Chapter 445


    "Jenna, it''s not what you think. I do wish to help but I don''t think that I would be much of a help.


    After all, I do not have any power." Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, Sabrina felt sorry.


    She lowered her head and stammered, as her fingers fidgeted nervously. She really wanted to help


    the Richards Group. Although she said it out of agitation, it was what she had been thinking all this


    while.


    "Who says? You can definitely be of help." Jenna shook her head and smiled. She said firmly,


    "Have you forgotten? Back then, we organized the New Year Eve''s banquet together right over


    here. It was a big sess. Although Aria stole our spotlight, we both knew that it was a result of our


    team effort. We cooperated pretty well together. Didn''t we?"


    Sabrina was stunned. She thought for a moment and her face broke into a grin.


    Her words rang true.


    "However, Jenna, this isn''t as simple as nning a grand banquet. It''s far moreplicated and a


    scheme is involved." Sabrina shook her head, not looking very confident. Besides, it seemed


    inappropriate for her to intervene in the Richards family''s matters.


    Jenna chuckled out of a sudden. "Sabrina, have you forgotten? Back then, our only focus was to


    organize a grand banquet. However, Hansen utilized that opportunity to plot a scheme against Earl


    and seeded in bringing him into custody. Hence, whether it''s a banquet or a scheme, it''s all the


    same. First of all, we must have the confidence that we can pull it off."


    When she heard what Jenna said, Sabrina stood up and was lost in thought.


    "Sabrina, I wanted to ask you. Do you know where Norton is now? Did he try to look for you?"


    Jenna suddenly changed the topic.


    She had a reason to ask her about this. There were not many men among the younger generation


    of the Richards family. Hansen and Norton were the only grandsons of Vivian. Although Vivian was


    forced to drive Norton away, she was filled with anguish when she did so. Jenna was well aware of


    it.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Now that the Richards family was in trouble and Vivian''s health was deteriorating, she had every


    reason to find Norton and bring him back to the Richards Group.


    A family needs to remain united in difficult times like this.


    Now that the family was facing a crisis, Norton ought to return to help, or at least, take advantage of


    this opportunity to achieve something. After all, he was still part of the Richards family. Nothing


    could change that. His return would also bring joy to Vivian, who was severely ill, and fulfill her wish.


    "Jenna, when I left the country, Norton came to find me at the airport but I rejected him. After that, I


    had never seen him again. However, from what I know, he remained abroad." Sabrina understood


    the importance of the current situation and said bitterly.


    Back then, he swore to be sessful and make others look up to him. If that was the case, he


    probably hadn''t returned.


    Moreover, she had a hunch that he was living somewhere not far from her. There were a few times


    when she caught a glimpse of his figure as she walked out of the school gates. However, once she


    looked carefully, he had already disappeared. Although she could not say for sure, her instincts told


    her that she was right.


    "Oh, do you happen to know which city he is in?" Jenna was on cloud nine upon hearing what she


    said and inquired immediately.


    To her disappointment, Sabrina shook her head.


    This made Jenna a little discouraged, but she decided that she would go abroad as well in the next


    few days. After all, she had to check on the situation over there, after the cars had been recalled


    from the market.


    "Sabrina, how long are you going to stay in A city this time around?" Jenna inquired. She sighed. If


    only Norton hadn''t chosen the wrong path and they had been married instead, what a blessing it


    would be.


    If that was the case, both of them could protect the Richards Group together. Although the Richards


    Group belonged to Trevor, as long as she was willing to do so, she couldn''t see why they could not


    work together in thepany. However, this was no longer possible.


    What was done was done. The misdeeds that Norton had done could not be erased.


    Both of them held hands as they strolled leisurely along the path.


    "Jenna, Sergio''s father wants me to be their daughter- in-w." After a while, Sabrina spoke


    hesitatingly. Her voice was so soft that it was barely audible. However, Jenna heard what she said.


    Jenna merely replied, "Oh."


    Sergio was the son of one of the most promising politicians in Capital City. Sabrina''s father was an


    important figure as well. They had simr family backgrounds. It was only normal that Yadriel


    wanted an arranged marriage between the two families. It was also natural that General Delia would


    agree to the arranged marriage. Hence, Jenna was not surprised at all.


    "Jenna, what do you think of Sergio?" Sabrina noticed that Jenna was not surprised at all and


    epted the news calmly. After all, she also felt that it was a sound arrangement. She was already


    25 years old. General Delia had insisted that she return during her summer break for the marriage.


    Her thoughts of Sergio?


    Jenna thought for a moment and asked, "Sabrina, do you have any feelings towards Sergio?"


    Sabrina''s eyes widened in shock. She shook her head immediately after a moment''s thought.


    "Jenna, I have never thought of marrying Sergio. I don''t really know him, let alone have feelings


    towards him. It''s all so sudden."


    A slow smile worked its way across Jenna''s face and into her eyes.


