“Mr. Richards, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” Alvin felt the need to tell Hansen the truth when he saw his disappointed face.
“Go on,” Hansen said impatiently.
“Mr. Richards, what I want to say is that the chances of Mrs. Richards surviving such a high fall is very slim…” Alvin thought for a while before he spoke. He really could not bear to see the disappointed look on Hansen’s face.
“B*stard, all of you seem to be cursing her. Where is your conscience?” Hansen was furious. He picked up a stack of documents from his table and threw it at Alvin.
Alvin stood still. The documents hit him and fell to the ground.
He bent down and carefully picked up the documents.
“Mr. Richards, you can be mad at me, but you can’t ignore my words. You and Mrs. Richards were deeply in love with each other. If she was still alive, she would have come to find you. The Richards Group has branches all over the world. As long as she went to report herself in either one of the branches, I’m sure we would have obtained the information. Or, as long as she called you…” Alvin said as he gathered documents and placed them back on the desk. He had thoroughly analyzed the situation.
This world was full of people. It was impossible to find one person. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hansen’s face was gloomy as he fell onto his chair. His gaze was terrifyingly cold.
Yes, if Jenna was still alive, then why didn’t she come to look for him?
They had a family together and they were a loving couple.
The day before the incident, she was still sleeping in his arms. They loved each other very deeply.
“Jenna, where exactly are you?”
“If you were still alive, then why didn’t you come and find me?”
“Have you lost your confidence in me?”
He asked the heavens above!
Hansen buried his head in his hands. He could feel a headache coming on.
Then, his phone rang suddenly.
He let it ring for a while before eventually answering it.
“Hello.” As soon as he opened his mouth, Marissa said, “Hansen, you have to come home early for dinner today. Jerry will be leaving for England tomorrow. You have to come back and spend some time with him before he leaves.”
As soon as Marissa finished speaking, Jerry grabbed the phone from the side and said, “Daddy, you have to come back and drink with me. I’ll be flying off tomorrow. I need to study hard in England. So, you must accompany me today.”
A doting and gentle smile immediately appeared on Hansen’s frosty face. His voice was also particularly gentle as he said, “Very well, Jerry. Wait for me.”
He hung up the phone as a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and picked up his briefcase.
Alvin followed him closely. He always paid attention to Hansen’s movements, fearing that he might bump into something.
“By the way, Alvin, I want you to conduct an investigation of the Yintern family. I want you to check which Yintern family runs an automobile company,” Hansen ordered Alvin. His mood seemed to have improved drastically compared to moments ago. It was as if a ray of light was shining above his head.
“Yes, Mr. Richards.” Alvin did not understand why Hansen wanted to do this, but he agreed anyway.
Hansen felt much more at ease after giving out his orders as he made his way out of the building.
Hansen had rented a house in Capital City a long time ago.
The Richards family’s villa in Capital City was also quite luxurious.
As soon as Hansen pulled into the garage.
Jerry came rushing out of the living room.
“Dad, you’re back!” Jerry rushed out and shouted at Hansen, who had just gotten out of his car.
When Hansen heard Jerry’s familiar and amiable voice, he smiled happily.
“Jerry.” He vaguely saw his son rushing towards him. He reached out and picked him up. He kissed his face and asked, “Jerry, do you miss me?”
“Of course, Dad!” Jerry wrapped his arms around his neck as he whined. He was acting like a spoiled child. In the past, Jerry would’ve never done such things to Hansen. He would only do it with Jenna. However, after Jenna left, he naturally acted spoiled with Hansen.
“Has Grandma finished cooking?” Hansen smiled and allowed him to act like a spoiled child as he asked in a friendly manner. He then carried him and walked towards the living room.
“Yes, she is. Grandma made all of our favourite dishes.” Jerry nodded his head and said proudly. After that, he placed his lips close to Hansen’s ear and whispered, “Daddy, let me tell you a secret. That lady is here again. She’s talking and laughing with Grandma, but I don’t like her at all. Do you like her?”
A cold glint flashed in Hansen’s eyes. He immediately understood who Jerry was referring to.
Of course, he was referring to Jaqueline.
She had been very close to Marissa ever since the headquarters of the Richards Group had been moved to Capital City. Furthermore, it is known that Marissa was very fond of her. It was as if she wanted her to become his second wife. Even Jerry could sense this.
“What is she doing here?” Hansen’s voice suddenly turned cold as he furrowed his brows.
He did not expect her to show up at his house after she left the company. This made Hansen very uncomfortable. He only wanted to reunite with his family. He did not want anyone else to be present.
“Dad, I’m guessing that she has a crush on you,” Jerry said angrily. “But I don’t like her at all. I’m even more unwilling for her to be my stepmother. Dad, you have to stand firm. You must not let her succeed. Especially after I go abroad. You must not get together with her. Otherwise, I will have to sever ties with you.”
Jerry was very decisive. It carried a hint of a threat.
Hansen was taken aback. He touched his little head with his hand and solemnly promised him. “Jerry, I don’t like her either. It’s impossible for me to marry her. Regardless, she’s your aunt. She’s one of our relatives. We must show her some respect, do you understand?”
“No, I just hate her. She’s trying to take you away without permission.” Jerry’s face was filled with worry. His eyes were filled with caution. “Daddy, you have to remember that we have already pinky promised. You must not go back on our promise. When I’m abroad, you must not flirt or hook up with her. You promised me.”
Hansen smiled when he heard this. “Jerry, I will be flying straight to Srirano after I send you off to England tomorrow. I will not be coming home for a while. Also, in the future, I will have to focus fully on the project in Srirano. Don’t worry, she will not have the opportunity to get close to me.”
When Jerry heard this, he finally felt at ease.
They entered the living room as soon as they finished speaking.
“Hansen, you are back!” Marissa greeted him with a smile when he entered the living room with Jerry in his arms. After greeting him, she reached out for Jerry and said, “Jerry, come here. You’re going to leave for England tomorrow. I am going to miss you.”
“I don’t want to.” Jerry was disgusted with Marissa because she was close to Jaqueline. He turned his head away and caught sight of Jaqueline walking out of the kitchen. He was even more conflicted and immediately shouted, “I only want Daddy. I don’t want to see any other woman in our house.”
His voice was so loud that everyone in the living room could hear it clearly.
Marissa obviously understood what Jerry meant. She looked a little helpless.
“After all, which kid would want a stepmother? However, his biological mother is already dead, isn’t she? Life goes on.”
She sighed.
