Chapter 177


    Hansen smiled coldly, pulled his tie, and pushed him against the wall. Fixing his knee against


    Caleb''s belly, Hansen took out the phone and turned on the recording function.


    "Tell me, who is your boss?" He stared at Caleb with cold eyes and spoke sternly.


    "M- Mr. Richards, I, didn''t..." As soon as Hansen asked, Caleb got so scared that he instantly


    sobered up, and he began to sweat a lot. He was so scared that he felt as if he was going to wet


    himself. This couldn''t be said out loud. If he said it, he would never survive in City A.


    "Okay, I see how it is. You''ll still keep your mouth shut. It seems like you haven''t had enough to


    drink." Hansen sneered as he spoke softly. He then took a ss of already- mixed spirits from the


    table, brought it to Caleb''s mouth and threatened him.


    "Drink, otherwise I will make sure that yourpany shuts down, and of course, let you carry some


    debts that you will never be able to pay off for a lifetime. I can''t wait to see you begging on the


    streets."


    Hansen''s voice was as cold as ice, and his words were full of venom.


    Caleb''s face turned pale. He had heard of Mr. Richards''s tricks before. Numerouspanies like


    his in A City were ruined in Mr. Richard''s hands. In the end, even when the family properties were


    sold off, they still had to carry debts their whole lives.


    "Okay, okay, I''ll drink, I''ll drink." Caleb shivered while taking the ss with both hands. He then


    drank it in one go.


    Hansen looked at him and smiled coldly. He didn''t want to make himpletely drunk, but instead,


    he wanted the man''s consciousness to be increasingly blurred until Caleb told him what he


    wanted to hear.


    "Come on, who''s the big boss behind yourpany? How does yourpany make money?"


    Hansen locked Caleb''s fat chin with his hands while his knee was pressed against his stomach.


    Caleb, who had known nothing but luxury his whole life almost fainted to death from the pain.


    "Mr. Richards... There is really no one. It''s apany I started." Caleb''s consciousness became


    more and more blurred, but thest trace of his senses still lingered in his mind. He spoke vaguely.


    "Huh!" Hansen snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to throw Caleb''s fat body on the sofa, then


    stepped on his stomach a few times. He lowered his head and said viciously, "A leather bag


    company that does not operate. You sell some cigarettes, alcohol, run some casinos, and you dare


    toe into the market? I know what kind of business yourpany does. In fact, there''s not even


    onepany in A City that I don''t know about. y tricks in front of me and you''re digging your


    own grave."


    Hansen had investigated the Shelren Group for a long time. It basically had no economic benefits.


    There were not many employees in thepany. Moreover, Caleb operated several casinos, all of


    which were on the ck market. What was unexpected was that such apany would be listed


    that year.

    Caleb had already invested a lot of money in order to get thepany listed. But to Hansen, who


    was rich and powerful, he would only have to lift a finger and such a smallpany would be


    doomed.


    Of course Caleb knew the pros and cons.


    "Yes, yes, Earl... Mayor McAdams." Hansen''s fierce words continued to pour into Caleb''s ears.


    Caleb slipped out that name unconsciously. He knew that he was done for, and he was not stupid. If


    Hansen was to get his hands on hispany, he bet Earl would nevere forward. Earl would


    soon abandon him and put all the charges on Caleb''s head. In order to keep his mouth shut, he


    would probably send him to prison. He didn''t know where he would end up.


    Furthermore, Earl was preparing to run for mayor or secretary of the municipal partymittee.


    They were lucky if nothing happened to thepany. However, if an ident did happen and their


    company''s reputation was threatened, he would definitely do what he could to save it even though it


    might be cruel.


    At the moment, Caleb was trembling when he said it out loud. Instead of being toyed around by


    Earl, he might as well beg Hansen to let him go. After all, Hansen was just a businessman. He was


    not a big threat to him.


    The corner of Hansen''s mouth lifted up in satisfaction.


    "What does yourpany do for Mayor McAdams?" He asked, seemingly amused.


    "Moneyundering and collecting protection fees. Each of our casinos has to pay him 30% of bonus


    every year..." Caleb spilled the beans on everything.


    Hansen smiled as he put the phone away contentedly. He then let go of his foot that was stepping


    on Caleb and said, "The next time you see me, don''t worry. I will leave you a way out if you obey


    me."


    With that being said, Hansen put on a long coat and strode outside.


    He had long heard that Earl dealt with illegal money. Others didn''t know it, but Hansen was very


    sure of it. Originally, he didn’t want to make this move, but now he must capitalize on Earl’s


    weakness. If Earl wanted to use Aria to threaten him, or ruin the Richards Group, Hansen would not


    let him seed.


    He would do anything for his and Jenna''s happiness.


    The lobby of the Richards Group was dark.


    Hansen called Jenna''s cell phone, but no one answered.


    His heart sank and he sped toward the elevator.


    The number on the elevator increased all the way up. Hansen''s heart was in his throat. This woman


    had not returned to the Richards Group''s mansion, and if she did go back, she would definitely


    know that Aria was pregnant. What would she do then?


