“Silly girl, there is no hatred in this world for no reason. If I didn’t love you, how could I even hate you! You have to know that if I didn’t love a woman, even if she kept on pestering me, I wouldn’t even fall in love with her. Just like Aria, or Liya, I would never fall in love with them. Only the woman I love, will I love her forever, and this person will only be you.” Hansen spoke in a very soft manner, as if a wave of the spring breeze blew into Jenna’s heart. However, in the end, when he had made up his mind, he gave her a deep chill.
“So, remember, I will never allow you to leave me. It’s best if you don’t even think about it.” This was the last sentence he said when he made up his mind.
The sweetness that welled up in Jenna’s heart faded away.
She was silent.
Suddenly, she understood the intention of Trevor asking her to tidy up Hansen’s study.
She gently put the diary against the corner of the wall and then covered it with the red cloth. She thought, “I won’t open it again in the future. The past can’t be changed, and I don’t want to be entangled in the past anymore.”
“Let’s go.” Hansen held her hand and walked outside.
The turmoil that Jenna felt in her heart was far less peaceful than what she looked like on the surface.
They had fallen in love a long time ago. It was not her own wishful thinking. She was indeed his dream wife.
Knowing this, she didn’t regret it anymore. She didn’t regret making the choice that she had made all the way to this point.
They had already done their best for each other’s happiness. If they really reached the irreversible stage in the future, it would be their fate and no one could alter it.
The Xanthe family residence was in Capital City.
During this period of time, the Xanthe family was crowded with people and carriages, as there were huge crowds here.
Countless politicians went in and out of the Xanthe family residence. Even in the middle of the night, the house was still brightly lit.
Sergio was sitting on the couch in the lounge, staring motionlessly at the TV screen hanging on the wall.
This huge HD screen of the TV was showing an organized, large-scale charity event that was live.
Jenna was hosting this charity event with an elegant and decent smile on her face, wearing a polka dot dress and her beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders.
This was a charity activity that was held for children with congenital diseases, including deaf and mute children, congenital heart disease, and for children with serious illnesses including AIDS.
Jenna personally visited every ward and interacted with all the children who were suffering from congenital diseases. She gave them gifts and organised such a large-scale charity event with hundreds of rich and powerful women. She donated 50 million dollars on behalf of the Richards Group and successfully held a gala by inviting hundreds of rich and powerful women to get involved and jointly set up a charity organisation for the children with life-threatening diseases in the country to raise funds of a total of 100 million dollars.
As the donation was slowly distributed to the children in the ward, many patients were moved by this and wept, claiming that Jenna was a ‘beautiful angel’.
During the donation, she walked to the stage calmly, delivered an exciting speech, and took the initiative to donate 50 million dollars.
At that moment, all the spotlight was on her.
The entire audience in front of the TV saw a beautiful and decent woman. She was charming and graceful. She stood elegantly on the stage and gave a passionate speech, and her tone showed deep pity and sympathy for the children.
Her speech won the applause of everyone.
Everyone knew that the husband of this lady from the wealthy Richards family, Mr. Hansen, was ready to marry his second wife, Liya. It had already been officially reported.
Although her status as his legal wife would be threatened, she bore no resentment to this. There was no trace of sadness on her face. She simply held this banquet dutifully.
In fact, at this time, the entire public opinion, including the media, were biased towards her and even sympathised with her.
It seemed that there were many reporters who dared to accuse Hansen of indecent behavior. They were more sympathetic to Jenna. Especially when she appeared at the charity party, her charisma was so dazzling that it successfully attracted everyone’s attention. Even her kindness and gentleness made everyone praise her.
However, at this moment, she stood up resolutely, defending Hansen and protecting her husband’s reputation.
To the public, Jenna was a virtuous wife, a decent wife, a gentle mother, and a beautiful angel. They didn’t want her to be hurt, thinking that Hansen shouldn’t hurt her happiness by marrying the mistress, Liya.
Just like that year when Princess Diana and Prince Charles seemed like a perfect couple, but Prince Charles had cheated on her, and the love in his life turned out to be the other woman, which made everyone in the world completely realize that this fairytale love was too fantastical, and regretted it so much.
However, according to the public, Jenna was just like Princess Diana back then. That astonishing wedding stunned everyone, and also gave people a beautiful illusion of love. However, after just a year or so, her husband had cheated on her. For a woman, this would be so heartbreaking.
Fortunately, Jenna, who had experienced so many hardships, did not show any sombre expression. Her smile was still warm, her gaze was still clear, and she still laughed happily. Her optimistic appearance did not manifest any negativity against her.
