Chapter 159
Jenna just drank a few sips of soup during dinner. She really didn''t have much of an appetite.
Aria was also at home, and her appetite was not very good either. She had just eaten a little bit
before she said she was ufortable and went to sit on the sofa and close her eyes to rest.
Marissa was very nervous with her, and came to take care of her. She asked Aria warmly, "Aria,
your appetite has not been good recently, and yourplexion looks bad too. Are you exhausted
from work? Or, let Hansen apany you tomorrow to the hospital and have a check to see if you
are sick."
Aria smiled obediently at Marissa, and said shyly, "Mom, it''s okay, it''s nothing big. Maybe it''s too
cold these few days and I have the flu."
Marissa became more nervous when she heard that, and said sternly, "You are Mayor McAdams'' s
daughter. If something happens to you in Richards Manor, we will be med for not taking good
care of you. Please let Hansen apany you to the hospital tomorrow and see the doctor."
As she said this, Marissa immediately turned her head to Hansen and said, "Hansen, Aria looks
very ufortable. Please take her to the hospital tomorrow."
Hansen''s head was full of Jenna''s pale face. Seeing that she was tired, he understood her feelings
now too. He was going to apany her to rest upstairs after dinner when Marissa said this, which
made him frown.
What happened to Aria? He had nned to apany Jenna to the hospital to visit Sara the next
day.
After all, she had just finished the operation. The day before, the director of the hospital told him to
find several imported medicines if he wanted to improve Sara''s condition after the operation. Those
kinds of medicines were difficult to get, so he was nning to figure out a way to do so the next day
too.
So he said immediately, "Mom, I have something important to do tomorrow. Can you send Larry to
apany her?"
When Aria heard it, her nose sniffed. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but she soon put on a
sweet smile, and said timidly to Marissa, "Mom, I''m still young and healthy. I''m really fine, so there''s
no need to bother Hansen since he is busy,"
Marissa heard Hansen''s words and felt that he was too ignorant. He only cared about Jenna now
and treated Aria very badly. Okay, that was fine, but now Aria was ufortable and yet he still did
not want to apany her to the hospital. If Mayor McAdams knew about it, he would be so
heartbroken. Besides, if something happened to Aria in Richards Manor, they would surely be
med.
Marissa raised her head and was about to stop Hansen, but she saw that he was already going
upstairs, holding Jenna''s hand. She could only shake her head and give a bitter smile. Shefort
Aria, "Aria, if Hansen is busy, then forget it. Don''t worry, I will go with you."
Aria widened her big eyes with tears and said thankfully, "Mom, thank you. You are so kind to me!"
After speaking, she stood up and ran to Marissa and wrapped her arms around Marissa''s neck then
whispered sweetly, "Mom".
Marissa smiled brightly the next second.
The night was shrouded in unfathomable darkness.
"Paul, how is the case I entrusted to you?" Jenna picked up the phone while Hansen went to the
shower, and asked in a low voice.
"Miss, this case is very tricky. We have not even acquired the proof and witnesses yet, so it is really
difficult to find out. However, now I have found out that several groups of people are investigating
this case. Someday, the truth will definitelye to light. Don''t worry," Paul replied.
Several groups of people were investigating the case? Jenna was taken aback and asked
anxiously, "Then do you know who it is?"
Paul was silent for a while, and he said, "Miss, there is good news right now. It is said that the
Public Security Department has officially appointed Jordan Yates as the team leader to investigate
your dad''s case. You can have hope in him. It is said that this is all thanks to Hansen''s efforts."
Hansen? When Jenna heard the name, her heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Murphy, ording to my investigation, this case must have something to do with the Richards
family. Hansen is currently actively investigating the case and has secretly engaged Brock. One of
Hansen''s men, Alvin, was injured. The gunshots in the Hilton Hotel a few days ago were rted to
this case too, so Miss Murphy, this case is tooplicated, and my ability is limited. I am afraid that
I can'' t continue the investigation anymore," Paul said helplessly on the phone. Even though Jenna
offered him a lot of money, he really didn''t have the ability to do it.
Jenna was stunned for a moment. Paul was the most well-known private detective introduced to her
by Hannah, and if he was powerless in investigating this case, one could only imagine how
complicated the matter was.
"Miss Murphy, there are too many people involved in this case but with Mr. Hansen as your backing,
I think the truth will definitelye to light one day. However, I advise you not to take everything
seriously, and do not take any action without a second thought, as it will be very dangerous for you."
Paul hung up the phone after giving her the final advice.
Jenna stood there in a trance. She did not notice it either when Hansen walked out of the shower.
"What are you thinking about?" Hansen walked out and saw that Jenna was standing there in a
daze in the bedroom. His heart sank, then he asked softly.
