Chapter 578


    Johan would hold a gathering like this once a year but Jenna was seldom invited.


    However, Johan had made an exception for Jenna to attend his birthday party.


    Zoe had always felt superior over Jenna since young.


    Although Javon was also a high- ranking civil servant, it really didn''t mean anything!


    Why was Jenna invited to the party? On the surface, the party was held to celebrate Johan''s


    birthday but that party was grander and carried way more significance than any other event held in


    the past.


    The elders had chosen the candidate to be Hansen''s wife. If she guessed correctly, Vivian also


    expressed her opinion regarding this to Johan at the party.


    She was enraged. Her cool and handsome Hansen. She could guarantee that Hansen never knew


    who Jenna was. He never would have noticed her.


    He only entertained Sabrina, and Zoey was always pestering him. He wouldn''t have acknowledged


    Jenna''s presence and definitely wasn''t aware of


    her existence.


    Zoe, on the other hand, was different. She often attended such gatherings and had known


    Hansen for a long time. Why would Vivian secretly pick Jenna, whose family were not as prominent


    and wealthy, to marry Hansen?


    Sergio went into a fit of rage when he heard the news but no one knew the pain Zoe was


    experiencing.


    She was arrogant and egotistical. She thought Hansen would fall head over heels for her. She


    thought she was capable and intelligent, and would be the perfect candidate to marry into Hansen''s


    rich and powerful family. Only Zoe was worthy of him. They would be apatible pair and she


    could help his career propel much further. She believed that she was the only one who could take


    good care of Richards Manor and be a great leader of the family.


    However, everything changed quickly.


    In an intense businesspetition, Mars was defeated by Trevor and had to move out of A City.


    Everything changed from then on.


    When the news of Hansen''s and Jenna''s marriage broke out, she kept herself in the dark. She was


    miserable, and on the brink of going crazy. It turned out that after all these years, she had never


    fallen in love with another man again. Hansen was her ultimate goal. There would never be a man


    in the world who could be better than Hansen. She came to that conclusion after repeated


    consideration.


    Zoe was clever and calctive and when the news came out that Hansen and Jenna were not on


    good terms, sheughed coldly.


    She had been paying attention to Hansen. She was certain that he had never seen Jenna and


    would definitely not have any feelings for her.


    She wanted Hansen to suffer from the torments of love. Only then would he realize her importance


    to him and pursue her.


    However, that day never arrived.


    "No, I won''t lose." She gritted her teeth, and the words trembled between her teeth. She raised her


    head and saw Sergio staring at her coldly. His eyes were full of ridicule and mockery. Her heart


    sank gradually.


    Sergio nced at her and then turned around to walk outside.


    "Sergio, is it really the end? Are you going to give uppletely? Haven''t they been exposed for


    the luxury car incident? You can use it against the Richards Group and punish them ording to


    thew." Zoe stopped him and asked expectantly.


    Sergio stopped in his tracks, with a cold expression on his face.


    How could he let the Richards Group off the hook and let Hansen stir up trouble for Yadriel''s


    election?


    However, this woman didn''t seem to be of much value. She was at her wit''s end now. The promises


    that Zoe made concerning her business in Capital City, as well as the attempt to help him recover


    the Xanthe family properties, were all in vain as Hansen had forcefully taken back the assets.


    This woman wasn''t of much help at all. She even almost ruined the n by removing Liya from the


    game.


    "What do you propose we do?" He took a step back and questioned sternly with a stoic expression.


    Zoe took a step back fearfully and looked at him helplessly.


    Sergio''s gaze was full of mockery. He turned around and left.


    Sergio, Hansen went to Capital City yesterday. Were you aware of that?" The corner of Zoe''s


    mouth was covered with a thinyer of frost and the tone of her voice was sinister.


    Sergio, who was striding away, stopped


    immediately.


    "What did you say? Hansen had gone to Capital City?" He turned his head, looking surprised. His


    eyes filled with questions.


    Sergio hung around in Richards Manor everyday. Yet, he didn''t know that Hansen had visited


    Capital City. Could it be true? He felt a chill running down his spine even though his back was


    scorching from the sun just moments before.


    Zoe noticed his expression changed from surprise to panic, and even fear. She couldn''t help but


    to let out a cold snort. It seemed that this man was not as capable as he looked!


    "You will never guess who Hansen visited at Capital City. If I were you, then I would not stand here


    quietly and bask in the sun." Zoe took charge of the conversation and spoke, fanning the mes


    to stir up his emotions.


    "Who?" Sergio asked cautiously in a cold tone.


    Zoe wasn''t in a hurry to speak. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled. She crossed her arms in


    front of her and stared at the sea.


    "Do you think I will trust you?" Sergio could not guess what she had up her sleeve. Was she bluffing


    him? Looking at her mysterious expression, it seemed that there was no reason for him to distrust


    her.


