Chapter 271
"What''s the matter?" Rayan asked without raising his head.
"Mr. Whalen, the young man has been standing by the gate for the entire afternoon, refusing to
leave. He insists on bringing..." The housekeeper''s voice faltered as he nced at Jenna.
Jenna''s head throbbed and she was in a state of flux.
Darkness had fallen and it was raining cats and dogs. Did Hansen still refuse to leave?
How long had he been standing there?
Her face turned ashen.
"All right, I''ll go and have a look." Rayan nodded. The housekeeper then left.
Jenna was in a dilemma.
Rayan stared deep into her eyes.
"What''s the matter? Do you want to see him?" he asked softly.
"What? No..." Jenna responded instinctively but her fingers began fidgeting.
"Are you sure?" Rayan asked again. His intense gaze fixed on her.
"Uh, uh." Jenna nodded mechanically as her eyes were fixed on the table.
"Well, don''t worry. I''ll ask him to go home." Rayan nodded.
"Rayan, please, don''t provoke him. Send someone to bring him home," Jenna begged.
"Okay, I know what to do," Rayan reassured her and shed her a smile.
Jenna had no appetite anymore and her gaze riveted upon the door.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
"Hello." After a long time, Jenna answered the call with a quivering voice.
"Miss Murphy, this is Haward. After standing guard for a few days, I finally discovered how the
person got into the ward. There is a pipe beside the ward''s window. That was how the person
entered. Someone removed Trevor''s tube again today," Haward reported with a lowered voice.
"What? Someone did what?" Jenna''s heart pounded rapidly. Someone wanted Trevor dead, but
who?
She had already agreed to leave Richards Manor and Hansen. Why would anyone still want to
harm Trevor?
What exactly was going on? "Miss Murphy, do you want to call the police?" "No, don''t provoke the
enemy before we catch the culprit. I will increase your sry. Please guard the ce these few
days and notify Madam Wyld immediately if the tube is removed. Just ask her to insert the tube
again," Jenna instructed.
"Sure." With that, Haward ended the call.
It was a near miss! Jenna steadied herself. Fortunately, she thought of sending her bodyguards to
watch over Trevor in the hospital. Otherwise, who knew what would happen.
Obviously, someone didn''t want Trevor to recover.
It was intentional murder!
The culprit should be brought to justice.
She had already left Hansen. Hence, it didn''t seem to be Aria. She had no motives to murder
Trevor.
Who else could it be?
Jenna was getting a headache and she could not wrap her head around the matter.
Suddenly, she thought of Hansen still standing outside.
He was still fooling around and getting himself drunk when his father was in danger.
Didn''t he know?
The thought crossed her mind and she ran outside.
The cold air hit her.
So cold!
She went back into the house to get an umbre.

It was so cold, yet he remained outside for the entire afternoon.
How could he be so stubborn!
Jenna never thought that he would be so headstrong!
"Let me drive my point across. I won''t leave unless Jennaes home with me today." Hansen
stood upright with his back straight although his legs were already stiff from the cold. He was
drenched in rain but he remained stubborn as a mule and refused to budge. Rain trickled down from
his hair and his eyes were evident with determination.
Rayan walked over, holding an umbre in his hand. His gaze was sharp and cold as it remained
riveted upon Hansen.
The gate was illuminated by themps.
There was only a gate between them but it felt as if they were from two different worlds.
His expression darkened as he stared at Hansen who refused to leave no matter what.
Did he drink? Rayan wondered.
Hansen seemed tipsy but he was not very drunk.
Rayan could see the fierce determination in his eyes.
Hansen was not making a scene because he was drunk; he knew what he was doing.
Rayan''s heart quivered. He was indeed startled and for some inexplicable reason, he felt guilty.
Hansen was a sessful businessman in A city. He had money and power. He was capable,
cunning and rational. Rayan heard of him before he came to A City.
However, hepletely lost it when it came to love.
Ever since he saw him by Jenna''s side, he lost his cool and became childish. He got jealous of
some trifle matters and even fought him. Besides, he disregarded his pride and dignity in front of the
media.
