“Alvin, are you sure that a fewrge trucks had left this cest night?”Hansen followed Alvin to a hidden path. He looked at the wheel marks on the ground and asked with a frown.
“Yes, I rushed overst night. It seemed that the trucks were military trucks. Although they were covered with ck cloth, I can still tell, as I am someone who was born in a military family.” Alvin answered with certainty,“Last night, using the lights from the streetmps, I saw that there are people who looked like they were from a terrorist organization in the truck. This is a very dangerous signal.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Alvin’s furrowed his brows tightly. His face sank and he was very worried.
A terrorist organization. Could it be an international criminal gang? Did Yadriel have something to do with those people? Impossible. He was determined to win the position of the next president. If he had rtions with those people, his political future would bepletely ruinedonce it was discovered. Everyone knew that. People like himwho were highly sensitive to politicswould nevermit a crime on purpose. They were not that stupid. Although they knew it was profitable, political titles were their highest pursuit. That glory could not bepared.
“ording to your analysis, what would they ship out from here?” Hansen squatted down and felt the soil on the ground with his hand. It was new indeed, as though it had only been a few hours, which meant that they had in fact taken things from there. As for what it was, he was not sure. However, it was sote at night and they acted mysteriously. There was no doubt, something was not right.
“If I am not wrong, the factory might be producing illegal chemical materialsor illicit weapons such as guns and ammunition. It is said that many of the sons in Capital City take advantage of their father’s prestige to do some profiteering stuff secretly. It’s just not on the surface, but many people know what they are doing.” Alvin analyzed.
Hansen stood up. His eyes narrowed as he knitted his brows. His sharp gazended on the ground, studying it. He didn’t speak for a long time.
If someone was really producing such things in that factory, then his investment couldn’t go on, let alone his acquisition. Those people wouldn’t let him seed, as it would hinder their way to make money. Therefore, how could those people possibly let him have it his way?
Kyrie came to him just because he wanted some money to solve the financial difficulties of the workers in the factory. With the factory being stable, it was less likely for their secret to be exposed.
The factory had basically turned into their own manufacturing factory, a ce where people could earn dirty money.
What should he do? To advance or to retreat?
If he was still a young man in his twenties, he might boldly invest in it, but things were no longer the same. He had Jenna and Jerry. He didn’t want to get involved in such things anymore. After all, it was not an ordinary matter.
He didn’t say anything and just continued walking forward silently.
A figure walked towards him in a hurry.
“Mr. Richards.” The figure approached him and greeted him politely.
“Lomen.” Hansen raised his head and eximed in shock.
Why would he be there in that small town? He was his father’s confidant. Did something happen to his family? His heart skipped a beat when he thought about it. An inexplicable nervous look then appeared on his face.
“Hello, Mr. Richards. Mr. Trevor and Madam Marissa have arrived in Wullen Town.” After greeting Hansen, he told him the purpose of his visit immediately.
“You mean my father and mother are both here?” Hansen eximed and asked incredulously, “What are they doing here?”
Lomen saw the surprise in Hansen’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Richards, don’t worry.Mr. Trevor and Madam Marissa are here to look at their grandson. They’ve already settled down in Sheraton Hotel and are now at Sara’s ce. I think Mr. Richards will be able to bring Young Madam and Young Master home really soon.”
Upon hearing that, Hansen heaved a sigh of relief.
“Lomen, is there anything happening on the market?” Hansen remembered that he had been in town for almost half a month. Except for asionally dealing with some businesses in the mailbox, he had already put his work aside. Lomen was trained by his father and his sensitivity to matters was exceptionally high.So, he should be able to understand the situation.
“Don’t worry. There were some affairs, but with Mr. Trevor present, everything was settled,” Lomen replied, nodding his head.
“Then, let’s go.” Hansen led them home.
Jenna walked home with Jerry in her arms. She thought about what Mr. Koch had saidandfelt slightly heavy-hearted. The moment she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she heardughtering from the inside, and the voice was somewhat familiar to her.
What was the mattertely? It seemed that her house had be much livelier, and there would always be guests visiting. It all started when Hansen arrived.
As she thought, she entered the house with Jerry.
However, what was happening before her eyes stunned her.
Marissa held Sara’s hand affectionately andughed, while Trevor sat by the side, smiling and talking. The atmosphere was very harmonious and warm. Was it a dream?
She used to have such a dream. She was so eager to see that happening, especially after seeing how Marissa and Georgia chatted so happily. At that time, she felt so dejectedbecause Marissa did not take her parents seriously. She was also looked down upon by Marissa. However, at the moment, things were really different.
