Chapter 235


    "What are you doing?" Norton hurriedly stepped forward to close the door before asking in a deep


    voice. If possible, he would rather not see her for the rest of his life.


    "Oh please, Norton." Aria smiled widely. "How''s life after being released from prison?"


    She asked, all but casual about it.


    Hearing this, Norton shuddered and his voice became lowered.


    "What do you want?"


    "What do you mean?" Aria sneered, "You wouldn''t be so naive as to think that I would bail you out


    of jail for nothing, right? You should know that you have to pay for easy days with your own hard


    work. I assume you understand this."


    Norton''s face darkened and he gaped at her without saying a word.


    "I have some news. Trevor can open his eyes now and his recovery is speedy, he''s almost fully


    recovered. If you don''t take any action, it will be toote." Aria''s expression suddenly turned icy.


    Without a frown, she spoke coldly.


    Trevor can open his eyes? Hearing that, Norton got flustered and ominous feelings rushed into his


    heart.


    "How did you know? Are these true?" he asked in disbelief.


    "Can these things be hidden from me? Of course I know," Aria said with a smirk. "This is what the


    nurse on the eighth floor of the hospital told me. She saw it with her own eyes. Would you say it''s


    fake?"


    Norton''s face fell.


    "If Trevor wakes up, everything that happened three years ago will be exposed. If that happens, you


    will be driven out of Richards Manor by Vivian and you will not have any share of the inheritance of


    the Richards family. This has no effect on me. But, for you, the loss would be great," Aria threatened


    him andughed. "I''m afraid that when youe out of prison, you will be living on the cold


    streets."


    Norton''s face began to twist, his fists clenching tightly. He red at Aria but his eyes were


    unfocused as if he was trying his best to endure something.


    After a long time, he calmed down. He then asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"


    "I can''t control what you will do but there is only one result, that is, Trevor can''t wake up. It''s best for


    him to be in aa forever," Aria spat out her vicious words.


    Norton''s face was tense. He remained silent and did not speak.


    "Norton, don’t hesitate anymore. This is the best opportunity. If we miss this chance, it would be too


    late." Aria saw that Norton was silent. Fearing that he would be shaken, she spoke in a persuasive


    tone. Norton hid his feelings so well that sometimes even she couldn''t figure it out.


    Norton''s face was suddenly masked with a sarcastic smile, his eyes full of darkness.


    "Also, Norton, your fiancee, Sabrina, is very close to Jenna. She does not know her ce at all. I


    hope you would teach her some manners." Thinking of the ridicule and mockery by Sabrina earlier


    that day, Aria was full of anger.


    "You... Don''t hurt her." At the first mention of Sabrina, Norton''s face suddenly paled. The silence


    was swept away and he stood up from his seat abruptly before he warned, "Aria, if you hurt her, I


    won''t let you get away with it."


    He spoke harshly and stared at Aria with the eyes of a ferocious beast.


    Aria was stunned. This was the first time she saw Norton angry. It was so out of his character. In the


    past, he would be worried about a lot of things, including getting on other people''s wrong side,


    therefore he always hid his emotions well.


    What did this mean?


    Was Norton in love with Sabrina? Three years ago, when Aria approached him, he was


    disappointed and bitter because Jenna left him. He was depressed and lost. Even when she


    proposed a n to frame Jenna, he was surprised but did not have much reaction.


    But currently, he was just like a furious lion with a death re; it was obvious that he was anxious


    for Sabrina. His face was gloomy and terrifying as if hurting Sabrina meant hurting him.


    Aria stood up, a little frightened.


    "Of course, if you can cooperate with me, I won''t hurt her. After all, she and I will be family in the


    future," she replied in a panic.


    "It''s best you remember that always." Norton red at Aria and added, "Sabrina is innocent and


    kindhearted, I will never allow anyone to bully her."


    "Okay, okay." Ariaughed suddenly. "It seems like you have really grown a lot. Don''t worry, just do


    your thing. I''m not that stupid."


    After Aria finished with a chuckle, she walked away.


    Norton copsed onto the sofa like a deted balloon.


    The next day, Jenna rushed to Ink Garden early in the morning as she was worried about the heart


    attack Vivian had. She saw Meroy walking out of Vivian''s bedroom just as she arrived.


    "Meroy, good morning. Did Grandma sleep wellst night?" Jenna brought Sabrina along and she


    couldn''t risk the secret getting out, therefore she asked casually.


    Meroy understood this. She then replied with a sweet smile, "Don''t worry, Young Madam. Old


    Madam is fine. She slept quite wellst night."


    "Thank you again, Meroy." Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. After getting Meroy''s reassurance, Jenna


    went to the office to start that day''s work.


