Chapter 27


    Early the following morning, Jenna was still in a trance when she went to work at the Richards


    Group.


    She deliberately put on her formal skirt from Richards Group, with her hair in a high bun and light-


    colored high heels. She knew that Hansen liked it when she wore light-colored high heels, it would


    make her beautiful legs look very slender and feminine.


    Her whole body was a fresh sight and beautiful, it made her look like eye candy.


    The office door was slightly opened, and Jenna felt that it was a little strange. She remembered


    clearly that she closed the door when she got off work yesterday.


    She pushed the door open.


    And raised her head.


    What she saw got her stunned at the spot.


    An exquisitely well- dressed woman in her forties with no wrinkles on her face, appeared before her.


    She was wearing a charming light blue dress, and was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper


    elegantly.


    Her every move flowed with grace and sophistication.


    "Mom... Aunt..." Jenna eximed. She never expected that Hansen''s mother, Marissa Sotomayor,


    hade to thepany early in the morning and was now sitting in her office.


    It seemed that she came looking for her.


    Jenna soon came to her senses. "This must not be a small issue if she is here so early," she


    thought in her heart and she felt a chill.


    Jenna could feel that Marissa''s whole body was exuding hatred towards her, even though Marissa


    was just sitting here.


    Marissa had always shown her dissatisfaction and disgust for Jenna on her face. She even didn''t


    bother to cover it up.


    She had always been eager to persecute Jenna. It seemed that the more she hurt Jenna, the


    happier she would be.


    Jenna''s heart felt bitter and ufortable. Of course, now that she had divorced Hansen, she


    didn''t have to act ording to Marissa''s will anymore!


    "Auntie, since you came to my office so early in the morning, you must have something important to


    tell me?" Out of courtesy, Jenna put down the bag in her hand, poured a ss of water, and handed


    it to Marissa with a smile on her face.


    Marissa did not take the ss. She closed the newspaper and looked at Jenna with her sharp eyes.


    She pointed to the sofa opposite her and motioned for Jenna to sit down.


    Jenna sat down calmly as she had nothing to feel guilty for.


    "You two are already divorced," Marissa said word by word as if she was giving Jenna a deliberate


    reminder. Her tone was so cold that it pierced Jenna with a chill that ran down her spine. Jenna


    forced a smile on her face and replied, "I know."


    "Mm, that''s good," Marissa said faintly, and suddenly her tone became harsh, "Since you already


    know, why are you stilling to work at Richards Group? If I remember correctly, there is no one


    in thispany who treats you well, what is your purpose for doing this?"


    "Hmph! At least she indeed has some self-awareness!" Marissa sneered in her heart.


    Jenna''s forceful smile faded and her expression gradually changed. When she spoke again, there


    was already a cold smile on her face. Since Marissa had revealed her motive foring here, there


    was no need for Jenna to pretend anymore.


    "Auntie, I think you should ask your son. He was the one who asked me toe here," Jenna


    replied coldly.


    "Don''t use Hansen on me. He can''t withstand your temptation, but I can. My mind is very clear."


    When she heard Hansen, Marissa''s face no longer had any kindness.


    "Let me tell you, Richards Group is the blood and sweat of Hansen''s father and mine, I will not allow


    anyone to destroy it. If you want to y any tricks, you will have to go through me." Marissa''s face


    was stiff and her words were tense.


    Jenna felt suffocated. The cold air was like frost whistling through the cold wind, one would shiver


    with a chill as soon as one touches it. She took a deep breath and looked at Marissa.


    "Auntie, are you saying that because you have a guilty conscience? Hansen gives me a sry, and


    I''m working for thepany because of the money. There is nothing wrong with that, but all you do


    is think negatively of people. Do you think everyone is as narrow- minded as you?" Jenna retorted


    mercilessly.


    She saw that every crack on Marissa''s delicate face contained her anger. Her face was flushed and


    her eyes were wide open. Marissa shouted, "Jenna, don''t think that the Richards Group will beg you


    just because you know something about car design. Let me tell you, we have plenty of money. We


    don''t care about the money a b*tch like you brings us. Hansen hired you just because you are a


    shallow woman who is greedy for money, you can be rid of with just a little money. But I''m not like


    him, if you want to y tricks, I''ll immediately kick you out."


    "Really?" Jenna could not help butugh out loud in anger. "It seems that Auntie, you are still as


    self-righteous as you used to be. You still think that everyone in the world has to vish to you."


