Chapter 135
Chapter 135
Since Zoey was very young, Hansen had been treating her very well. He often took her around to have fun and cared about her a lot, fearing that she would get hurt. She was like a little princess to him.
He could pamper and spoil her, and he was willing to do anything for her. When she was a little girl, she thought that she would marry him in the future. However, when she grew up, it was only then did she know that they were cousins, and it was completely impossible for them to get married.
When she realized this, she was very annoyed, and there was always an inexplicable loss in her heart. Zoey became very envious of the lucky person who would be able to marry her cousin in the future.
When she was still young, Hansen often told her that he would marry her if no one wanted her. Being ignorant at that time, Zoey actually believed the joke and the idea of him marrying her had been planted deep in her heart. Even until now, she was still having trouble getting out of this beautiful dream.
Therefore, when she saw him get married, she cried violently and was unwilling to attend their wedding. The crying continued until Hansen comforted her and suggested that his uncle send her to Los Angeles three years ago. It was also his form of apology for the joke he made when he was young. He really treated her very well because of this. As long as she had any request in mind, he would always try his best to fulfill her wish. His pampering and love for her were true, but it was only the kind of love between siblings and Zoey knew it. After all, it was impossible for them to date each other, let alone become husband and wife. After studying abroad, she also slowly understood what was going on and had long woken up from her dream.
However, the moment she saw Hansen, she would have a really sweet feeling. They were even closer than she was with her own biological brother. From childhood till adulthood, he really treated
her like a princess.
"Little girl, you're already a grownup but you're still mentioning things from your childhood." Hansen looked helpless and ridiculed her. As long as he heard her talk about her childhood, he would have a headache. He was too young back then and did not know about marriage at all, but this girl would never let it go easily.
"Let me warn you, don't bully my sister-in-law. I like her." Zoey smiled innocently.
She had already noticed that Jenna didn't know her or who she was. She even regarded her as a love rival. If she guessed it correctly, she must not have slept well the night before, and it was even possible that she cried all night.
Hansen was really blessed. There were so many women who loved him, and there was such a beautiful woman who loved him so much, yet, he complained about her being too ambiguous in expressing her feelings. He must have been used to being superior since childhood and was extremely selfish and domineering when it came to relationship matters. He could never tolerate a woman who didn't care about him even if it was only a small matter; she knew the fact very clearly.
However, she could also tell that Hansen loved Jenna very much too.
"She does not even treat you as her sister. How can you side with her so quickly?" Hansen sneered.
Zoey blushed, and said angrily, "Isn't it good for your sake too?"
When she said this, she looked to the front and couldn't help being shocked. "Hansen, Jenna is gone. Where has she gone?"
Hansen was shocked when he heard the words, and he hurriedly looked around. Jenna could not be found in the crowd.
There was panic in his heart.
D*mned woman, where did she go?
In a hurry, he handed Zoey the car keys and said anxiously, "Zoey, you take the things and go back first. I'll look for her now."
"Huh, hoes before bros." Zoey pouted, dissatisfied, when she saw Hansen's eagerly departing, but then she smiled when she saw her favorite clothes.
Hansen searched all the way till the end of the street and then looked on several other streets too. However, he saw no signs of Jenna.
He felt angry and regretful for not telling Jenna the day before that Zoey was just his cousin.
However, where was this woman right now?
He did see Jenna carrying a heavy object in her hands so she should not have gone far, but still, Hansen saw no signs of her even after searching the nearby streets thoroughly.
After looking for her for a while, he felt even more annoyed in his heart. This woman's self- esteem was too strong, and she would not say anything even if she was mad; she was used to keeping all her feelings in her heart.
He deliberately did not clarify his relationship with Zoey because he wanted to test her in order to see her reaction, so that he could evaluate his position in her heart. However, he did not expect her to not have any reaction at all and even left them after throwing a tantrum.
It was a bit far from the villa. Did she know the address to go home?
She had stayed there for only two days!
The villa was bought in Jenna's name two and a half years ago. In fact, he did so because she was new in the country and he knew she would be lonely. Besides, his mother did not like her staying at Richards Manor so he thought it might be better for her to stay in Los Angeles, away from all the conflict.
He initially planned to live in Los Angeles with her when the Richards Group business expanded overseas.
However, he didn't expect her to suddenly return to A City and even ask for a divorce.
The development of the latter event was beyond his expectation, and was beyond his control.
