“What?” Hansen blurted out as his body trembled.
He could smell the familiar scent again as it traveled through the air.
Alvin stood with his mouth agape. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
He saw the back of a graceful woman standing by the entrance of the hotel. Judging by her figure, she looked like the woman whom Hansen had been bitterly yearning for over the past year.
He was about to rush up to the woman.
Suddenly, a black luxury car drove over.
The car door opened swiftly.
The woman bent down and entered the luxury car.
It was driven away as soon as Alvin arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
“Alvin, what did you see? Did you see my wife?” Hansen asked, hurrying over to Alvin.
Alvin was stumped for a while before he replied in surprise, “Mr. Richards, I cannot believe my eyes! There was a woman standing here just now. She looks like Mrs. Richards from behind.”
“Is that so?” Hansen raised his eyebrows and immediately said, “Ah, I’m sure it was her. That woman has to be Jenna. I knew she was still alive. She has been in Srirano all this while. I could sense that she was near me.”
Hansen was extremely excited. His entire body began to tremble. “Alvin, where has she gone?”
“She got into a luxury car and left,” Alvin said curiously.
“A luxury car? Whose car? Quick! Let’s give it a chase.” Hansen’s heart started to race. His face was flushed.
“Mr. Richards, just a moment ago I managed to catch a glimpse of the license plate. I’m going to send the license number to Maloney and ask her to check it immediately.” Alvin had never believed that Jenna would still be alive as it was implausible. However, just then, when he saw the woman’s back, his whole body began to tremble.
That figure could be superimposed with Jenna’s.
Hansen was very certain that she was still alive, under the premise that there had never been any information from Jenna. Maybe there was really an unseen force that was bringing them together. Perhaps, God was giving them a chance to reunite.
This was the biggest shock Alvin had ever had in his life.
He quickly texted the license number to Maloney.
“Alvin, hurry up. Let’s give chase to the luxury car.” Hansen was already losing his patience as he anxiously instructed Alvin.
“Okay,” Alvin replied as he put away his phone. He quickly started the car and drove towards the direction of the luxury car, with Hansen in the back seat.
The Adames Mansion was brightly lit at night. It was as bright as the stars in the sky.
This was really an eye-opening experience for Jenna. The Adames Mansion not only stood out, but the design of the courtyard door was also different from others.
The entire mansion was magnificent and was comparable to the royal palace. It was said that Melvin had specially hired a European designer to imitate the palaces in Europe, which was grand and emphasized its nobility.
After Steffan steadily parked the car, he got out of the car, opened the door, and reached a hand out to Jenna.
Jenna hesitated for a while before accepting his hand.
Steffan smiled and reached out to hold Jenna’s ice-cold fingers.
The two of them held hands as they made their way towards the grand hall.
Jenna had a feeling that if Melvin was not an old man like Mr. Tangger, then he had to be like Steffan. After all, he was an automotive designer!
Soon, Jenna could not be more wrong.
The banquet was very easygoing. Guests scattered and chatted in groups of twos and threes. The laughter was endless. There was no solemn atmosphere at all. It was like a high school party.
As soon as she entered the hall, Jenna saw a young man with curly hair, dressed in red pants. He was holding a glass of red wine while being surrounded by a group of s*xy and attractive women.
He held the stem of the wine glass between his thumb and middle finger, and occasionally took a sip. He smiled as he flirted with the women around him.
“Is this Melvin?” Jenna blinked her eyes hard and asked incredulously.
Steffan’s lips curled into a smile as he said, “To be honest, I’ve never seen him before. I heard that he used to work here in Srirano before he left for Europe. He was initially determined to make a name for himself in Europe, but for some reason, he suddenly returned to Srirano.”
“Mr. Adames, here, have a sip of my wine,” said one of the many women around Melvin. This gave them confirmation.
It gave them confirmation that this androgynous man was actually none other than Melvin Adames.
There were many guests coming and going, but he did not entertain them at all. He somehow managed to attract a large group of beautiful women.
The guests seemed to have adapted to his behavior. They came and went freely and no one cared about these small rituals.
Jenna had done her preparation before coming. She had also deliberately sorted through her designs and picked out the most outstanding one. She genuinely had good faith. She wanted to have a good talk with him and try her best to convince him to join their company.
In the end, it all went out the window.
Jenna instantly had the feeling that her homework was completely in vain.
Melvin was drunk and his face was full of lust. It was very obvious that he was planning on getting laid with all these beautiful ladies that night.
How could Melvin possibly be the most sought after designer with this behavior?
Had Steffan made a mistake?
Jenna felt her doubts creeping in on her.
Melvin did not look like a world-renowned designer at all. He looked more like a playboy who enjoyed sleeping around.
Clearly, it was not stated in the list of hobbies that Steffan had given to her the day before.
There was a sudden moment of tranquility in the midst of the party. Perhaps, it was because Steffan and Jenna had entered the hall.
Everyone felt that the entire hall seemed to be lit up by a strange light. They all had their eyes on Steffan and Jenna.
At that time, some media personnel next to them raised the cameras in their hands and began taking their pictures.
That was the first time Jenna had appeared in the media ever since she had been rescued. Not only that, she appeared hand in hand with Steffan.
She felt very uncomfortable.
“Come on, let’s go over and say hello to Master Adames.” Steffan ignored the media and smiled. He gracefully walked towards Melvin with Jenna in tow.
“Hello, Master Adames,” Steffan greeted Melvin with a smile. He extended his hand out to Melvin politely.
Melvin also felt that the atmosphere was unusual. He quickly broke free from the arms of the beautiful women around him. When he saw Steffan’s extended hand, he reached out and shook his hand slightly before letting go.
Melvin looked at Jenna with fascinating eyes.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
When Jenna realized that Melvin was staring at her, she took a deep breath and smiled back gracefully. She then said, “Hello, Master Adames. I’m pleased to meet you. My name is Lexantra, I’m the automotive designer at the Yintern Group.”
