Chapter 223


    "That would be great." Sabrina happily apuded as she stared at Jenna. "How about it, Jenna? I


    told you so."


    Jenna smiled.


    Sabrina had a captivating gaze, glistening with traces of innocence, and her smile was pure


    happiness. It was unlike Jenna''s smile, which had different meanings behind it.


    After Hansen and Christopher left, Jenna and Sabrina brought forward the idea. Just as Meroy


    predicted, Vivian immediately agreed and promised to give them 20 million dors to organize this


    annual banquet. Vivian wanted the event to be as lively and festive as possible.


    Jenna and Sabrina were shocked by her immediate response.


    They couldn''t grasp Vivian''s thoughts. Even when it was her nieth birthday, the family was not


    allowed to publicize it. It was a surprise that she would invest so much in such amon annual


    banquet.


    But now that she agreed and was willing to hold such a banquet, Jenna couldn''t say much.


    Soon, the news that Jenna was organizing a New Year banquet spread throughout Richards Manor


    and the entire manor was filled with excitement. The quiet garden instantly came to life.


    Jenna soon felt the mor of being a master.


    The servants rushed to her and paid their respects to her. They wanted to get some work and


    benefits from her.


    What was the meaning of holding an annual banquet with 20 million dors, making sure it was


    festive and joyous?


    It felt like buying happiness, spending money in a unique way.


    Therefore, this opportunity to make a fortune was the envy of many, including corporations that


    used to earn money through Richards Manor. Every one of them was finding ways to get close to


    Jenna.


    Jenna was in a position of power, beaming with pride. Her reputation instantly skyrocketed.


    However, she was unaffected. She was neither humble nor proud and did not get close to anyone.


    She knew that all of this did not belong to her.


    The head office of the manor was located in Ink Garden, where Jenna worked every morning.


    After thinking about it for a long time, she nned to set up the banquet on the central ind. She


    was nning to decorate the ce as a mysterious plum blossoms garden, along with a plethora of


    delicious delicacies. She nned to set a stage up and invited famous singers and celebrities.


    Because of the cold weather, they needed tents. There was an observatory in the center of


    Richards Manor, which was blessed with a gorgeous view of A city. Standing here at night, they


    could see the whole city glistening with stars along with the jaw-dropping ind view.


    Jenna was the one who thought of this design.


    Sabrina practically shadowed Jenna. She followed her every day and everywhere, constantly


    making suggestions. She vowed that they would hold the best annual banquet ever.


    This day, she sat on the hanging rattan chair on a balcony, browsing all sorts of delicacies. She was


    swinging her feet, contented.


    This hanging rattan chair was her favorite spot, where there was a thick plush quilt, keeping her


    warm against the chilling wind outside.


    Jenna was afraid of the cold, therefore she sat in the office and worked inside instead.

    "Norton, you''re here." Suddenly, Sabrina''s surprise cry came from the corridor.


    Jenna was stunned and raised her head.


    "Sabrina, are youfortable living here?" Norton approached, smiling, and said softly, "How is


    your father?"


    "He''s fine. Thank you for asking." Sabrina''s face was painted with a tint of pink. Her expression


    softened, left with just a small smile hanging on her face, her eyes glistening.


    "That''s good. Hey, Sabrina, I initially nned to visit your father before New Year but too many


    things got in the way. Since you''re here, just have fun. I will take you out someday," Norton said


    gently.


    "Okay," Sabrina replied while fidgeting with her hands, her head lowered.


    Norton''s eyes flickered behind his lenses but there was a warm smile on his face and his eyes


    nced into the room from time to time.


    "What is Grandma doing?" he asked casually.


    "Grandma has been having chest difort these two days but she is resting," Sabrina replied with


    a smile, gaze soft and gentle.


    "Then, everything is fine, right?" Norton looked a little nervous and asked with concern.


    "It shouldn''t be a big problem. Meroy is an experienced doctor and she is looking into it," Sabrina


    smiled and replied.


    "Okay, that''s good." Norton breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.


    "Aren''t you going in to see Grandma?" Sabrina asked with wide eyes as she suddenly raised her


    head.


    "I think it''s best to not disturb her," Norton hesitated before he said gently. After a moment of


    hesitation, he said seriously, "Sabrina, I have something to ask you. Can we talk in private?"


    "Okay," Sabrina agreed enthusiastically.


    Norton turned around and walked outside, Sabrina followed behind closely. Both of them walked at


    a steady pace.


