Chapter 228


    "Really?" Jenna smiled nonchntly with aggressive eyes. "Norton, if you still have your


    conscience, you will give me a straight answer."


    Norton looked at her silently.


    "Jenna, please let me go, I don''t want to go to jail. I will make it up to you. Anything you want, you


    can just ask for it," Norton suddenly begged Jenna as he looked at her in agony.


    "Norton, do you have any dignity?" Jenna gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily.


    He was so embarrassed that he dared not look at her, let alone answer her.


    "Let me ask you: do you love Sabrina?" Jenna stared at his gloomy face and asked with a heavy


    tone.


    Sabrina? Norton was shocked by the mention of her name and then he suddenly understood. Jenna


    came to him for Sabrina, not for herself.


    What was on her mind? She waspletely unreadable.


    "Jenna, I have never loved any other woman in my life other than you." Norton stood up


    straight, cleared up his thoughts, and told her.


    Jenna frowned. She never liked Norton, never would she believe his nonsense. If it weren''t for


    Sabrina, she would not even want to talk to him in the first ce.


    "Well, let me ask you. Since you don''t love her, what are you hoping to get from her father? Why did


    you ask her out? Why are you trying to find General Delia? Is there any ulterior motive?" Jenna


    probed aggressively.


    "I..." Norton stared at her nkly and muttered, "Sabrina told you this?"


    "Norton, don’t assume that everyone else is deceitful as you. Sabrina is kind-hearted and pure. She


    may be your fiancee on paper but to me, you are unworthy of her. If you don’t love her, you have to


    tell her instead of manipting her like this. It''s unfair to her." Jenna was heartbroken that Sabrina


    was a pawn in Norton''s game.


    If her assumptions were right, Norton was currently nning to get to Sabrina''s father through her.


    Jenna couldn''t bear to see Sabrina hurt, that was why she would stand up to Norton.


    Norton frowned in panic, his expression stiffened.


    "Let me tell you something, Norton. Sabrina is a good girl. I won''t let you hurt her. I don''t want to see


    her go through the same things as I did. No matter what you''re using her for, or if you''re nning to


    use every means to deceive her, I won''t let you seed." Jenna''s eyes were as cold and like


    piercing arrows. Her words were obsolete.


    Norton stood bewildered as he looked at Jenna nkly, speechless.


    "Norton, if you still have a heart, leave Sabrina out of this n of yours. She is really innocent and


    probably loves you. If you don''t want to marry her or have ulterior motives, please let her go. This is


    my advice to you. If you must do something against your conscience, remember, I will not let you


    get away with it,” Jenna warned Norton again. After this, she ignored him, turned around, and left.


    Norton stood as still as a statue, dumbfounded until Jenna''s figure disappeared from his sight. He


    then walked away with his head down.


    On the vast blue sea, luxurious cruise ships were floating on the surface of the sea.


    The sea breeze did not affect how warm and cozy the cabin of the cruise ship was.


    There was a tall and handsome man holding a wine ss. He took a sip from his ss, his


    movements impably elegant, and his whole body radiated an aura of prestige.


    He lightly twirled the wine ss and scarlet-red liquid stained his fingers.


    "Rayan, have you thought about it? If we don''t act now, Christopher will take over my dad''s den in A


    City. The city is densely popted. We can''t miss such good resources." An elegant woman stood


    behind him. She was staring at his back affectionately and asked softly.


    "You should already know my ns." Rayan turned around. His eyes shed coldly before saying to


    Hilda, "I am not interested in this and I don''t want to participate."


    Hilda''s face quickly turned pale and a disappointed smile formed on her face.


    "Rayan, I know you are worried about her and you don''t want to hurt her," Hilda resisted the pain in


    her and said. Her hand that was holding the shawl trembled slightly.


    After so many months, he still couldn''t forget her. Jenna was the only one in his heart.


    He had never even given her a good nce.


    Why?


    Rayan stood there, raised his head, and downed the wine in his hand. His face was getting flushed.


    "She is so perfect and worth every ounce of my love. Is there anything wrong with it?" His eyes


    were cold and his unforgiving words pierced Hilda''s heart like a knife. "I love her and I am willing to


    do anything for her."


