“Rest, Jenna.I’ll take you to the beauty salonter. There will be an important banquet tonight.The guests are all from upper-ss circles. We’d better be well prepared,” Hansen said after lunch at Collier Manor with Jenna.


    Banquet?


    Jenna froze. She recalled him mentioning it the previous day.It seemed that she could not escape it. Truth be told, she never liked attending these banquets.It was hard for her to force a smile.


    Jenna had been busy at work for the past two days.Hence, she was really not in the mood to attend the banquet. However, as a member of a rich and powerful family, she had to. She had to be cautious all the time, appear reserved and noble, or her husband’s reputation would be at stake. This was the most tiring thing for Jenna. It was one of the reasons she was not willing toe back with Hansen when they were in Wullen Town.This kind of life was too exhausting. All she wanted was a simple life.


    She pouted and followedHansento the bedroom.


    “I know you don’t like this, but will you do it for my sake?Please smile.” Hansenforted her when he saw her pouting.


    “Oh, this is so annoying.” Jenna threw herself on the bed and didn’t want to talk to him.


    “Come on. I’ll give you a massage.” Hanseny on the bed. He reached out to hold her in his arms andstarted massaging. Jenna enjoyed it very much.


    “Sigh, I like it just as much as you do. All those fake smiles and conversations. What’s worse, I have to face the people I don’t want to see. But we are not ordinary people.Our words and actions are being watched.” Hansen said, “I’ll have to hire an etiquette teacher to train you. After all, there’ll be many banquets in the future. Although you’ve done very well, we need to do better. Moreover, there’s still a lot more for you to learn. After all, the wives of rich and powerful families will attend these training sses every week. Not to mention that we’re the richest family. You should prepare yourself for more banquets in the future.”


    Hansen said in a soft voice. Jennahad gone to sleep with his gentle massages. She hadn’t heard a word he said.


    The sky became dark as the evening approached. The neon lights lit up and blended with the grey sky, as ifthe city was covered with ayer of colorful ss paper, giving off a mystical atmosphere.


    Hansen had already dragged Jenna to a high-end beauty salon earlier that evening. It took a long time until she heard the makeup artist say with amazement, “Mrs.Richards, you are gorgeous. So proper and graceful.”All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Really? Jenna was doubtful. In fact, she was now very ufortable because of these makeup artists. She guessed that her expression looked haggard. Even if she didn’t look like a mess, she was far from graceful. She didn’t know whether the makeup artist’s judgement was skewed or he was trying to tter her.


    “Mrs.Richards, this way please.” The makeup artist pointed to one side politely, showing her out.


    “Okay, thank you.” Jenna nodded with a smile and stood up.


    “Oh!” As soon as she took a step, she was about to fall as she was not used to wearing stilettos.


    That was it. All the effort of dressing up had gone to waste. Jenna looked at the shiny floor as her heart pounded. If she had fallen down, then her face would be bruised, and her body would be injured.


    “Be careful,Mrs.Richards.” The makeup artist held her in time.


    That was close! She was lucky that she didn’t fall down. Otherwise, it would’ve been embarrassing. She had a better impression of the makeup artist now. However, it wouldn’t do any good to go on like this. After all, she had never worn such thin high heels. Even the heels of her wedding shoes were thicker than this. Walking had already posed a challenge, let alone socializing with others.


    Her anxiety grew.


    Hansen was reading the newspaper leisurely by the reception. He raised his head as soon as the makeup artist helped Jenna out.s, this woman was really beautiful with her makeup done. Evenmore beautiful than she looked on their wedding day.


    The ck dress fit her waist and plump hips perfectly.What’s more,the dressplimented her porcin-white skin. TheV-shaped corshowed off her smooth neck, and the diamonds entuated her face. She was absolutely gorgeous.


    He curled his lips slightly and walked towards her.


    “Mr. Richards,Mrs.Richards’makeup is done.” The makeup artist tried to fawn over Hansen.“Your wife is so beautiful, Mr. Richards.”


    Hansen smiled and took out a stack of money from his wallet. The makeup artist happily epted the payment,smiled enchantingly, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Richards.”


    Jenna smiled as she carefully took one step after another…


    She felt very ufortable. The heels were too high for her.


    “Look at you struggling in those heels.” Hansen hurried forwardand carried her into the car.


    “Hansen, can I please change into a different pair of shoes?” She pleaded in the car. She couldn’t guarantee what would happen if she continued wearing this pair of shoes. She had to find some thicker heels.


    Hansen looked at her from the rearview mirror. She pouted as her delicate face was filled with distress.


    “Hansen, please. I really can’t get used to wearing this type of heels. I just want a pair that are slightly shorter and thicker.” She continued to plead.


    They still had half an hour to spare.So, Hansen took herto a branded shoe store.


    Finally, she changed into a pair offortable high heels. Jennaloved them like any other woman, but she obviously wasn’t passionate about stilettos. She preferredfort over fashion.


    The banquet had already been filled with all kinds of luxurious cars at the entrance when they arrived, which were mostly manufactured by Richards Group.


    “Jenna, here.” Everyone’s attention was on Hansen and Jenna as soon as they went in.Just like their wedding, the couple astounded the whole audience.


    The banquet was set on the greenwn by theke.


    It was filled with decorations. Square tables were orderly set withorchids on each of the tables.Bartenders and waiters could be seen everywhere. All kinds of food and drinks were ced on the main table in the center.


    The host of the banquet wasYezonHawk, a well-known politician. He was originally from A city and had once served as a mayor abroad. After retirement, he returned to A city. This was the first time he had held a banquet inA cityafter returning to Tambend. Not only were the upper-ss families of A city invited, but elites from abroad attended too.


    Yezon hade up to wee Hansen.


    “Mr. andMrs. Richards, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He extended his hands and greeted them warmly.


    “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hawk.” Hansen and Jenna extended their hands and said politely.


    “Mr. Richards, you’re so lucky to have such a beautiful wife.”Yezonheld Hansen’s hand and repeatedly praised.


    “Thank you,” Hansensaidhumbly witha proud smile on his face.


    After meeting the host, Hansen brought Jenna to meet famous businessmen andpoliticians.


    Hansen was considerate to Jenna. They had agreed that she would be fine as long as she stayed by his side. All she had to dowas to smile while Hansen carried the conversations. She wasn’t particrly tired after a while. Not to mention that she had a good nap at noon.


    “Jenna, there you are.”HannahAdames approached the couple just as they finished greeting everyone else.


    “Hello, Miss Adames.” Hansen greeted her out of habit and raised his wine ss.


    Hannah looked at him and raised her eyebrows. She smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Richards. Bottoms up.” Then, she finished the red wine in her hand.


    “Okay.” Hansen downed his wine too.


    Based on Hansen’s actions, especially how he treated Jenna,Hannah’s attitude towards him was much better. Seeing the two of them holding hands and showing affection, she jealously said, “Mrs. Richards, can youe with me now?”


    “Where are we going?” Jenna startled for a moment and asked.


    “Hey, you really value your man over friendship. Aren’t you afraid of getting tired of each other? Now that you have met the guests, it’s free time now. Men have their things to talk about, and we have ours too. Are you going to cling to your husband throughout the event? He is a public figure, and there will be activitiester. He will be criticized this way.”Hannahnced at her and said in a sarcastic tone.


    “So that’s how it is.” Jenna finally understood!
