Chapter 532
"Thank you." After Sadiva thanked him, he gulped down the ss of wine and sighed faintly. "s,
you guys won''t know how hard it is to be the mayor. Only someone who had been a mayor before
knows the hardships of being one."
Hansen blinked his eyes and smiled faintly when he heard that.
"Mr. Garver, we are all people of A City. If there is anything that I can help you with, then feel free to
speak up," Hansen said sincerely.
"Alright." Sadiva was waiting for him to say that. Thus, he immediately agreed. "To be honest, the
Regional Games is a great opportunity, due to the fact that the whole world''s attention will be
focused here. And people from around the world wille to A City as well. This is a very good
thing for A City, especially the economy of A City. But no matter how amazing it is, I still have to
invest in it and make the event morous, so that the outside world will be confident and have a
good impression on A City. Only through this way can we attract people to invest in A City and
further expand its economy. Therefore, the municipal government will also need to start making
necessary preparations for the
construction."
Hansen understood Sadiva''s intentions upon hearing that. Sadiva was asking the Richards Group
to take on arge portion of the construction for free. To put it bluntly, Sadiva wanted them to pay for
it.
He smiled slightly. He could pay for it. After all, it was a matter that would benefit the country and its
citizens, but he wanted something in return.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Yes, Mr. Garver, you''re right. First impressions are, of course, the most important thing. Also, A City
is a reputable metropolis. Otherwise, the country would not have entrusted this big responsibility to
us. Since we have been given the responsibility to do so, we should do it properly and solemnly."
Hansen nodded in agreement. He only stated that it was a good thing, but he hadn''t mentioned that
he would ept it.
Of course, Sadiva knew what he was thinking too.
"Mr. Richards, I''ve already sent my men to investigate thoroughly the Richards Group''s few
commercialnds and some other practical problems. I think I''ll be able to give you justice soon. As
for the matter of the Richards Group''s automobile industry leaking secrets, I can only help you make
sure that you''ll be able to start manufacturing again. However, I don''t have the ability to pardon your
charges." Sadiva spoke out in a timely manner, looking a little embarrassed.
Of course, Hansen understood that he was being put in a difficult position. Nevertheless, if Sadiva
was willing to make a move, Zoe''s n of making things difficult for the Richards Group would be
ruined. With that, they would at least be able to stabilize and protect their traditional industries. As
for the Richards Group''s automobile industry, Jenna was in charge of it, and that the newly re-
establishedpany was under Norton''s control. So, it would not be difficult for them to reestablish
their business.
Hansen seemed to have seen a fresh glimmer of hope.
Nevertheless, the Richards Group had to spend arge amount of financial resources for that.
Although Hansen was a little reluctant to do so, it was quite amon thing for money toe and
go. What was more, it was beneficial to the citizen''s livelihoods. So, it didn''t matter if he was
required to spend a lot of money. Therefore, at the moment, he spoke in a generous manner.
"Don''t worry, Mr. Garver. The Richards Group will be in charge of the municipal government''s
construction of all the roads in A City. I will do my best to aplish these things."
As soon as he said that, Sadiva''s eyes lit up. He estimated that the construction would at least need
a few tens of billions of dors. If the Richards Group was willing to bear those expenses, he didn''t
have to worry about it anymore.
Thinking of that, he praised him joyfully. "The Richards Group really is rich and generous, to be able
to ept such a big project. It is a blessing for us and the people of A City to have such a wealthy
entrepreneur like you in A city. On behalf of all the people, I thank you."
As Sadiva said that, he stood up and bowed down. He then picked up the bottle of red wine on the
table and poured some for Hansen and himself. Then, he drank a toast to Hansen respectfully and
chugged it all down in one go.
Hansen also stood up and drank the red wine.
That was the first time Hansen had topromise in front of a big shot for thepany''s business.
He was no longer the arrogant person he was in the past. It was more appropriate to describe him
as mature and steady right then.
Right then, for the sake of his family, his wife and child, he would be willing to act humble at the
appropriate time. Wasn''t that the so- called adapting to one''s circumstances?
After that, they chatted about trivial stuff as they drank the wine happily.
Jenna and Madam Lilian finally parted ways reluctantly.
By the time she bid farewell to Madam Lilian, the night was already very dark.
She felt the cool summer breeze blowing at her. Not knowing why, Jenna was in a fantastic mood.
She hummed and held her delicate leather bag in her hand. She then looked up at the stars in the
sky and walked in an unsteady manner. That day, she was so happy that she drank three sses of
red wine.
Her wine pte wasn''t good, and her alcohol tolerance was no better either. With just three sses,
she was almost drunk and was only semiconscious!
She usually sang andughed loudly when she was drunk. However, when she was sad, she would
cry andugh by the river. If someone was close to her, she would even observe that person and
touch their face. Nevertheless, she rarely got drunk.
The garden of the five-star hotel was huge. After Jenna walked out of the dining room, she went to
the rock garden.
She went to the side of the pond beneath the rock garden with shaky steps. When she saw that the
water in the pond was very clear, she tilted her head and inspected the face in the pool''s reflection.
"Hey, who are you? You''re so beautiful." She giggled and ttered her own reflection in the pool.
Jenna was then annoyed at the inverted reflection as it would mimic her every action, like smiling
and making faces. Due to that, she became slightly unhappy. "Hey, you must be a subus. A
subus like Liya. I think I''d better beat you to death."
After that, she bent over and was about to kick the face of her reflection with her foot.
As soon as Hansen walked out of the dining room, he couldn''t help but to frown. It was due to the
fact that he saw Jenna stepping on the pond''s fence beside the rock pile. She had her head tilted,
and would curse and shout at the pond from time to time.
That d*mned woman must''ve been drinking.
