Chapter 429


    Jenna walked out of the Ink Garden and headed straight for Richards Group.


    "Mr. Garver, who gave you the permission to publish the news? Did you get my permission to do


    so? Who is the reporter responsible for this? What do they want and on whose orders? I want you


    guys to give me a satisfactory answer regarding the identity of the culprit." Jenna came out of the


    elevator and was walking towards Hansen''s office when she heard Hansen''s bellows. At first, she


    was shocked, but she soon realized what was happening. "You guys don''t have the right to reveal


    my story to the public. Consider this a warning. You guys had better apologize or I''m definitely going


    to sue you. If you feel that you have the ability to go against me, then you may ignore what I''ve said.


    However, I won''t give you a second chance."


    Obviously, Hansen already received news about what had happened. He was smart and sharp.


    Without a doubt, he knew that something was amiss.


    Jenna stood in the corridor, debating whether she should go in and ask him. After pondering the


    matter, she decided to enter her office first and put down her stuff. She would find him once he had


    calmed down.


    As soon as she entered her office, she noticed that someone was already inside. At first, she


    thought it was the cleaner but to her surprise, she saw Liya standing in front of her desk. Her gaze


    seemed to be riveted upon something on it.


    She pursed her lips in displeasure.


    "Liya, why are you in my office?" Jenna''s expression darkened. She walked towards her and made


    her annoyance noticeable.


    Liya didn''t expect her toe in at this moment and was caught off guard. However, she calmed


    down quickly and put on a smile. "Ms. Murphy, the global carwork program has been designed. I


    want you to have a look but you weren''t here. I just came in a few minutes ago."


    "Really?" Jenna put down her bag and asked casually, "Don''t you know that you cannot enter a


    superior''s office as you wish? It''s very impolite to do so. Aren''t you aware of that?"


    "Erm..." Liya did not know how to respond. She knew that she was in the wrong and flushed


    crimson as she lowered her head in embarrassment. "I''m sorry, Ms. Murphy. I thought that you were


    in your office as you normally are around this time. Hence, I did not think too much when I entered."


    "Your exnation sounds usible. However, I would like to ask, don''t you need to knock on the


    door before you enter? Shouldn''t you leave at once upon realizing that nobody was in the room?"


    Jenna asked sternly. "If you don''t know the rules, I can instruct Mr. Parker to teach you."


    Jenna was about to make a call to Mr. Parker upon finishing her sentence.


    She was getting more suspicious of Liya. Something felt incredibly wrong, although she was not


    sure what it was. Nevertheless, she was concerned about Liya''s attitude and behavior.


    How could a top schr act so recklessly and enter a superior''s office without permission? It really


    seemed that she had done it on purpose. There were rules in thepany. If she didn''t reprimand


    her, incidents like this might happen again in the future.


    "Ms. Murphy, no! Please don''t sack me. Working at Richards Group has always been my dream.


    Now that my father is ill, I really need the money as my family is struggling financially. Please don''t


    drive me away, I beg you. I''m sorry for disobeying the rules. I will not do it again. Is that alright for


    you?" Out of a sudden, Liya dashed over and pleaded as she stopped her from making the call.

    Jenna was surprised. She just wanted to call Benson and instruct him to exin to her about the


    company''s rules and regtions. She didn''t mention anything about driving her away. What was


    she doing?


    Just as she was in a state of bewilderment, someone coughed and she spun around to see Hansen


    entering. He still looked furious.


    "Ms. Murphy, I beg you, don''t sack me. I will study thepany''s rules and regtions well and I


    will never defy you again. Please forgive me." Liya pleaded pitifully and held her hand. Her eyes


    brimmed with tears and anyone would have sympathized with her.


    She had her back to Hansen. There was no way that she would have noticed Hansening in.


    However, Jenna couldn''t help feeling that she was putting on an act because she knew that Hansen


    was near.


    For a moment, she was confused. Liya didn''t seem to know Hansen. She had not been in the


    company for long and she worked in thework department. Hansen rarely came over. Why was


    she acting in this manner? If she was putting on an act because Hansen was near, what made her


    think that Hansen would speak up for her?


    Everyone in thepany was aware of her rtionship with Hansen. Hence, what was the point of


    her putting on an act?


    Suddenly, she felt a lump in her throat and was feeling very ufortable. However, she could not


    wrap her head around Liya''s behavior. She heard Hansen asking, "Ms. Murphy, what happened?"


    Just as Jenna was about to respond, Liya''s action shocked her.


    As soon as she heard Hansen''s voice, she spun around as though she had found her knight in


    shining armor. Her eyes shone and she dashed over and grabbed Hansen''s suit timidly. She looked


    at him with pitiful eyes and begged him. "Hansen, help me. We have lived together for three years.


