Chapter 525


    As soon as Jenna returned to the Ink Garden''s office, she saw Maud hurriedlying in with a


    panicked look on his face. It was obvious that he had something important to ask her.


    "Madam, I have something to tell you." As soon as Maud entered the room, he respectfully reported


    to Jenna.


    "What''s the matter?" Jenna asked with a smile, prompting him not to be so anxious.


    "It''s like this, Madam." Maud wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Yesterday, Liya came to find me and


    said that she''s moving into Richards Manor. Since she insisted that it was Mr. Richards'' orders, I


    had no choice but to arrange amodation for her."


    Maud spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that Jenna would be provoked.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Jenna just replied a faint ''oh'', as a hint of imperceptible pain shed in her eyes, saying tly, "I


    already know about this matter. Just follow Mr. Richards'' orders."


    "Yes, Madam. I''ve already arranged amodation for her ording to the rules of Richards


    Manor." Seeing that Jenna did not have any obvious reactions, Maud rxed a


    lot. "There''s one more matter."


    Speaking of that, Maud''s face became very uneasy. He had never imagined that Sergio woulde


    to Richards Manor that day as well and ask him to arrange a ce for him to stay.


    He truly was making things difficult for him.


    That was why he hastily ran over and met Jenna for instructions when he saw that she had


    returned.


    "Mr. Xanthe from Capital City is here as well. He also said that he would be staying in Richards


    Manor," Maud said with great strain.


    Sergio was an official who was investigating the Richards Group right then, and it was clear why he


    wanted to stay at Richards Manor. That really put Maud in a dilemma and made him worried. So, he


    came to consult the head of the household in a hurry.


    Upon hearing that, Jenna was surprised as well. What was going on? Sergio was going to stay in


    Richards Manor too? What was that all about?


    Just as she was caught by surprise, she heard Mercy''s voice drifting in from the outside. "Mr.


    Xanthe, thank you foring to visit Old Madam. I would like to thank you on her behalf."


    Then, Sergio''s faint voice rang, "It''s alright. I need to stay here for a while because of official


    matters. Where is the head of the household? Tell her toe and meet me."


    Upon hearing that, Jenna grew impatient and walked out of the office.


    "Sergio, why have youe to Richards Manor?" she asked Sergio as she walked out with a


    serious expression.


    A charming smile appeared on Sergio''s face when he heard her voice.


    "Jenna, I happen to have something to discuss with you. Why don''t you choose a suitable ce for


    us to talk?"


    "Well then,e to my office." Jenna couldn''t understand Sergio''s behaviour at that moment. If the


    Richards Group was guilty of leaking trade secrets, then no one would say anything if he went to


    the Richards Group to investigate, but how could he move into Richards Manor so tantly?


    "Jenna, it seems that your life in Richards Manor is quite good, huh? You''re living quite a luxurious


    life I see." Sergio inspected her office when he went in, sat down on the couch elegantly and


    crossed his legs with a vivid smile on his face.


    Jenna''s face had quite an unpleasant look.


    "Sergio, for private reasons, I''m grateful to you because you saved me. But thinking from the


    business perspective, I don''t think you moving into Richards Manor is the correct thing to do. No


    matter how guilty the Richards family is, it shouldn''t be to the point of confiscating Richards Manor,


    right?"


    When she returned that day, her traditional husband demanded her not to talk to Sergio anymore.


    For the sake of her husband''s dignity, she nned not to meet Sergio again in the future, but she


    didn''t expect him to move into Richards Manor. Great, now they would meet each other often.


    Wouldn''t things be very difficult for her?


    Sergio leaned his back against the couch and looked up at her with his eyebrows lifted. She had a


    serious expression on her small face. It was obvious that she was critical from the way she looked


    at him. Sergio could not help but to sigh softly.


    "Jenna, Hansen''s going to take a second wife soon, but you''re still trying to protect him. It''s really


    rare to have a woman act like this. It''s also because of this that I cherish you even more. I can''t bear


    to hurt you, and I''ll even take risks protecting you, even if it means that I''ll die. However, the fact that


    I can''t get even the slightest bit of pity from you makes me feel quite sad." Sergio sighed and looked


    into Jenna''s cold eyes, feeling veryplicated.


    Jenna''s face changed slightly.


    "Jenna, you also know the Richards Group is suspected to be guilty of a serious crime. Even until


    now, we have yet to find any substantial evidence. In addition to that, I have also received a report


    saying that the matter had something to do with Richards Manor in recent days, which caused my


    senior executives to press on this issue even more. I have no choice but to move into Richards


    Manor to investigate the matter, and try to find the actual culprit as soon as possible," Sergio said


    with a helpless expression.


    Jenna felt stuffy and ufortable upon hearing that. She said coldly, "Sergio, I know very well


    whether the Richards Group is guilty or not. Youing to Richards Manor to investigate is too


    bizarre, and everyone knows that you''re doing it on purpose. The fact that the culprit hasn''t been


    identified yet only shows how ipetent the Public Security Department is. So, do you really think


    it''s appropriate for you to move into someone else''s house like this?"


