Chapter 553


    Jenna stood there calmly and faced all the different gazes from other people indifferently. She was


    rxed and could even talk andugh freely. It seemed that she was smiling at everyone, but in


    fact, her gaze did not fall on anyone.


    While she was noble and kind, she also kept a distance from everyone else. Others couldn''t figure


    her out. They felt as if they were researching a fine product, analyzing her with different


    perspectives and methods. The more they guessed, the more mysterious Jenna was to them. In the


    end, she was even worshipped as a saint. That point was even more prominent among men.


    Jenna epting her husband taking a second wife meant that other people could use it as a reason


    to seek love affairs in the future. Therefore, they all praised Jenna highly.


    Jenna knew all of that in her heart, but she acted as if she didn''t hear anything and was very calm.


    She didn''t believe that Hansen would betray her. She still wasn''t willing to believe that Hansen really


    wanted to marry Liya even up till that moment.


    She wanted to see that Saturday with her own eyes and decide if she still had the chance to go out


    with Jerry and Hansen.


    She had to be cruel to herself. No matter how painful it was, she still had to stand under the


    spotlight. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of mes in front of her, she was still


    willing to bear with the pain as she believed that she would find the answer.


    The deciding moment was approaching little by little.


    Trevor and Christopher were sitting in the reception room, talking andughing. Trevor''s face was


    flushed red, and he seemed happy. Christopher also was in high spirits as he kept smiling.


    When Jenna entered, Christopher''s eyes fell on her. Then, he looked at her face as if he was sizing


    her up and trying to see through her.


    Jenna then showed a faint and smooth smile. Her smile was dignified and beautiful. Others couldn''t


    bear to shift their eyes away from it.


    Christopher''s eyes darkened, and an imperceptible sense of disappointment shed across his


    pitch-ck eyes.


    That woman was once a woman he wanted to pursue when he was in college, but he gave up after


    comparing himself with Hansen.


    He was sure that he couldn''t gain the upper hand.


    Surely enough, after that woman married Hansen, she created legends one after another, and


    people had to look at her with new perspectives.


    "Dad, the crucial moment has arrived." Jenna walked in and said tly to Trevor. Her expression


    was calm, and her tone was respectful.


    "Oh." Trevor smiled gently. His somewhat dark eyes were filled with a hidden light. They seemed


    calm and gentle, but a trace of unease shed across them for a moment, and it didn''t escape


    Jenna''s sharp eyes.


    "Where''s Marissa?" he asked.


    They had already agreed that Marissa needed to be by his side on that day''s wedding. She had to


    follow the process of getting the wedding bouquet handed to her by Liya and Hansen. Even if she


    didn''t like it, she still had to put on an act.


    "I''m here, I''m here." Before Trevor''s voice had even faded, Marissa''s voice drifted from behind.


    Jenna lifted her head and looked over, only to see that Marissa was dressed in an exquisitely


    crafted gown with royal blue floral patterns on its white base. Her makeup was exquisite. Even


    though she was already ageing, she still retained her charm and her every movement was very


    elegant and noble.


    "Didn''t we agree toe here on time?" Trevor frowned again after looking at her attire. "Why


    aren''t you wearing something more festive?"


    "I''m here, aren''t I?" Marissa came over and muttered, "What''s the point ofing here early? To be


    laughed at by others?"


    "You..." Trevor nced at her, and there was a hint of an insinuation in his eyes, but it faded away


    helplessly. "You''re really something. You''re not even as sensible as Jenna. Right now, it''s your son


    who''s getting married."


    There was a disdainful expression on Marissa''s face. She pouted, but she didn''t reply to Trevor.


    Instead, she turned to Jenna and smiled kindly. "Jenna, I''m sorry for making it difficult for you."


    Jenna showed a slight smile.


    Marissa took her arm and walked to the lounge, leaving Trevor aside.


    With a helpless smile, Trevor could only beckon Christopher towards the lounge as well.


    "Madam, the wedding is about to begin, but the groom hasn''t arrived yet. Where has Mr. Richards


    gone?" Just as Jenna followed Trevor and Marissa into the lounge behind the stage, Maud rushed


    in and said, "The emcee has already started to call for us."


    Was that so?


    Jenna''s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, when she heard that Hansen had yet to appear on


    time, she actually felt a sense of joy in her heart. It was as if she was looking forward to such a


    situation happening. Although she felt that her thought wasn''t virtuous, she could not help but to


    nce at the crowd with her beautiful eyes. Indeed, she saw no sign of Hansen''s tall and majestic


    figure.


    His figure was so familiar that she could recognize it as long as she nced towards the crowd. In


    the past, she hadid in his arms, and he had embraced her. Then, he wouldugh loudly as they


    cuddled with each other intimately. They used to have a sweet and lovely rtionship.


    However, right then, was he going to marry another woman? Would he not belong to her fully


    anymore?


    Her heart ached, and tears almost rolled down her cheeks upon thinking of that.


    "Didn''t you call him?" Trevor was lost in thought. When Marissa heard that her son was missing,


    she became anxious and blurted out.