    When Marissa called her a ''b*tch'', that was when she hadpletely crossed the line. Looking at


    her flushed face, Jenna suddenly smiled and said, "Old woman, who are you to call me a b*tch? Do


    you think you are very noble? Do you think you''re smart? Well, Grandma doesn''t like you either. In


    her eyes, you''re also a b*tch. Even Grandma has never treated you as a worthy person, so who are


    you to call me a b*tch?"


    Jenna thought of how unfortunate she was for already suffering so much anger early in the morning.


    It seemed that as Hannah said, she really shouldn''t have gone to work at Richards Group; she was


    looking for trouble upon herself.


    "You..." When Marissa heard what Jenna said to poke at her sore spot, she was so angry that her


    whole body was shaking.


    In this life, who Marissa feared most was Hansen''s grandmother. It was well-known that they were


    not on good terms; they even made the headlines in the past.


    Back then, because of Hansen''s grandmother, she was pped by Trevor Richards. That was the


    only time they argued as husband and wife. Because of that, Marissa did not have a good


    impression of her mother-inw. Jenna picked at her old scars, and the past surfaced in her mind.


    Her face turned livid with anger.


    Jenna was no longer the woman that could be easily bullied like she used to be. She sat there


    quietly, her eyes were as cold and calm as water.


    Marissa was used to being pampered, she had listened only to good words. But when Jenna


    provoked her, she felt like the earth started to spin hastily.


    "Mom, what''s wrong?" A red figure shed in from the door. Aria McAdams rushed over in a hurry.


    Seeing that Marissa wasn''t looking good, she hurriedly squatted beside her and asked with


    concern.


    "Aria." Marissa''s tense face immediately softened when she saw Aria. She pointed at Jenna and


    said angrily, as if she saw her lifesaver, "Aria, it''s good that you''re here. This b*tch had the guts to


    insult


    __ _ ii


    me.


    "Mom, you''re a noble, there''s no need to argue with these kinds of people. Don''t get angry, your


    health is more important. I still want to serve you in the future," Aria hurriedly stroked Marissa''s back


    with her hand and persuaded her in a soft voice. Her face was full of smiles and she was gentle and


    considerate.


    Marissa immediately beamed, "Aria, you''re so sensible and considerate. When I see you, I feel


    much better. By the way, is Hansen here? I want to discuss your marriage with him today."


    "Really?" Aria''s face shone brightly. She looked very surprised and her eyes were shining.


    "Of course, it''s Hansen''s blessing to marry such a virtuous and considerate wife!" Marissa took


    Aria''s hand with love, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile. She looked at Jenna, who was


    sitting there indifferently, and her face darkened again.


    Jenna really couldn''t sit any longer. She stood up and was ready to leave.


    "Wait, Jenna," Aria was trying her best to please Marissa. When she saw Jenna was about to leave,


    she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Jenna, how dare you offend the president''s mother. You''re


    just a staff in thepany, how dare you be so rude. That''s too much, I''m now officially


    commanding you as Vice President, that you apologize to Mother."


    Aria shouted harshly, her eyes were aggressive.


    Apologize? Jenna found it ridiculous. She didn''t do anything. She was insulted by Marissa as soon


    as she returned to the office, now Aria actually asked her to apologize. Did she really think that she


    a pushover?


    "Why should I apologize? This is now my office, but you were the ones who came in here and


    caused a scene. Now you want me to apologize? Isn''t that ridiculous?" Jenna turned back with a


    face full of ridicule.


    "How dare you! Jenna, you are too rude. Don''t assume that with Hansen behind you, you can do


    whatever you want in thepany. You are so insolent that you don''t even respect Hansen''s


    mother." Aria''s eyes shed with a sharp light. She deliberately emphasized Marissa''s role as an


    elder, which enraged Marissa again.


    "Aria, don''t abuse your authority however you want. Let me tell you, I didn''t do anything wrong, and


    I will never apologize," Jenna stood still and said it loud and clear.


    Jenna wanted to see what Aria could do to her.


    "Oh wow, how dare you disobey the Vice President''s orders?" Aria sneered and picked up her


    phone, "Security? I''m Ms. McAdams. Come and drag away a disobedient employee over here."


    After saying that, she smiled sinisterly and looked at Jenna gloatingly. Then she walked up to


    Marissa with a charming smile on her face and said, "Mother, don''t be mad. I''ll deal with this b*tch


    for youter."


    Marissa felt relieved, showing a satisfied smile on her face. After a while, two security guards


    arrived.


    "Ms. McAdams, what can we do for you?" The security guards asked respectfully.


