Chapter 291


    Zoey chuckled and whispered into her ear, "I actually did those things because Hansen wanted me


    to test if you were in love with him because he wasn''t sure about it. Who would''ve known that you


    actually fell for it, and even looked very jealous. I can tell that you really do love Hansen, and he


    truly loves you as well. That day when you went missing on the streets, he was so worried about


    you. I''ve never seen him so anxious before, he even ran everywhere to find you. It was then that I


    knew that the both of you were truly in love."


    Zoey said without hesitation. She had just got off the ne and hadn''t heard of the news that


    Hansen was marrying Aria soon. She only thought of thest time she third-wheeled Hansen and


    Jenna in Los Angeles. It made Jenna very ufortable, and she was worried that Jenna would


    hate her and affect her allowances from her cousin. Perhaps if she ttered Jenna enough, she


    would get more allowance in the future.


    Jenna''s face turned pale when she heard Zoey''s words. The memories of them in Los Angeles


    shed through her mind, and they were so in love and sincere to each other then. She felt the pain


    in her heart grow so much that she wasn''t able to breathe, and her eyes involuntarily nced at


    Hansen, who wasn''t too far away. At that time, Hansen looked at her as well, as if they had


    telepathy. Their eyes met, and Jenna quickly looked away.


    "Since we are all here, we should have fun together and have a merry gathering. Sabrina, be sure


    to entertain Zoey well." Sabrina had known Zoey since they were children, as the two of them used


    to visit Richards Manor frequently. The two of them were not from the Richards family, but they had


    simr personalities and were able to get along well with each other. Therefore, Jenna happily left


    the job of taking care of Zoey to Sabrina.


    Sabrina agreed and quickly brought Zoey to y elsewhere.


    "Rayan, please take care of my good friend." Hannah instructed Rayan as she saw that only the


    three of them were left.


    Rayan smiled. "It''s your order. I dare not disobey."


    Hannahughed at his remark, then she pulled Jenna to the side and lowered her head as she


    asked with an astonished expression, "Howe I heard that Rayan was going to marry you? Is


    that really true?" Jenna was stunned. Her mouth was left open in shock and nothing came out, as


    she remembered what Rayan had said to her.


    "Tsk tsk, Rayan is such a virtuous and decent man." Hannahplimented, "You''re a divorced


    woman, and you''re pregnant with your ex-husband''s child, yet he doesn''t mind and is willing to


    marry you. That''s very righteous of him. I admire him, and I envy you as well, being able to find a


    man who loves you so wholeheartedly. You should cherish him, it''s rare to find men like these


    nowadays. God is fair, you may have lost Hansen, but you have Rayan now. In fact, it''s probably a


    good thing that Hansen didn''t marry you. Besides, Rayan is definitely not any worse than Hansen.


    You truly are blessed."


    Hannah made it sound so touching, but Jenna didn''t know how to exin to her. So, she gave up


    on trying instead to avoid making things even moreplicated.


    "What about you? You''re twenty-si,x and no longer young. You should be looking for a boyfriend


    too." Jenna quickly changed the topic so that they didn''t have to talk about her.


    "Don''t worry, I prefer being single. Besides, I''m an exceptional woman. I don''t think any man is


    worthy of dating me, so I have no choice." Hannah said proudly. She stood up straight the moment


    the topic revolved around her.


    Jennaughed at her sense of humor and said softly, "No worries. I''ve invited you here because I''m


    concerned about your love life. All the men here today are either celebrities or wealthy men from A


    City. Go ahead and seduce them with your tactics, stir up some sparks. I will pretend that I don''t


    know about it. From what I know, the men present are mostly affectionate men, and they''d be happy


    to serve their loved ones. As long as you have your eye on them, they''ll let you take advantage of


    them for as much as you want. What do you think about that? Put in some effort and find a man


    who satisfies you within these three days. I''m waiting for your good news. I even prepared the best


    guest room for you."


    Jenna spoke cheekily, and burst intoughter as she reached the funny parts.


    This time, it was Hannah''s turn to look upset, and she eximed that Jenna had been damaged by


    Hansen''s scum.


    The two of them walked inside as theyughed and talked. Rayan followed by their side, and let out


    a sigh of relief seeing that Jenna was in a good mood.


    Many guests attended the banquet, including almost all the sons of the wealthy and famous families


    in A City. Jenna was confident that these men were all here to find pretty targets. Very soon, Jenna


    started having a hard time looking for Hannah. All the men were surrounding her and ttering her,


    and she probably forgot all about Jenna.


    Jenna knew Hannah very well. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to date, she just never met the right


    man. Besides, she spent most of the time being busy in her cafe, so she barely had time to go out


    for dates.


    They were both twenty-six already, and they''d be considered ''leftover women'' very soon. Although


    Jenna was single, she didn''t want her best friend to be single as well.