She had one of her legs very high up, which exposed her underwear. She also had one of her
hands at her waist and pointed the other at the pond while saying something.
The muscles on Hansen''s face twitched.
Knowing that she was going to treat Madam Lilian to a meal that day and remembering the incident
of her being stabbed thest time, Hansen was very worried about her. That was why he decided to
have a meal with Sadiva there.
That d*mned woman had her phone turned off for the entire day. It seemed like she had devoted
her entire heart and soul into treating Madam Lilian to a meal.
As her husband, of course, he was happy that Madam Lilian had a good impression of his own wife.
However, he did not expect to see her standing by the rock garden in an extremely indecent manner
after receiving a call from Maud. It was really shameful, and it would be bad if the media got hold of
that sight.
At that moment, he took a step forward and rushed over, grabbing her by the waist, and pulling her
away from the pond.
"Don''t touch me. You bad person. How can you get rid of the subus like that?" she shouted while
iling about.
Hansen did not know whether tough or to cry when he heard that.
It turned out that she was still thinking about Liya, even when she was drunk. It seemed that Liya
had really affected her a lot. Thinking of that, he felt distressed for her.
"Jenna, don''t joke around anymore. I''ll bring you home," Hansen said patiently and gently.
That night, Hansen was in a good mood and felt much more relieved because he had made a deal
with Sadiva.
"Ha! So, it''s a handsome man. You''re so handsome." Jenna escaped from his arms and stepped
back, only to see the handsome face that she could never get tired of. She reached out her soft little
hands and pinched his face with a giggle, continuing to caress his face gently.
As Hansen''s face was gently stroked by her, he looked at her grinning. Her face was slightly red
because of alcohol and her bright eyes were like the stars in the sky.
He was stunned.
In a blink of an eye, Jenna started touching his body with her small hands. Her touch made him feel
a little numb and ticklish, causing Hansen''s heart to race.
"Hey, handsome. Can you stay with me for one night? I''m so lonely." Jenna was very drunk. She
asked while chuckling with zed eyes.
That time, Hansen''s face darkened.
It turned out that Jenna didn''t even recognize him. She thought of him as a stranger, and she even
asked a stranger to keep herpany for the night. What was that!
At the thought of that, his face became extremely gloomy.
Jenna looked at him with her head tilted and clicked her tongue. "Hey, why is your face so gloomy?
I''m just asking you to sleep with me, and you won''t lose anything from it. I''m really lonely. My
husband doesn''t want me and my son anymore. He''s going to marry a subus. Seeing that I''m so
pitiful, please just keep mepany for the night, alright?"
Jenna''s hands were still on his body, but then she felt that the man''s muscles had tensed up, and
his face was getting more and more unpleasant. Thus, she thought that it wasn''t fun anymore.
"Forget it. I don''t need you anymore. I''m going to sleep first." She stretched out, put her hands
behind her head, tilted her head and smiled cutely. Then, she fell straight down to the ground with
her arms stretched and legs crossed, looking veryfortable and rxed.
D*mn woman! If she slept like that, wasn''t she asking to get hurt?
However, Hansen reached out in time to hold Jenna, who still hasn''t fallen to the ground and picked
her up.
"Handsome, what are you doing? I want to sleep now." Upon smelling the familiar scent, she asked
in a silly way. Then, she sighed with satisfaction and fell asleep soundly.
She had initially been very exhausted in that period of time. In addition to how busy she was that
day and the fact that she had drunk alcohol, she quickly fell asleep in the arms of Hansen, like a
baby.
Maud then rushed over and said to Hansen with a smile, "Mr. Richards, the driver has already
driven the car over. Please get in."
Hansen said nothing more and got in the car with Jenna in his arms.
"Maud, how many sses of wine did Madam drink today?" Hansen asked Maud, with Jenna in his
arms, while sitting on the soft cushions at the back of the car.
"Mr. Richards, Madam didn''t drink much, she only drank three sses of wine," Maud answered
carefully in the front seat. At that moment, Hansen''s face didn''t look good. He let Jenna get drunk
despite him escorting her. Thus, he was scared that Hansen would berate him.
It was only three sses of red wine, and she was already so drunk. Jenna was really born to have
low tolerance for alcohol.
Hansen looked down at the woman sleepingfortably in his embrace. He couldn''t help but to
shake his head and smile bitterly.
However, just then, she touched all over him as she liked. It made him very ufortable!
The car slowly drove into Richards Manor. Then, Hansen carefully carried her onto the electric
vehicle.
How did that woman dare ask a man to sleep with her after getting drunk?
What kind of behavior was that?
Did she really feel that lonely?
In those days, although he was very tired, he would try his best toe back to be by her side and
satisfy her every night. Despite that, she still dared ask another man to sleep with her. Thinking of
that, Hansen was furious.
After washing her up, Hansen put her on the soft bed and watched her as she slept soundly. Her
skin was as smooth as jade. Although her face had a tinge of yellowness in recent days, it was
covered by the effects of alcohol. Her face was slightly red, and her breathing was very seductive,
which made his heart sting.
If it weren''t for her saying that she wanted a random man to keep herpany for the night, he
would let her go that night. Nevertheless, Hansen got angry whenever he thought of that. His wife
was next to him, but she was desperately looking for another partner to sleep with. He was really
hurt.
He went to bed.
He bent over slowly and approached her.
"No." As soon as his face was close to hers, Jenna extended an arm to gently put it on his neck.
She said it in a coy manner, which was very rare for her to do so. Usually, Jenna would never talk to
him like that, but that day, he got to see another side of her due to the fact that she had drunk some
wine.
An electric current quickly flowed from her arm and through Hansen''s entire body.
In an instant, his whole body had gone soft.
