The pure cotton pyjamas with cute little animal prints on them that Jenna was wearing made her look cute and cuddly. Her long hair was still dripping with water as she had just come out of the shower. Her skin was fair and slightly flushed. It was also very smooth. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Larry was tidying the room for her. She was capable and focused. It seemed like she did not notice Jenna standing right behind her. Jenna leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms over her chest, and quietly observed Larry as she made the bed. Larry bent over to observe the sheets first, and then touched them with her hands. After a long while, she reached out and skillfully pulled off the sheets. She took the new red sheets that were piled up next to her and gently spread them out. The red sheets went up into the air like a fiery cloud as it slowly landed right in the middle of the mattress. Larry gently shook them and the sheets fell perfectly in
Jenna smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Ella, there is something that I need to clarify today. Please cooperate with me." Aunt Ella understood and smiled. She said seriously, "Yes, Young Madam. As long as you ask, I will tell you everything." "Okay." Jenna nodded and sat down slowly. She smoothed the sheets on the bed over and over again with her soft hands, and then slowly revealed the red sheets inside. A red rose bloomed in the middle of the sheets, like a bloody demon. She didn't speak, but just stroked the red sheets with her hand. Suddenly, she felt a pang in her chest, as if she had been stabbed in the heart. The scene from her wedding night was vivid in her mind. Until today, her heart was scarred. That night was too painful and she fainted because of the pain. She couldn't erase this feeling until now. Up until today, she still tried to refuse Hansen's advances. If she couldn't figure out the reason, there was no way she could continue on with her life. Sh
She slowly walked downstairs and wandered around Richards Manor. The center of the manor was connected to the periphery of the garden. There was an island in the center of the garden. Although it was not big, it was natural. The trees on the island, the green grass, and small flowers connected with the blue sky, creating a beautiful scene. She could hear crisp laughter coming from the gym in front of her. Even from a distance, she could recognize Aria's laughter. Obviously, she was accompanying Hansen in the gym. There was a rock garden in the middle of the island and there was a secluded sitting area in the midst of it. She didn't want to stay in the bedroom. Aria and Hansen were staying together in the same room and their bedroom was just next to hers. Whenever she stayed in the room, she could hear Aria's fake laugh. She knew that Aria did it on purpose and it infuriated her. She needed to calm down. She hid herself at the sitting area and opened her laptop.
"Here you go, Young Madam." Aunt Ella's expression was solemn and she looked bitter. Jenna's self-esteem, personality, and dignity were about to be exposed to everyone. Her heart ached so much that she had to explain this matter in front of everyone. It was as if she was finally going to strip herself of the pain. However, even if she didn't want to, there would be some people who forced her to take this step, "Larry, tell everyone how Aria incited you to replace my bedsheets on my wedding night. Let everyone know who the real b*itch is. A woman can be this shameless. Not only does she not know how to repent, but she actually wants to give me hell. I will not tolerate this anymore!" Jenna's face was pale as she said with determination. Although there were tears in her eyes, she was still smiling. Larry lowered her head. She stood at one side and her entire body was trembling. "Come on, tell everyone. Help Young Madam restore justice," Aunt Ella urged.
In the luxurious and majestic nightclub, the ancient Roman and modern styles complemented each other. The black paint on the wall made the nightclub look dark and unpredictable. Jenna sat at the bar. Her face was red and her eyes were empty, displaying all her vulnerabilities. When the bartender handed her a cocktail called "Rainbow Light", she did not hesitate and she drank it in one gulp. After three glasses in a row, she had no idea where she was. All she could think of was the sheets and the hatred in Hansen's eyes. The bitterness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. It was useless. Even if she was innocent, he would not care about her. He had never trusted her. Even after she revealed the truth, he walked away. He even went to console Aria instead of her. Who was she to him? Jenna suddenly felt the effects of alcohol. She felt a burning sensation in her stomach. She staggered to stand up, and her vision was blurry. She could not differentia
"Yes, yes." The security manager understood and hurriedly held up the walkie-talkie in his hand. When he saw the men in a pool of their own blood, he immediately knew that he could not provoke Hansen. He hurriedly called all the guards to come over and control the crowd while he went to find the manager himself. A sweaty Mr. Freed rushed over and saw Hansen's face as well as the woman in his arms. His legs nearly gave way and his whole heart sank. It was known that Mr. Richards was one of the shareholders of this nightclub. All it took was one word from him and this place would immediately close down. He could also pull all of the money he had invested in this place and this place would go bankrupt. "Mr. Richards, you're here. I'm sorry I'm late." He put on a smile in an attempt to calm the situation. When he saw that the men were still cursing even though they were held down by the security guards, his eyes flickered with irritation and he cursed angrily,
"Go and write a review until I am satisfied. Otherwise, I am going to make you suffer today. I will show you how powerful I am," he spoke again in a cold voice. His words were filled with determination and his tone was so cold and hard that she couldn't oppose his instructions. Just now, his eyes were filled with tenderness, but at that moment, it was as hard as steel. He was always ruthless and cruel toward her. She was completely discouraged. With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and had to say yes. Then she walked towards the bedroom. She was very pitiful. Hansen saw the look on her face when she was trying to hold back her tears, which made his heart ache. He sympathized with her. Her expression was lonely and bleak, sad, and helpless. In an instant, he had the urge to run forward and hold her in his arms to comfort her. However, the image of Brock, who had been staring at her the whole night, flashed through his eyes, and he resisted the urge.
"Jenna, you're here," she parted her chapped lips and spoke with a hoarse voice. There were also dark circles around her eyes. However, soon, her eyes were fixed on one person, and didn't move away for a long time. "Mom." Hansen greeted her eyes with a slightly apologetic smile, then spoke warmly. Mom? Did he just address her as his mom? Jenna was surprised; his voice was so natural and warm, it even made her suspect that it was not from him. Anyway, she was already grateful to Hansen for agreeing to keep their marriage a secret from her mother, but she had never expected him to call Sara 'mom.' Now he greeted Sara so naturally and Jenna felt his sincerity. At least he honored his promise and tried to fulfill it. However, Sara just stared at him. She did not respond nor look away for quite some time. She did not look surprised at all, there wasn't hope at all in her eyes; they were lifeless even with a hint of death. Her gaze made Hansen feel g
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