    It was the end of the year. Richards Manor was huge, so naturally, the work she had to cover was


    plenty too. With this, she spent all morning going through piles of documents and reports.


    "Young Madam, someone is looking for you." When Jenna packed her things and was about to


    leave, she saw the doorman hurrying in.


    "Looking for me?" Jenna was surprised. The doorman was supposed to be guarding the main


    entrance of Richards Manor. It was strange that he personally came here.


    "Yes, Young Madam. Someone was looking for you at the gate. The staff in Green Jade Garden


    said that you have gone to work in Ink Garden but I couldn''t seem to reach the staff in Ink Garden


    through the phone, hence I had to run over," the guard panted whilst he exined.


    Nobody answered the phone?


    Jenna was surprised. She dialed the phone on her desk. As expected, it was out of service. No


    wonder she didn''t get any phone calls all morning. It turned out that there was a problem with the


    line.


    "Who is looking for me?" Ignoring the phone issue, she asked with furrowed eyebrows.


    "It''s a gentleman and he''s very handsome." The doorman was an old man. He was smirking as he


    praised, "The man is so handsome. I bet his looks can match Mr. Richards''s."


    Jenna was even more surprised when she heard it. Who would be the handsome man be looking


    for her?


    "Jenna, there is a handsome guy here to see you. Is he your hard-core fan?" Sabrina heard that


    and her smile reached her eyes.


    "Sabrina, there''s no such thing. Quick, ask someone to fix the phone. It must be the heavy snow


    over the past few days that caused this," Jenna patted Sabrina''s head lightly and stated.


    Sabrina smiled and made a silly face.


    Jenna walked out of Ink Garden with the guard, got into the car, and drove straight for the manor''s


    entrance.


    She saw an expensive Rolls-Royce RV from a distance. The cabin was ck and shiny. She didn''t


    know what it was made of but she knew who it belonged to with just a nce.


    Rayan.


    He actually came here to find her.


    Her heart sank.


    Thinking of the fight with Hansen that day, she panicked.


    "Rayan, why are you here?" Jenna walked out of the gate and asked with a smile. After seeing her,


    the handsome and elegant man quickly got out of the car, looking dashing as usual.


    "Am I not weed here?" Rayan joked with a bright smile.


    Jenna smiled bitterly. "Rayan, no such thing! It just feels a little sudden."


    Rayan looked at her. She was wearing only a thin cotton coat, therefore he knew that she had


    hurried out. It seemed that she did not know he wasing.


    "Hey, I called you a few times but you didn''t pick up. I had no choice but to rush over to find you."


    Rayan smiled helplessly and shook his head.


    Her phone?


    Jenna hurriedly found it in her pocket. As expected, the mobile phone she had been carrying


    around was gone. After thinking about it, she realized that she must have left it in her bedroom as


    she rushed out early to check on Vivian.


    "Sorry about that. I left my phone in my room. I turned it off before going to bedst night." Jenna


    smiled embarrassedly. Only then did she realize the strange feeling she had was her forgetting


    something that morning. It was actually her phone.


    Rayan''s eyes were bright as he smiled gracefully. "You are really a busy person."


    Jenna blushed hearing this sentence.


    "Rayan, what can I do for you?" she asked stupidly a momentter.


    "Do you really not know what I am here for?" Rayan furrowed his eyebrows at her and asked.


    "I don''t." Jenna shook her head in confusion.


    "You little fool. Every day, you are busy caring for other people that you forgot yourself." Rayan


    shook his head with some pity.


    Jenna was even more confused and she stared at him nkly.


    "Gee, Jenna. It''s your birthday." The light in Rayan''s eyes was gentle and a wry smile appeared on


    his face.


    Birthday? It was her birthday!


    Jenna was really dumbfounded. She thought for a while. It really was her birthday that day; she


    even forgot her own birthday!


    Had it not been for Rayaning to tell her, she would really be busy working all day and spent her


    26th birthday just like that.

    Rayan remembered her birthday; she was in awe and touched.


    At this moment, in this world, except for her mother, he was probably the only one who remembered


    her birthday.


    He was always so considerate and caring. She remembered the birthday he spent with her the year


    before. Without him, she might have been lonely. Many times, she wondered if she hadn''t met


    Hansen first or if it wasn''t for her father''s car ident, maybe she would have started epting


    him.


    This was fate''s doing, always messing around with people''s lives.


    She secretly sighed in her heart.


    "Here you go." Rayan took out arge bouquet of roses from the car and handed it to her, smiling


    politely. "These are the freshest roses, imported from abroad especially for you. It was flown over by


    a private jet."
