Chapter 557


    "Thank you, Dad," she said sweetly, took it with both hands, and bowed.


    Fadison''s eyes widened as he watched from the side.


    Such a treasure would be enough for him to pay for his medical expenses and living expenses for


    the rest of his life.


    Surely enough, Richards Group Manor really was wealthy. He thought that if they could give his


    daughter several more treasures, he would have no objections, even if the groom didn''t show up.


    Trevor''s actions temporarily dissolved the awkwardness of Hansen not showing up. The emcee also


    used the opportunity to announce that the groom would only arrive after a few minutes, as he had


    something important to attend to.


    That way, the atmosphere of the venue calmed down. Everyone felt that such a wedding was too


    boring. After all, it was the wedding of a second wife. Thus, many began to concentrate less and


    started to talk to each other.


    The atmosphere became slightly odd and depressing.


    For some reason, Jenna felt an inexplicable sense of joy in her heart at that moment.


    Was Hansen not there because he went to save ude? She wasn''t sure about it, but she was


    worried about his safety in her heart.


    She looked around and saw that Paul was standing in a ce that was not far away from her.


    Evidently, he was ready to protect her at any time.


    She really wanted to order Paul to protect Hansen.


    Suddenly, the door behind the stage opened, and everyone turned their heads.


    Hansen''s tall and slender figure passed through the back door of the stage, throughyers of


    flower- shaped arches, and walked on the aisle towards the stage.


    He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of bright eyes and a faint smile on his


    handsome face.


    He calmly walked towards the stage like a noble king.


    The moment Jenna saw him, she felt relieved, but in an instant, she felt disappointed once again.


    He was there to marry another woman, and he wasn''t walking towards her. Right then, he was her


    husband as well as the husband of another woman. That feeling sent a chill down her spine.


    He still came in the end, and he even wore a charming and refreshing smile on his face.


    Jenna could not help but to put her hand on her stomach.


    All of a sudden, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.


    She twisted her fingers together. In order not to drive herself crazy, she pinched her fingers with all


    her strength.


    Liya''s face lit up the moment she saw Hansen.


    "Hansen." Seeing that Hansen was walking towards her, Liya cried out in surprise.


    The emcee also began to cheer up. Even the guests who were talking beneath the stage fell silent


    because of Hansen''s appearance, and they all shifted their gaze towards the stage.


    As Hansen walked over, his deep gazended on Jenna''s somewhat pale face. A trace of guilt


    shed across his eyes as he quickly shifted his gaze away.


    "Hansen." Liya took a step forward and reached out her hand to take his arm.


    "Liya, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." He smiled as he said gently.


    "It''s okay." Liya shook her head with a smile and said considerately, "Hansen, I know that you''re


    busy. It''s okay. I''ll always be waiting for you."


    As Liya spoke, she leaned her head against Hansen''s shoulder.


    What a lovey-dovey couple.

    Someone beneath the stage spoke.


    Liya''s face glowed with a red light in an instant.


    "Liya, your uncle is here to see you." A rough male voice sounded from behind after Hansen


    arrived.


    It was only then that the people on the stage saw that a man was following behind Hansen. The


    man was bald and dressed in a suit, as his two small eyes were shining with a sinister light. One


    could even see the arrogance that ordinary people did not have on their faces.


    Reid and Hansen came out, one after the other, but everyone''s eyes fell on the handsome Hansen


    in front of him and directly ignored his existence.


    Due to the fact that they didn''t match, it was totally a contrast between heaven and earth.


    "Reid, you''re here too." Fadison saw Reid and greeted him.


    When Reid saw him, his face darkened, and he let out a snort from his nose.


    "Uncle, you''re here." When Liya saw Reid, she felt extra intimate, and the smile on her face became


    excited. He was the only family member in her life who treated her well. Reid always bought her all


    kinds of things she wanted. That kind of love really made her feel the value of a family member.


    Compared to her father, her rtionship with her uncle was even stronger.


    "Liya, I''m here to witness your wedding. I want to witness my niece get married to her beloved man


    in person." Reid smiled amiably. He then inspected Liya and said approvingly as he nodded his


    head, "Not bad. You look amazing."


    In an instant, Liya''s eyes were brimming with tears. She stepped forward, hugged Reid and said


    excitedly, "Thank you, Uncle Reid. Thank you so much. I''m so touched."


    "Silly girl, as long as you can be happy, anything is worth it." Reid sighed. Liya would never know


    that he was the one who fought for her wedding. As long as it was for her happiness, he would have


    no regrets.


    He could not afford to waste too much time.


    "Let''s start the wedding." As he thought that, Reid turned around and said to the emcee next to him.


    As a result, the wedding music became more exciting. In order to arouse the crowd''s emotions, the


    two emcees began to express dramatic words.


    Jenna tried her best to endure the negative emotions that were surging wildly in her heart, but no


    matter how she tried to pretend, the muscles on her face still became stiff, and ayer of dim light


    started to cover her eyes.


    Hansen looked very calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking from his dark eyes. He then


    slowly stretched out his hand and held onto Liya''s hand as he said gently.


    "Liya, I''ve wronged you by marrying me. It''s not easy to be a daughter- in-w of the Richards


    family. Take care of yourself in the future."


