Yadriel glanced at Sergio, and his face darkened.
“Sergio, I know what you’re thinking about. You have to stop thinking about being with Jenna, or you’ll ruin yourself,” Yadriel said with a harsh tone.
Sergio trembled a little as there was something complicated in his gaze.
If Jenna really had the ‘Ocean Heart’ with her, then what would Yadriel do to Jenna? Sergio didn’t want to imagine that. He could never hurt Jenna.
“Dad, I understand.” Sergio lowered his head in the face of Yadriel’s scolding.
He did not dare to spend another second under Yadriel’s stern gaze. Sergio left dejectedly.
“He’s really good-for-nothing.” Yadriel sighed as he watched Sergio leave. How could Sergio be so foolish to fall for a woman? Moreover, on top of that, it was an unrequited love!
Thinking that it was a matter of time for Sergio to suffer a loss, Yadriel’s heart ached.
It was normal for people to fantasize about beautiful things. If Sergio found Jenna gorgeous, then Yadriel would be perfectly fine for Sergio to fantasize about her. However, it can’t be to the extent of falling head over heels for her!
Edgar snuck in through another door as soon as Sergio left.
“Chief, it seems that Mr. Xanthe is driven by his emotions.” Edgar sighed.
“That’s right. It is a fatal weakness for a politician. He’s an amazing son, but he’s stubborn.” Yadriel sighed helplessly.
“Chief, don’t worry. Mr. Xanthe seems blessed, and I’m sure he won’t suffer much in his future.” Edgar consoled Yadriel before asking, “Chief, what should I do about Hansen?”
A fierce light flashed in Yadriel’s eyes as he heard that. He smiled sinisterly and said, “He’s basically courting death to be against me during this critical period of time. He shouldn’t blame me for not showing him mercy then.”
Yadriel then approached Edgar and whispered something in his ear. Edgar nodded and left the room in no time.
Thunder filled the sky as lightning started to crack from a distance.
In the office of the Ink Garden.
Jenna was sitting on the office chair, checking out the monthly report. Her fingers were clicking on the calculator.
A typhoon was approaching.
The wind was getting stronger, making one feel chilly.
A strong wind entered through the window, causing the window and the door to creak.
Jenna lifted her head slightly and brushed a lock of hair from her face. Liya was seen passing by the window. The clicking of her heels was accompanied by the howling of the wind.
Jenna frowned at the sight of Liya.
Jenna felt disgusted when she thought of Liya.
She then buried herself in work.
The clicking of the heels were headed towards the office.
“Jenna, you’re here, loyal to your work.” Liya chuckled as she entered the office. She leaned over the desk, cupping her cheeks with her hands, blinking her innocent eyes at Jenna.
Her perfume was too strong and sharp. Jenna felt disgusted at her scent. It was even worse when the wind blew in, drifting the scent towards Jenna.
Jenna looked up and saw Liya’s red lips as well as her heavy makeup. It was as if her makeup would collapse at any time with her smile that wide.
Jenna’s bright eyes condensed into a cold gaze as she stared at Liya.
Liya’s gaze was a little out of focus, and there was an evil vibe from it. It was nothing compared to the bright and smart vibe Liya emanated when she first started to work under the Richards Group. Jenna was disgusted at how much Liya had changed. She could tell that there was something bewitching about her.
“Is there something I can do for you? You know that I’m working now,” Jenna asked coldly with a neutral expression.
“Jenna, you seem to hate me, but aren’t we family? We share the same husband.” Liya blinked her eyes and pouted, deliberately trying to please her.
Jenna felt goosebumps all over her body as she felt disgusted to hear that. “Shut up. What family? Stop saying nonsense.”
Jenna stood up as she wanted to leave the office. She didn’t want to stay a moment longer with that disgusting woman. She felt suffocated to be in the same room as her.
“Jenna, isn’t that the fact? You can’t erase that fact even if you refuse to acknowledge it.” Liya giggled as she took a step forward to block Jenna’s path. She then said, “Don’t leave just yet. I have something to ask of you.”
“What are you trying to do?” Jenna couldn’t help but to raise her voice when she saw Liya blocking her path.
Liya clearly wasn’t bothered by Jenna’s harsh tone at all. She just clicked her tongue and said, “Look at you, looking all so superior just because you’re now the head of the household. You look so dignified as you make all the decisions in this place. I envy that.”
Jenna glanced coldly at her. Clearly looking annoyed, Jenna lifted an eyebrow. “Did you come all the way here just to tell me this?”
“Yes and no.” Liya dragged her voice and said with a smile, “Now that we share the same husband, can you stop treating me this coldly? You’re now the head of the household. You can at least offer me some benefits in return, can’t you?”
“I see it now. You’re here for this!” Jenna said with a sneer. She finally understood Liya’s intention.
“That’s right. Look, I’m not here to complain to you. I have no job, and no company is going to offer me a job either. I haven’t been paid for a while, and look at me now. I’m penniless. I can’t even bring food to the table. Can you please be so kind, and offer me some help?” Liya pleaded shamelessly as she fiddled with her fingers.
“You reap what you sow. Do you not understand this? How are you different from beggars on the street? Liya, you’re a top student. You should be doing something meaningful and creative with your own talents instead of begging shamelessly for someone to help you. This isn’t the right way,” Jenna said seriously with a cold expression.
“But, Jenna, don’t you see that I’m in trouble now? We are family. Can’t you help me?” Liya wasn’t bothered at all by Jenna’s words. She continued to plead for Jenna’s help, and even extended her arm to get hold of Jenna.
Jenna felt disgusted and swung her arm away. Jenna then tried to walk past Liya in order to leave the office.
