Chapter 502


    "Come up with me." Hansen pulled Jenna by the arm and led her to the second floor.


    As he held her tightly by the arm, Jenna could do nothing but to follow him.


    "Where did you gost night?" After bringing her to the bedroom, Hansen pressed her onto the


    couch and asked in a slightly harsh tone.


    Why was he scolding her so severely?


    "Hansen, you should know what happenedst night, right?" When Jenna heard the displeasure in


    his voice, she felt unhappy. She was almost murdered by other people, but he was still asking her


    where she had gone the night before. Obviously, he didn''t care about her safety at all. He was not


    as good as Sergio, which saddened her.


    "Of course, I know." Hansen felt sad too. Yesterday, He had seen her bloodied face on the


    television, but he had also seen Sergio hugging her tightly in his arms.


    "Yesterday, Sergio got seriously injured from saving me. So, I repaid his kindness by staying back


    and taking care of him for a night," Jenna said very frankly, without concealing anything.


    "You repaid him?" Hansen sneered and said coldly,


    "You''re not nning to repay him with your body, are you?"


    "Hansen, what do you mean by this?" Jenna felt hurt at his words.


    "What else could I mean? Why did you go out? Couldn''t you obey my words for once?" Hansen


    growled.


    She was saved by Sergio and Sergio had gotten seriously injured in order to save her.


    Such news appeared on all media tforms that morning, causing a stir in the city. Moreover, right


    then, Hansen, Jenna, Sergio, and Liya were all over the media. Not only that, tons of reporters were


    trying to get an exclusive interview from him.


    Their family had be theughing stock of the city!


    Was this not bad enough still?


    The reason Hansen had told Jenna to go home was because he didn''t want her to get involved in


    those rumors, that she would be able to live a peaceful life, just like Marissa had. Wasn''t a life like


    that good enough? However, Jenna didn''t want to listen to him, and even went out on her own


    ord. Hansen had already expected that such dangerous things would happen. Otherwise, why


    would he have fired Jenna from the Richards Group?


    "Hansen, I left to attend to some matters. I didn''t mean to go out, if I could help it too. You would


    never know the feeling of not knowing anything." Jenna couldn''t stand Hansen''s usation. Of


    course, she knew what Hansen meant. The fact that Sergio had saved her, his wife, was a matter


    that would damage his self- esteem and reputation. However, she was the one who was being


    attacked. Where was her husband when that had happened? Right now, she was safe and fine


    again, and all he did was to shout at her for ruining his reputation.


    "What exactly do you want to know? At this point of time, as long as you obediently stay at home


    and take good care of our son, nothing will happen. Do you really not understand why I wanted you


    not to go to thepany anymore? Now that you have gone through such an incident, do you really


    still not understand?" Hansen''s tone was very harsh. He stood up and ced one hand on his waist


    and the other on his forehead.


    Jenna looked up at him in a daze.


    Had he ordered her to return home in order to protect her?


    Then, he should''ve just told her.


    Why was everyone unwilling to tell her the truth? Paul and Irvin never told her the truth as well.


    Even if the truth was cruel and harsh, she could definitely bear it, to the point that she was even


    willing to sacrifice everything for that family.


    Nheless, everyone had kept it a secret from her, which made her feel very helpless.


    Hansen sat down by Jenna''s side, when he saw her sitting there in a daze, with helpless eyes.


    Thinking of how she was almost murdered the day before, he took Jenna''s hand and asked gently,


    "Jenna, were you scared yesterday?"


    Jenna looked at Hansen''s deep and gentle eyes and nodded.


    Hansen then put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace. He then spoke


    gently.


    "Jenna, I understand what you''re thinking. You want to stand with me and face this disaster together


    with me, and you want the Richards Group to get through this crisis smoothly, don''t you?"


    He whispered softly and caressed her face gently.


    "Yes." Jenna solemnly nodded her head.


    "Jenna, fighting along each other''s side doesn''t mean we both have to be in the frontlines. We can


    support each other in different ways. You are my wife. So, you can support me from the sidelines.


    Since I am the husband, I have to fight on the frontlines. You should also know howplicated the


    situation is right now, since someone is trying to harm you. Someone also tried to harm you at the


    banquet that day. You are my wife and Jerry''s mother. Therefore, I can''t let you show up in public. I


    can''t afford to expose any ws, and be taken advantage of by my enemies. That''s why I fired you.


    It''s so that I can fight with ease knowing that you''re safe at home. But not only did you not take my


    hint, you kept making a fool out of yourself, which made me constantly worry about you," Hansen


    exined gently.


    "You knew what happened at the banquet already? Someone tried to push me into theke." Jenna


    got up from his arms and looked at him in disbelief.


    "I only learnt of it from my investigation recently. I didn''t know it at that time. If I had known at that


    time, I would have definitely turned the whole banquet upside down." Hansen''s eyes were full of


    ferocity as he spoke.


