“Leave?” Sergio panicked when he heard Sara say this. “Sara, haven’t you always thought that I was more suitable for Jenna? Besides, I love her more than Hansen does. You have also always thought that I was more considerate than him, isn’t that so?”
His eyes sparkled with eagerness and anticipation. He wanted to get Sara’s affirmation so that he could continue doing what he had been doing. However, Sara was clearer than ever. Her stare was so cold, as if he was a complete stranger. She said seriously, “Sergio, you are a government official. You should be wiser than ordinary people. Jenna and Hansen are a legally married couple. Even if they have conflicts, or if I don’t approve of them, it’s the indisputable truth. They have children. They are a family. You can’t change that.”
“Sergio, snap out of it. Jenna is not suitable for you. Even if Hansen and her were not suited for each other, the same would apply even more strongly to you. Think clearly. What you are doing now is against the law. Don’t ruin your future because of this.” Sara began to persuade Sergio earnestly.
In the past, she had always thought that this young man was good. He was open-minded and flexible, especially when it came to her daughter. She guessed that he liked Jenna from the way he always spoke of her with admiration. However, that was all there was to it, admiration. However, even if he did like her, what could he have done? After all, Jenna already had a family and a child. This was a fact that could not be changed.
She thought that he would understand. After all, he was a top student who now was in a high position in society.
In this regard, she had always felt guilty. So, she was always welcoming whenever he came to visit her. She treated him like her own son. She had never expected that he would have developed this distorted idea of things. He had even put all his efforts into making it work.
How horrible!
Sergio had gone mad. Facing Sara’s discouragement, he showed great anxiety and impatience.
“Sara, don’t worry. As long as Jenna follows me, I won’t care about what happened in her past. I will love her as if she were my life. Please give me your approval,” Sergio begged.
Sara then began to regret having regarded Sergio as a good guy. She had brought only harm to the ones she loved and herself instead.
“Sergio, c’mon now. It’s not too late to make everything right. Send me home immediately. I will act as if nothing had happened and still treat you as my son in the future. If you continue to persist, then you will be doomed. You know my son-in-law, Hansen, is not an ordinary person. If he finds out about what you did, then he will not let you go that easily.” Sara persuaded him.
Sergio didn’t listen. When he heard the name ‘Hansen’, he jumped up like he had been possessed by a demon. His fists were clenched and his eyes were burning with fire.
“Don’t mention that jerk’s name.”
“There is no turning back. Whether you are willing or not, Jenna will leave with us along with the treasure, and we’ll never come back.” Sergio’s whole body was trembling as he raised his voice.
Sara’s mind went blank. She looked up and saw Sergio’s face twisting with anger, as well as his cruel and angry glare. Her heart sank.
Sergio had gone mad. Perhaps he had always been like this, and she just hadn’t noticed. However, at that time, it was too late for her to regret it!
Sergio had already taken out his phone and begun to dial a number.
After a while, the phone was connected, and Sara looked at him nervously.
“Hello.” The phone was connected almost a second after it rang. Jenna sounded very anxious. Sergio was very pleased. The more anxious she was, the more likely she would cooperate with him.
“Jenna.” With a smile on his face, he called her slowly and politely.
“Sergio, where are you?” Jenna was different from her usual cold self. That time, she was extremely anxious and proactive.
Sergio smirked. She was anxious, but he felt in control.
“Sergio, where are you?” Jenna repeated.
That night, she and Hansen were cuddling in the living room, waiting for one of their phones to ring.
From afternoon till night, other than a few calls from Richards Manor, her phone had been unusually quiet.
The two of them were guarding their phones, and their hearts were beating faster every minute.
After Hansen called the police, everyone, including his men and a large number of police officers, had not managed to find Sara. No one had any idea where Sergio would be.
This greatly tested Hansen’s and Jenna’s patience. With so many people searching for them, to have no news at all was very hard.
Nevertheless, he had carefully analyzed it. The deeper the situation continued, the more suspicious Sergio would be.
