Chapter 146
Chapter 146
Earl applauded Hansen secretly in his heart. He admired his intelligence, but on the other hand, he knew that Hansen was not that simple and kind.
What did that mean?
It showed that Hansen wanted to solve this problem with his own ability and did not need to rely on him. He also no longer needed his daughter.
It was obvious why he did this. He was already hinting his answer, whether he would choose Aria or Jenna.
Boy, you were a man who didn't want to rely on a woman. This was great!
"However, you ignored my daughter and want to abandon her. Who do you think you are? If you wanted to trick us, I won’t treat you any better either. I was the dignified Mayor McAdams. If you wanted to trick us, no matter how powerful you are, you still have to ask for my permission, okay?" He thought to himself
In fact, Earl did not completely oppose Aria's marriage to Hansen because he had his plans too.
Of course, Earl was not willing to be just the deputy mayor. He wanted to go further. He wanted to be the mayor of the city. He also wanted the power and money of being a mayor. In A City, Hansen, one of the wealthiest men in the world, was undoubtedly the best candidate to help him. If Hansen could be his son-in-law and support him, then he would be able to become the city's mayor.
Of course, didn't Norton also want to be deputy mayor too? Earl was willing to join forces with the Richards family.
What was more, Hansen was a talented person, good-looking, shrewd, and capable. He was suitable for his daughter too, if she married him.
He just didn't expect Jenna to appear in the middle, and of course Hansen's grandmother was one of the obstacles; she was stubborn. Even if Jenna had great abilities, she was still Hansen's ex- wife. Without the support of Hansen's grandmother, she wouldn't be able to come back to the Richards Family, no matter how great she was.
It was just that Earl never thought that Hansen's heart had long belonged to a woman. If Aria didn't play some tricks on him, he would never look at Aria at all, let alone develop their relationship until this stage. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dad, I love Hansen and I fell in love with him a long time ago. You know that Hansen also loves me, and promises to marry me. If that woman didn't come between us, we will already be married for a long time now," Aria said with red eyes. "Are you my real dad? Why can't you support me for once? Let me tell you, if I can't marry Hansen, I would rather die."
When Aria said this, she lost control of her emotions again, and she fell on the sofa and started crying.
When Aria said she wanted to die, Georgia's face turned pale with fright. She still remembered the last time Aria tried to kill herself by using sleeping pills. She had only one daughter. If anything happened to her, what would she do for the rest of her life?
Georgia stood up instantly while crying. She pointed at Earl and shouted, "Earl, if something happens to my daughter, I won't forgive you. If a deputy mayor like you can’t even help your own daughter with this matter, you really don't deserve to be her father!" At that point, seeing Aria run into the bedroom, Georgia worried that she would do something stupid so she hurriedly ran to comfort her.
Then both their cries came out of the bedroom.
Earl's eyes were filled with deep and extremely dark light. From the feeling of annoyance at his daughter's sadness to the feeling of shock, and now he felt a chill creep down his spine. He only had one daughter!
After a few days of busy work, Jenna finally solved the company's problem, little by little. Fortunately, Hansen had cultivated many good workers and they were all obedient and respectful to Hansen. Hansen would only return to the company every morning for a regular meeting, and then he would hurriedly leave afterward.
After Jenna took over, they obeyed her as usual.
In that way, Jenna's work was not so messy and exhausting.
That night, Jenna felt a little tired, so she wanted to go back earlier to rest and get a good sleep.
Just as she walked through the entrance of Green Jade Garden, she accidentally bumped into a person in the hallway. "I'm sorry." Even though it was the other person who walked hurriedly and bumped into her, she took the initiative to apologize first. After all, she hoped for a peaceful life with the people living under the same roof.
However, the person in front of her was not so friendly. After the "idiot" bumped into her, she scolded Jenna fiercely. Her voice was anxious and annoyed. With a harsh and rude voice, she pushed Jenna back hard. At a glance, she seemed extremely lacking in manners.
Who was this person?
She felt that that person was neither Marissa nor Aria. She was not even a maid from Green Jade Garden.
After being pushed back by that figure, Jenna stood still, and thought that the rude voice was very familiar. She then looked up and was shocked!
The hypocritical woman standing in front of her turned out to be Minnie Murphy.
She was dressed in a sexy dress with heavy makeup and was staring at her viciously. Obviously, she did not expect that the person who came in to be Jenna. When she saw that it was Jenna, she clapped her hands, smiled coldly, and looked at her with a mean expression.
"Minnie, how could it be you? What are you doing here?" Jenna blurted out, ignoring her rudeness. She was too surprised. How did Minnie get into Richards Manor?