After searching for a long time, he still failed to see her, and he didn't know where to look for her. Just like three years ago when she secretly came to Los Angeles, he bought that villa but could not find her at all. He wanted her to live a better life but all his efforts had been in vain as he did not even manage to find her after trying twice.
Richards Group had too many matters to deal with back then, so he could only focus on his work, thus he did not continue searching for her.
The clear river flew out of Santa Anita Park and traversed the northern part of the city. The lush green grass on the two sides of the river was so beautiful. The racecourse was just by the side of the river and many aristocrats were enjoying themselves in it.
Jenna sat under a tree with a dull expression and scattered thoughts. The tree was large with thick leaves and had white flowers growing on it. It managed to cover her little figure under the tree.
The strong floral scent drifted into her nose and reminded her of certain memories. Her heart felt bitter and the past haunted her again. Soon, she burst into tears.
She felt so lonely and didn't know where to head to next. She did not want to see the intimate scene of Hansen hugging another woman or her heart would hurt a lot.
She just wanted to sit in a place quietly and be alone. She could stay under the tree and heal herself for a moment at the same time while composing her emotions.
She did not know how long she had been there and it was soon noon. She was wondering if they had finished shopping or not. Maybe they were having a meal now or had even gone back to the villa.
She didn't want to go back to stay with them, or she would be very unhappy. She preferred to stay under the tree alone, so that she could organize her thoughts without anyone disturbing her.
In the warm sunshine, she enjoyed the view of the river and she felt more relaxed.
The water here was much cleaner than the water back in A City. She sat there alone for quite some time until she felt hungry. Only then did she decide to get some food. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
She took the phone out of her pocket but couldn't turn it on. It turned out that she had forgotten to charge her phone the night before.
Somehow, she heard a voice yelling her name "Jenna". She raised her eyes and saw a figure walk towards her from a distance. Seeing the graceful figure, it seemed to be Hansen. She was startled but did not dare to believe it.
Wasn't Hansen having a good time with Zoey? Why was he here looking for her?
After thinking about it, she found it ridiculous and at the same time, thought that it was impossible. She then laughed at herself for overthinking even after being treated badly by him.
Soon the footsteps were getting closer and faster. The figure was also panting. Obviously, he was walking in a hurry.
Turning her head, she saw that Hansen's face looked flushed, and his hair looked damp. He was obviously sweating and was striding towards her.
Moreover, his face was full of anger and anxiety. The moment he saw her, there was even a hint of light in his eyes, but it was quickly covered by annoyance.
"Lady, what are you trying to do? Do you think it's fun to leave me just like that?" He rushed over and yelled at her.
Hansen was not done scolding her. The lady had made him look for her for several hours. Anyone would have gone crazy if they were required to look for someone for hours. This woman had really worried him a lot.
Jenna was shocked by his anger, and soon infinite grievances overwhelmed her. How could he rush up to her and yell at her like that? Who was she to him?!
She was also a human with dignity. He could not simply insult or scold her just because he was wealthy or domineering enough.
"Hansen, who are you to accuse me? Do I have the responsibility and obligation to accompany you to pick up girls and carry your stuff? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're rich. I will not give in. I am a living person, not your plaything." All the grievances she felt spurted out. Jenna could no longer control her emotions so she released them completely. She burst into tears, resisting loudly, and her thin shoulders trembled from agitation. Her chest undulated violently.
She looked so sad and disappointed.
Jenna's expression stunned Hansen. He had never seen her this sad before.
His anger gradually subsided, and there was a trace of pain in his heart. It was his love and pity for her. He wanted to stretch his arms to embrace and comfort her.
"Hansen Richards, let me tell you the truth. My father is dead and I want to avenge my father so I joined Richards Group. I haven't done anything that's against you or the company. You have no right to insult me. Yet, you look down on me, and I also despise you. Once I successfully avenge my father, I will leave you as well as the company for good. I never need to be enslaved by you anymore." Jenna had lost her mind, and all she could think of now was Hansen's intimacy with Zoey. Her face was full of tears, and her voice was full of grief and anger. "It is the same every time. When you want to vent your emotions only do you come to me. When you want to insult someone, then you pick on me. Am I not a human being to you? I am also a human being, a living person. I'm not your slave, nor your plaything. Hansen, you have no right to insult me."
It was disgusting. Why should she be humiliated by him? So what if he was rich?
