Chapter 467


    The noise upstairs rmed everyone on the first floor.


    When Hansen stomped down the stairs, Jerry was standing at the end of it, staring at him.


    Hansen was stunned. Looking at his young and tender face, the pain in his heart surged forth like a


    tidal wave.


    "Jerry," he called out, bending down to pick him up and kissed him on the cheek.


    "Dad, did you quarrel with Mom?" This was the first time Jerry had seen his Mom and Dad having a


    fight. His face was full of fear and sadness, and he asked timidly.


    "It''s nothing. Jerry, don''t simply guess. Dad loves both Mom and you the most. How can I bear to


    quarrel with her?" Jerry''s question made Hansen feel very ufortable, and his eyes turned red


    in an instant.


    Couldn''t this woman listen to him obediently? She was such a smart person, but she insisted on


    being snubbed. Wives can be extremely emotional, and in some aspects, they can be particrly


    helpless.


    "No, Dad. I''ve seen Mom crying for the past few days. You haven''t been home for a long time, and I


    haven''t seen you kiss her. You must be bullying Mom." Jerry felt the sudden urge to cry and he


    seemed as if he was about to start sobbing. "I''m a man. I have to protect Mom. I can''t let others


    bully her, including you, Dad. You can''t bully Mom."


    Jerry behaved in a righteous manner. Even though his eyes were red, he did not cry out loud.


    Hansen was hugging him, but he was thinking of his mother and wanted to support her.


    Hansen smiled and a trace of pain shed across his eyes. Caressing his little head, he said


    affectionately, "Jerry is indeed a man. You know that you need to protect Mom. So, I have the


    responsibility to protect you and Mom too, right?"


    "Yes." When Jerry heard Hansen, it made a lot of sense to him. So, he hurriedly nodded his head to


    show his agreement.


    "That''s right. Jerry, be a good boy and stay at home with Mom. When I''m done with my work, I''ll


    bring you and Mom out for a walk. Jerry, you must behave obediently and listen to Mom, alright?"


    "Oh, okay." Jerry blinked his eyes with an innocent expression on his face as he nodded his head.


    Hansen was pleased when he saw Jerry yacting to be sensible. He smiled at once, and kissed


    his sad and lonely face. His heart felt like a


    knife was piercing through it.


    "I have to leave first. Go upstairs and stay with Mom. You must cheer her up." Hansen carried Jerry


    upstairs and put him down on the floor. One could vaguely hear Jenna sobbing in the bedroom.


    His heart was twisted with pain, and he dared not to linger around any longer. He was afraid that he


    couldn''t bear to leave home by then. So, he immediately turned around and walked out resolutely.


    Jenna, if they would just end up poor and lose some of their wealth, it would be nothing. Even if he


    lost the entire Richards Group, he wouldn''t mind and would choose to stay by her side. However, it


    was not like that at all. She was young and in her prime. How could he bear to see her being


    incarcerated with a false usation? At that time, how could he continue to live?


    This won''t absolutely happen.


    "No matter what, I must save you and clear you of your false usations, so that our family can live


    a happy life." He thought, with renewed determination.


    "It''s just that you have to face reality. No matter how unbearable it gets, you have to learn to endure


    it. I could only carry on, even if you have


    misunderstood me."


    At night, the lights were brightly lit.


    John came over in a hurry.


    "John, how was it? Did that woman believe you?" Hansen''s gaze was dark as he asked hopefully.


    John had a hasty and doubtful look on his face. "Mr. Richards, that d*mn cunning woman is


    extremely suspicious. She witnessed how Mrs. Richards had suffered. I think she has slightly


    believed in it, but apparently not all of it. There were severalmercialnd titles that had been


    taken over by her today. It seems that she is very ambitious and has exhausted all means avable


    to her."


    Hansen listened quietly. He clutched his hand tightly and his gaze was grim, as if it was filled with


    dark clouds.


    "Mr. Richards, that woman''s hatred towards our Richards Group is really unreasonable. It seems


    that her purpose is to destroy the Richards Group. She is really ill-hearted." John frowned and did


    not understand her at all.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Hansen''s eyes fell on the heavy traffic outside and he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel,


    saying indifferently, "Will I, Hansen, fall into the hands of a woman? What a joke. Since she had


    been nning all of this, it will certainlye to us sooner orter. Bring it on. I''m happy to oblige.


    But her tactics are beyond my imagination and it had been nned and controlled by herself since


    a few years ago. You must secretly observe her. Once she tries to take any action, you must let me


    know immediately. This time, I mustpletely remove this parasite and bring peace back to our


    family."


    John''s expression was solemn as he nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, Mr. Richards. I know what


    to do." Thinking about that, he asked worriedly, "It''s just that, Mr. Richards, seeing how the Richards


    Group''s properties are being taken away, bit by bit, by her..."


    "You don''t have to worry about that. When money is lost, we should just let it go. If I lose it, it means


    that it doesn''t belong to me, or that I don''t deserve to own it." Hansen waved his hand and said


    without hesitation. He recalled Jenna''s pained expression, and his heart ached.