    The Xanthe family had ears and eyes all over Capital City. Yet, he didn''t receive any news that


    mentioned Hansen''s presence. However, this woman, who was thousands of miles away, knew


    about it. Was she joking?


    He had a reason not to believe her.


    "It''s your choice whether or not you believe me. You have to admit that Hansen is more powerful


    than you. He went to Capital City but your family didn''t know about it. What do you think it means? It


    shows that he can fool you as he wishes. It''s by no means easy if you want to seed." Zoe


    curled her lips andmented sarcastically as she smiled happily.


    Sergio''s mind was in a mess. What exactly was this woman trying to say?


    "Are you saying that Hansen went to Capital City to meet Luqman?" He took a step forward and


    asked in a low voice. A moment of panic crossed his eyes.


    Zoe scoffed. "What else could it be? Visiting your family and getting on good terms with you?"


    Sergio''s face turned pale and he clenched his fist.


    He strode towards Richards Manor.


    "Honey,e here. Be careful. There''s a branch here. Be mindful of your belly." Hansen had his


    arm around Jenna''s shoulder as they strolled in the Ink Garden''swn. He would take some time to


    apany Jenna for a walk everyday and tried his best to amuse her on their walks.


    He had said that he wanted her to be the happiest pregnant woman in the world.


    Jenna looked down and felt amused. Was that considered a branch? It was just the crabapple tree''s


    newly grown baby branch with a few tender green leaves. It wouldn''t hurt her at all even if she


    identally stepped on the branch!


    He was so concerned about her and she felt extremely loved.


    Hansen bent down carefully and pushed the branch away, using his legs to block it. Then, he ced


    his arm around her waist and slowly walked over.


    Jenna was wearing a light blue grass- printed dress and her hair was tied in a ponytail. She


    appeared charming and lovely.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Hansen held her hand tightly as they paced on the pebbled path in the Ink Garden''swn.


    "Jenna, we haven''t decided on the official name for Jerry yet. Why don''t we wait until the birth of our


    second baby, and think of a name for them together?" Hansen suggested in a tender tone.


    Jenna smiled at him.


    Jerry was already three years old, but Hansen still hadn''t given him an official name. It wasn''t


    because he didn''t want to name him, nor was it because he couldn''t think of a name. Rather,


    Hansen insisted on getting the blessings and guidance from the famous priest in the city to name


    Jerry. The priest was on a pilgrimage and had not been back for a few years. Naturally, Jerry''s


    christening had been dyed until the priest''s return.


    The descendants of the rich and powerful families were always named after much consideration.


    She understood the significance of choosing an official name. So, she never refuted his intentions.


    She had no choice but to let him be.


    "Honey, did you drink the soup today? How much did you drink?" Hansen nagged.


    He had personally checked on her food intake and activities for the past few days. She felt


    restricted and helpless.


    She was not as frail as Hansen thought but Hansen was willing to prove his love and gave his


    attention to her. She epted it wholeheartedly.


    "I ate everything ording to your request," she answered softly.


    Hansen''srge hand slipped from her shoulder all the way to her waist.


    "Your small waist feels really nice in my arms."


    Hansen giggled. At the thought of Jenna''s slender waist and supple skin, Jenna was as beautiful as


    ever even after giving birth to Jerry. They were having a second child then. Would she still be as


    beautiful? He was enchanted by how she looked when she was moving her waist on top of him. He


    couldn''t suppress his desire as he thought. Ascivious but charming smile appeared on his face.


    He wrapped his arms around her waist even tighter.


    Jenna''s waist changes were sacrifices she made for bearing his children. No matter how Jenna


    looked in the future, Hansen would still love her.


    He gently touched her waist with his fingers, which tickled Jenna and made herugh.


    "Hansen, take your stinking hands away. It''s ticklish." She smiled, pursing her red lips. Hansen felt


    lustful as her soft voice quivered.


    Hansen and Jenna haven''t had s*x ever since she was pregnant. Her pregnancy wasn''t very stable


    yet as it had only been a month. So, he did not dare to touch her.


    However, Hansen had a high libido. Every night, he went to sleep holding Jenna''s tight body. He


    was aroused yet unable to satisfy his s*xual desire.


    Women were sensitive to this matter. Jenna knew clearly how Hansen felt but she kept quiet without


    exposing him.


    "Why don''t you let me know where I should put my hands, then?" Hansen looked at her plump


    breasts and gulped. Jenna''s breasts had be even more plump ever since she got pregnant.


    Hansen grinned and asked flippantly. He moved his hands from her waist to her chest as he spoke


    and held her soft breasts in his huge warm palms.


    Jenna''s face turned red in an instant.


    "You''re such a pervert. Grandma is sick and on her deathbed and yet you are here thinking about


    such things." Jenna gently patted his hand and gave him a side-eye.


    Hansen''s yful smile froze immediately upon the mention of his grandmother. His hands fell to his


    side.


    The sound of footsteps came from the front and a scoff rang out, that was loud enough for them to


    hear.


    Both of them raised their heads.
