Chapter 580
Johan was arrogant and stubborn. He had never once taken an interest in his disobedient son. He
didn''t want to look at Sara as he thought that they were the family''s ck sheep. He even set a
house rule that no one should ever mention her. Madam Moore had shed many tears over this
matter.
Johan was a man of his word. He refused to recognize Sara as a member of the Moore family.
Some may even describe him as extremely ruthless.
However, Johan''s temperament had changed gradually in recent years. When he knew about
Sara''s tragic situation, he secretly lent Sara a hand instead of staying on the sidelines.
Never in Earl''s wildest dream would he imagine Sara to be Johan''s granddaughter. He had
strategize carefully and tried his best to hide the news from the media, so that the public would not
know the truth. He thought his n was wless but he failed to realize that Hansen had always
been in love with Jenna.
Therefore, Earl''s failure was bound to happen!
What about them?
Yadriel felt a chill running down his spine as he thought.
After Jenna''s return to the Richards Group in an attempt to avenge her father, Johan saw her
outstanding performance in Richards Group at the press conference. Truth be told, none of Johan''s
grandchildren were as capable as Jenna. Yadriel surmised that Johan had had a change of heart
since then.
"If Hansen and Luqman decided to work together, then Johan would switch his stand and side with
Luqman because of Jenna. If that happens, then we are doomed." Yadriel lowered his voice. He felt
an inexplicable fear.
Some things became clearer as people got older, especially when it came to guilt. People tended to
reflect on things that made them feel guilty in the past.
Johan was probably having the same dilemma as well.
No matter how cruel and cold-hearted he was, He still regarded vian as his son although he
disliked him very much. He even imed vian''s ashes back home. This was a prime example of
how Johan wasn''t as cold hearted as he seemed to be.
If Madam Lilian and Sara did end up recognizing each other, then Johan would not be the only one
who was important in the matter. The events in the war-torn country and the crimes hemitted
would also be exposed. Yadriel paced around the house as he thought and put out his cigarette
after a few moments.
"Sergio, I want Lilian to get rid of the idea of recognizing her daughter once and for all. I still need
her help with things in the war-torn country. If the incident were brought to light, then she might still
be willing to lend a hand. But she would never help me again if she finds out that we were
responsible for framing the Richards Group, in addition to Sara''s existence," Yadriel uttered with a
gloomy face and then picked up the phone.
"Is this A City''s Ministry of Health? I''m looking for Mr. Eder."
The morning light had just entered the room through the window when Jenna woke up all of a
sudden with alertness.
She had been developing a regr routine. She would go to the park for a walk or exercise every
morning.
"Jenna." A tall and slender figure greeted as he walked towards Jenna just as she walked out of the
small path in the Ink Garden.
"Norton, you''re finally back." Jenna''s eyes lit up and she greeted Norton excitedly. The man in front
of her was travel-weary. There was a trace of tiredness on his face but his eyes looked energetic.
His face was thinner and his eyes had a more modest glowpared to thest time she saw him.
Norton''s face lit up with joy when he saw Jenna. His eyes were clear and bright.
"Jenna, I initially nned on returning after receiving the call, but thepany was recently listed,
and it was a critical time for thepany. I called Dad and took a few days leave after learning
about Grandma''s condition," Norton exined quickly.
"Alright. You must be tired, Norton." Jenna smiled gently.
The two of them walked towards a perg.
"Norton, how are the sales of the cars? How is the market?" The two sat down on the stone bench
underneath the perg, and Jenna asked calmly.
"Jenna, don''t worry about it. Our cars were well-received as soon as they were introduced. The first
batch of cars produced were already sold out barely two weeks in. The orders are stilling in
and things seem to be going well." Norton was very excited. He was energetic and cheerful when
he talked about thepany. "It is a century-oldpany after all. Our quality and performance are
top-notch."
Jenna nodded her head in agreement. Jersey had already given her a report on Norton''s
performance. She was delighted with Norton''s hard work and dedication.
In fact, Norton''s talent in business wasparable to Old Master Richards.
He named thepany N&S Group. Jenna knew the story behind the name of thepany. The
origin and the meaning behind did not require any more exnation as it came from Norton''s and
Sabrina''s initials.
"Norton, yourpany will take over all the foreign luxury car production and sales of the Richards
Group in the future. The Richards Group will no longer produce luxury cars. Do you understand
what I mean?" Jenna asked seriously.
"I understand. Don''t worry, Jenna. All the legal registrations of N&S Group have beenpleted
abroad. It no longer has anything to do with the Richards Group. All the cars that were recalled
have undergone facelifts and were re- listed. We started selling them this week. One of the recent
batches was well-received when it was introduced to the market, thanks to Whalen Group''s
technology and your car design. The Jones Group''s luxury car sales were facing pressure and their
sales declined rapidly. Our sales would be more than a hundred million dors this week alone,"
Norton said excitedly.
