Chapter 408
Hannah looked at her seriously. Her eyes were filled with joy as she finally let her guard down and
all her worries were washed away. Their friendship meant the world to Hannah.
Hannah had to admit it, Jenna was much braver and dedicated when it came to love.
When she fell in love with Hansen, she loved without any restraint. However, when she decided to
give up, she ran away from him as far as she could. No matter how hard he pursued her again, she
was indifferent towards him. She stuck to her decisions, no matter what.
Compared to Jenna, Hannah who saw herself as a master of love had to admit, she suffered a lot
because of her concerns and hesitations.
Thinking about this, Hannah let out a deep sigh.
"However, you should still thank me. If it weren''t for me, how could you get to know such an
excellent man like Rayan?" Jenna smiled.
Hannah blushed. She held Jenna''s hand and said with a serious tone, "I''m really d you think that
way. In fact, I''ve been feeling uneasy these days. We''ve been best friends growing up and I don''t
wish for us to grow distant just because of some misunderstanding. You have no idea how happy I
was for you when I saw you walking down the aisle with Hansen. Now that we''ve cleared things up
between us, we''re still going to be best friends."
"Of course," Jenna quickly replied with excitement. There are seven billion people in the world, but
Hannah was the only friend who meant the world to her. They had always been truthful to each
other. Such an understanding was rare to have. Jenna''s eyes welled up with tears as she took
Hannah''s hand and said affectionately, "Hannah, we''re going to be best friends for life. If everything
works out, I would like our children to marry each other."
"Nothing would make me happier." Hannah squealed with delight as her eyes welled up with tears.
They held each other''s hands tightly.
"Come on, let''s have a toast. To our never-ending friendship." Their sses clinked and made a
crisp sound.
They smiled at each other.
Then, they heard the sound of a pair of high heels approaching them. It was faint and delicate, but
quick and impatient as if the owner of the heels held a grudge against the floor.
It was ruthless, precise, and fast.
The sound smashed into Jenna''s eardrums as if the heels were stepping on her heart, which made
her feel ufortable and disturbed.
She furrowed her brows as she turned towards the direction of the sound.
It was a woman with wavy hair and delicate features. Her evening gown made her look beautiful
and charming.
She was walking towards them with a smile on her face.
Jenna and Hannah looked at each other.
It was a modest smile, but Jenna could feel an inexplicable unease from her expression. The
atmosphere was cloaked with a sense of restlessness and danger.
"Hannah, Mrs. Richards, d that I could meet you here. I''vee to propose a toast." Zoe
spoke courteously with a smile hanging on her face as she walked towards them.
Who was this woman?
Jenna didn''t know who she was. So, she looked at Hannah. She thought maybe Hannah would
have the answer since she was the head of the cafeteria and had met many people.
Hannah let out augh, stood up holding her ss, and said in a carefree manner, "Miss Yates,
you''re here. I''ve heard all about the extraordinary woman president of the Sky Sword Group."
Jenna understood as soon as Hannah introduced Zoe''s title purposefully. "So this is the head of
the Sky Sword Group." She thought.
She was a little surprised. It seemed that A City was really a ce full of hidden talents. Even the
women were more capable, one after another.
Even though Sky Sword Group and Jones Group had merged, their power was still far less than the
Richards family at the moment. However, they cannot be underestimated.
With a clink, Hannah and Zoe had already finished the wine in their sses.
"Here, Mrs. Richards." Zoe picked up a wine ss from the table and poured Hannah and herself
another ss. Then, she handed a ss to Jenna and said with admiration, "Mrs. Richards, you are
indeed as beautiful and as virtuous as people say. You''re so much more beautiful in person than
you are on the television. I''ve heard a lot about you. I also hope that the great and powerful
Richards Group would show some mercy towards smallpanies like us. Cheers."
She clinked her ss against Jenna''s and gulped all the wine down.
"This woman could really drink!" Jenna thought. She drank both sses of wine without even
blinking. However, on such an asion, she should have already drank far more than just these
two sses, yet she looked calm and confident still.
