“Come, sit down.” Marissa pulled Sabrina onto the sofa with a big smile.“Sabrina, is General Delia in good health?”


    She hid no adoration towards Sabrina. Jenna knew that the reason for this was nothing more than a fancy to the power in General Delia’s hands. Thinking of her father, shefelt bitter.


    “He’s doing great. Thank you for asking,” Sabrina replied with a smile. Shetook a cup of tea from a servant and saw Jenna still standing. She beamed while saying, “Jenna,e sit down with us.”


    Jenna thought about going to the second floor.It was obvious that she did not belong here. She always felt that she was an outsider.However, she was worried to leave Sabrina here alone. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down beside her.


    Hansen put down his briefcase before heading over as well, sitting next to Jenna.He stuck to her so closely thathe might as well sit on her.


    Jenna’s eyebrows were twistedand her body was tense. She was very ufortable with Hansen being so close to her. She moved asidebut the b*stard had to move nearer too. He did not care if they were in the hall. Once she shifted a lot farther,his hand pulled her back to him by the waist. He only used alittle effortand Jenna could not move at all.


    This frustrated her. She gritted her teeth and fury shed in her eyes. It was as if there was a snake next to herand it seemed like his touch was its poison, sinking into her skin at any time.


    She was sitting there with utter difort, wishing to sneak upstairs immediately.


    Hansen’s face only had a slight smilebut his heart blossomed with joy. He scooted a little closerand his built body was almost entirely glued to her.


    He smirked. She wanted to avoid him?He shall see if she could escape this time.


    Jenna rolled her eyes at him.Her knuckles were itching to punch him on the spot.


    Although Marissa was talking to Sabrina, she could clearly see Hansen and Jenna on the opposite sofa. She observed that Jenna had a grudge against Hansenwhile he justtched onto her like an idiot. She sighed inwardly.


    While she was thinking, they heard footsteps approaching.


    After a while, a strong perfume scent entered the living room.Aria and Minnie soon appeared in front of everyone.


    “Mom,” Aria came in and greeted with a sweet voice. Her eyes turned towards Hansen and her face darkened when she saw him and Jenna sitting together so intimately. But, in the blink of an eye, she masked her face with a bright smile. This time was different. She did not cling to Hansennor did she sit down beside him.Instead, she sat down beside Marissa.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Sabrina was surprised when Aria called Marissa ‘Mom’. Did Marissa have a daughter that she did not know of?


    Marissa saw Sabrina observing Aria with a weird nceand she introduced both of them to each other.


    “This is Sabrina Delia,General Delia’s daughter from Capital City, andNorton’s fiancée,” Marissa took Sabrina’s hand and introduced her to Aria with a smile.


    Aria had long noticed Sabrina in the living roomand she cracked her head thinking about who she was before Marissa spoke.


    Was this Norton’s fiancée who was selected by Old Master Richards?


    She looked at Sabrina. Sabrina’s family background was great and she looked beautiful in person. She seemed like the perfect match for Nortonbut she was obviously too innocent for a maniptive person like him.It was hard to imagine them as a couple aside from looking at their faces.


    Thinking about it this way, there was a sense of contempt in Aria’s eyes.She greeted Sabrina tly.


    “Sabrina, this is Mayor McAdams’s daughter, Miss Aria McAdams.” Marissa gestured towards Aria. She nced at Jenna, who was sitting restlessly on the other side with her face reddened. Marissa did not go on further in consideration of her.


    So she was Aria McAdams, the movie star?


    Sabrina nced at Aria. Seeing her with heavy makeupandher face full of arrogance, she did not like her.Besides,she remembered that Aria had greeted her nonchntly. It even looked like Aria had gazed at her in disdain. Dissatisfaction grew in Sabrina, and she, too, greeted Aria ndly.


    This was their first impression of each other.


    “Jenna, can you take me to my bedroom? I want to see how it looks like,” Sabrina suggested as she felt that Jenna was uneasy.Jenna immediately nodded in agreement.But when she was about to stand up, she heard Aria’s exaggerated cry, “Hansen, what happened to your face?”


    When she cried out, Marissa was startled and quickly looked at Hansen’s face too.


    Hansen cursed. If Marissa saw this, she would definitely get to the bottom of it. If she found out that it was Jenna’s doing, she would hold more grudges against her. Marissa did not like Jenna, and things would only be worse if she knew about this. He instantly stood up and turned his face to one side. He said casually, “Mom, I’m fine. I didn’t see where I was going and got scratched by a tree branch yesterday. It’s nothing.”


