Chapter 43
"B*tch, tell me. Did you plan the incident so that you could save my son and gain his sympathy? You are trying to gain his attention, aren't you?" Marissa asked fiercely.
"No, Auntie, I didn't." Jenna looked at Marissa's evil eyes and felt helpless. Taking into consideration how Hansen took care of her these few days, she referred to Marissa as "Auntie".
However, in Marissa's opinion, Jenna was pretending to be friendly and trying to seduce Hansen. Marisa could feel the love Jenna bore for her son. She thought that Jenna was eyeing the Richards family fortune, and that was why she would not let Hansen go easily. She would try to seduce him with all her means.
She couldn't stand by and watch this happen. She must stop it.
"B*tch, stop giving excuses. I know what you want to do. I won't let you succeed." Marissa had no expression on her face. She felt that Jenna was disgusting for pestering her son.
"Mom, she took a fancy to the status and wealth of the Richards family. She pestered Hansen and wouldn't let go. What should I do?" Aria said sadly, holding Marissa in her arms. "Now Hansen won't even talk to me. I haven't seen him for many days."
Aria looked at Jenna with bitter hatred. Her eyes were fixed on Jenna and were about to burst into flames.
She had not seen Hansen ever since the news on TV came out a few days ago. Even when she saw him in the company, he was in a hurry and dealt with her only perfunctorily.
Last night when she called him, he even refused her stiffly. It was hard for her to swallow this anger. She went to the Richards Mansion early morning with an excuse to discuss the Camphor Tree Villa.
She then changed the topic and provoked Marissa into feeling angry. Marissa had long disliked Jenna, so she was triggered into rushing to the hospital with Aria.
Jenna could clearly feel Aria's intentions. However, she really did not want to waste time arguing with her.
"Mom, it's not that I can't tolerate her. It's just that this woman is really hateful. She is just so scheming and evil. Look at Dad. He is still lying in the hospital..." Aria pretended to be generous, but her words were straight to the point.
She deliberately mentioned the words, "Dad is lying in the hospital." Sure enough, it triggered something within Marissa. Her expression turned ugly and the anger within her began to soar.
Jenna clearly heard this sentence and her nerves instantly tightened. The image of the luxurious ward flashed across her mind and her whole body trembled.
"Could it be that the person who lives in that ward is Uncle Richards?" She thought to herself. Her face turned even paler as she was completely stunned. Three years ago, Jenna saw Trevor Richards fainting in front of her with her own eyes. At that time, she was scared out of her wits.
After that, Hansen appeared in front of her with a livid face and his furious eyes while Marissa grabbed her crazily.
At that time, she had been scared witless. She didn't know what to do!
Since then, three years had passed. She had never seen Trevor again. She didn't know which hospital he lived in and didn't dare to ask. She tried to forget the terrible scene that day and didn't want to remember it any longer.
It was not until she saw the ward yesterday and heard the nurses' words that she was reminded of this scene.
Now that she had heard what Aria said, she finally understood where that feeling came from.
Marissa was so angry that her head was buzzing because of Aria's words. She was reminded that her husband was lying on the hospital bed because of Jenna. Now, her son was even entangled with her. She no longer could control her anger and she lost her mind. She raised her hand and was about to slap Jenna's face.
Jenna's eyes were blurred and she was in a trance. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Just as Marissa's palm was about to hit Jenna's face, a strong hand quickly reached out and grabbed her hand. Hansen shouted angrily while he took hold of her hand with an ugly expression.
"Hansen, you're here," Aria said with her face full of surprise. When she saw that Hansen was holding breakfast in one hand, and Marissa's hand in the other, the joy in her heart subsided. Her face was as pale as ashes.
Sure enough, not only did Hansen take care of this woman in person, he even stood up for her.
Jenna deliberately blocked the knife for him, and that really touched him. He took care of her in person for a few days. When she called him, he just showed his impatience.
Since when did Hansen take care of a woman in person?
She was stunned and was burning with jealousy. She glanced at the weak woman sitting on the bed and said unwillingly, "Hansen, this woman is very scheming. She deliberately set up a trap to pretend to save you. Don't be deceived by her."
"Shut up." The anger on Hansen's face became more obvious. He shouted angrily and asked Aria, "Do you have any evidence that she set up this trap on purpose? Without evidence, you are merely gossiping here. When did you become such a woman?"