"Why can't I come here? Don't worry, I didn't come here with your help anyway. Even though you don't want to help me, that doesn't mean that no one wants to help me," she said, looking contemptuous and disdainful.
What did she mean, did she live in Richards Manor now? Listening to her tone, it seemed like she was not just paying a visit here.
Jenna could not help but furrow her eyebrows. She said with a face full of surprise, "Who let you come here?"
Her dark eyebrows furrowed and a suspicious light gleamed from her pitch-black eyes.
Minnie saw through her thoughts. Jenna was looking down on her because she couldn't find a job herself. However, there was actually someone who did want to hire her.
"Let me tell you, I am now Miss Aria's agent and I need to be by her side all year round. That is to say, where Miss Aria goes, I will follow her, okay?" Minnie said proudly, but it made Jenna gasp in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, she would come back to Aria again. She was really naive and ignorant. Aria had let go of her last time so why did she come back again now? She was really looking for her own death now and there was no way to stop her.
"Unexpectedly, you are still so ignorant. She let you go last time but you still want to look for your own death now. Don't blame me for not warning you, because I have warned you, and I have done my duty," Jenna smiled coldly and said disdainfully.
"What duty? To drive me out of Richards Manor? Everyone knows that I was driven out by you. Don't think that I will have nowhere to go if you push me into a dead end. Even if you don't need me, there are still people who need me. Let me tell you, you didn't treat me well before so I won’t treat you any better either," Minnie said coldly. With one of her eyebrows raised, the light in her eyes was so familiar. Jenna sometimes felt like she was looking into a mirror when looking into Minnie's eyes. After all, they are both from the Murphy family, and her gaze was so similar to her father's sometimes. Jenna suddenly felt pain in her heart.
They were cousins!
But why was her heart so cruel and so stupid?
She wanted to get close to Aria and seek her own death. There was no way to stop her, and it could not be stopped.
Thinking of this, Jenna sighed heavily and ignored her and walked inside.
From time to time, laughter came from the living room and she couldn't help but stop.
Georgia's jewelry was all over her body and she looked so noble yet gorgeous. She was sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing with Marissa. From time to time, Jenna could hear them flattering each other.
Jenna felt nauseous instantly, and her whole body felt cold. She just wanted to leave quickly.
Jenna didn't like Aria's mother.
Flowever, she couldn't go now even if she wanted to.
Georgia's eyes were already looking at her. Her face darkened as soon as she saw Jenna and the hostility in her eyes was very obvious.
Marissa also saw Jenna. She looked at Georgia's black face, understood her hostility, and smiled awkwardly.
"Marissa, is this your ex-daughter-in-law?" Georgia's sharp voice, which couldn't be any harsher, went directly into Jenna's ears.
Was she doing it on purpose? Marissa knew it, but she could only smile, not knowing how to answer.
"Marissa, your ex-daughter-in-law is just so-so. She still matches up in terms of looks and temperament but she does not match with Hansen. No wonder Hansen is divorcing her. The difference between them is too big. Hansen is such a talented person, so why would he want such a vulgar woman? They really don't match, right?" Georgia said sarcastically and sneered in a loud voice. Obviously she did it for Jenna's benefit.
Marissa had no choice but to pretend to smile and play along. If she sided with Georgia, she was afraid that her son would blame her when he found out. After all, her son had become more and more fond of Jenna. Just in case her son was determined to marry her, she wouldn't want to offend her daughter-in-law either, because she would not be treated well when she got old. However, if she didn't side with Georgia now, she would make Georgia lose face.
For the first time, Marissa felt that it was not a good thing to provoke two women at the same time.
She chuckled and had to pretend to not know anything. Jenna obviously had heard Georgia's words clearly; they were provoking.
What made her even angrier was that this old woman actually said that she was a vulgar woman. Her pride and self-esteem could not tolerate being humiliated like that. Hence, she immediately got angry, gritted her teeth, thinking that she had better settle the matter politely. However, Georgia continued to speak, "Marissa, I need to clarify first. After Hansen marries Aria, this woman must move out of Richards Manor. Sorry but I only want to protect Aria because this woman likes scheming. Aria is innocent and can’t live under the same roof with such a woman, otherwise Aria will definitely suffer. This matter must be settled, Marissa. Otherwise, I will not agree."
Jenna liked scheming? Aria was innocent? Jenna almost burst into laughter when she heard it, and the fire in her heart had ignited. It was true what they said, like mother, like daughter.
Jenna didn't care about if Georgia was the mayor's wife or a so-called member of high society. She only knew that she was very angry now. If Jenna did not fight back now, she would die of anger.