    "Get this woman out of here. Not only did she not obey orders, she even had the guts to insult Mr.


    Richards''s mother. She''s outrageous," Aria ordered angrily.


    "Yes," the two security guards answered. When they saw Jenna standing in front of them, they were


    stunned for a moment. This was the new designer thepany hired at a high price who was also


    the head of department for the new design department. They didn''t dare to drive her away. What if


    Mr. Richards med them?


    "Why are you standing there? Hurry up!" Aria shouted, "What are you afraid of? Mr. Richards''


    mother is here. Do you think Mr. Richards would go against his mother?"


    When the two security guards heard that Mr. Richards''s mother was also there, they had no choice


    but to walk toward Jenna and said as they were ordered to, "Miss, please go out. We don''t want to


    make things difficult for you."


    Jenna looked at Aria who was proud of herself, and then Marissa who was staring at her


    indifferently. Suddenly, Jenna wanted tough.


    Did she really want to stay in this ce?


    But she couldn''t leave, at least not for the time being.


    "Who are you to ask me to leave? Ask Hansen toe. If he tells me to leave, I''ll immediately do


    so," Jenna stood still and said coldly. "Quick, get her out of here," Aria was almost screaming. At


    this time, there were a lot of staff gathering in the corridor and watching this scene not knowing what


    was happening.


    The two security guards could only walk up to her and were about to drag Jenna away.

    "Stop, what''s going on here?" Hansen, who rushed over after hearing the news, shouted in a deep


    voice. The man''s voice was full of anger.


    When Marissa saw her soning over, she could finally let out her anger. She walked up to Jenna


    and pointed at her as she said, "Hansen, it''s good that you''re here. I will show you this woman''s true


    colors today. She had the audacity to call me a b*tch. I have lived to this age and I have never been


    insulted like this before. You have to bring justice for me."


    "Hansen, it''s true. This woman had the guts to insult Mother. Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise,


    she might even do something dangerous," Aria immediately ran up andined to Hansen with


    a delicate look on her face.


    Jenna looked at them coldly.


    Hansen had never believed her, so she didn''t feel the need to exin.


    If Hansen took this opportunity to drive her away, she would ask for the two Pagani luxury cars that


    he promised her.


    Although the two cars were expensive, they were not very valuable. As long as Hansen was willing,


    it would be a piece of cake for him to give them to her!


    Jenna was ready to leave. In fact, she didn''t want to "Mother, this is an office, you used to be the


    leader of thispany. You should tell me if you want toe here. It''s not going to look good if


    you cause a nuisance in a staff office!" Hansen pushed Aria away with his hand and walked to


    Marissa with a helpless look on his face.


    "Hansen, are you ming me?" Marissa was unhappy when she heard what her son said. With a


    cold look on her face, she stuffed the newspaper into Hansen''s hand and said angrily, "Look, what''s


    on this? If it wasn''t because of these bad rumors, I wouldn''t have rushed here in such a hurry. I was


    just worried about you and thepany."


    Marissa breathed heavily and red at Jenna with anger.


    Hansen suspiciously opened the newspaper. What he saw turned his face livid.


    On the headlines of the entertainment news.


    It was a picture of Rayan Whalen holding Jenna in his arms intimately.


    A handsome Rayan, looking down at the woman next to him with affection, with his arms on her


    shoulder, as if he was afraid that she would get hurt.


    The woman''s delicate body was almost enclosed in his arms, and she even had a happy and sweet


    smile on her face.


    Behind them was Gently Cafeteria.


    Hansen''s eyes were burning with anger and blue veins popped out of his forehead. He threw the


    newspaper in front of Jenna fiercely, his eyes were as sharp as lightning.


    Jenna looked down and was stunned!


    Her picture with Rayan was so eye-catching that her face turned red in an instant. Only then did she


    know what Marissa was reading in the newspaper when she first entered the office.


    Jenna then remembered that when Rayan followed her out of the cafest night, there were a lot of


    people in there. Rayan was worried that Jenna would be bumped into, so he protected her with his


    tall body deliberately. At that time, Jenna only felt a sh of white light, but she didn''t think much


    about it. Now that she thought of it, it must be someone who secretly took photos of them.


    The huge red title on the front page of the entertainment news was written clearly, "The richest


    businessman in the world, Rayan Whalen, and Hansen Richards'' ex- wife, Jenna Murphy were


    holding each other intimately."


    Jenna suddenly felt dizzy. All of her strength was used up during the argument before. She chose to


    close her eyes and didn''t want to bother herself with this news.