At the same time, he understood that Sergio was here for the Ocean Heart. As long as they did not give him this treasure, he would take the initiative to come to them. Therefore, he explained to Jenna and persuaded her to calm down.
It was late at night when Sergio called.
He looked at Jenna encouragingly. With one hand holding hers, he indicated for her not to panic as she received the call from Sergio.
“Jenna, have you considered what I said to you the other day?” Sergio asked calmly.
Jenna’s eyebrows twitched as she raised her head. Hansen was looking at her encouragingly. Her heart felt warm and she calmed down. Her thoughts started to become clear.
“Sergio, is my mother with you?” Although her hands were shaking, her tone was still calm.
“Jenna, you know, I’ve been waiting for you the entire time. Bring the treasure here. I look forward to your arrival.” Sergio didn’t talk about Sara.
Jenna frowned. Hearing Sergio’s speech, he seemed to have known of Sara’s whereabouts quite well. She began to believe that her mother must have been in his hands. It was even possible that he had kidnapped her mother to threaten her.
“Sergio, do you think it’s possible? I advise you to think about your future carefully. You can still turn back. People are bound to make mistakes. The most important thing is to have the courage to correct your mistakes. Some things are not what you think, and I will not come to you.” Jenna’s face was cold as she persuaded him calmly, hoping that he could turn from evil to good and return to the right path.
At that moment, even if Yadriel had failed, most of the crimes were committed by him. As a father, if he took all the blame, although Sergio would also be punished by the law, as long as his attitude was good and he was positive, then he was not completely irredeemable. What was scary was that if he continued to be insensible, then he would make a big mistake, which would be a big pity.
However, facing her earnest persuasion, Sergio not only didn’t listen, but continued with his delusion. “Jenna, bring the treasure over. I will bring you to the United States. I can give you happiness.”
Jenna’s head began to ache faintly. She was afraid that he would get crazier.
“Sergio, I have a husband and a child. How could I go with you? Wake up,” Jenna said. She did not dare to refuse his request directly. She was afraid that he would lose his mind. As she said this, she held her breath and listened to his reaction on the other side of the line.
There was heavy breathing, and Sergio sounded as crazy as a demon.
“Jenna, listen to me, bring the Ocean Heart and leave Hansen. I will bring you, your mother, and my father. We will leave this place. We will live in a beautiful place. Our family will be very happy in the future.”
His face was full of emotions, and he was seeing all kinds of hallucinations. He even imagined that he would hold Jenna’s hand, and that they would live together forever. That was his deepest desire. The desire enveloped him entirely, and left him breathless.
Surely enough, Sara was in his hands.
At that point, Jenna completely understood. He had kidnapped her mother, and it was to make a point to her.
She thought quickly. The hasty and uncontrollable breathing on the other side of the line scared her. She was afraid that Sergio might hurt her mother out of anger. How could she ever forgive herself then?
Sara was her beloved mother.
“Sergio, wait. Let’s talk about it. I want to speak to my mother now.” She chose to make sure that her mother was fine before they proceed.
“Jenna, don’t worry. I will give you happiness. Be brave and come to me. Your mother is next to me. I will let her speak to you.” When Sergio heard Jenna’s conceding tone, he was ecstatic. He quickly handed the phone to Sara and threatened her. “Sara, Jenna is going to talk to you. Ask Jenna to come quickly. We are waiting for her.”
Sara finally understood everything when she heard this. It turned out that Sergio wanted Jenna to bring a treasure over. So, it was for the sake of money.
She really didn’t expect Sergio to be such a person. It seemed that she had misjudged him the whole time.
No matter what, she couldn’t let her daughter fall into his trap. She took the phone and cried, “Jenna, is that you?”
“Mom, are you okay?” Jenna immediately burst into tears when she heard Sara’s voice. “I’m so sorry, Mom. I got you into trouble.”
Sara felt relieved when she heard her daughter’s voice. “My sweet girl, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Listen to me, please live a happy life with Hansen. If it means that I have to die, then I’m willing. Don’t blame yourself, blame me for being ignorant. Don’t listen to Sergio…”
Before she could finish her words, her phone was snatched away by Sergio.