    "Madam, I''ve made countless phone calls, but no one answered them," Maud exined hastily.


    Marissa became even more anxious, but she seemed to have thought of something and stopped


    pressing on.


    The wedding music was yed on time.


    The melodious voice of the emcee echoed on the stage.


    "What''s going on? Where''s Hansen?" While they were lost in their thoughts, they heard a rough


    male voice shouting in that direction. "Where has Hansen gone?"


    Marissa frowned and looked at him coldly.


    Her face soon darkened.


    He had a dark face, triangr eyes, a mediumsized frame, and a thin chin. His sick face was full of


    arrogance.


    The man stood in the corridor, shouting loudly as if that was a vegetable market.


    Trevor''s face changed as well.


    Jenna didn''t know who that man was, but she heard Maud whispering, "Madam, this is Liya''s father,


    Fadison Luther. He has had a serious kidney disease and a heart attack. He''s also a gambling


    addict. When Elsie used to live in Richards Manor, he often came here to extort and create trouble.


    Due to that, Vivian was so heartbroken that she drove Elsie and her daughter out."


    After Maud''s exnation,


    Jenna immediately understood.


    It was likely that Fadison would act as he pleased as his daughter had married into the Richards


    family right then.


    She looked at him coldly.


    "Look, you guys summoned such a man into Richards Manor again. Surely you''ll get angry more


    often in the future." Marissa sighed as her voice wasced with grief and indignation.


    The light in Trevor''s eyes burst forth and was slowly withdrawn.


    "Trevor, where''s your son? My daughter is now married to your son as the second wife even though


    she''s still young, but the groom hasn''t appeared yet, even when the time hase. Are you guys


    trying to bring shame to our Luther family? How will Liya be able to continue living in Richards


    Manor in the future? No matter what, you have to give me an exnation. The wedding must begin


    on time." Fadison''s eyes were sharp. When he heard themotion, he immediately saw Trevor


    and the others walking out. He then approached them and questioned Trevor with a dissatisfied


    tone, who stood right in the middle.


    Trevor used to be a figure who once controlled A


    City and had a lot of power. What kind of a scene hadn''t he seen before? Would he care about such


    a hooligan?


    At that time, he was against ude. So, he didn''t want to get involved in that matter. After all,


    Fadison was just a punk. So, he allowed him to mess around as he liked, but it was impossible for


    Trevor to ept Fadison acting like before right then.


    "Why are you panicking?" He bellowed in a deep voice, "The wedding hasn''t even started yet. It''s


    just the second wife. What''s the big deal? Even if the groom doesn''te, it''s not too much to take


    the bride in through the back door."

    His tone was stern and full of authority with a dignified manner.


    Fadison was stunned.


    At that time, Maud also immediately shouted, "Fadison, take a good look. This is Mr. Trevor


    Richards. It''s not up to you to judge him. The fact that today''s wedding is held is all in consideration


    towards your family. No matter how dissatisfied you are, the marriage can still be cancelled at any


    time. Richards Manor doesn''t value second wives as such at all. Right now, it''s your daughter who''s


    forcefully pestering Mr. Richards. She''s not someone whom Mr. Richards has to marry no matter


    what."


    Fadison had always coveted the Richards family''s wealth. Since he was seriously ill right then, the


    only reason he came over was to try to get some money out of them.


    In his eyes, everything was good as long as he got to earn some quick cash. As for how his


    daughter''s wedding turned out or whether she would be able to attain happiness, that was


    something he didn''t care about at all. Since he managed to get involved with Richards Manor, the


    benefits he could get would allow him to enjoy the rest of his life.


    After being reprimanded by Trevor, he started to feel guilty and stopped acting arrogant.


    Nevertheless, he was not willing to give up. He mustered up his courage to say, "My dear inws,


    no matter what, the wedding is about to begin. It''s wrong not to have a groom. If Hansen doesn''t


    come over soon, then I will tell the media that your prestigious family has gone back on your word


    and bullied us."


    He knew that those reporters, who were able to enter Richards Manor at that time, were all bought


    off by the Richards family. So, they wouldn''t post any negative news and would only spread positive


    news with any means necessary.


    In reality, before the wedding, Trevor and Hansen had indeed made a big deal about it, as if they


    were afraid that the world didn''t know about it. However, when the wedding was held, they rejected


    some other media outlets with ulterior motives for the sake of not wanting others to smear their


    reputation. Therefore, they only invited a few media reporters they trusted.


    Their n was to capture Reid alive and rescue ude. After that, they would immediately


    announce through the media that they would cancel Hansen''s and Liya''s wedding and the fact that


    Reid had kidnapped ude, forcing Hansen to marry Liya. Of course, if Zoe was willing to take


    advantage to the situation and use Liya, then they would hand everything over to the police. In


    that case, they only needed to exin to the media, and everything would be fine.


    In that way, Richards Manor would have nothing to do with everything anymore. Then, Liya and


    Zoe would fight each other, and they would then be able to use all their efforts in dealing with


    Yadriel.


    With that, at the very least, they would be able to achieve their purpose by doing that.
