Chapter 452
"Tell me first. How''s the situation over there?" she asked deliberately.
"Don''t worry. All the evidence now points towards Jenna. She will probably go to jail soon." Liya
raised her eyebrows and her smile was smug. She blushed, looking very dazzling and captivating.
Zoe nced at her. A wry smile briefly touched her lips. There was a gleam in her eyes.
"Liya, your chance hase." She narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her gaze remained fixed upon
her and she assumed an air of indifference. Her expression remained ambiguous.
For a moment, Liya''s heart pounded rapidly and she flushed scarlet.
She had to be Hansen''s wife. She wanted nothing more than to lead a decent life. It was her
dream to be able to spend extravagantly and buy everything that she wanted. She wished to
be wealthy. Growing up, she had always struggled to make ends meet and she did not wish to
spend her life in poverty again.
Of course, she was not going to be used by Zoe. She would not be her pawn and she would not
sacrifice herself for her revenge.
Hence, she hade up with a n.
"Thank you, Zoe, for everything that you have done. If there''s nothing else that you would like to
speak to me about, then I will take my leave first." She looked at her with her moist and shining
eyes. A sweet smile was stered across her face.
Zoe rapped her fingers on the table and narrowed her eyes. However, she masked her emotions
and shed her a smile.
Her lips held a faint smile as she nodded.
Liya''s slender figure spun around gracefully and then she left.
Her dress moved with her like a second skin, draping her curves and swishing silently around her
legs. The scent of perfume wafted towards Zoe.
Zoe watched as Liya disappeared from sight. The smile on her face vanished in an instant and it
was reced with an icy stare that could send a chill down anyone''s spine.
It was almost noon when Jenna arrived in A City. She did not even have time to return to Richards
Manor. Instead, she headed straight for the Richards Group headquarters.
Although she had missed Jerry terribly, she tried her best to suppress the urge to see him at the
moment. She longed for Hansen and wanted to see him right away. They had been apart for three
days. Although only three days had passed, it seemed like an eternity to her.
The employees of thepany were heading out for lunch.
"s, I sympathize with Ms. Murphy. She hasn''t been the vice president of thepany for long,
but now, she has been removed from the position."
"Yes, she is now the secretary. How would she be able to bear the news!"
"I know right. She has been doing her best to protect thepany. However, now that thepany
is in trouble, she''s the first to bear the consequences. Mr. Richards is really too heartless."
"My curiosity is piqued. Mr. Richards and Mrs. Richards have always been madly in love. I never
expected that Mr. Richards would be seduced by Liya in such a short time. Look at how things are
right now. Ms. Murphy might even be forced to sign the divorce papers. Men are really unreliable."
"Thinking about it, I''m truly disappointed. I heard that Mr. Richards once begged Ms. Murphy to
return. He spent 500 million dors on their wedding ceremony. Their love for each other made me
believe in true love again and all of us were envious of Mrs. Richards. Look how things had turned
out. I''m not going to believe in true love again."
"In conclusion, a woman should never marry a wealthy man. It may seem grand and everything but
it''s actually a miserable life."
"By the way, have you heard? Frederic, an important figure in the finance and banking industry, has
a mistress. It is rumored that he brought the mistress home, even though his wife was against it and
made a big fuss about it. Incidents like these are starting to happen in A City and it''s a bad sign.
Back then, the men of prestigious families only dared to flirt with women and have an affair in
secret, but now, they can do it openly and even bring them home. This will serve a huge blow to
their wives."
"s, a woman''s fate is indeed painful. How unfair this is to us!"
A group of female employees walked down the path as they chatted. They did not notice Jenna,
who was standing silently in the corner of the parking lot.
The sound of them chattering soon faded into the distance.
Jenna had just parked her car in the underground parking lot. She was about to turn around the
corner when she saw the employees of thepany walking down the path, heading towards the
elevator to go to the canteen for lunch. She overheard the conversation between the employees.
Stunned, she remained rooted to the spot, at a loss at what she should do.
Were they referring to her just now?
What were they saying? Why did they say that?
All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
She must have misheard it. She thought silently to herself.
Flustered, she headed straight for the VIP elevator. She was currently at the underground parking
lot. From there, she could take the VIP elevator up to the 88th floor where her office was located.
However, she seldom took the elevator from there, as it was pitch-ck and creepy. The darkness
always made her hairs stood on end and she found it hard to catch her breath over there.
She detested this feeling.
Therefore, she would rather walk to the hall and take the elevator from there, as it was not dark and
creepy over there. However, she did not want to see anyone else anymore. All she wanted to do
was to see Hansen immediately and demand an exnation, to put her heart at ease.
The elevator went all the way up and stopped at the 88th floor.