Sergio gazed at the screen, feeling infatuated and smiled elegantly. Jenna was proactive and optimistic. He thought of the day when she lay in his arms and cried because of Hansen’s betrayal.
It seemed that she had already freed herself out of the pain of love.
What kind of woman was this? The betrayal of her husband, her father’s tragic death, and the betrayal of her family did not break her. She was still so enthusiastic and keen on embracing her life, even if she would be hiding in the dark, crying alone.
No matter where she was, she had never felt gloomy, never complained, and never attempted to gain others’ sympathy for her. She just allowed others to get to know her through her actions. She loved her life, had a sense of social responsibility, and she was living very well.
Sergio looked at the beautiful and elegant Jenna on the screen, and he was captivated by her.
After knowing that she got married, he spent several years trying to forget her, but he couldn’t. When he knew that she had hidden herself in Wullen Town after getting divorced, he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep for several nights.
However, when her wedding with Hansen had amazed the world, he was heartbroken and downcast.
Although he approached her with a purpose, right now, he had been deeply convinced by Jenna’s manners and propriety. This was the woman he needed.
There was only one Jenna in the world, and she was the woman he had dreamed of all his life.
If it was possible, he would never give up on this opportunity.
“Mrs. Richards, I heard that your husband is going to take a second wife. I want to ask if your relationship with Mr. Hansen is still as affectionate, compared to the past? Can you accept Liya?” When Jenna stepped down the charity stage, the media on the side swarmed towards her. There were still some indiscreet media reporters who directly asked her some blunt questions.
The people who were by her side protecting her changed their expressions, and were about to reprimand them.
However, they saw Jenna standing there at ease, and she replied with a smile, “Thank you for your concern. Mr. Hansen and I have a very good relationship. He loves me very much and I love him very much.”
“So, you agree that your husband will take a second wife, don’t you?”
“Wouldn’t you feel sad if you agreed to let your husband marry another woman?”
“If Mr. Hansen marries Liya, can you two stay together peacefully?”
…
Seeing Jenna openly answer the question, all the media reporters asked hastily.
As usual, Jenna didn’t have to pay attention to these media reporters who deliberately gossiped about the private lives of others.
However, she maintained the smile on her face. She politely replied, “Thank you for your concern. I chose to believe in my husband because he is a successful man and a very responsible man. I will respect any of his choices, and he will not do anything to hurt me easily. I trust him.”
Her confident words seemed to make all the rumors evaporate.
Could it be that there was a change in plans since Hansen announced in the news that he would take Liya as his second wife?
The media reports looked at each other curiously.
She smiled confidently. The wedding of the century that happened a year ago was still vivid in everyone’s memories. A woman was behaving so calmly when her husband cheated on her. Perhaps, Mr. Hansen had not done anything wrong to her at all. Or was she really willing to accept the woman her husband was going to marry soon?
For a while, the relationship between Hansen and Liya seemed to be more ambiguous, and the media was more interested in her.
At this moment, a large number of security guards came over and surrounded the reporters who were swarming in, and they escorted Jenna out quietly.
The door was quietly pushed open.
Yadriel walked in.
Sergio might have been too invested in it. Even a long while after Yadriel had entered, Sergio did not notice it at all.
“Hmph.” Yadriel noticed his son who was obsessively looking at Jenna on the screen with full concentration. His gaze showed that Sergio was full of longing for Jenna as he narrowed his eyes.
Even Yadriel’s sneer didn’t make Sergio realize his presence nor awakened him from his dream.
“Sergio.” Yadriel had no choice but to speak in a heavy tone.
“Ah, Dad.” Sergio was finally awakened by Yadriel and stood up hurriedly. Even after standing up for a while, he was still not himself yet.
“Dad, what’s the matter?” Sergio looked passive as he asked.
Yadriel looked at him indifferently and said, “Take a seat.”
He said lightly and sat down on the couch next to him.
Sergio finally came back to his senses and also sat down on the couch.
“Sergio, tell me, how’s the situation with you over there?” Yadriel asked calmly after he sat down.
“Dad, the situation over there is completely under my control. Zoella has gone insane in seeking revenge from the Richards Group. But don’t worry, no matter what she will do, she is still under my control,” Sergio said confidently.
“Well.” Yadriel nodded, but his expression was inscrutable. “Son, being able to control the whole situation is naturally a good thing. Now, I’m worried that you will drag yourself into it as well.”