    As he said that, he put one hand into the pocket of his suit and took out a delicate red gift bag with


    gold threads. He then ced the dark red gift bag on his palm as the gold threads shone.


    A ring. That must have been a ring!


    Liya blushed as she widened her eyes.


    Hansen opened the small pouch with his pale fingers and slowly dragged out a long, heartshaped


    ne from within.


    It was a round diamond ne made of fine tinum. In the middle of the ne, therge


    diamond was particrly eye-catching. Moreover, the cut of the diamond was very smooth, and it


    looked heavy when ced on Hansen''s finger. Under the stage light, it emitted a pure and shining


    light.


    As Jenna stood behind, the familiar scent of Hansen''s body drifted into her nostrils along with the


    cool breeze. Her cold gaze fell on the side of his face, which was mesmerizing and perfect.


    That year, at their wedding on Bali Ind, he also stood onstage like that. Those affectionate words


    he said at that time excited her so much that she teared up, and she could never forget them.


    Nheless, right then, they were also standing on the stage. She was still his wife, but he was


    marrying another woman.


    Such a scene, even if it was his careful arrangement, even if it was just for show, made her feel sad,


    and she thought that it was unforgivable.


    She watched as Hansen unfastened the ne before personally putting it on Liya''s neck. He


    then hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. After that, they held each other''s hands tightly and


    stood in front of her, with their backs facing her.


    Jenna suddenly reached out her hand and covered her mouth. She felt very disgusted.


    "Liya, from now on, you must properly act as the daughter-inw of the Richards family and lead a


    happy life. If anyone dares to bully you, feel free to tell me. I''ll help you." Reid was satisfied to see


    such a scene. He thenughed and told Liya loudly.


    Liya''s face blushed red, and she said bashfully, "Uncle Reid, don''t worry. Hansen treats me very


    well. He definitely won''t bear to bully me. Don''t worry."


    The corner of Hansen''s mouth twitched, and it seemed as if he wasughing.


    "That''s good then. That''s for the best." Reid chuckled happily.


    He couldn''t bear to bully her? Such words were extremely harsh in Jenna''s ears. She wanted to


    regard everything as air and shut off her ears, but those affectionate words were still extremely


    harsh to her eardrums, making her want to leave the ce as soon as possible.


    However, her legs were as if they had been nailed to the ground, and she couldn''t move her feet at


    all.


    At that moment, Trevor was seated majestically. His deep and sharp eyes were unruffled, but


    Marissa was in a bad mood from hearing those words, and she snorted.


    Even such an expensive ne didn''t dispel Liya''s expectations.


    Where was the ring? Where was the ring? She shouted in her heart like crazy, and her eyes were


    looking forward to the appearance of the unique diamond ring.


    Nevertheless, after Hansen put on the ne for her, he didn''t make any further movements.


    Liya''s heart slowly sank, and the expression on her face became somewhat dejected.


    A wedding without a wedding ring, could it still be considered a wedding?


    Hansen was constantly staring at a certain spot with a heavy gaze. He finally heaved a sigh of relief


    when a bright circle of light lit up in that direction.


    Reid''s cell phone rang.


    "The wedding ceremony begins." The emcees, who were at the side, didn''t know how far the


    wedding had gone on. So, they had to announce as per the procedure they were told.


    The emcees thought that maybe it was a unique wedding process. Although the emcees neither


    saw the bride and groom exchanging rings, nor said any oaths, they didn''t say anything against it.


    After all, Hansen was only taking a second wife.


    There had been a huge gap between the status of the second wife and the legal wife since ancient


    times. It was an undisputed fact!


    Jenna didn''t know how she managed to get through that moment, but she just stood motionlessly,


    and her legs were so sore and numb to the point that they were going to cramp.


    "Jenna, please have some tea." She didn''te back to her senses until Liya brought a cup of tea


    to her and called her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hansen looking at her with guilt and


    deep affection.


    She faintly parted her lips, but she couldn''t get herself to speak. She wanted to reach out, but she


    couldn''t raise her arm no matter how hard she tried.


    Seeing that, Hansen picked up the teacup for her and walked to her side. He then held her cold


    hand with one hand and stood in front of Liya.


    "Have a cup of hot tea." He put the hot teacup to her mouth and leaned over to whisper in her ear,


    "Jenna, calm down. Send all the guests to the Ink Garden''s conference hallter, and nevere


    out again."


    As Hansen spoke in such a soft voice, he firmly grasped her hand.


    Jenna was so shocked that she lifted her gaze to look at him. She saw that his eyes were clear and


    honest, but there was a trace of heaviness and anxiety in them.


    For some reason, she agreed obediently.


    The wedding process for marrying a second wife was simple, but it still had its procedures.


    It was already eleven o''clock in the morning. If nothing went wrong, the guests should have been


    seated, as the wedding banquet was about to begin. Therefore, why did he want her to bring the


    guests to the Ink Garden?


    That waspletely out of the norm.


    "The venue of the banquet has been changed to the Ink Garden''s conference hall" Hansen


    exined softly in her ear when he saw her puzzled eyes, as he was worried that she would not


    listen to him.


    However, his voice died away.


    Then, a loud gunshot rang out.
