Chapter 653


    Jenna breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression was still heavy. Octavia''s gaunt face emerged in


    her mind. As she expected, Zoe had pushed all the me to this woman. If thewyer''s team


    leaked the evidence, Octavia would face a serious catastrophe of imprisonment, which she did not


    want to see.


    Jenna took out her cell phone and dialed Octavia''s number.


    "Mrs. Richards, thank you for sending my mother and brother to Sovento. Their illness depends on


    your care." As soon as Octavia picked up Jenna''s phone, she cried and eximed excitedly.


    Jenna held the phone and did not speak for a long time until she calmed down. Then, she uttered


    slowly, "Octavia, you have to be mentally prepared. Zoe has med you for all the crimes, and


    you have be a scapegoat."


    Hearing this, Octavia smiled sadly. "Madam, I have known about it for a long time. I have done


    something wrong, and I deserve it. I am willing to be punished as long as my mother and brother


    are safe and healthy. I have been with the wrong person and I can''t distinguish between right and


    wrong. This is my retribution. I have no regrets."


    Octavia remained calm and undaunted even though she might have to bear Zoe''s crimes. She


    was well aware of this, and she didn''t me anyone.


    Jenna sighed. "No, Octavia, all this is not for you to bear. Although you have done wrong, you


    should not bear the responsibility that doesn''t belong to you. This is also sphemy in the eyes of


    thew. You should utilize thew, find evidence for yourself and clear your name. To tell the truth,


    Octavia, I don''t want to see you be a prisoner. I am willing to help you, but the premise is that


    you have to fight for yourself and cooperate with me."


    Octavia''s face shed a gloomy light of pain. She held her cell phone tightly. She understood what


    Jenna was saying, but she did not have the courage to clear her name. These had long been


    nned, step by step, by Zoe. It was not easy to overthrow the evidence. Could she defeat


    Zoe?


    "Madam, thank you for your kindness. I''m already happy that the Richards Group can remove the


    charge against them. My matter is not important. So, let''s forget about it," Octavia responded and


    hung up the phone hopelessly.


    Jenna closed her eyes and sighed.


    The door knocked again.


    Jenna turned back, and John appeared in the office. She was so shocked that her mouth opened


    wide.


    "John, why are you back? Where is Mr. Richards?"


    "Madam." John smiled and answered respectfully, "Mr. Richards asked me toe back to protect


    you."


    "Nonsense." Jenna''s face fell upon hearing those words. "I am fine now, and there is no need for


    you to protect me. At this moment, Yadriel is the main opponent, a powerful figure. You should go


    back to help Mr. Richards immediately."


    The charge against the Richards Group would be lifted soon, and Liya had already been moved into


    the hospital. So, what else could she do? If they did not get rid of their rival, Yadriel, even if she


    removed Zoe''s attempt on framing the Richards Group, he would use all other excuses to ce it


    on the Richards Group. He would not let the Richards Group off. Furthermore, if he were to be


    elected, then he would be irresponsible towards the citizens. Jenna would not be unable to


    distinguish this order. Hence, she anxiously requested John to return and protect Hansen.


    John understood that Jenna did not know about Hansen''s recent situation in Capital City, and she


    did not know that he had already gone to the war-torn country. Thinking that Hansen did not tell her


    this because he was afraid that she would be scared, John smiled. "Madam, what Mr. Richards is


    most worried about is your safety. As long as he can protect you, he will be able to handle the big


    matters. It would help if you trusted Mr. Richards''s arrangement. Since I''m back, I don''t dare


    disobey his orders anymore."


    Jenna was stunned for a moment, and she secretly sighed slightly. There was no other way.


    "Alright, then go back to Richards Manor and get some rest. I''ll call you if there''s something." Jenna


    thought for a moment and could only order in this way.


    John had just left when Lomen returned.


    "Madam, the matter at Octavia''s ce hase to an end. Her mother and brother have safely


    arrived in S City. We have also arranged for the doctors," Lomen reported to her.


    Jenna nodded and sighed. "Lomen, I don''t think the current result is the best. Zoe has pushed all


    the me to Octavia. Although the charge against our Richards Group will be removed, the real


    murderer, Zoe, is still atrge. This is not a good thing. The woman is scheming. I am afraid that


    she will do something unfavorable to the Richards Group in the future. Moreover, I can''t just let


    Octavia be framed like this. At this time, I have to ask you to continue to watch Zoe and see if you


    can find a breakthrough."


    Jenna spoke with much distress, and the expression on her face was a little pained and regretful.