    "That was why I didn''t tell you at that time. I knew that you wouldn''t be able to find the culprit, even if


    you turned the whole banquet upside down, as there were no surveince cameras. You wouldn''t


    have found any evidence at all. What''s more, if you had caused amotion at the banquet, you


    would have lost your reputation and that matter would definitely have spread throughout the whole


    city. People might assume that I was bluffing.


    After all, it''s something that''s very hard for people to believe unless we have evidence. Also, we


    might even have alerted our enemies by doing so too."


    In fact, Jenna herself was not sure whether she had been pushed by someone, due to the fact that


    she had seen nothing when she had turned her head! She even suspected that it had been an


    illusion!


    "Yeah." Hearing Jenna''s words, Hansen nodded in agreement.


    It seemed like she had already thought long and hard about these things. How could he, as her


    husband, not try even harder after this!


    "Hansen, the fact that you said you are going to marry Liya is merely a n to deceive the others,


    right? Furthermore, you''re only acting, and you don''t n to marry her at all, right?" Jenna''s ck


    and bright eyes looked at him expectantly as she asked.


    Hansen lowered his head and looked into her bright eyes. Her clear and pure eyes made his heart


    tremble a little.


    "Jenna, that''s true in theory, but if things really get to it, I have no choice but to marry her too.


    Although I''ll try my best to avoid that scenario, you still have to be mentally prepared," Hansen


    answered with some difficulty. His intuition told him that Liya wouldn''t give up easily, not to mention


    that he had already promised her.


    That was why he chose to be frank with her. He had to ensure that she was mentally prepared for


    that to happen. Otherwise, on that day, he was afraid that she would do something stupid.


    Jenna''s eyes darkened, and they even seemed to be very mysterious.


    It was still the same result, the result she didn''t want.


    Was Hansen just making up an excuse to marry another woman and enjoy a good life with many


    women?


    She closed her eyes, and her expression looked cold.


    At that time, Hansen held her up with both hands and put her on hisp. He looked at her with his


    eyes and said aggressively, "Jenna, I order you that from today onwards, you are not allowed to


    have any contact with Sergio. You''re not allowed to say even one word to him. Can you do it?


    Otherwise, I..."


    "Otherwise, you... What?" Hearing his overbearing words, Jenna raised her head. When she met


    his cold gaze, she felt a chill in an instant, and only asked after averting her gaze.


    The Richards family had always been a feudal family. Even though Jenna was the person- in-


    charge, there was still a difference in powerpared to the men. This was so that she would not


    be in conflict with the interests of the men in the family. That way, she had the final say in the family


    matters. Nevertheless, although she was the person- in- charge, her authority wouldn''t be higher


    than the men in the family, especially that of the family head. As long as Hansen or the head of the


    family spoke, she, as the person-in-charge, had to obey, no matter what. That was the irond rule


    of Richards Manor.


    As the person- in- charge, she was at best the empress and the true power was still in the hands of


    her husband, the leader of the feudal family. Normally, the men would not interfere in matters of the


    household, but right then there were rumors between Jenna and Sergio flying all over the city. This


    would vite the interests of her husband. So, naturally, he woulde and chastise her.


    Jenna had reason to believe that Hansen had abandoned thepany and rushed home that day


    to talk to her, not because of the precious night''s matters or her injury. However, it was for the fact


    that she had been seen in Sergio''s arms, which caused him to lose his reputation. Therefore, he


    came back early in the morning to reprimand and warn her.


    That day, due to the fact that she and Hansen still loved each other, and that Hansen let Jenna


    down as he was going to marry Liya, Hansen was still quite polite to her. Otherwise, he would be


    fuming at her.


    She looked at Hansen coldly. He could take a second spouse, but she couldn''t. She could only do


    housework at home, and then serve him, living the so-called peaceful life.

    It was really warm-hearted, wasn''t it?


    Was there anything else that could make her feel even more aggrieved?


    Hansen seemed to have seen through her thoughts, as well as her grievances and dissatisfaction.


    He did not exin anything, but said in an overbearing manner, "If I find out that you contacted


    Sergio in private, I will punish you. Don''t think that I won''t take action. I have never hit a woman, but


    such a thing might call for an exception."


    "So, you''re saying that you will hit me?" Jenna''s voice became louder. She didn''t care about the


    domineering attitude of the feudal family head and just red at him.


    "Don''t think that I''ll be reluctant to do so. You''re not allowed to interact with Sergio again.


    Remember this," Hansen said seriously. The fact that his wife had an ambiguous rtionship with


    another man was a really humiliating thing, and it was bringing shame to both himself and the


    Richards Group.


    "Isn''t this oppressive and overbearing?" Jenna said weakly, and her voice sounded very sad.


    "You can take it however you want. This is the family rule of Richards Manor. You must abide by it."


    Hansen ignored her feelings and repeated himself.


    The fact that his wife and Sergio had questionable interactions made him very angry.


    Jenna opened her bright eyes and red at him. Then, she took advantage of his habit of reaching


    out his hand to touch her red lips to bite down hard on his hand.