"I''ve long heard that Miss Yates is straightforward and capable. Now that I''ve seen it for myself, I''m
impressed." Jenna smiled politely and downed hers too.
She was never good at drinking. So, she felt a little dizzy after downing a whole ss of wine.
What''s more, she had just finished one with Hannah.
"Mrs. Richards, I heard that you went back to work at Richards Group. What good news! It looks like
Richards Group is heading towards an even brighter future. Do look after us, will you, Ms. Murphy?"
Zoe filled up their sses once more.
Jenna''s head was a little dizzy, but it would be rude of her to refuse such a sincere toast.
However, if she drank it, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and things would go
bad if Hansen came looking for her.
She looked at her ss and frowned slightly. This won''t be easy.
Just then, Hannah took her ss, smiled, and said, "Miss Yates, Ms. Murphy is feeling a little
ufortable today. Please, allow me."
Hannah downed the wine, showed Zoe the empty ss, and taunted her. "Are you satisfied, Miss
Yates?"
She was obviously trying to get Zoe to leave, indicating that she was not weed. It would be
indiscreet for her to continue.
Zoe, of course, understood what Hannah meant. She immediately smiled and said, "You can
really drink, Miss Adames. We should meet up for a drink some other day."
"Of course. You''re wee toe to my cafeteria anytime." Hannah answered politely. She
would never say no to whoever was willing to spend their money in her cafeteria.
Zoe let out a faint smile.

"I''m sorry for disturbing you guys. I''ll take my leave."
She left gracefully.
"She''s not someone you''d want to mess with," Hannah muttered as she watched Zoe strode off
calmly and confidently.
"How could you tell?" Jenna asked anxiously as she recovered from the situation.
"Intuition." Hannah narrowed her eyes. "I''ve seen countless people. I know I''m right. There''s
something devilish about her."
When Jenna heard this, she couldn''t help but to burst intoughter. "Didn''t you say that about men?
I didn''t know you had a thing for women too."
"Trust me. I''m a good judge of character. I have to hand it to her. She was fearless facing you. With
such a smallpany, she still had the confidence to propose a toast to you," Hannah said
worriedly.
"Was it a threat?" Jenna''s heart skipped a beat. s, she thought Zoe was showing respect to
both of them!
"You know what, let''s just forget it. Such a wonderful banquet, yet we got disturbed by this woman.
How disappointing. Come on, we''re not done chatting." Hannah threw Zoe at the back of her
head. She suddenly thought of something and asked in a low and mysterious voice, "Do you know if
Madam Lilian will being tonight?"
"Madam Lilian?" Jenna thought for a while and said, "The famous Madam Lilian Garver?"
"Yes, that''s her." Hannah pped her hands and said softly, "She had other matters to attend to
today, but due to her rtionship with Mr. Hawk, she decided toe anyway. It won''t be for long
though, maybe for two or three hours."
"I see." Jenna said faintly, then asked curiously, "What about it? Are you interested even in old
ladies now?"
Jenna stared at Hannah. In the past, she was only interested in men, but how she started showing
concern towards older women. The power of love, as strange as it seems, can change a person in
an instant.
"You don''t know about this, do you? Let me tell you, it''s rare for Mr. Hawk to be able to invite
Madam Lilian over. Such a character could only be seen over the television and now you get a
chance to meet her in person," Hannah said excitedly.
"I didn''t expect you to still pursue a celebrity at this age." Jenna gave her a side-eye with a slight
disdain in her tone.
"I never pursued celebrities, but for a woman to be able to achieve such powerful political status, it''s
a feat. I admire her. What''s wrong with that?" Hannah eximed.
"You''re being childish." Jenna let out a sigh and put her arms on the white round table and looked
Hannah in the eyes. "So, what does this have to do with us? What''s there for us to be excited
about? Have you been living under a rock?"
Hannah didn''t know how to refute and her excitement washed away. Not only was she not able to
fight back, but she also became more sharp-tongued ever since she remarried. That''s a new side of
Jenna she hadn''t seen.