    Lomen nodded, and he replied softly, "Madam, when you and Mr. Richards were still in Wullen


    Town, Mr. Trevor asked me to follow Zoe for a period of time. At that time, she was still preparing


    for the Miss Universepetition. She came up with a new online shopping mode. This mode is


    still profitable and popr. Zoe is smart and capable. It''s a pity that her mentality was twisted, and


    she chose the wrong path. She had many killers by her side. It wasn''t easy to follow her closely. I


    followed her for a period of time, and it didn''t work. If we follow her now, then it won''t have much


    effect. Madam, you are the one who can get the evidence for the Richards Group. It''s incredible for


    you to make a move through Octavia. However, we are really not sure about what to do next."


    This kind of analysis was pertinent, and Jenna was also well aware of it. She was pacing around in


    the office. "Shall we let her go unpunished like this?"


    She couldn''t say how heavy her heart was.


    Lomen sighed slightly and responded, "Madam, don''t worry. Her thoughts are seriously distorted,


    and she will not give up. On the contrary, she will definitely give herself away. The Public Security


    Department has discovered her identity and regards her as a key person of interest. Let''s wait and


    see. Something will happen to her sooner orter. It won''t be too long."


    "Well, it''s the only way now." Jenna gently sighed. "You''d better pay more attention and try to help


    Octavia."


    Jenna was not worried that Zoe would kill Octavia. After all, she had to take the me for her.


    "Okay, Madam, I will." Lomen smiled, and then he left.


    When Liya woke up from hera, she saw the white curtains. There was a dull paining from


    her belly, and her face was also in severe pain.


    She opened her eyes and only realized that she was in the hospital after a long while.


    How did she end up in the hospital?


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Gradually, she shivered and recalled what happened.


    She was forced to drink the medicine by a bunch of gangsters, and then she was thrown out like a


    piece of trash. She took out the little money she had, got on a bus alone, and was helpless.


    She remembered that before she fainted, there was only one thought in her mind. That was, she


    must return to Richards Manor. Only when she returned could there be hope for her to live, and only


    then could she avoid dying in vain.


    At that moment, she thought of what Reid had said before he died. He wanted her to live a peaceful


    life in Richards Manor and live a happy life. He would look after her in heaven.


    At this moment, she finally realized how absurd her acts were before.


    Shey quietly on the bed and rested for two days.


    In the past two days, Liya had found out that she had lost the ability to give birth. She took the


    mirror and saw the face wrapped with gauze. There were so many stitches on it. She could not


    remember how many stitches there were, and neither did she want to remember.


    She was thinking about how to continue her life.


    On the third day, she was lying in bed.


    The door opened.


    She opened her eyes and was shocked.


    Zoe was standing in front of her, looking at her expressionlessly.


    "What are you doing here?" Liya asked coldly.


    "I''m here to see you make a fool of yourself. Look at your miserable state, and look at what


    happens after you went rogue." Zoe''s face revealed a gloating smile, and her words were cruel


    and shrill.


    Liya''s face turned pale and she sneered. "B*tch, if youugh at me, then you''ll only end up worse


    than me."


    She retorted without mercy.


    Zoe''s eyes were dark and fierce, and the expression on her face was so cold that it made her


    terrifying.


    She bent down and red at her. "Liya, do you know why you ended up in such a pathetic state?"


    When Liya''s eyes met Zoe''s unfathomable gaze, she trembled all over.


    "What do you mean?" Liya asked vigntly.


    Zoe suddenly burst outughing.


    Liya''s face was full of anger. "B*tch, I was living well, but you found me. Now I''vee to this end


    because of you. How dare youugh at me? You are f*cking shameless. You even told me that you


    gave me the money to support me. In fact, it was always Vivian who sponsored me. You''re really


    audacious. I ended up in this state, and you''ll suffer even worse than me."


    Liya gritted her teeth and cursed. The anger in her eyes was so strong that she wanted to kill her.


    Zoe''s smile gradually froze, and the light in her eyes was as cold as frost.


    "Do you think that Matteo is Oscar? I have long expected you would end up like this. In this world,


    only when you''re strong will one have dignity, and others will respect you. Don''t expect anyone to do


    something to you. That''s just fantasy! Think about it, why did Vivian give you that sum of money? It


    was because she wronged your mother. As for what she gave you, it''s nothing. Don''t you think that


    she was just being kind to help you? Don''t forget, how did Reid die? He died in Richards Manor and


    was assassinated. I came here today to remind you kindly that a woman like you, who has been


    disfigured and unable to bear a child, that which man would want you in the future? What kind of life


    do you want?" Zoe''s words were like a sharp knife that pierced Liya''s heart.


    This was the question that Liya had thought about the most in the past two days. She had nothing


    at all. How could she continue to live in the future?


    It was impossible for her to stay in Richards Manor. With her current state, even Hansen wouldn''t


    even spare her a nce. What right did she have to stay in Richards Manor?


    What the Jones family had done to her made her lose the courage to stay with the Richards family.