After a long time, Jenna fixed her gaze on Hansen and asked, confused.
"Hansen, tell me, will my father''s case ever be solved?" Her small face was full of expectation and
grief, but her eyes were hollow.
Hansen''s heart sank. After a while, he sighed lightly, then he took Jenna''s hand and said softly,
"Jenna, do you still remember my promise to you? I said I would give you an answer that satisfies
you. No matter who hurt your dad, I will definitely see that he is severely punished by thew, but
this matter is veryplicated. It cannot be clearly solved in one or two sentences. Not to mention
that the murderer is difficult to catch, so we need more time. Trust me, okay?"
His tone was gentle. His gaze at Jenna was doting, but his words were firm.
Jenna looked at Hansen''s tender and considerate eyes and nodded uncontrobly.
"Remember, in the future, as long as you work and manage the Richards Group well, you are
already saving me from those unnecessary worries. You can leave the rest to me. I am your man so
I will handle all of it." After saying that, he took her into his arms. He stroked her hair and said
earnestly, "Jenna, don''t worry. I will do what I promised you. Just follow my n in the future.
At this point, Jenna also knew that it was impossible for her to learn the truth about her father by her
own ability so she could only put her hopes in Hansen.
She nodded tearfully.
Sara''s operation ended very well. As long as they took good care of her, recovery would not be a
problem at all for Sara. That brought hope to Jenna and let her believe that as long as Hansen was
there, everything would be better. Her mood instantly became a lot better.
In the evening, Jenna and Hansen returned to Richards Manor as usual.
The living room of Green Jade Garden was dazzling with a giant chandelier, and the whole living
room was brightly illuminated.
Jenna could already feel a strange feeling before she even walked in. Her heart slowly became
uneasy and nervous.
Fortunately, Hansen was holding her hand tightly, whichforted her anxious feelings a lot.
Theughter in the living room was very cheerful and harmonious. It could even be heard from a
long distance away. When Hansen walked in with Jenna, Marissa wasughing happily with her
mouth wide open while holding Aria''s hand. She even ordered Dahlia to bring a soft nket over.
Aria was blushing and smiling heartily.
However, the atmosphere felt too weird for them.
"Hansen," Upon seeing Hansen''s tall figure walk in, Aria blushed and immediately called him shyly.
Aria''s smiling face was like a needle piercing Jenna''s heart. She was not only smiling, but Jenna
also could see a hint of joy and shyness in that smile.
Her whole body was wrapped in the soft nket. She literally looked just like a protected porcin
doll.
Jenna felt that she couldn''t stay in the living room anymore. The atmosphere here made her very
ufortable. Fortunately, she had already had her favourite meal outside. So she decided to
greet Marissa politely and she turned to walk upstairs quickly. Her intuition told her that a bad thing
was about to happen here anytime soon.
That feeling was very bad.
Hansen also politely greeted Marissa, and was about to follow Jenna upstairs to rest. He was
indeed mentally tired these days and just wanted to have a good sleep that night.
"Hansen, don''t go up yet. I have something to tell you," Marissa, who wasughing happily just now,
saw that Hansen was treating Aria coldly and was about to walk upstairs, so she hurriedly stopped
him.
What happened that day must be told to him.
Although Marissa''s tone was not very harsh, it was very solemn, and Hansen had to stop.
"Hansen,e and sit down. I have something to say," Marissa waved at him and added.

Hansen frowned. He looked at Jenna''s back who had already walked upstairs. He turned his head
again, and walked back to the living room.
He was apparently not in a good mood, and there was a hint of impatience in his ck eyes.
Marissa''s face became tense and she started staring at him without saying a word.
"Mom, since you have something to discuss with Hansen, then I''ll go back to my room first." Aria
looked at their faces, and felt quite uneasy too. Hence, she stood up considerably and spoke softly,
since she was a clever and sensible woman.
Marissa nodded toward her with love in her eyes, and said with full affection, "Aria, you can go and
rest first, and remember to tell me what you want to eat. If you need anything, just ask Larry for it. If
they can''t get it in the country, I will book a private jet to go abroad to buy it for you."
"Okay mom, thank you for your concern." Aria smiled sweetly and waved her hands toward Marissa
and Hansen. She said, "Mom, Hansen, good night."
"Okay, keep yourself warm and don''t catch a cold!" Marissa told her again.
"Mom, don''t worry about me, I will take care of myself," Aria turned her head and said softly.
Marissa then nodded in satisfaction.
Hansen was confused by their conversation. Only then did he feel that Marissa''s concern for Aria
seemed a little weird. As for what was wrong, he couldn''t figure it out.
"You all can go to rest now," After Aria left with a smile, Marissa said to the servant in the living
room too.
Then all the servants also left.
Soon, only Marissa and her son were left in the living room.