    Sergio lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath.


    "Jenna, why do I have the feeling that you think I had deliberatelye to disturb Richards Manor?


    Am I really so unbearable?"


    As he said that, a trace of pain shed across his eyes, and his gaze became a little peculiar. Jenna


    couldn''t see through his intentions in the midst of all the smoke, and it made her feel extremely


    complicated.


    "Cough, cough." Jenna was choked by the cigarette smoke and began to cough. She covered her


    mouth, as her face turned red and purple because of the coughing.


    "I''m sorry." Sergio suddenly realized that Jenna didn''t like the smell of cigarettes. So, he


    immediately put out the cigarette, stood up, and walked towards her, saying, "Jenna, are you okay?


    You know I''m moving in for your own good, right?"


    As he spoke, he reached out his hand and was about to pat her back to relieve the coughing.


    "Stop." A loud shout came from behind. In an instant, Sergio''s arm was grabbed by arge and


    strong hand. Due to the fact that it was his left hand, he couldn''t muster any strength and could only


    let the strong hand grasp onto it. Nevertheless, Sergio remained calm, as he knew who it was


    without even thinking.


    He was not worried at all. In fact, he even had a faint smile on his face as he teased him. "Mr.


    Richards, is there a need to be so angry?"


    "Sergio Xanthe, you''re shameless and despicable!" Anger was written all over Hansen''s face. If he


    came just a littleter, that vile hand would have caressed Jenna''s back. It was something he


    couldn''t ept.


    "Hey, Mr. Richards. You sure have a good memory. Didn''t I say that I''ll be moving in yesterday?


    Have you already forgotten?" he said casually.


    "I didn''t forget. I just happened toe looking for you today." Hansen''s expression was cold, as he


    said chillingly, "Sergio, I know exactly what tricks you have in mind. You''re using the excuse of


    investigating the Richards Group''s crime to move shamelessly into Richards Manor. Let me tell you,


    I won''t let things go your way."


    Applying a little strength to his hand, Sergio was in so much pain that his expression changed.


    "Hansen, you actually dare to harm a government official. Aren''t you afraid of adding more charges


    to yourself?" Sergio was a soldier. So, of course, he wouldn''t lose when ites to their auras. He


    went to Richards Manor that day in his official uniform. Government officials usually never wore


    uniforms unless they were handling cases. Therefore, he was trying to show the kind of authority


    that entitled him to be there. Since the wounds on his right arm hadn''t healed yet, he couldn''t do


    anything to fight back. So, he used his authority as a public official right then to scold Hansen in a


    low voice.


    Jenna''s expression changed. Of course, she understood what he meant.


    Hansen''s face was as cold as ice, and his hand was still gripping Sergio''s hand tightly. The stern


    glint in his eyes could make anyone shiver in fear.


    "Hansen, we''ll talk it out." Jenna was worried that Hansen would really hurt Sergio in a fit of anger.


    After all, Sergio went there as a government official, and to bear the crime of interfering with official


    affairs wasn''t a good thing either. She hurriedly persuaded Hansen, hoping that he could calm


    down.


    Hansen then loosened his grip.


    Sergio smiled faintly as he slowly stretched out his hand and rubbed the area that was gripped by


    Hansen, saying sarcastically, "Mr. Richards, why are you as easily offended as a three-year-old? I


    told you that I''m going to move into Richards Manor. You agreed to it, did you not? Now that I''m


    here, not only is the head of household not aware of this matter, you still treated me with such an


    attitude."


    "Hmph!" Hansen snorted coldly. His face was expressionless, and his gaze was sharp.


    "Jenna, go to the Green Jade Garden to take care of Jerry." He didn''t even turn around to face her


    and simply ordered her in a very dominating


    manner.


    Jenna understood his intention. He was trying to get her out of the way. So, she immediately agreed


    and went out obediently.


    When she walked out of the door, she looked back at Hansen, and the worry in her eyes was


    obvious.


    "Tell me, what''s the matter?" Sergio asked coldly. After Jenna left, the atmosphere between those


    two men immensely tensed up again.


    Sergio saw that the sharpness in Hansen''s eyes had dissipated slightly, and it was impossible to tell


    the changes in his emotions, but what Hansen said shocked Sergio.


    "Mr. Xanthe, look carefully. We now have sufficient evidence to prove that the matter regarding the


    Richards Group leaking trade secrets has nothing to do with Jenna. Zoe is the one behind


    everything, as she had schemed and framed Jenna. I think Mr. Xanthe should have a good look at it


    now. It''s time to put an end to it." After Jenna left, Hansen went straight to the point. He ced the


    evidence on the table and looked at Sergio with his sharp eyes.


    Sergio nced at him suspiciously.


    "Is this the evidence showing that Jenna was framed?" he asked in disbelief.


    "You can see it for yourself." Hansen said disdainfully, "How can my wife be so silly as to do these


    things?"


    Sergio came back to his senses after a moment of shock. With a smile on his face, he took the


    wooden box, opened it, and took a look inside.