"Okay." Jenna nodded with a smile, but her expression was still tense. She added in a serious tone,
"Norton, this is a critical moment where we should work together and disregard the short term
profits. I''ve mentioned that the profits of N&S Group will be exchanged for thirty percent of the
shares for you. The cost, technology, and design would also be tranted to thirty percent shares.
The remaining forty percent belongs to Richards Group. Although Richards Group is safe for now,
the charges against them are still outstanding. The enemy, who has framed Richards Group, is still
waiting for an opportunity to strike and attack. The Richards Group is attracting too much unwanted
attention because of its scale. So, it''s time to divert this risk."
Norton was stunned momentarily. He quickly understood what she meant and replied immediately,
"Jenna, please don''t worry. All of these still belong to the Richards Group. I was only doing my part
even though I''ve established a newpany. It is my responsibility to help."
Of course, Norton understood that he owed the sess of his newpany to Richards Group. He
merely followed Jenna''s instructions and found a different way to make things happen. Jenna
already prepared everything for the establishment of a newpany and she could have picked
anyone to run the newpany. However, she chose to benefit him at such a time, so that he could
make a name for himself. Norton was grateful and had already made a backup n for the
safekeeping of theirwyers.
Jenna wasn''t aware that Norton already had other ns. She smiled faintly and her eyes were as
clear as the sea.
"Norton, the Richards Group is big enough as it is. There are too many things to handle and too
many rumors to tackle. We can''t let anyone with ulterior motives have their chances on us again.
We are one family no matter what happens. By splitting the luxury car business, we''ll at least be
able to preserve the Richards Group''s traditional business. We can''t lose the family''s traditional
business and its core culture. The Richards Group is a family enterprise with a century-old history.
It''s our duty to pass them on," Jenna exined with a solemn expression, with her voice clear and
firm.
Norton was deeply moved. He nodded and acknowledged her. "Jenna, it''s truly our honor and pride
to have you in our Richards family. On behalf of our family, I thank you."
Jenna''s actions touched Norton but he couldn''t help feeling a deep sense of guilt at the same time.
The things he had done in the past were terrible.
"Norton, let''s not talk about this. I am the daughter-inw and the head of the Richards family. This
is my duty." Jenna shook her head and then continued seriously. "You must try your best to modify
and sell all the piled-up luxury cars within a month. If the Richards Group encounters any more
difficulties in the future, then it''d be able to survive with yourpany as backing."
A cool breeze blew over her clear forehead, and a ray of the morning sun shone on her face. She
looked lively and charming under the early morning sun.
Norton slipped into a daze and suddenly realized that Jenna was a woman he would always
worship and admire. He had had this feeling for a long time now.
Jenna was deep in thought.
At the current stage, the automotive industry was the Richards Group''s pir industry and may even
strengthen Richards Group''s revenue and
expansion process. By establishing a newpany as a front, Norton would be able to help solve
the automotive crisis for Richards Group. The road construction project for the sports tournament
and the impending crisis should not be a big problem with thepany''s support.
Jenna had long nned for all of this and had already told Hansen. Of course, Hansen supported
her n enthusiastically. The Richards Group had too many traditional and new industries running
simultaneously. If they were not cautious, then they would fall into the predicament of being framed
again.
The situation had forced them to diversify their businesses.

The two of them exchanged and discussed some challenges thepany was facing, and time
flew by without them noticing.
"Oh, there you are, Jenna. I couldn''t find you just now." Sabrina would meet Jenna every morning
and apany her for her morning walk. She didn''t see Jenna when she got up in the morning.
So, she went to look for her. She saw Jenna talking to a man who looked like Hansen from a
distance. Sabrina didn''t think much and walked towards them.
Norton''s back stiffened as he heard her voice.
Sabrina approached slowly and added, "Jenna, I thought we are supposed to walk together. Why
didn''t you wait for me today?"
Jenna raised her head and nced at Norton. She turned her head and smiled at Sabrina.
"Sabrina, you were sleeping soundly just now. So, I didn''t want to wake you up."
"Lies. You didn''t want me to follow you because Hansen is apanying you, right?" Sabrina
chuckled and turned her head to the man and asked yfully, "Hansen, am I right?"
The man''s body trembled a little and his fingers curled up involuntarily.
Norton turned around slowly. His gaze was dark and his voice was a little hoarse. "Good to see you,
Sabrina."
The smile on Sabrina''s face froze. Her expression stiffened and she looked surprised!
This man turned out to be Norton!
She wasn''t expecting to see him.
She stood there in shock for a moment and turned around to leave.
"Jenna, please continue your discussion. I''ll go ahead and take a walk myself," Sabrina said.
She walked towards the running track of the Ink Garden without looking back.
A hint of embarrassment shed across Norton''s face followed by disappointment.
Jenna smiled faintly and looked at them.