    “Hansen, your wound looks seriousand the skin is even peeling off. You should make an appointment at the dermatologist to make sure you don’t leave scars,” Aria said loudly with a concerned expression, lest others might not know it.


    Marissa grew nervous at Aria’s words. She ran over in a hurry and held Hansen’s face, looking at it carefully.


    “Mom, it’s nothing. It’s just a little scratch for a man like me.What’s the big deal?” Hansen was impatient. He also felt it unnecessary for Marissa to make such a fuss.


    However, Marissa was insistent.She observed his face and shook her head.“No, it doesn’t look like a scratch from a tree branch. It was clearly scratched by someone. Hansen, who did you get into a fight with?”


    “Mom, there’s no such thing.” He shook his head in denind stretched out his hand to hold Jenna who was about to take Sabrina upstairs.“Jenna, wait for me.”


    Hearing Marissa’s words, Jenna realized that if Marissa knew she had scratched Hansen’s face,she would definitely not let her get away with it. Not a moment longer did she want to stay here and get caught. She had no intention to exin anything,therefore she was about to head upstairs with Sabrina before Hansen gripped her wrist.


    “Jenna, is your room on the second floor? Why are there two guards here?” Sabrina asked curiously.


    Jenna blushedbut she did not respond. She wanted to break free from Hansenbut she heard him say, “I should head upstairs with you two. I don’t want Mom pestering me about my face.”


    Jenna understood that he was trying to prevent Marissa from asking for more details, thus he could only follow them to the second floor.


    What a good excuse.


    Moreover, Jenna realized that she could not do anything about it!


    She bit her lip and walked with her head down.


    When she gave no sign of objection, Hansen followed.


    Meanwhile, Sabrina was looking aroundexcitedly.


    “Mom, what should we do?Grandma has let Jenna take charge of Richards Manor today. If this goes on, how am I supposed to live the rest of my days? What about you?You should be the rightful head of the manorbut now, Grandma gave this outsider the rights to take care of the manor. What is this? How are we going to live here from now on?” Aria waited for them to leave before crying out to Marissa.


    “What did you say? Let her take charge of the house? Who did you hear this from?” Marissa blurted out in surprise.


    This was such an important matter.Yet, as the daughter-inw who had legally married into the Richards family, Marissa knew nothing about it. How was Jenna worthy to be the head of Richards Manor?This was ludicrous!Marissa was roiling in anger.


    “Mom, it’s true. The servant in Grandma’s house, Julian Adams, told me this. It can’t be wrong. Mom, you saw the red box in Jenna’s hand. That must be the documents about the rights of Richards Manor that Grandma had given her.” Aria choked through her words. Her eyes were red and even her voice trembled.


    Marissa’s face fell as her expression turned vicious.


    “Aria, it’s alright, there’s no need to rush.Let me confirm the news first.” Marissa’s face paled after her dark expressionand her voice was shaking. It seemed that this was probably true. Vivian was too old to be in charge of the manor all the time. Although each house had its owners, they ced the responsibility to be in charge of Richards Manor on one person. This right should have been given to her early onbut Vivian always disliked her and nitpicked on her.


    For so many years, what has been troubling Marissa was her rtionship with Vivian. She was a woman full of prideand she was dissatisfied with Vivian’s behavior. However, Vivian was strong and overpowering. She always had to intervene in everythingno matter big or small. Sheeven interfered with Hansen’s marriage.Marissa had long been displeased by thisbut she held it in, which made her feel ufortable from time to time.


    The major reason she did not like Jenna was because of Vivian, she thought.


    Just because Vivian liked Jenna,Marissa was not fond of Jenna because she had grudges with Vivian. She also let out heranger towards Vivian on Jenna.Despite that,Marissa herself never noticed.


    Aria’s heart sank. The facts could not be clearer. Vivian had already handed over the house to Jenna. It was the truth even after Marissa’s confirmation.


    This was a p in her face.


    In the future, what would she gain after marrying into the family?


    The second floor was given to Jenna, and currently, the house had also been handed over to her.What would Aria amount to? She was just the mother of a childand nothing more.


    The most important thing was that Hansen still did not love her.


    Was such a wealthy life even worth it?


    Aria was dejected. She was full of hatredbut she did not want to give up. Why should she be the one to give up?


    Since they had done this to her, she would let them taste their own medicine.


    Her anger was brimmingand it finally burst, destroying everything in its way.She heard a sound roaring loudly in her ears.