    "Are you kidding? Sergio is a remarkable man. He has good looks and is pretty charming. He is like


    the Prince Charming that many women yearn for. His Dad is about to run for the State Governor''s


    position. If he wins, their family would be powerful. Sergio''s future would be bright. If you marry him,


    you will live a life of luxury." Although she was teasing her, her expression was serious. What she


    said was true. Sergio did have many strengths.


    Sabrina''s face fell when she heard what she said.


    "Jenna, you know as well that I value rtionships over a person''s background. I want someone


    who truly loves and cares about me. Someone whom I can talk to and rely on for the rest of my life.


    I don''t want someone who only desires power and has great ambitions. Sergio is pretty outstanding,


    but I feel that he and his family value power too much, which was why I did not agree to the


    marriage immediately," she said softly. There was a hint of exasperation in her voice.


    "Sabrina, you have truly grown up and be more mature. You finally know what you want."


    What Sabrina said surprised Jenna and she gasped in admiration at once.


    She was really thrilled to see Sabrina thinking so rationally. Although Sergio was outstanding, he


    was not suitable for Sabrina. That was the key message.


    Jenna approved of what Sabrina said. She was on the right track.


    "Jenna, I just said what was on my mind. But to be honest, I''m at a loss as to what to do as well.


    Considering my family background, my Dad will never let me marry someone with a lower social


    status. Hence, I don''t have much of a choice. Besides, I''m already 25 years old. When Yadriel


    proposed the idea, my father agreed right away. I bet that Yadriel was aware of my father''s


    concerns as well and he utilized it to his advantage. After all, I was previously engaged to Norton


    and everyone knows that." Sabrina lowered her head and sighed. A look of exasperation crossed


    her face.


    "Sabrina, have you ever loved someone after all these years? For example, a ssmate?" Jenna


    examined her. She recalled that she had fallen in love with Hansen when they were just kids. What


    about Sabrina? She was already 25 years old. Could it be that she had never loved anyone before?


    Jenna''s question caught Sabrina off guard. She pondered the matter and she looked more


    confused than ever. After a long silence, she shook her head.


    "s, silly girl. You are so outstanding. Don''t worry, you will definitely find a guy who loves you and


    adores you. Don''t worry." Jennaforted her in a soft voice.


    Sabrina lowered her head and pondered for a while. She then raised her head suddenly and her


    face lit up with joy as an idea crossed her mind. She asked, "Jenna, is Sergio in charge of the


    Richards Group''s case?"


    "Yes."


    "This means he will remain in the Richards Group until the truth is out, am I right?" Sabrina


    continued.


    "I think so." Jenna nodded and answered.


    "Well, Jenna, I will stay and keep youpany. I will do my best to help the Richards Group survive


    the crisis. I already thought of an idea on how to persuade my father." Sabrina had a smug smile on


    her face. Her smile widened. It showed off her dimples and it made her look very cute and lively.


    "What do you mean?" Jenna looked at her with a smile.


    "It''s very simple. I can just tell my father that Sergio is handling the Richards Group''s case and I


    want to get to know him more before I give him an answer. Anyway, once the matter has been


    resolved, I will give him my answer. Besides, marriage should not be taken lightly. It will be a perfect


    opportunity for me to see if we are suitable together before I make a decision. But the most


    important thing is, it would be a perfect excuse for me to stay and help the Richards Group during


    troubling times like this." Upon saying that, Sabrina was ecstatic. "Don''t worry, Jenna. Since Sergio


    is in charge of this case, I will try my best to make him prove thepany''s innocence. After all, his


    father is going to run for the State Governor''s position, he won''t dare to offend my father just yet.


    You guys need not worry about him."


    Upon finishing her sentence, a look of joy and satisfaction lit up her eager face. Sabrina was feeling


    very proud of herself foring up with such a splendid idea. It was a brilliant idea, especially to


    her. It was the best option she had right now.


    "Thank you." Jenna nodded and held Sabrina''s hand tightly, shing her a smile.


    However, would they be able to prove the Richards Group''s innocence? Jenna was skeptical.


    "Jenna, I was cracking my head, trying toe up with an idea to persuade my Dad. Now I finally


    have an excuse!" Sabrina''s smile broadened into a grin and she held Jenna''s hand tightly. "Don''t


    worry. Let me stay and help you protect the Richards Group. Let''s survive this together. I have


    always believed that justice will prevail. Evil cannot triumph over good. As long as we have done


    nothing wrong, everything will work out eventually."


    "Yes, you are right." What Sabrina said inspired Jenna and put her in a good mood. She beamed


    from ear to ear. "Now that I have your support, I feel much more confident."


    "Okay, let''s work hard together." Sabrina shed her a smile and they held each other''s hands


    tightly.


    At this moment, the sun was shining brightly over the horizon, lighting up the golden roof of


    Richards Manor. The building was shining brightly, surrounded by a dazzling, golden light. Besides,


    thepound was full of dense greenery. It was truly a breathtaking scene!