Both Trevor and Marissa came.
Looking at the smile on her mother’s face, they might havee as a gesture of goodwill.
“My grandson.” Marissa noticed Jenna entering the house holding Jerry.Right away, she stood up in excitement. Ignoring Jenna’s surprised look, she stepped forward and reached out to Jerry, wanting to carry him.
Jerry’s big, round eyes stared at Marissa vigntly. He had probably never seen such a noble-looking woman before. He was attracted by her clothes, and could not stop looking at her. However, when Marissa stretched her arms out to carry him, he shook his hands and refused.
“Jerry, be good. Let Grandma carry you, alright?” Marissa knew that children were sensitive to strangers.So, she hurriedly took out a limited edition Transformers toy she prepared from her delicate handbag and swayed it in front of him.
The toy immediately caught Jerry’s eyes. He stretched out a hand to grab it. Marissa gave it to him and took the opportunity to carry him and walked away.
Jenna had note back to her senses. She was still confused by what she was seeing.
“Jenna, you’re back.” After Marissa left, Trevor stood up and greeted Jenna in a friendly manner.
“Uncle Richards, you’re here,” Jenna stammered. She was dumbstruck that she still could not react.
Trevor smiled and nodded.
“Jenna, Marissa and I havee to pick you and Jerry up, as well as your mother, and return to A City.” With a sad expression on his face, he said emotionally, “Child, you’ve suffered.”
Jenna was not sure if it was due to excitement or happiness, but she could not even speak. She stared nkly at Trevor, pursed her lips, and didn’t know what to say.
“Jenna,Hansen’s parents hade to pick you and Jerry up personally. This is your long-term decision. Think about it carefully.” Sara sighed when she saw that her daughter was at a loss as she was too surprised. It seemed that no matter how good she was to her daughter, she would forget about her once she saw Hansen’s parents.
“Uncle Richards, have you recovered?” Jenna came back to her senses. With a smile, she asked politely.
“Yes, I have. This is all thanks to you.” Trevor chuckled and nodded. He then continued seriously, “Jenna, you should call me ‘Dad’. All these years, Hansen hasbeen looking for you.”
Jenna blushed and then smiled.“Please take your seat first. I’ll prepare some food. Let’s havesomething special and enjoya good meal.”
“Jenna, there’s no need for that. Let’s just go out and eat,” Trevor said, shaking his head.
“It’s alright.I have Aunt Lee’s help. Besides, she has already bought the ingredients. Also, Hansen doesn’t really like the dishes in Wullen Town.” She smiled, thinking of how Hansen had been pestering her to cook all day long.He certainly wouldn’t be willing to eat out. Moreover, with Trevor and Marissa present, he coulde over for dinner, right? ording to Sara’s tone, she hadpletely agreed to their marriage.
She felt an uncontroble surge of excitement. Sara had finally received the Richards family’s sincerity. It seemed that it was what her mother was waiting for. Surely enough, the Richards family had shown all of their earnestness.
Trevor and Marissa came at the same time.
There was nothing else that could better show their sincerity.
Sara would no longer stop her from being with Hansen.
She could see happiness waving at her.
She walked briskly to the kitchen. Bailey was selecting vegetables. When she saw Jenna enter, she smiled and said in a soft voice, “Congrattions, Miss Murphy. The Richards family has truly valued you this time. With Madam already agreeing to it, you can now bring Jerry back to the Richards Manor with you. The bad times are finally over, and the good times are finally here.”
Jenna smiled, not denying it.
After a while, she heard Hansen’s voice.
“Mom.” He walked in and called out to Sara first. Then, he turned his head to look at Trevor and greeted, “Dad.”
Marissa was with Jerry in his bedroom,smiling until her eyes were squinting.
Sara looked like she was in a better mood. She also no longer gave Hansen the cold shoulder. There was a faint smile on her face.
Jenna prepared a lot of dishesand the table was full.
In the evening, all members of the two families sat together. Since the reunion banquet six years ago, it was the first time they had a meal together.
It was a serious meal. To be precise, it was the first time the parents of both parties sat together and had a reunion dinner so harmoniously and sincerely ever since Jenna was married into the Richards family, and it was also happening in Wullen Town.
Jenna held her cutlery as she lowered her head and lookedat her te, deep in thought.
Six years. Six years had passed.
What was happening at the moment was what she had always yearned for. It was normal for ordinary families, but she used to feel that it could never happen to her.
Her vision gradually grew blurry as she stared at her te. She was losing her appetite.