If Rayan didn''t install many surveince cameras and take preventive measures beforehand, his
vi would already be surrounded by reporters by this moment.
He always kept a low profile when he went out to the public. The location of his vi was very
secluded and no reporters had seeded in securing information about his whereabouts.
He was able to keep his identity a secret thanks to his character and how he treated others.
However, he revealed his identity numerous times for the sake of Jenna. Even the vi was almost
exposed.
He believed that this was the first time he appeared in public for the sake of a woman.
He thought he was irrational up till this moment.
Hansen''s actions startled him!
Obviously, Hansen was a lot more irrational and crazierpared to him.
His love for Jenna was insane!
Was this how true love should be?
Hansen was true to his feelings. Was it a good thing?
For a sessful businessman to be out of his mind when he fell in love, it was indeed something
scary!
It was a w! It was enough to ruin him.
Hansen obviously did not realize it but what if he did? Maybe he was willing to ept the
w despite knowing the risks associated.
If that was the case, he truly loved Jenna.
He was willing to risk everything for the sake of her.
Realization dawned on Rayan.
He finally understood why Jenna did not choose him.
Hansen''s love for her was much deeper and it was selfless.
Hansen obviously loved Jenna far more than him. He became irrational and crazy because he loved
her. He cared about her and did not wish to lose her.
Unlike Rayan.
Perhaps, this was true love. Something he had never experienced before.
He was always calm andposed despite the circumstances.
If he could meet someone who would drive him crazy in the future, he would willingly ept his
fate.
Rayan''s jealousy stirred again. It would be worth it to experience true love even if it ruined his
career.
He had dealt with various men as his business grew. He had long been ustomed to seeing men
who were willing to sacrifice their marriage for the sake of sess.
Money, fame, and status clouded their thoughts and love was nothing to them. Indeed, Hansen
surprised him.
At this moment, he changed his perception of Hansen. They shared the same values. Rayan did not
back down and marry Hilda. His future was unpredictable but at least, he knew it was the right
choice.
Rayan sighed inwardly at the thought of this.
"Rayan, open the gate and hand over Jenna," Hansen demanded as their eyes met.
"Are you sure that Jenna will go home with you?" Rayan forced a smile. To be honest, he was
uncertain about the answer too. Upon finishing the sentence, he fell silent and stared at Hansen
who was drenched in rain.
"Yes," Hansen replied without hesitation. His eyes were filled with hope and his face split into a wide
smile as he caught a glimpse of a figure some distance away.
Rayan was startled and spun around.
Jenna was holding a dark umbre, walking towards them. She was so thin that she struggled
against the wind but she did not stop.
Almost at the same time.
Hansen''s eyes shone with excitement.
Rayan''s heart sank.
"Jenna, you are finally here." Hansen was ecstatic and beamed from ear to ear despite the pouring
rain.
Jenna gradually approached them.
Hansen was standing outside but Rayan was just by her side. However, her gaze fell upon Hansen
who was soaked from head to toe. Being in the horrendous rain made his well-built figure look frail
and lonely.
He was the man she loved deeply and wanted more than anything else. However, she was forced
to let him go when he finally fell for her.
Her heart quivered at the sight of him.
He was wet all over, yet he remained stubborn and refused to leave. Why? Didn''t he know that his
father was in danger? Shouldn''t he protect his family?
"Jenna,e home with me," Hansen urged, his eyes filled with hope. He stretched out his hand
towards her as his gaze remained riveted upon her.
Jenna just stared at him coldly.
"Hansen, don''t think too highly of yourself. I won''t return to Richards Manor. Who do you think you
are? There is no love between us.
Why should I go with you? Is there any reason for me to do this? Don''t forget, you are about to
marry Aria. You are not qualified toe and beg me to return with you. I came here to persuade
you to leave and take care of your dad," she said icily. She had no intentions to return to Richards
Manor.
"No, Jenna. I won''t marry anyone except you. Come with me. I will take you away. Let''s live
somewhere else. We can leave A City. Believe me, I only love you." Hansen remained stubborn and
was not affected by what she said.
Jenna dropped her eyes and sniggered the next second.
