“Don’t worry about that. When the time comes, the HR department will pay you your salary. Not a single penny less,” Hansen answered her as he finally understood what she was saying. It turned out that she no longer had any money and was asking him for her salary.
“But, Hansen, I need money now. Look at me. I’m going to return to Richards Manor and will be buying gifts for Grandma and Jerry, but it’s really a shame that I’m broke. Hansen, please be nice. Will you please give me some now?” Sabrina said bitterly as she blinked at him and swayed his arm.
Wasn’t it just money?
Hansen had never taken money seriously.
At that moment, he couldn’t stand her begging. So, he immediately took out his wallet.
“How much do you want?”
“Well.” Sabrina thought for a while in a serious manner and grinned. “I can’t be too stingy. It’s too shabby. Besides, those foods and toys are too cheap. What if Jerry eats too much and has a bad stomach? Well, it seems that you didn’t bring a lot of cash with you. You’d better lend me a card first. I’ll give it back to you when I receive my salary.”
As she said this, she snuck a look and saw that there were only a few thousand dollars of cash in his wallet, but the gold card was shining.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was not paying attention, she reached out her hand and pulled his gold card out.
“Thank you, Hansen. You’re really generous.” Sabrina waved the gold card in her hand and said with a smile. Grinning, she turned around and walked forward.
Hansen stared at her, dumbfounded.
It was not that he couldn’t bear to see her spend money, but since he married Jenna, all his money had been handed over to her, and he only had this gold card. Now that even this gold card had been ‘borrowed’ by Sabrina, how can he buy stuff for Liya?
With the reputation of the Richards Group, he could draw more than the gold card’s spending limit, and it could be used anywhere in the world. He could also transfer the Richards Group’s funds at will. Jenna didn’t even know this.
He wanted to chase after her, but such behavior was too indecent as it also showed that he was stingy. When had he, Hansen, been so stingy with money? He could only watch Sabrina take his card.
“Hansen, let’s see how you’re gonna pick up women if you’ve run out of money.” Sabrina kept Hansen’s gold card delightedly, pulled the car door open, and sat down.
As soon as she started the car, she saw Norton running towards her. Her expression changed drastically. She stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car drove towards the direction of the other exit.
She didn’t want to talk to Norton and didn’t know how she was going to face him.
She hadn’t thought about it yet.
Driving the car along the street, Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief.
Hansen had been taught a lesson by Norton, and she had also tricked him and had gotten his money that was used to pick up women.
This time, she wanted to see how long Liya could stay with Hansen. She did not believe that she would still be loyal to the penniless Hansen and follow him as a mistress.
These days, Sabrina was so angry that she felt depressed.
Hansen was getting more and more outrageous. He and Liya were flirting with each other in the company everyday without trying to conceal it. As for Liya, she almost appeared in the company as the hostess, which provoked many employees into anger but they didn’t dare to speak.
There was another thing that made her even more furious. In the past few days, there were rumors spreading everywhere in the company, stating that Hansen was going to take Liya as his second wife.
He wanted to take her as his second wife publicly and bring her back to Richards Manor.
It was true. As soon as she turned on the computer early in the morning, the news popped up. When she read it carefully, she almost fainted with anger.
Hansen, this bast*rd, actually wanted to take Liya as his second wife. What was this? It was obvious that he was bullying Jenna. However, Jenna probably didn’t know about this. She was even more afraid that Jenna would try to do something silly for love after knowing about it.
One must know that Jenna was so stubborn that she would do anything.
With this thought in mind, she stepped even harder on the accelerator and felt as if she would fly back to Richards Manor at once if she could.
In her heart, she felt that it was not worth it for Jenna.
However, what slightly relieved her was that after the wave of setbacks, the various industries of the Richards Group had finally stabilised themselves.
That day was the first day that all the executives of the Richards Group didn’t have to work overtime and got off work on time.
As soon as the car entered Richards Manor, they saw a tall figure standing next to an electric vehicle from a distance.
Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat.
It was Norton.
How could he get home so soon?
She thought for a while and felt a little worried. Was Norton really waiting for her?
While she thought about this, she lingered around the underground parking lot for a long time before slowly walking up.
She didn’t want to see Norton at all, the man who had once deceived her.
It was very awkward to meet him, and she didn’t know how she should face him.
As the sun began to set, its afterglow shone on the old, green, twin trees on either side of the main road leading up to Richards Manor, adding a layer of skyglow on the beautiful scenery.
When Sabrina slowly walked out of the parking lot, she felt uneasy.
Well, it seemed like Norton was not here anymore.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
It turned out that he was not waiting for her. Well, in this way, she could avoid the awkwardness for both of them.
She got on the electric vehicle and drove into Green Jade Garden.
Jenna was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Green Jade Garden, holding a newspaper in her hand. Her fingers were tightly grasping the corner of the newspaper, and her gaze was as dull as dust.