    Now, he was particrly concerned about Jenna''s thoughts. He was anxious and he didn''t want her


    to know about it.


    The elevator finally stopped on the 88th floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, he rushed


    out.


    There was a lighting from Jenna''s office. He sighed in relief. He then knocked on the door but


    no one answered, so he hurriedly took out the key and opened the door.


    The light was on in the office but no one was there. He then opened the bedroom door.


    Jenna was lying on the bed and she was asleep.


    She hugged the pillow tightly and she was fast asleep.


    She just slept on the bed, looking lonely and weak. One couldn''t help but feel pity for her.


    The moment Hansen stood at the threshold of the bedroom, he felt pain in his heart, so much so


    that he struggled to catch his breath.


    Leaning against the door with the back of his head on the door frame, his fists were clenched so


    tightly until his knuckles turned white and his eyes felt heavy.


    He couldn''t let Jenna go back to Richards Manor. The matter could not be kept a secret any longer


    although Earl had not spread word about Aria''s pregnancy as he was waiting for histest news.


    However, everyone in Richards Manor already knew about it.


    So if Jenna went back, she would definitely find out about it.


    How long could he hide it even if they didn''t go back?


    What if she knew?


    The thought of her leaving him, her no longer belonging to him from then on, caused a great pain in


    his heart.


    He took a deep breath, sorted out his messy thoughts, and walked in slowly.


    He sat on the bed, staring at her nkly. He caressed her face carefully, and he sighed.


    Jenna slept very well, so well that she only opened her eyes when he grasped her hand.


    Hansen was sitting in front of the bed with a faint smile on his face. The light glinting in his eyes was


    gentle; she was a little dazed.


    "You''re awake," he smiled faintly and asked indulgently.


    "Hansen, you came." She got up, rubbed her eyes, still sleepy as she looked left and right.


    "It''s gettingte. I haven''t eaten yet. Let''s go, I''ll take you to dinner." He smiled softly.


    "No, I''m not hungry." She shook her headzily. It turned out that she had been asleep for so long.


    "No can do." Hansen''s face stretched out. In a reproachful tone, he said, "You''re so skinny. You


    should eat. I don''t like scrawny women."


    He pulled her up.


    Jenna was unwilling to leave thefort of the bed.


    "Hansen, I''m really not hungry. I still want to sleep." She got under the quilt again.


    "If you don''te out, then I will eat you.''1 Hansen smiled gracefully, lifted up the quilt, and dragged


    Jenna out.


    Jenna yawned, her face full of reluctance.


    Hansen smiled dotingly.


    He picked her up, unzipped his jacket, and tucked her into his arms. The jacket was very


    stretchable, and it wrapped around her whole body. He pulled on his coat to cover her.


    "Hansen." Jenna leaned her face against his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her


    legs arched slightly in his coat and she whispered.


    Her voice was very soft, as if it was floating out from her chest. Hansen''s heart twitched as he


    listened.


    "What are you doing, little fairy?" He couldn''t help asking.


    "Hansen, what did you do today?" She asked softly, hiding in his arms and smiling. Her tiny hands


    moved around his waist. She knew that Hansen''s waist was the most ticklish.


    Sure enough, Hansen couldn''t helpughing. He softly pped her butt, then gritted his teeth while


    saying, "You naughty girl, you''re causing trouble again. I will throw you away."


    "No, you won''t be so cruel because you can''t bear it." Jenna grabbed him, giggled, and scratched


    his waist with her little finger. Hansenughed out loud.


    He reached out and hugged her tightly. He then asked bitterly in her ear: "You evil woman, did you


    miss me? Don''t worry, I will take good care of youter."


    Jenna was stunned when she heard it, and she quickly woke up. Only then did she realize that he


    was being serious. Initially she was just fooling around. She didn''t think of anything else.


    She had forgotten that the man in front of her was a beast, and he so greatly wanted to have her.


    She really didn''t have the energy toply with his needs.


    Soon, she obediently stayed still.


    Hansen smiled, feeling pleased.


    In the basement, he opened the Hummer. The back row was a resting space with a soft bed.


    Hansen threw her on the bed and smiled. "Woman, I want you so desperately now. Tell me, what


    should I do?"


    Jenna''s face flushed red, and she looked at him as if she was begging for mercy and said, "Hansen,


    I was teasing you. Let''s not do this, please? I am so tired now."


    Hansen had seen her weakness a long time ago, and he pinched her little nose. He couldn''t bear to


    joke with her anymore. He then put the quilt over her, and said in her ear: "Why don''t we stay in the


    car for a night?"


    "No, I don''t want to." Jenna didn''t want to. She wanted to sleep in that big bed of hers. She wanted


    to sleep soundly like a baby. Sleeping in the car was too ufortable.


    Hansen guessed what she was thinking. He smiled and tucked her in, all the while making sure that


    she wasfortable under the quilt. After that, he walked to the front seat and opened the car door.


    As they drove, they finally found a hotel that she liked.
