Chapter 317


    "Henry, go ahead and tell us what you''ve done." Trevor asked him coldly.


    His face turned pale, Henry looked at the desperate Georgia and Aria who were standing next to


    him. He opened his mouth and had wanted to say something, but after a while, he turned his head


    away and opened his mouth to speak.


    "Henry..." Aria squealed.


    "Aria, if I don''t say it, I will be put behind bars. The police are all here today. I have no choice. They


    had already found the evidence. I can only tell them the truth." When he heard Aria''s cries, Henry


    swiveled his head towards her and said helplessly, "I''m sorry, Aria. I don''t want to go to jail yet. I''ve


    already said before that if anything happens, I won''t be responsible."


    After that, he cleared his throat and no longer hesitated. He said loudly and clearly, "My cousin Aria


    had offered me 25 million dors and asked me to find Brock''s minions. She gave them 20 million


    dors and asked them to find a way to get rid of the child in Jenna''s belly. The other five million


    dors had been gifted to me as a reward."


    As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone below the stage burst into an uproar.


    This was such shocking and terrifying news.


    Not to mention the fact that Jenna was pregnant and only a few people were aware about it.


    However, spending the money to get rid of the child in her stomach was too cruel!


    Only a person with their heart so wretched would do something like that.


    Shrill rebukes rippled through the crowd.


    Georgia was also shocked. She had never thought that Aria was capable of doing such a thing, and


    she had not been privy to any of this. If she had known, she would have stopped her. After all, it


    was against thew to do so. This had gone too far.


    "What do you think? Do you still have any other excuses now? Henry is your cousin. Don''t tell me


    you don''t know him," Trevor asked Aria, who was rooted in ce, her expression sorrowful.


    Aria copsed to the ground.


    "Norton, step forward." After saying these words, he was no longer concerned with Aria and called


    out to the crowd below.


    Norton''s legs were already trembling so much that he could not even lift his feet. He just stood there


    nkly.


    "Go, bring him here." Trevor nced at ude, who had a gloomy look on his face while sitting at


    the side, and ordered the staff member next to him.


    After a while, Norton walked over while being held by others.


    "You son of a b*tch." Trevor mmed his hand on the wheelchair and roared, "Tell us all the


    disgraceful things you''ve done and try to earn your way into our good graces now. Otherwise, I


    won''t let go of the fact that you had unplugged my life support. Realize that this is a deliberate


    murder attempt. Thew will never let you off the hook."


    Upon hearing this, Norton''s knees gave way and he immediately knelt down and burst into tears.


    "Uncle, please don''t. I don''t want to go to jail. I was forced to do it. Please let me go."


    "Tell us at once." ude seemed to have realized something as the cogs in his mind clicked into


    ce. What else had this b*stard done? He immediately charged forward and kicked him harshly.


    Norton held his head while trembling all over. He said, "Don''t hit me. I''ll tell you everything. I''ll say


    it."


    The room settled into silence again.


    That day, almost everyone was stupefied. They were taken by surprise with the sudden truth and


    the unknown plot.


    "Uncle Richards, Grandma, I have loved Jenna back when I was still in college. Yet, Grandma was


    unfair and insisted that Jenna should marry Hansen. Do you know how much pain I was in?


    Watching the person I love became someone else''s wife and seeing them everyday. I swore to take


    her back.


    That day, Aria looked for me and said that as long as I did what she asked, I could get Jenna while


    she can have Hansen. She wanted to be the young madam of the Richards family. She was so


    obsessed with the idea. At that time, I wasn''t thinking straight and I actually agreed to her


    suggestions. I found a security servicepany outside and Aria gave me money. Then, she asked


    Mattias to sleep with Jenna. She wanted to destroy her chastity and reputation. At that time,


    everyone knew that Hansen didn''t like Jenna. Their rtionship was very rocky. As long as there


    was a stain on her, Hansen would definitely divorce her. Surely enough, after the incident, although


    they didn''t get divorced, Jenna had gone abroad. Aria took the opportunity toe to Hansen''s


    side. When he was at his worst, the stock market at that time was also falling. Then, Aria used


    Earl''s connections to stabilize the stocks and gained his trust. So, one thing led to another.


    Unfortunately, something happened to Javon. So, Jenna returned. At this time, Aria felt that her


    position was not guaranteed. When Hansen repeatedly refused to marry her, she looked for me


    again, threatened me with matters regarding Javon, and had asked me to spike Hansen''s wine to


    lead him to spend a night with her. She nned to conceive his child so that Hansen would have no


    choice but to marry her, but the plot three years ago was discovered by Uncle Richards'' s


    subordinate. Before he fainted, he already knew everything. Aria threatened me again as she was


    afraid that he would stop the marriage after he woke up. She asked me to think of a way to prevent


    Uncle Richards from waking up. I was worried and frightened. I was afraid of going to jail.


    Therefore, I repeatedly went to the hospital to remove Uncle Richards’ life support. I didn''t want him


    to wake up. I deserve to die. This woman, however, threatened me with Javon''s death. I only know


    now that Javon''s death had been caused by Earl. Her father killed him. Yet, she still had to shift the


    me on me. It''s no wonder Earl agreed to bail me out. It turned out that whatever he did was just


    to hang the crime of Javon''s death above my head. What goes aroundes around. In the end,


    this cunning old fox was hoisted by his own petard. Now, I regret not listening to Hansen. I already


    knew my mistakes. This is everything I did. It is absolutely true. I have never done anything else.


