Sergio stood in the darkness and watched the couple leave. A hint of coldness shed in his eyes.
“Not involved with politics? Do you think this will prevent the century-old foundation of the Richardsfamilyfrom being harmed?”
“Huh, I’m afraid you’re dreaming.”
“Even if the Richardsfamilywishes to find a path free of any influence, it would be improbable.” Sergio thought.
The smile on the corner of his mouth was getting colder and colder.
“Hansen, are you angry? I really came here with Hannah.I only metSergio muchter,” Jenna muttered. He had misunderstood her rtionship with Sergio back in Wullen Town. Now, she was afraid of raising his suspicion. Hansen was easily jealous.
“Silly girl, you are my wife now. Why should I be angry? I believe everything you say.” Hansen reassured her with a smile.
A broad smile appeared on his face, devoid of any misgivings. His joyful appearance waspletely different from the suspicious appearance she had seen previously.
Jenna could see that he had no prejudice. She felt so sweet that she could melt. True love was about trust and believing in each other.Even in the face of the people whom they had some reservations about previously, they would still be open and easy-going.
“When you see MadamLiliater, you must behave your best and show off your graceful demeanour. Is that alright?” Hansen changed the topic and said with a smile.
Jenna became nervous and even slowed down her pace as soon as she heard his words.
As far as social interactions went, she had already attended quite a few of them and could handle them easily. However, it was the first time she would be meeting a high-ranking woman like MadamLilian. Initially, she wasn’t concerned but she became nervous as soon as Hansen reminded her.
Of course, her nervousness did not escape Hansen’s eyes.
Hansenughed and slowed down his steps. He wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and giggled.“Silly girl, I’m only joking. Don’t worry. MadamLilianis lovely and doesn’t put on airs. You just follow my lead. Besides, there will be many people. Everything’s going to be okay.”
Only then did Jennalet out a sigh of relief, and her whole body rxed. She chided him.“You’re really mean, Hansen. You always like to y tricks on me, hmph!”
Hansenughed, held her small hand tightly, and continued walking.
Next to theoutdoor center stagewas a wide square table. Several luxurious white tables and chairs were arranged on each side, and a delicate ring light hung in the air, lighting up the area to resemble daytime.
Many guests stood on either side, and the scene was orderly and harmonious. Laughter could be heard from afar.
Even though Hansen tried tofort her, she still felt tense. By some miracle,Jenna felt a sense of relief the moment they approached MadamLilian. In fact, she felt very much at ease. The air wasced with an amiable and lovely scent.
As they got closer and closer,Jenna caught a glimpse of Madam Lilian.
It turned out that Madam Lilian was so elegant and beautiful! She was much more beautiful than the person she saw on television. She was in her seventies, yet her skin was fair and glowing, with only a few wrinkles. No matter how she looked, Madam Lilian looked like she was only in her fifties.
Jenna was astounded. In her imagination, a female politician would generally be smart and wise.As for looks,it was alright as long as they looked decent.
However, MadamLilianwas clearly different. Not only did she have a dignifying appearance, but she also possessed an elegant aura. The confidence and calm aura she exuded was something that an ordinary woman could not give off. Furthermore, she looked like a woman from a wealthy family rather than a globally sessful woman.
What surprised Jenna, even more, was that there was a sense of familiarity from Madam Lilian.
Therefore, her heart had calmed down.Jennawas more than happy to get close and speak to her. Their conversation flowed naturally andMadam Lilian was pleasant.
“MadamLilian, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Hansen walked up with Jenna and greetedMadam Lilian.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Madam Lilian looked at him with a smile. “Are you Mr. Hansen?”
“Yes.” Hansen smiled and replied respectfully, “This is my wife, Jenna Murphy. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Oh, the pleasure is all mine.” MadamLilian’s eyes first fell on Hansen’s face. She nodded slightly as if she approved of his looks. She had heard of the young and talented Hansen when she was aboard. However, she had never had the opportunity to meet him personally. When she saw him with her own eyes, she felt that he was indeed imposing, with an extraordinary temperament. She turned her eyes to Jenna as soon as Hansen introduced her.
As soon as she looked over, she was surprised.
Jenna was wearing a ck and elegant gown.Not only did her beauty stand out from the rest, her elegance and refined temperament easily caught Madam Lilian’s attention.
She had high standards when it came to women, especially towards their temperament. There were a lot of pretty women, but there were very few with a pristine disposition.She had seen numerous women by now, but very few were like Jenna, who could attract her at first nce.
What made her even more surprised was that Jenna felt familiar to her, especially her eyes.Madam Lilian wasexcited. She wanted to get to know Jenna better.
Perhaps, it was fate.
Thinking of this,Madam Lilianlooked at Jenna with a smile on her face.
“Nice to meet you, Madam Lilian.”Jenna smiled and slightly bowed. Her bright eyes were twinkling.
“Nice to meet you,Mrs. Richards.” Madam Lilian was delighted.“You are a wonderful woman,Mrs. Richards. I can already tell,you are well mannered and virtuous. Mr. Hansen is a lucky man.”
She spoke amiably and sincerely.
The people surrounding them could feel Madam Lilian’s love for Jenna. The affection was genuine.
Sergio was standing at the side. He quietly watched all of this while feeling startled.
Was this due to kinship? Even though they did not know each other, they still naturally showed their affection towards each other. Sergio knew their rtionship all too well.
As he thought about this, his face contorted. Hisdarkeyes dimmed.
“Yes,Madam Lilian. My wife is extraordinary. I’m a lucky man to have her.” Hansen didn’t hold back his praise.
Jenna smiled, but her face wasbright red.
“Can he stop embarrassing me? How could he praise me so shamelessly?” She thought to herself.
“Very well.” Madam Lilian said upon hearing Hansen’s praise.She smiled and said to Jenna, “It seems that you guys are in love with each other very much.”
Jenna smiled shyly and replied, “Yes,MadamLilian.We may have been through a lot of ups and downs, but we truly love each other. Our love today won’te together without any painstaking effort, and we believe that there is indeed true love in the world.”
She spoke with deep affection and confidence. Shelooked at Hansen and the two of them smiled at each other as they shared a deep affection for each other.
“Oh, really?” That piqued MadamLilian’s interest. She smiled and said, “It’s a great thing for a couple to be happily in love. It’s no wonder Richards Group is prospering. It’s all due to the mutual effort between husband and wife. I hope that we get to sit down and have a meal together someday. I’d love to listen to your stories.”
“Jenna, I like you a lot,” she said frankly.
“Thank you, Madam. I also admire you and feel a sense of familiarity.” Jenna was ecstatic to hear this and had a better impression ofMadamLilian. “It’d be an honor to have dinner with you,MadamLilian. I’d like to invite you toRichards Manor,” Jenna said sincerely.
“That would be lovely,” MadamLilianreplied. She looked around and felt a little sad. This ce had once been filled with her dreamsand her poor daughter who had been forced to separate from her, at only one month old. She was dejected at the thought of not being able to find her daughter.