    Jenna pulled the curtains open to watch them.


    From the outside, they looked perfect for each other. One petite and exquisite, the other tall and


    muscr; a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were really a match made in heaven.


    It was just that Sabrina was kind but Jenna wouldn''t say the same thing about Norton. Would he


    cherish this marriage?


    Jenna sighed.


    Based on her instincts, Norton approached Sabrina not to flirt with her. What would it be?


    Sabrina was simple-minded but Norton was deceitful. If Norton had any bad intentions, Sabrina


    would not be able to know.


    Thinking of this, Jenna felt uneasy.


    After a while, Sabrina came over and Norton left.


    There was still a faint blush on her cheeks. She was smiling as if she''d seen her Prince Charming.


    "Sabrina, who was that?" Jenna asked, looking at the ount book, acting casual.


    "It was Norton, Jenna." Sabrina was an open book and the corners of her lips curled up with


    tenderness.


    "Oh, Norton. It''s about time for him toe see you too," Jenna said calmly. "You''ve been at the


    manor for many days, you probably haven''t seen him yet."


    "Yes, Norton is very busy." Sabrina pouted her lips and said, "However, he said that he will make


    time to bring me to the movies soon."


    "That''s great." Jennaughed and raised her head. "Was this all he said to you?"


    "Yeah." Sabrina nodded.


    "Sweet. He purposely came to the manor to ask you out. He seems to really like you. You will be


    very happy." Jenna saw how shy Sabrina was and teased her.


    "No, he just came over to ask about my father''s situation. He wants to contact my father!" Sabrina


    was so excited that her face turned red and she hurriedly defended.


    Norton was looking for General Delia? Jenna''s heart skipped a beat.


    Sure enough, Norton did note here to find Sabrina but to ask about her father.


    What did he want to see General Delia for?


    In just a short while, Jenna had a bad feeling.


    She hesitated but in the end, she just shook her head and smiled. "Norton usually doesn''t visit you


    but now he decides to see you. I bet he is trying to please the old man. Do teach him a lesson to not


    be so impolite next time. He needs to know how to respect you."


    A slight frustration shed across Sabrina''s face but was soon covered by a sweet smile.


    In fact, she knew that in recent years, Norton was ignorant of her family. Other than visiting her


    father for Vivian''s sake during the holidays, they barely kept in contact.


    However, she never thought much about it.


    After all, everyone was busy!


    On the vast golf course.


    Hansen, who was wearing a sweatshirt, took a deep breath, straightened his arms, and bent his


    legs slightly. He held the club and aimed before swinging. With a muffled "bang", the ball shot out


    and quickly fell into the hole.


    His posture was very elegant and graceful.


    "Whoa, nice swing!" Christopher stood on the side watching how perfect Hansen''s posture was and


    how urate his shot was. He seemed impressed. He liked golf but would never be able to strike


    as good as Hansen, let alone maintain such a perfect posture as his.


    This has be a pain in the a*s to Christopher. If it came to their skillsets, he had to spend more


    time practicing than him.


    Hansen was naturally talented. No matter what he did, it was perfect. This was what Christopher


    envied him for. It was for his talents in so many aspects that he has high self-esteem.


    But this time when he came over, Christopher unexpectedly discovered that Norton seemed to be


    more low-profile. He seemed calmer. He no longer had that aggressive look in his eyes and the


    signature smirk on his face. Christopher even saw a rare touch of tenderness and sadness in his


    eyes.


    From this, Christopher was determined that Hansen was having trouble with Jenna! Perhaps, he


    was going through something.


    Christopher swung the club and struck out the ball. Goal.


    "Christopher, I''m sure you didn''te to A City just to y golf with me?" Hansen asked faintly


    after striking another ball.


    Christopher held the club with his eyes slightly narrowed. After striking the ball steadily, he took a


    breath and smiled. "I heard that Jenna is going to hold a special annual banquet in the Richards


    Manor. It is such a rare opportunity. I don''t want to miss it, hence I decided to stay for New Year."


    New Year? Hansen nced at him and mocked, "Come on, our manor is no ce for someone high


    and mighty like you. Don''t talk nonsense with me. Get to the point. I''m busy."


    What he said was true.


    Since Jenna resigned, work has been piling up. In the past few days, he had to work until the wee


    hours every night. Sometimes, he found himself sleeping in the office till the next day.


    For him to spare time to apany Christopher showed a lot.