    He barely paid any attention to money. So, why would he care about all those properties? Besides,


    as the saying went, everything has a price and it was all about whether one was willing to pay for it.


    If she wanted it, he would give it to her.


    When John heard that, he understood what Hansen meant. He was making concessions in order to


    make advances, luring the enemy into the depths, and then conquering them all in one fell swoop.


    Hisposure, elegance, and calmness soothed John''s uneasy feelings. A slight smile appeared


    on his face.


    Would Mr. Richards, who was in control of his heart, be led by the nose by a woman?


    It didn''t seem possible.


    It was just that his wife might have to suffer a little.


    The Grand Eagle had been investigating the incident rted to the luxury cars. It took them a long


    time to find out that all of this had something to do with Zoe of the Sky Sword Group.


    It turned out that this woman was nning to destroy the Richards Group.


    Although she was a woman, theplexity of her tactics was far beyond their imagination. During


    this period, Zoe had already colluded with everyone who might be useful to her and set up a trap


    for the Richards Group that was deep and subtle.


    The vicious woman actually dared to nt all the usations rted to the luxury car incident on


    Jenna. Her intentions were incredibly vile.


    Since she was holding onto his weak spot, Hansen did not dare make a move.


    So far, there was no strong evidence that could overthrow these deliberate cements. All of the


    evidence was in Zoe''s hands.


    As long as these usations were confirmed, the day Jenna will be sent to prison would get closer


    and closer.


    This made him anxious and worried.


    How could his wife, Jerry''s mother, be framed like that? The root of all this was the hatred Zoe


    had for The Richards Group.


    As long as Sergio or Zoe submitted the evidence, no one would be able to save Jenna once the


    usation was proven to be true.


    This was something Hansen was more aware of than anyone else.


    Furthermore, if the usation couldn''t be cleared, Jenna would have to bear it for a lifetime, and


    would not be able to have a foothold in society in the future.


    Fortunately, Sergio had some feelings for Jenna. So, he was not in a hurry to file the case. Hansen


    clearly knew what this man thought about his wife and that was the reason Hansen was still


    tolerating him now.


    Thinking of this, Hansen''s confidence dissipated, and the annoyance and irritation on his face were


    evident.


    Hansen did not know what Zoe needed and what she wanted to achieve.


    If it was possible, he was willing to exchange all of the Richards Group shares with Zoe for the


    evidence used to frame Jenna. However, Zoe behaved in a very forting manner. She was


    currently the mastermind behind all this and had yete out to the front. So, he couldn''t confront


    andmunicate with her at all.


    After John left, Hansen collected himself, sorted out his thoughts, and took out his phone to dial


    Liya''s number.


    "Hansen, where are you? It''s almost time." Liya asked anxiously on the other end of the line.


    Hansen smiled faintly and replied in a gentle manner, "Liya, get yourself downstairs and wait for me.


    I''ll be right there."


    "Alright." Liya''s heart was filled with joy.


    In a romantic couple''s dining room of the Sky Blue Restaurant, flirtatiousness and the aroma of red


    wine intertwined with each other, creating an intoxicating and dreamy atmosphere.


    "Hansen, I''ve looked up to you since I was young," Liya said in admiration. After watching the


    performance, Liya was not satisfied. She dragged Hansen along to the Sky Blue Restaurant, using


    her delicate hand to pick up the winess in front of her, and handed it to Hansen.


    Hansen squinted his eyes. On his face, there was an intoxicating smile.


    "Is that true? I really didn''t know," he said with interest as his slender fingers picked up the wine


    ss on the table in front of him, clinked it with Liya''s, and took a sip of it. The smile on his face was


    dazzling, which showed that he was very interested in what she said.


    "So, Hansen, I can do anything for you." Liya''s petite face was stained with a reddish glow and was


    very charming.


    "Liya, you''re so nice to me." Hansen curled up his lips and leaned his face closer to hers, breathing


    out hot air as he asked, "So, tell me. What do you want to do for me?"


    Liya''s eyes were drifting and in a state of drunkenness, while her pinkish cheeks showed that she


    was shy. She touched her chin with her finger, pouted her red lips, and said coyly, "Hansen, you''re


    being naughty. You know what I mean."


    Hanse looked at her face before withdrawing his gaze. He chuckled and shook his head. "I really


    don''t know."


    "What do you think of my performance all this time?" Liya''s lips pouted higher and higher. "Hansen,


    because of the Richards Group, I''ve been keeping youpany day and night. I''vepletely


    regarded the Richards Group as my own home."


    What she said was true. Wasn''t she working overtime with him everyday for the past few days?


    Hansen burst intoughter, all of a sudden. He poured a full ss of wine and brought it to her,


    saying in a straightforward manner, "Liya, it''s been hard on you during this period of time. Come, let


    me propose a toast to you."


    Only then did a sweet smile appear on Liya''s face. She also lifted the wine ss in her hand.


    "Thank you, Hansen."


    She said softly, picked up the winess, gulped it down, and looked at Hansen with her charming


    eyes. Only until Hansen had finished the full ss of red wine did she show her pearly white teeth


    and said with a smile, "Hansen, I have something to tell you today."