    Please ask Ms. Murphy to forgive me. I won''t repeat my mistakes. I really entered by ident and I


    meant no harm. Hansen, I beg you."


    Liya stared at Hansen with her moist and glistening eyes. She looked pathetic and was obviously in


    distress.


    She appeared to be in such a pitiful state that any man would be moved at a nce.


    However, Hansen frowned. He nced at her hand which was holding his suit and bellowed, "Let


    go of me."


    The coldness in his voice made Liya''s face turn pale. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she


    spoke dejectedly.


    "Hansen, when I was young, Miss Zoey and Norton wanted to bully me, you always helped me and


    sided with me. Now that we are all grown up, you have already forgotten about me. However, it''s


    alright. Even if you have forgotten about me, I will always remember your kindness." Liya wiped


    away her tears and choked with sobs.


    What she said startled Hansen and his mind started racing.


    To think that she knew Zoey and Norton and could even tell him their names. Besides, she


    mentioned that she had lived in Richards Manor for three years.


    Based on what she said, she should be someone he knew. After all, he grew up in Richards Manor.


    Was she that little girl?


    A woman who was ude''s mistress followed him back to Richards Manor. Vivian did not like her


    but was forced to let her stay. That little girl was the woman''s daughter. She had always been


    bullied and reprimanded by the others in the Richards family.


    He widened his eyes in surprise and he looked at her. The more he looked at her, the more he


    realized that she did look like that little girl.


    "You''re that little girl? What''s your name again?


    Was it Li..." Hansen asked in disbelief.


    "Yes, yes, Hansen, you''ve finally remembered me." Liya raised her head and looked at him with


    moist and glistening eyes. She was filled with delight and a smile appeared on her face. Tear


    streaks could still be seen on her face.


    Jenna was stunned as she stood near them. She gaped in disbelief and forgot to respond.


    It turned out that Liya was the little girl.


    Hansen understood what happened in an instant and calmed down. He said indifferently, "It


    happened so long ago when we were kids. I still remember it but I didn''t expect it to be you."


    Upon finishing his sentence, he walked past her and stopped in front of Jenna. With a wide grin, he


    said gently, "Jenna, for some reason, Liya had stayed in Richards Manor for three years. We were


    still young back then and I barely remember what happened. However, since she has mentioned it, I


    do recall something like that. Since I know her, if her mistake isn''t something severe, just forgive her


    for my sake."


    When he finished speaking, he noticed that Jenna did not respond. She was still in a daze and her


    face was pale. Heughed and stroked her face as he said gently, "Jenna, wake up. You will be


    laughed at by your employees if they see you in this manner."


    To be honest, he could understand why she was shocked, as he found it hard to believe as well.


    Logically speaking, Liya had nothing to do with the Richards family. There was no reason for him to


    help her. However, he still had some memories of his childhood. The little girl was always bullied in


    Richards Manor. Even the servants belittled her. She was always reprimanded and beaten.


    Sometimes, she was beaten till she was severely injured. He could not bear to see someone being


    bullied in that manner and had helped her a few times. However, that was all. He was never


    interested in her. It was pure nonsense.


    It wasn''t until Hansen''s hand touched her face, which was cold, that Jenna came to her senses. Her


    mind began to race.


    Liya was a cunning woman!


    Her instinct told her that Liya was sharp and was not what she seemed. Her actions proved it.


    To make matters worse, she hired her. It seemed that she had hired someone with bad intentions.


    After a long silence, Jenna smiled in exasperation. She was at a loss for words and didn''t know how


    to deal with the situation.


    "I didn''t mean to drive her away. She misunderstood me. I just wanted Mr. Parker to teach her the


    company''s rules and regtions, and how to be a good employee." Jenna calmed down and


    smiled. She said lightly, "I didn''t expect her to react so emotionally and beg for your help. Doesn''t


    she seem guilty?"


    As she spoke, Jenna sneered and faced Hansen. "As a staff member who had just started working


    in ourpany not long ago, she entered my office without my permission and peeped at the


    company''s confidential documents. Honey, shouldn''t I teach her a lesson?"


    She was brimming with confidence as she spoke. She even raised her eyebrows and her


    expression was cold.


    "She did something like that?" Hansen''s expression changed when he heard this. He shot Liya an


    icy, cold stare.


    Liya''s face grew pale and she lowered her head. In a state of panic, she exined, "Hansen, Ms.


    Murphy, I''m sorry. I did not look at the documents on purpose. I was just curious. I know my


    mistakes and I will not repeat them in the future. Please forgive me. My family is struggling to make


    ends meet right now and I don''t wish to lose this job."


    Upon finishing her sentence, she began to sob.