    Hilda''s face waspletely nched.


    After a long time, Hilda put aside her own feelings and said calmly, "Rayan, this is my father''s


    request. We must make sure the A city police get stopped so that we can get through this


    catastrophe without a scratch on us."


    Rayan gave an indifferent smile and said nonchntly, "Hilda, as I said, I want no part of this.


    Please pass the message to your dad. At the same time, I advise you to not embark on this road.


    It''s not toote to give up."


    Hilda was utterly disappointed. He did not want anything to do with them. For so many years, he


    was living the good life as she was willing to keep his involvement in organized crime a secret.


    Although there were spections, this did not affect his reputation. His career was in full swing as


    he gradually took over international territories andter the rest of the world. This marked the


    beginning of his glory.


    After all, he was a natural when it came to business. He was smart, decisive, and bold, not to


    mention he had his father''s support. He conquered both the criminal organizations and the market.


    He was invincible.


    His worth was so great that it could be a myth.


    Now that he retained all these sesses, he wanted to soar on his own and have nothing to do


    with her.


    "No, Rayan. It''s not like that." Hilda shut her eyes in pain. "If my father hadn''t supported you all


    these years, could you be where you are today? Could you develop in those foreign countries?


    Could you gain favor from multiplepanies or even the head of state? Have you ever thought


    about it?"


    "Of course I did." Rayan''s eyes shed coldly as they talked about the past. He took a deep breath


    and said lightly, "It is precisely because of this that I hesitated until now. However, I''ve decided. I will


    leave this ce. From now on, I just want to live a normal life. Everything here has nothing to do


    with me. To make it up to you, I will put severalpanies in major foreign countries under your


    name. You can also choose to live a normal life like me and get married one day."


    This day has finallye.


    Hilda was starting to get dizzy.


    "Rayan, if you leave my dad, do you really think thosepanies can continue to stay sessful?


    Don''t be naTve. Look at thepetitors. They might look sessful but what they relied on was


    the filthy money my father made for them. Nothing is possible without money. Think about it, how


    did my father stay unharmed all these years? Not one of those sessful people was not involved


    with organized crime. Why can’t you ept it? All these good things are just a facade. I don’t


    oppose your pursuit but you can’t leave me. You must know that I have poured out everything I


    have to love you. I waited for you for so many years. Why are you so cruel? If my father knows


    about this, he will not forgive you," Hilda exined with tears welling in her eyes.


    Rayan had a prestigious aura. His elegance and his career were because of her father''s help. Now


    that he achieved fame and sess, he wanted to abandon them, to abandon this kind of shame,


    his rtion with the life of crime. He wanted to live a normal life but he never thought that he was


    once a downcast man that even with good looks and brilliant personality, he did not go far in his


    business.

    It wasn''t until he met her father that the tables turned and his career skyrocketed. She made him the


    ssy man he was today but now he decided to leave her.


    At first, her dad liked him for his talent and perseverance. Plus, he wanted Hilda to work with


    Rayan. In the end, her father only wanted to ask him to marry Hilda, nothing more.


    What would her father think if he were to leave them after achieving sess?


    Tears flowed down her cheeks.


    She loved him so deeply and was willing to do anything for him.


    She did everything she could for him to live his life like a king but obviously, all she did meant


    nothing to him.


    "Hilda, this decision was not made on a whim. I thought about it for a long time. I suppose you


    know. After going through so much, I have figured it out. A simple life is enough. My life doesn''t


    need to be extravagant. I would never be involved in drugs. You should know it better than I do.


    Please inform your father about this. I''m not afraid to pay the price if you choose to not let me go."


    Rayan said as he slid his hands into his pockets, smiling calmly. It was as if he was talking about


    somethingpletely unrted to him.


    Hilda gripped the handle of the seat so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.


    "Get on the shore," Rayan ordered toward the driver window.


    The cruise ship immediately drove towards the shore.


    Before going ashore, Rayan turned and said to Hilda, "Do not hurt her. Otherwise, I won''t let you get


    away with it." He left after.


    Rayan was willing to pull his name through the mud to achieve sess but he would never be


    associated with drugs. This was his bottom line and no one could convince him otherwise.