There was a loud boom in Aria's head, and she almost couldn't stand straight!
"Hansen, you've been blinded by her. You're actually speaking up for this woman. When did this happen?" Marissa broke free from Hansen's grip and cried out bitterly, flashing a look of regret.
"Mom, why are you here?" Hansen was already very impatient. "You are a noble lady. How could you be so illogical? You saw it on TV that day. Jenna saved me at that time. It it weren't for her, the person lying on the bed now would have been me. She saved me, so I took care of her. It's just natural. Do you want the public to think that the Richards family are so heartless?"
Marissa was shocked for a moment, but she soon sobered up. Her face relaxed and she realized that she had been too impulsive just now.
However, she just couldn't believe that Jenna would risk her own life to save Hansen. As Aria said, she must have an ulterior motive, but it hadn't been discovered for the time being.
She snorted coldly and rebuked, "Hansen, I came here today not only for her, but also for your father. This woman is not a good woman. You are going to marry Aria. I hope you will stop seeing her to avoid gossip. Besides, even if she saved you, you can give her money or hire someone to take care of her. You don't need to take care of her personally!"
"That's right, Hansen. Since she saved you, just give her money. Isn't she fond of money? You can even ask me to take care of her. I will treat the person who saved my husband well." Hearing Marissa's words, Aria understood and hurriedly carried on.
"That's enough. It's good enough if you don't cause trouble for me. You don't need to interfere with my matters. There's nothing else here, please leave now." Hansen was stubborn like a bull, and he was very annoyed.
"And you, don't involve my mother for no reason in the future. If you have that much free time, do something in the company." Hansen turned his face to Aria again. "Didn't you used to say that you were planning to further yourself in the entertainment circle? Go ahead. I'll call Director Cook later. He'll definitely make you famous."
At this point, Hansen had already ordered them to leave.
Marissa could not believe how his son's attitude towards Jenna had changed so much. Several days ago, whenever Jenna was mentioned, his face was crammed full with disgust and impatience. But now, his attitude toward her had changed dramatically. Not only did she not see any trace of malice, but she could even see a hint of pity in his eyes.
Was everything about to change?
Marissa left the hospital and she was very upset.
Mr. Chilton, the driver, had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
Aria was even more furious. What did Hansen mean by agreeing to let her develop herself in the entertainment circle?
In the past, she occasionally mentioned it in front of Hansen. She loved performing since she was a child, but her father didn't want her to be a public figure. He only hoped that she could find a good husband to marry. After she met Hansen, she had given up on this idea. However, she had only mentioned it in front of Hansen once. At that time, Hansen didn't say anything and just said that he would think about it carefully.
But today, he actually mentioned it in front of everyone.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Did this mean that he loved her or was he trying to let her go?
Aria couldn't figure it out. She was feeling uneasy. She felt that everything had taken a turn for the worse, especially after Jenna appeared.
When she thought that she could lose Hansen, the best marriage partner in A city, she was irritated.
So what if she became famous in the entertainment world? In the end, her hope was to marry someone as handsome and rich as Hansen.
If she lost him, what could she do even if she became famous worldwide?
"No, I can't lose Hansen!" she screamed in her mind.
She had poured so much effort into him. How could that woman snatch him away easily without doing anything?
It was impossible!
Aria drove with her teeth chattering. She had done so much, but he still turned his attention to Jenna. How could she let it go?
She was in a foul mood.
"My mother cares too much about my father. Don't worry too much, she was too impulsive today." Hansen looked at Jenna's pale face and explained with guilt. Fortunately, he came back in time and prevented his mother from hurting her. Otherwise, he would really be uneasy. After all, Jenna was injured because of him. His mother had slapped her a few years ago. At that time, he stood aside, but he could not stop her in time. In fact, whenever he thought of the scene that day, he felt guilty. There was no way that he could tolerate such a thing again today.
Jenna's eyes were empty as she shook her head, "Hansen, I'm fine."
"That's good. Let's have breakfast first, I'm going back to the company later. I have to deal with the press conference. The doctor said that you should stay in the hospital for two more days for further observation. Rest in the hospital. If you're bored, go down and take a walk. I'll come back when I have time," Hansen said gently and left in a hurry afterwards.