As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she walked towards the front desk. She could sense that
the atmosphere was tense.
Yuri was sitting at the front desk. Upon seeing her, she stood up in a panic. However, she did not
greet her cordially as usual with a smile. Instead, she seemed to be at a loss about at to do.
Looking abashed, she nced at her. Her eyes were filled with concern, sympathy and grief.
Jenna''s heart sank right away.
"How is the situation in thepany for the past few days?" The tense atmosphere made her even
more uneasy. Her instincts told her that things were bad.
Yuri had always been at ease in front of her. This was the first time she saw her acting so nervous.
Hence, her gaze remained fixed upon her face at the moment.
"Ms. Murphy... Well... Everything is fine," Yuri stammered. "Mr. Richards has been focusing on the
development of the other industries. Everything seems to be alright now. Thepany is operating
as usual. However, regarding the car industry..."
She didn''t speak further. In fact, there was no need for her to do so. Jenna understood the situation
very well.
Thepany was done for good when it came to the car industry.
"Well, where is Mr. Richards?" Since thepany was doing fine, why did she have a bad feeling
about this? Feeling uneasy, she asked right away.
"Mr. Richards." Yuri averted her gaze and lowered her head.
"Tell me, where is he?" Jenna recalled that Hansen had not called her for the past three days when
she was abroad. She thought that he was busy at work just like her. Hence, she did not take it to
heart.
However, the look on Yuri''s face shocked her. Fear clutched at her throat and she nced towards
the direction of Hansen''s office. The door was closed. It was apparent that he was not in the office.
"Ms. Murphy, you..." Yuri parted her lips. Just as she was about to speak, the door to Jenna''s office
swung open abruptly. Sabrina who had probably heard her voice dashed over, looking very furious.
She ran over and seized her arm, pulling her into the office.
"Sabrina, what''s wrong?" Jenna was dragged into the office towards the couch. Sabrina was
holding her hand so tightly that she grimaced in pain. Jenna could not wrap her head around the
matter and she was puzzled by Sabrina''s behavior.
"I''m so pissed." Sabrina stamped her feet as burning anger overcame her. "Tell me, why did you
have to go aboard? Why must you be too responsible and worry about the situation over there?
Great! You have only been away for three days and Liya has already seeded in seducing
Hansen. What are you going to do?"
Her cheeks flushed with anger and her jaw thrust forward in indignation. She red at Jenna,
annoyed that she allowed this to happen.
It wasn''t until a moment ago when Hansen walked out of his office together with Liya, apparently in
high spirits that the realization dawned on her. Hansen had really fallen for Liya. He even showed
off his love so openly. How infuriating!
Jenna was dumbfounded when she heard what Sabrina said. Shocked, she recalled the
conversation between the employees that she overheard a moment ago. She stared at Sabrina in
disbelief. With a nk look on her face, she asked, "Sabrina, what are you saying? I don''t seem to
understand."
"Of course you don''t. I find it hard to believe as well, what more you. However, this is the truth!"
Sabrina smacked her palm onto her forehead and sighed. After a pause, she said in a clear voice,
"The truth is, your husband has fallen for another woman. Yet, you are still so naive and know
nothing about it."
After saying that, Sabrina said indignantly, "I knew that Liya was up to no good. She has those
captivating eyes. I hate them at first nce. Look at her, always acting so pitiful and innocent to
gain everyone''s sympathy. How disgusting! But what can we do? Men love women like her. Jenna,
why are you so foolish?"
Sabrina felt sorry for her. She hated herself for not being able to do anything, despite being in the
office all this while. To make matters worse, she was not even aware of it. If she hadn''t seen it with
her own eyes, she would not even believe it.
Liya was clearly not someone easy to deal with. It seemed that Jenna was in trouble again.
Jenna''s mind was in a mess but no matter how lost she felt, she understood what Sabrina was
implying. Her heart ached terribly and she ced her hand against her chest. All she felt was pain
and agony. For some inexplicable reason, she felt constant knots and unease in her stomach and it
hurt terribly. She grimaced in pain as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her face grew pale in
an instant.
Would Hansen fall for someone like Liya? They had gone through so much together. Would he be
seduced by someone like her?
It was impossible.
She shook her head.
"Where''s Hansen? Where''s he?" She stood up abruptly and wanted to see him in person. "I won''t
believe it."
She would not believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes. She was not going to believe what the
others said.
"Jenna." Sabrina tried to stop her. She said anxiously, "Why don''t you believe me despite the
circumstances? It''s the truth. Let me be frank. Hansen walked out together with Liya from his office
just a moment ago. I saw it with my own eyes. They have gone out together and they looked just
like a couple."
