Chapter 224
"You haven''t changed much since Ist saw you. No wonder Jenna is mad at you." Christopher
picked up the club as he kept talking.
"What do you mean?" These words hit the nail in Hansen''s head. Holding the club, his face twisted
in anger as if he was about to hit Christopher with it.
Christopherughed, afraid that he might actually hit him on the head. It looks like Hansen really
wasn''t in the mood to joke around. A look of sarcasm appeared on Christopher''s face. "Hansen, I
didn''t expect you to be so triggered. You still haven''t grown when ites to rtionships."
"Don''t taunt me!" Hansen''s face was a little red and he raised the club in his hand, wishing to hit the
guy in front of him.
If it weren''t to go along with him, Hansen would have dealt with the matter long ago. He would have
caught that d*mn Brock. Maybe, Aria''s pregnancy wouldn''t have happened.
"Okay, I surrender." Christopher knew the temper Hansen had and immediately raised his hands in
surrender.
"Say what you have to say. Don''t anger me." Hansen put down his club and hit the ball.
The ball went straight into the hole.
Christopher gasped.
Hansen seemed like he was really in a bad mood.
Christopher grinned. He heard rumors from the servants in the manor the night before that the
current Young Madam was in charge and she even managed to order Hansen around. Not only did
she kick him and Aria out of the rooms, but she also threw out all his clothes. Even so, he dared not
say anything.
Unexpectedly, Hansen has found his nemesis.
But then again, he got a woman pregnant and was living in the same house with her. This wasn''t
intimacy; it was adultery at its finest.
Staring at Hansen''s exasperated look, Christopher shook his head.
"Hansen, when have you be so easily angered?" Christopher chuckled.
Hearing Christopher''s remark, Hansen''s face turned red. He reached out to grab Christopher’s
cor and asked bitterly, "Tell me, what is the n? Don’t let me wait any longer. Otherwise, I will
get Brock myself."
"Hey, don''t worry." Christopher broke off Hansen''s grip and smiled. "I''m here, am I not? We can
discuss it. Don''t worry, things will be over soon."
Christopher grabbed Hansen''s arm and walked outside. "Well, I''m not interested in ying
anymore. Let''s go grab a drink."
In the warm and cozy booth.
The scarlet liquid swirled gently in the red wine ss, filling their nostrils with an intoxicating aroma.
"Hansen, we took down a drug den and found several more. I have given orders to close all of them
overnight but it will take some time topletely get rid of all of them. However, you can rest
assured that this won''t take long. Brock may have heard the news and he''s hiding. Don’ t worry, I
will need your assistance when the timees," Christopher filled Hansen''s ss with wine as he
exined.
Hansen snorted and mocked, "I knew that you will not find me for nothing. I''d like to remind you that
my deputies found this den. With just this, you should be grateful."
Christopher gently shook his ss, handed it to Hansen gracefully, and chuckled. "Come on friend,
cheers to you. Thank you for your help."
After toasting to each other, they held the ss to their lips and chucked the drink.
Hansen looked at the wine in his ss, the light in his eyes was dark and deep. He slowly took a sip
before saying in a cold tone, "Mr. Matthews, I understand that you want political achievements but
Javon''s case must be solved fast. Otherwise, Jenna''s misunderstanding towards me will grow."
Christopher pondered and said seriously, "Hansen, do you know why Norton was released on bail?
Who bailed him? Things are not as simple as you think. Now that the higher ranks intend to remove
corruption, this may be an opportunity. Maybe you will need my help then."
Christopher''s words held a hidden message. He took a deep breath on his cigarette before
exhaling. Smoke was all around him. Hansen raised his confused eyes and looked at him.
What did he mean?
Politicians had never been straightforward but Hansen still asked, "What exactly do you know?"
Christopher picked up a piece of pigeon meat from the dining table, chewed it, and spat it out. He
looked at the meat, shook his head, and said, "Hansen, I really don''t know anything but I feel that
there is more than meets the eye. Therefore, we should not rush through this. Just like this pigeon,
it is actually a very in piece of pigeon meat but after I chewed it, it has bepletely
unrecognizable. For the same reason, this matter was initially trivial but someone must be ying
tricks behind to confuse us. We have to be patient. Let me stay. I promise you that I won’t go back
to the Capital City unless this matter is solved. Sounds good?"
