Meanwhile, in the five-star hotel.
With an evasive smile, Hansen walked to the couch and sat down.
“Jaqueline, did Grandpa Johan call you here, or did you come by yourself?” After he sat down, Hansen asked her straightforwardly.
Jaqueline’s face was a little bitter. She was a famous young lady in Capital City, and many people wanted to have dinner with her. Yet, Hansen didn’t seem to appreciate it. Of course, she didn’t care.
That year, at the ball held by Johan, all the celebrities in Capital City gathered. Johan took her to meet a lot of political leaders. Jaqueline was adored, and everyone’s attention was on her. Everyone was complimenting her.
Johan laughed heartily as Jaqueline followed behind him. Her smile was bright and charming.
Jaqueline stood on the stage and looked down. She immediately noticed Hansen standing leisurely with a smile on his face among all the young handsome men. Like the other men who would turn to look at her with admiration when they heard everyone praising her, Hansen also glanced at her. Nonetheless, there was only a hint of praise, but not a look of worship like other men’s. At that time, she remembered his eyes.
That was all!
“What if I said that I came here on my own?” Jaqueline asked with soft laughter as she lifted her dress with her hands and sat down across from Hansen.
Hansen smiled. “Thank you for coming to see me, but it’s not a good time to visit me at this time. How about this? You should go back first, and when I’m done with my matters, I’ll treat you to Western food. What do you think?”
Jaqueline smiled and answered, “Hansen, I secretly learnt that you were staying here from my grandfather. Since you didn’t visit me even when you came to Capital City, I came to look for you. Well, since you’re here in Capital City, I should treat you to a meal. Jenna is not here. Hence, that’s why you dare not to eat with a woman, right?”
After that, she pursed her lips and stood up with a smile. Jaqueline was wearing a long skirt, and looked noble and graceful. She came from a noble family and was influenced by Johan since she was a child. Johan was very fond of her and nurtured her a lot. Therefore, the temperament she exuded was by no means something an ordinary woman could have.
Hansen smiled helplessly!
“You think too much. I’m just worried about your safety. Do you know why your grandfather arranged for me to be here?” Hansen smiled and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
“Even though I don’t know, I know Grandpa will definitely ensure the safety of this place. As such, you can be rest assured and have dinner with me.” Jaqueline was indeed clever. She tilted her head and looked at Hansen. “Furthermore, I just returned from Richards Manor today, and I met Jenna.”
When Hansen heard this, he was somewhat astonished. The expression on his face turned a little nervous as he questioned, “You went to Richards Manor? Is Jenna alright?”
Jaqueline saw his concern for Jenna from his face and couldn’t help but to smile. “It seems that you and Jenna are very affectionate. I’m very envious of the both of you.”
Hansen laughed. “Don’t worry. In the future, you’ll have a better Mr. Right to keep you company. You’ll be happier than us.”
Jaqueline’s heart was slightly sour. She grew up in the spotlight, but she still couldn’t find a partner. Was she too excellent, or was fate making a fool of her?
Jaqueline looked up, and she giggled. “Well, aren’t you still going to have dinner with me?”
Hansen was helpless and could only smile. “If Miss Moore doesn’t mind, then I’ll respectfully accept your offer.”
With that, he stood up, and walked towards the bar with his tall frame.
Jaqueline smiled triumphantly and exclaimed, “Don’t worry, Jenna is doing well. Her belly is more obvious too.”
Hearing this, Hansen felt warm in his heart. Jenna’s slightly bulging belly flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth were full of tender smiles. Hansen felt hopeful, and his mood was great.
“Let’s have some red wine to celebrate. For Jenna and the child, shall we?” Jaqueline opened a bottle of red wine and waved it in front of Hansen.
Hansen was in a good mood and agreed readily.
The Western food was very authentic. Although Jaqueline was a lady, it could be seen that she liked to eat the food, and they suited her tastes.
Coincidentally, Hansen was feeling hungry as well. So, he ate a little with her.
The two chatted from time to time. It was all mindless gossip. Hansen had some personal matters. Hence, he refused to drink after drinking some red wine.
Jaqueline did not try to force her way through. She bade her goodbye to Hansen and returned home later on.
The waiter came over to clean the rest of the food and wine.
Hansen took a few steps on the balcony and looked out at the bustling lights in Capital City. He was deep in thought.
He had finally completely understood what Johan was thinking.
Yadriel was too cunning. Even Johan had pretended to be unperturbed and ignorant for such a long time. He had to put away his sharpness and wait for the right opportunity.
“Alvin, the military will start trading within these two days. All of you need to keep a close eye on them, so that you can get some solid evidence.” Hansen took out his phone and ordered in a deep voice.
“Okay, Mr. Richards.” Alvin reported in a low voice, “Mr. Richards, I find that there are suddenly some people coming out of this area. They don’t seem to be from the anti-government military or terrorists. I don’t know where they come from.”
Hansen’s sharp brows furrowed. “Alvin, no matter what, we only get one opportunity, and we must get the evidence. If we can’t get it, then it’s very likely that we can no longer bring Yadriel down. I’m using the election to delay him now, but we still have to rely on this evidence to defeat him for real.”
What Hansen mentioned was completely correct. After the incident that day, he understood that even the venerable Johan could not take down Yadriel. He pretended to be unperturbed and ignorant, and had not taken any action, but in reality, he still could not find any powerful evidence to take down Yadriel.
Therefore, Hanse had to be more cautious.
However, after that day’s incident, Hansen finally realized Johan’s thoughts. Johan actually disliked Yadriel, and he was finding ways to defeat him.
For Hansen, this was already good news. If he could get the evidence, with Johan’s help from behind the scenes, then Yadriel would be miserably defeated.
At the same time, Hansen also understood that Johan cared for the Richards family, and his friendship with the Richards family was sincere.
Hansen was very happy.
Now, he wanted to use his own abilities to bring down Yadriel, the black sheep, and turn the tables around.
He hid here, understanding Johan’s thoughts. Yadriel wanted to catch him because he was their thorn in their side. Hence, they had to control Hansen. Only when he was at ease would they be able to do it freely. As such, he was able to fulfill his wish!
Hansen’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
“Yadriel, I don’t believe that you can control the whole world with your bare hands!” Hansen thought to himself.
“Rest assured, Mr. Richards. We will do our best.” Alvin’s tone was solemn.
“Alvin, keep an eye on him and do it boldly. I have informed Christopher here. He has arranged the police force to assist you,” Hansen notified Alvin in a low voice.
“Okay, Mr. Richards.” Alvin’s spirits had obviously been uplifted, and his voice became loud and clear.
After putting away the phone, Hansen took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He took a deep breath. This was the first time he had smoked after he married Jenna and promised her. There was no reason to have the cigarette but simply to sober up his head.
Hansen wanted to be happy, and he wanted to provide happiness for Jenna as well as their children. There was no room for losing this time, only winning!