When Sabrina entered, she noticed Jenna’s expression and was so distressed that she couldn’t say a word.
She didn’t need to think to figure out what Jenna was reading.
After all, the marriage announcement between Hansen and Liya was too sensational, as Hansen had openly declared to news outlets that he would take Liya as his second wife. It was obvious that he had not discussed this with Jenna. She could tell just by looking at Jenna’s expression.
What era was this now? He still wanted to take a second wife!
Plus, he didn’t want to let his wife know that. It was a fait accompli! She didn’t even have the chance to oppose it. It was too much!
Hmph, he fired her and hid her at home. However, with the news spreading all over the media, could he hide it from her?
“Jenna, think positive.” Sabrina choked on her sobs. Sabrina’s eyes were wet as Jenna’s sadness made her heart ache. She was afraid that she wouldn’t accept this and kill herself. This would benefit that vixen Liya even more. Sabrina walked up to Jenna and sat by her side, stretching out her arms to hug Jenna’s shoulders.
Jenna’s shoulders were slightly trembling.
Hansen wanted to take Liya as his second wife publicly, just like what Frederic did. It was even in the news.
He hadn’t even told Jenna about it.
However, in the face of her repeated inquiries these days, Hansen would not directly answer Jenna, and he would try to make out with her to avoid the question.
What exactly was this?
“Jenna, I have some good news for you.” Sabrina pulled out her wallet and took out the gold card she had grabbed from Hansen. She handed it to Jenna and said excitedly, “Jenna, take a look. I’ve tricked Hansen into giving me the card. Now that Hansen has run out of money and Liya can’t get any benefits, she’ll definitely leave him.”
Sabrina said excitedly as she placed the gold card in Jenna’s hands.
Jenna touched the gold card with a bitter smile on her face.
“Sabrina, it seems that you’re still too naive.” She took her hand. “Liya won’t contend with small amounts of money from Hansen. What she wants is to get a part of the inheritance and the properties of Richards Group. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be willing to be his concubine.”
“I see.” Sabrina touched her head, feeling slightly helpless. “This woman is too shameless and has big ambitions.”
“Also, Sabrina.” Jenna lifted her face and said with a smile, “If Liya really loves Hansen, a card can’t stop them. How about this? Give this card back to him tomorrow. He’s a man, and it won’t work if he doesn’t have money with him.”
“Jenna, do you really want them to be together and allow Hansen to bring Liya into Richards Manor? You’re too forgiving. Or have you already given up in the face of reality and been forced to accept them?”
It seemed that it was right for Hansen to fire Jenna and hide her at home. Judging from Jenna’s current situation, it was obvious that he had already brainwashed her into being in this state.
When a woman knew that her husband was going to take a second wife, shouldn’t she be distraught?
Now, although she was sad, she did not appear to be too miserable. She was very calm and even gave her husband money to let him hook up with other women.
It didn’t make sense.
Sabrina was astonished, and she had no choice but to admire Hansen’s brilliant methods.
Hansen managed to keep his wife at home while he made out with other women outside. He was really enjoying life!
“Sabrina, since you’re here, you should visit Grandma.” Jenna did not explain anything. She just smiled bitterly and pulled Sabrina up.
Her calmness made Sabrina a little scared. Perhaps Jenna didn’t believe that Hansen would do such a thing!
With that thought in mind, Sabrina nodded, reached out to pull her hand, and the two of them walked towards the Ink Garden.
“Grandma is getting better, but she still eats very little everyday,” Jenna explained, while they were on the electric vehicle.
“Mr. Richards and Mrs. Richards will have to come back, right?” Sabrina thought of something and hastily asked.
“Yes.” Jenna nodded. “We need to inform them to come back. The Richards Group is too chaotic now. Hansen didn’t want them to know about it, but we have to let them know about Grandma’s illness. After all, Grandma is getting older and it’s hard to say what might happen. We have to inform them, no matter what.”
“Yes, that should be the case.”
The two of them chatted for a while and soon arrived at the Ink Garden.
At the Ink Garden, the best medical team under the Richards Group helped Vivian carry out check-ups day and night, and gave her the world’s most advanced medicine.
In reality, ever since the professional medical team came over, Vivian was slowly improving and had the appetite to eat more. However, her mental state was obviously not good, especially since both of her ears were on the verge of going deaf, and her eyes couldn’t see anything clearly.
However, she still had a clear mind.
When Jenna and Sabrina appeared in front of Vivian, who was on her bed at the same time, the two of them spent a lot of effort calling out to her. It took a long time for Vivian to react and recognise them.
Vivian reached out to hold their hands with her trembling ones. As she looked at Jenna, tears streamed down her face.
She couldn’t say a word.
At this moment.
Jenna understood her grandmother’s high hopes for her. She also understood what she was thinking.