Hansen squinted his eyes for a long time and a t smile appeared. "Obviously, you''re doing this for
yourself. I don''t care what you want. But, if you dy this any further, I promise that you''ll be the
first one to die."
Christopher coughed twice, with a bitter smile on his face. He touched his ss and said, "Hansen,
I can''t hide anything from you. You have to believe me. We are family friends, what''s yours is mine.
Come on, let''s toast and get drunk."
Hansen was silent and couldn''t resist Christopher''s persuasion. After a few sses of wine, his
head became a little dizzy.
The two began to hug each other and continued drinking ss by ss.
After a few more sses, they couldn''t recognize each other anymore.
After a while, they started calling each other ''Dad'' and ''Mom''. Later on, they began to toast and
laughed in each other''s arms.
In Trevor''s ward.
Jenna carefully massaged Trevor''s arm and said softly, "Uncle Richards, I''m speaking to you. Can
you hear me? Vivian has made me the head of the manor, but don''t worry, it''s only temporary. I will
hand it back to you once you get better. I am going to hold a grand annual banquet for New Year
this year. In fact, it is also to celebrate your recovery and return to Richards Manor. I look forward to
seeing you attend it when the timees."
Jenna spoke softly and her words were like a hot spring that flowed slowly, bringing along a
lingering faint fragrance.
Trevor''s fingers twitched as if he wanted to raise his arm.
"Uncle Richards, do you want to say something?" She took his skinny hand and leaned close to his
face.
Trevor''s lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
"I see, you must be thirsty." Jenna smiled. She headed over to take the ss on the table, took a
straw, and put it near Trevor''s mouth.
Trevor''s lips moved slightly and he drank a lot of water.
Jenna smiled.
"Don''t worry, Uncle Richards. You''re cured of your illness. You will get better soon. It’s just because
you have been bedridden for too long. It will take some time to fully recover. Take your time. I will
come to visit you every day and give you massages." Jenna took his hand. Feeling that his hand
was a little cold, she put his hand under the quilt. When she was about to pull her hand out, she felt
him gripping it tightly. She immediately looked at him in surprise.
She witnessed something unexpected.
Trevor was slowly opening his eyes.
This was the first time Jenna saw Trevor open his eyes.
His eyes looked empty and out of focus.
Even so, Jenna was surprised beyond words.
"Uncle Richards, are you awake? Look at me, it''s Jenna," she cried out in surprise.
However, Trevor''s eyes only opened for a while before they closed again. His lips trembled slightly
and his arm moved a little.
This was definitely a good sign.
She should inform Hansen.
"Uncle Richards, do you want to see Hansen?
This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
Shall I call him over?" Jenna eximed in surprise and did not know what to do. The first person
that came to her mind was Hansen.
But, Trevor only breathed heavily. He was obviously very tired and fell asleep quickly.
Jenna listened to his steady breathing, secretly squealing in victory.
Trevor should be able to stand up and speak sooner than she thought!
After being bedridden for so many years, it was not easy to fully recover. Jenna knew it was a slow
process.
From that day onwards, she insisted oning every day but she never expected to see Trevor
open his eyes.
His eyes could gradually stay open longer, then he could look at Jenna steadily. Sure enough, as
long as he heard her voice, he would automatically open his eyes.
Then his eyes would clear up and regain focus. asionally, a smile would appear on his face.
Jenna''s mood was getting better.
She noticed the encouragement and affirmation in Trevor''s smile, therefore she smiled in
appreciation.
She walked out slowly at the sight of Trevor falling asleep.
She walked into her mother''s ward after. She talked to her and saw that it waste, hence she left
and was prepared to drive home.
The phone rang as soon as she got downstairs.
After a day of work, Jenna was
exhausted. She epted the call.
"Jenna... Where are you? I miss you."
Hansen''s speech was slurred on the other
side as if he drank a lot of alcohol.
Jenna frowned. The b*stard must be drunk again. She shut her phone and slid it back into her
pocket, not wanting to hear his voice.
After a while, her phone rang again.
Jenna looked at it. Hansen was calling her, thus she hung up immediately. She couldn''t care less
about him.
She opened the door and started the car.
The hateful ringtone couldn''t stop ringing.
Jenna took her phone and was about to hang up when she saw a foreign phone number disyed
on it.
She frowned, hesitated before she epted the call.
"Jenna, Hansen is drunk and he''s throwing up." Christopher''s voice sounded from the other side of
the call. He got drunk again! Jenna''s face fell.