    The opening ceremony of the New Year Banquet went smoothly. Ever since Aria arrived, Jenna


    didn''t really have anything to do. She was supposed to host the ceremony with Sabrina, but Aria


    took her ce, so she was relieved of those duties. However, she was happy with the new-found


    peace as she was already weak, and carrying a child made it even more difficult for her.


    After lunch, Jenna was just about to take a rest in her guest room when she saw everyone crowding


    in front as she walked close by along the hallway. She could hear faint arguing sounds as if a


    quarrel was going on.


    "You b*tch, who do you think you are! How dare you order me!" Zoey''s voice was loud and clear,


    and it quickly entered Jenna''s ears.


    "I was ordered by Ms. McAdams, the young madam of the Richards family, to pass you a message.


    She wants you to clean up the gown immediately. If anything happens to the gown, you must


    compensate her with another one that''s exactly the same. You should know that this gown is the


    only one in the world, and it costs a few million," Minnie said bluntly with her ring voice, which


    attracted more attention.


    Jenna frowned as she heard the sounds. She had a bad feeling about it, and quickly walked


    towards the crowd.


    "It''s just money. A few million is nothing. Hansen has way more than that. I want to go see Hansen,"


    Zoey said frankly, with an unbothered expression on her face.


    "Exactly. Those rags looked so bad on her, and yet they cost so much. As if they''re precious or


    something. It''s not like it''s a historical relic, and even if it was, it should''ve been worn by a dead


    person. How did it get on Miss McAdams?" Sabrina scorned together with Zoey.


    "Alright, all of you have no respect for Ms. McAdams. You purposely ruined her gown, and now


    you''re mocking her. Your attitudes are horrible. I''ll go tell Ms. McAdams and let her get Mr. Richards


    to deal with you." Minnie threatened. She specifically brought the gown over to get an exnation,Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    yet didn''t receive any apologies. Instead, she was bullied and scolded by both of them, and that


    made her furious.


    "Go ahead, you barbaric woman, you''re only getting your way by relying on that disgustingdy,


    Aria. I''ve disliked you since a long time ago. If you make me mad, I will not hesitate to fight you


    myself." Zoey used to be an athlete, and she had already been yelled at by Minnie many times that


    day.


    How dare Minnie order and belittle her just because she was close to Aria! She should have known


    that when she used to visit Richards Manor, even Grandma and Hansen had to listen to her,


    especially Hansen, who had to calm her down when she got mad. However, now she was being


    bullied by the minion of the so-called ''young madam'' whom Hansen hadn''t even married yet, so she


    was really in the mood for a fight.


    "Would you dare to hit me? Who do you think you are? You''re only the cousin, and you''re not even


    married to Norton Richards yet, who knows what will happen in the future. Ms. McAdams is the


    young madam of the Richards family, the heiress to Richards Manor, and soon to be the woman in


    charge of all household affairs in Richards Manor. By then, all of you will have to obey her when you


    visit. You''d better be smart and start respecting Ms. McAdams..."


    Before Minnie could finish her sentence, a loud ''smack'' rang in the air, and a hard pnded on


    her cheek. She had always been a couch potato and tried her best to avoid gym sses, so it was


    no surprise that she couldn''t dodge Zoey''s attack. By the time she felt the pain, Zoey''s handprint


    was already on her face, and Sabrina had snatched back the gown, trampled all over it on the floor,


    and spat saliva on it. She even used her high heels to step on the gown and rubbed it against the


    floor as she wasn''t satisfied.


    The gown waspletely ruined.


    Minnie went ballistic the minute she saw the scene. She extended her arm and wanted to hit


    Sabrina, but Zoey noticed her actions and intercepted her attack. Before Minnie couldy a finger


    on Sabrina, Zoey gave her stomach a kick, and she immediately fell to the ground, wailing in pain


    as if she were a pig about to be ughtered.


    Just as Jenna waded through the crowd and was able to see what was going on, Zoey had lifted


    her leg and was about tond a kick on Minnie''s face.


    Jenna was terrified when she saw it, and instantly shouted at Zoey to stop her.


    Zoey finally retracted her leg and didn''t kick Minnie in the face.


    "What are you doing?" Jenna asked with lingering fear.


    "Jenna, we''re helping you teach this b*tch a lesson," Sabrina said as she pped happily.


    It''s over, Jenna thought. She lowered her head to find that Aria''s gown had beenpletely


    destroyed by Sabrina. She felt a surge of dread in her heart, yet saw that the twodies were still


    feeling proud of and righteous about their work, not realizing the trouble they''ve caused. The fact


    that they even said that they did this to avenge her made her heart drop.


    Minnieid on the ground and cried as she whined, "Look at these terrible people. They''ve ruined


    Ms. McAdams'' gown, and now they want to hit me! They''re hitting me!" It was obvious that her cries


    were to stir up drama.


    Jenna was very frustrated, and wanted to pick the gown up and send it to the dry washing room, but


    then she saw many guards running towards them.


    To avoid idents throughout those few days, the security was way stricter than usual. The guards


    immediately rushed over as they noticed that something was going on.
