this right now, especially since she seemed to be the cause. She didn't want to become a laughing stock for what happened today,

    But how could a feeble woman like her fight against Hansen's passion and powerful body? All Hansen wanted to do right now was to have her and possess her. She played her trump card in a panic, "Aren't you in love with Aria McAdams, Hansen Richards? Aren't you going to marry her? How can you do this to her?" Hansen froze and stopped ravaging her body. His senses gradually returned, and he raised his eyes which were scarlet red with desire. That was when a slow and haunting ringtone rang through the car. Hansen slowly let go of Jenna and stood up. He took out his mobile phone from his pant pocket. He frowned when he saw that Aria's name was displayed on the widescreen. "Where are you, Hans?" Hansen answered the phone. There was a trace of pain in Aria's sweet and sugary voice. "What's wrong? Aria." "Hans, my stomach hurts. It hurts so much." Aria painfully exclaimed on the other side of the phone, "I want to see you, Hansen. Don't leave me behind

    Minnie heard what he said and stood still for a while. Then she couldn't help but sneer. Why should she care about that b*tch's injured hand? Minnie couldn't believe that Jenna Murphy had managed to seduce someone as handsome and powerful as Rayan Whalen. She was seething with jealousy and hatred when she saw Rayan doting on her. What a natural wh*re and seductress, she wished that Jenna had died from the pain. Hmph! Did Jenna really think that nobody knew that she forced her way into the Richards Group and pestered Hansen just so she could take back her father's property through Hansen's hands? F*ck her. She was bound to fail. As long as Aria McAdams was still alive, Hansen would never fall in love with or help Jenna Murphy! Minnie saw through Aria's scheme from the very beginning. Of course she wasn't in that much pain, she was just acting to get Hansen's attention. But Hansen rushed over as soon as he received her call. Which meant... That Aria was the one th

    Hansen scanned the still extravagantly decorated wedding room with his dark and strangely lightless eyes. He was married to Jenna for four years, but she only lived in the Richards Manor for one. She fled to America for the remainder of the marriage. She stayed in this room for the entire year she spent in the manor, but he never stepped into it again after their wedding night. His mind flashed back to the night they got married. He entered the room in his drunken stupor and ravaged her body without restraint out of vengefulness and hatred. The memory from that night had been subconsciously burned into the back of his head this whole time. That amorous night had taken root in his subconscious mind. If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have asked Jenna to spend another night with him when she reappeared before him after three whole years. He felt as if someone was seductively caressing the desire in his heart, causing a rush of blood through his body. He c

    The night breeze was chilling! Hansen drove his car to a dark area of the river in the city. He rolled down the bulletproof window of his car and lit his cigar. The night wind blew in from outside the window, sweeping through his thick black hair, and carrying with it the wisp of smoke as it went out of the window on the right. He looked at where the smoke disappeared. His eyes were gloomy, as dark as an endless well. He deeply inhaled the smoke and then exhaled it. The fumes then disappeared into the dark night. The dim light fell on his handsome face, seemingly surreal. When he raised his head slightly, a pure and beautiful girl in a white tulle dress appeared in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but smile. It was when they were in their second year at C University. One day, during sunset, the rays illuminated the lovely campus, enveloping it in warmth. Feeling bored, he slowly walked back and forth to the library to kill time. As soon as h

    Two rough hands touched her delicate face. "Babe, are you feeling horny? We will satisfy your lust later!" the two evil voices laughed unscrupulously. Jenna pushed the hand away in a daze and shouted, "Go away!" Then, she turned over and fell asleep again. The amber streetlamp illuminated her lovely face. Her petite blushing face looked so alluring. "D*mn, this girl is hot! Why don't we go somewhere to ride her all night?" One of the men was aroused and whispered his lewd thoughts, while the other one nodded in agreement. The man bent over and carried Jenna up, and his buddy looked around and whispered, "Hurry up. Let's go before anyone sees us." As she was hoisted up to the man's shoulder, Jenna felt unwell and her stomach churned. She started throwing up, spitting away a few mouthfuls before she woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw that she was being carried away by two lecherous men! She knew she was in trouble, and immediately sobered u

    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