    Uncle Richards, I''m sorry. Please forgive me."


    Nortonid out the whole story clearly. After he finished his words, he began to bawl his eyes out.


    Hansen clenched his fists hard as he listened to their plot. He was so angry that his eyes turned


    red. He pointed at Norton and snapped. "Norton, where was your humanity when you did all these?"


    Reprimanded by Hansen, Norton wiped away his tears. He suddenly raised his head and retorted,


    "Yes, I did something wrong and I''m not a decent human being. But you? You couldn''t distinguish


    right from wrong and you were so messed up when ites to feelings. You fell in love with Jenna


    when you were in college. Then, did you fulfil your responsibilities as a husband? If you were wise


    and far- sighted enough in rtionships, these incidents would not have happened. I''ve wronged


    everyone, but you failed Jenna even more. How many times have you humiliated her and allowed


    her to suffer? You don''t have the right to point your finger at me."


    Hansen froze for a moment. His tight fist loosened up.


    Even though Norton''s words were unpleasant to his ears, they were true. It was as if a knife had


    pierced his heart and blood was flowing freely from it.


    Wearily, he lowered his hand that was pointing at Norton. His mind was in aplete mess. All of


    the past events had surfaced before his eyes, and his heart began to throb in pain.


    Though Norton was a sinner, Hansen was also stupid. He had hurt the woman he loved deeply.


    Before uncovering the truth, he had hurt her cruelly and for that, he was responsible.


    Slowly, he lowered his head.


    "Oh no, Madam Maria has passed out," eximed someone in the crowd.


    When Maria heard all the sins that Norton hadmitted, she was inplete disbelief. No longer


    able to bear such a blow, she fainted on the spot.


    "Mom!" Norton ran towards her wildly. He held Maria in his arms and let out a heartwrenching cry.


    Throughout those years in the house outside Richards Manor, Maria had taken care of him and his


    sister and often shed tears in secret. From then on, he had vowed to be sessful in the future and


    make his mother happy. Yet, at this moment, not only did he fail to make her happy, he also


    completely destroyed her hopes and dreams.


    He was about to go crazy.


    "Quick, take her to the hospital quickly," ude shouted to the security guard next to him after he


    approached them with a gloomy face and saw Maria.


    After a while, Butler Maud brought the servants to help Maria up and quickly rushed her to the


    hospital.


    Jordan walked up and handed over all the results of the interrogation to Trevor.


    Dahlia from Green Jade Garden, Julian from Ink Garden, and a group of servants who were bribed


    by Aria were all immediately driven out of Richards Manor by Trevor.


    Aria remained frozen, her face ashen.


    "Hansen, I did all of this just because I love you. Please, let me go." The matter had seen the light


    of the day and Aria could no longer hide it. She ran towards Hansen and hugged him. She started


    ying the love card and tried her best to ask for help.


    In the past, whenever she had cried and asked him for help, even if he did not love her, he would


    not do anything cruel to her. That day, she was mired in an unfortunate situation. In a haste, she


    could only use this way to beg him.


    At this point, it was likely that Hansen was the only person who could save her.


    However, Hansen''s face was terrifyingly grim. His eyes were swirling with sorrow, pain, and mostly


    anger.


    Until then, Hansen finally understood the whole situation when Trevor had exined the whole


    process after he woke up. At this time, when he saw that Aria was still brazenly asking him for help,


    he suppressed the anger in his heart and pushed her away coldly. He forced himself to ovee


    the impulse to strangle her to death. He calmed down and gritted his teeth. He then asked, word for


    word, "Aria, I only ask you two questions now. Answer me truthfully. If you answer truthfully, I may


    still have some mercy. Otherwise, not only will you be in jail, but your whole life will also be ruined


    beyond redemption."


    He shoved her hand away that was about to grab him again. Taking two steps back, he stood still


    with a cold smile on his face.


    "Hansen, go ahead. I''ll listen to everything you say. I only beg you not to abandon me." Aria''s face


    was filled with tears and fear. She kept nodding her head and said, "Hansen, I love you. I did these


    things because I loved you too much. I have wronged Jenna, but I can''t lose you. If I lose you, I


    won''t be able to live any longer."


    She copsed to the ground and cried sorrowfully. Her face was the personification of helplessness


    and anticipation. She simply stared at Hansen.


    Hansen squatted down and looked at her calmly with his cold eyes. He asked calmly, "Why did you


    find someone to get rid the child in Jenna''s stomach? Why?"


    Aria''s eyes were dull. Pain could be recognized in them. She answered nkly. "Hansen, I had no


    choice. In order to keep the child in my womb and retain my benefits, I had to do this. Think about it.


    If the child in her womb is born, it would threaten my livelihood forever. Besides, if you have that


    child, you would never love my child. So, this is all I could do."


    "So, even she thinks that the child in Jenna''s womb is mine!" Hansen lowered his head and


    muttered to himself. Even a woman like Aria believed that Jenna was carrying his child, but Jenna


    had told him that that child was not his? This d*mned woman!


    Aria looked at him in confusion. The corners of Hansen''s mouth formed a curve. He raised his head


    again to stare at Aria and asked sternly, "Alright, I''ll ask you now, who exactly is the father of the


    child in your belly?"


    As soon as she heard this, Aria''s heart trembled, her face turned as white as a sheet.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
