“Norton, I already know about this. I’m trying to think of a solution,” Trevor said indifferently,ncing at Norton. However, Trevor seemed very serious.
Upon hearing this, Norton was surprised. He spoke hastily.
“So, Uncle Trevor, you already know where my Dad is, don’t you?”
“No.” Trevor shook his head. “I only know that your father is missing, but I don’t know his exact whereabouts yet. It’s very likely that your father has provoked a terrorist organization there.The situation right now is veryplicated. I’ve already sent people over. Stay at home and wait for me. When you’re needed, I’ll let you know.”
On the other hand, Trevor remained calm.
However, Norton was desperate and his sweat was all over his face.
“Norton, rest assured. ude is my brother. Besides, the Richards family doesn’t have many descendants.So, I will try my best. I hope you can learn from the past and be a good man. Try your best to take the right path and settle down. This way, you can win glory for our family.”
The words made Norton rx. His face was full of shame as he lowered his head.
After returning to Green Jade Garden, Trevor and Hansen entered the study. The father and son duo closed the door and stayed in the study the whole night beforeing out.
In the splendid hall, rhythmic jazz music yed on. The hall was teeming with the smell of red wine and people’sughter, and it was also filled with enthusiasm.
The blue, exquisite pcentern hung high in the middle of the hall, surrounded by a circle of small decorativemps. The floor was covered with a scarlet carpet and low-hanging velvet blue curtains. The whole hall was romantic and charming.
Under the dim and gentle light, a pair of wealthy businessmen of A City arrived sessively with their wives and lovers.
This was a banquet held by the rich businessmen of A City, which was their custom. It was held by the elected members of the chamber ofmerce. On the surface, it was a social event, but in fact, it was a fight or collusion between the rich people.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Oscar’s shiny hair wasbed back neatly. He wore a suitandwalked in a high-profile manner with the elegant and gorgeous Zoe.
It was a pity that his short and portly figure, in contrast to Zoe, made the scene so striking that it looked funny.
However, that night, Zoe was in a surprisingly good mood. She had a decent smile on her face, and based on her gaze, she seemed to be in high spirits.
Following that, Hansen, who was holding Liya’s hand, also walked in gracefully.
Without a doubt, the renowned Richards family of A City took up the spotlight of the banquet. It had always been the case that as long as Hansen appeared, he would immediately attract everyone’s attention.
Mr. Kemp from the chamber ofmerce stood in the hall and respectfully greeted Hansen.
Liya was dressed in a noble evening gown with bejewelled hands. Her face was flushed with happiness. She stood next to Hansen gracefully, clinging to him closely. The happiness and satisfaction on her face came from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as Hansen appeared in the hall, he immediately attracted the praise of the women present. He had a charming smile. Although he talked andughed with a group of rich businessmen, he only had concern and consideration for Liya, who was close to him.
This woman, Liya, became the center of attention of the party that night. Hansen made her the rising star within high society in A City overnight.
Even Zoe’s dazzle was overshadowed by her.
Zoe stood in a corner of the hall, her hand wrapped around Oscar’s arm while her body stiffened. Oscar dared to use his fleshy hands to take advantage of this situation and caress her body, causing her to feel extremely disgusted.
Zoe stared at Liya and immediately narrowed her eyes.
As the saying went, clothes make the man.
d in the fabric of the ssy evening gown and all kinds of jewelry, Liya seemedpletely different. It was as if she had been reborn. Her temperament was just like that of an aristocraticdy who came from a rich family. She was the most beautiful woman in the hall.
What was even more enviable was that she was with the graceful Hansen.
Thebination of masculine strength and feminine beauty was so impable that it blinded the audience present.
The media caught wind of the news and began to make their move.
“Mr. Richards, I heard that we are expecting a happy announcement from you and Miss Liya. Is that true?” A media reporter took advantage of the moment, as Hansen was resting, to approach him and boldly conduct an interview.
“Haven’t you already reported it?” Hansen frowned as he asked unhappily.
The media reporter responded with an ‘oh’ and looked embarrassed. Soon, his face was full of smiles.
“Then, congrattions to you, Mr. Richards and Mrs. Richards.”
Hansen shed a faint smile and did notment.
When they saw that the reporter had seeded in conducting the interview, in an instant, a few more journalists surrounded them.
“Mr. Richards, may I ask, when are you nning to hold a wedding with Miss Liya? Will this wedding be the grandest wedding of the century?”
A thought shed across the depths of Hansen’s mind. He then smiled and said magnanimously, “This depends on Miss Liya.” After saying this, he ced his arm around Liya’s waist, lowered his head, and asked in an affectionate tone, “Is that right, darling?”
Liya flushed when she heard Hansen and she had a wide smile.
“It looks like Mr. Richards and Miss Liya are so in love with each other.” shes of light constantly beamed from the cameras, and many peopleplimented them.
However, there were reporters with a sense of justice. At this moment, he was not afraid of death and brought up a sensitive topic.
“Mr. Richards, may I ask, if you marry Liya, will your current wife, Jenna, be sad? Did she agree to this?”
As soon as he asked this touchy subject, all the people present immediately quietened down.
To everyone’s surprise, Hansen smiled confidently.
“My wife is gentle and virtuous, and she is very understanding. She has never opposed my decision, and she respects me very much.”
Was that really the case? Rumor had it that Hansen was afraid of his wife.
Nevertheless, after all, this was how the wealthy operated. So what if it was real or fake? It was just like the current King of Gamblers, who was almost 70 years old. There was a rumor that he was going to marry his fifth wife!
“Then, Mr. Richards, which country are you going to register in? Is it the UK? Where are you going to hold the wedding?”
“You will know when the timees.” Hansen was truly patient that day. Although he did not answer the questions in aprehensive manner, he answered them one by one.
“Mr. Richards, your second wife is gentle and beautiful. You are so lucky. It’s so enviable.” A reporterplimented.
…
Surrounded by reporters, the smile on Liya’s face was as bright as the stars as she was overjoyed right now.
After a while, Frederic entered arm-in-arm with Lenny. They attracted the attention of some reporters.
The ce was lively.
When Sergio entered, almost everyone arrived. He was a politician and came here alone. Compared to Hansen’s high-profile manner, he was really subtle.
After the interview, the reporters left. Frederic finally saw the high-profile Hansen arm-in-arm with Liya. He smiled and looked at them as if he was looking at a monster.
After a while, in a secluded corner, he pulled Hansen over and quietly teased him when the women were gathered together.“I didn’t think that you being afraid of your wife was just some made-up story. You’ve changed so quickly in the blink of an eye. You’re even better than us when ites to redefining the terms.”
Hansen balled his handinto a fist, with a faint smile on his face.
“Didn’t I learn it from you? It’s the trend now, isn’t it?” He snorted and didn’tment.
“Well, you’re so fierce.” Frederic reached out his hand and hit him on the chest. “Can I reallypare to you? I have no love, but only the family’s interests. Now, I have found my true love, and don’t want to let Lenny suffer. So, I have to do this. But Jenna is extremely in love with you, and she is so smart, virtuous, and elegant. She didn’t expect you to do such a thing. I don’t know how hurt she is. From the way I see it, Liya is beautiful, butpared to Jenna, I really don’t think she is better than her. You’d better be careful and not y with fire. When you regret it, don’t me me for not warning you.”
There was an instant where Hansen’s face turned terrifying but soon, he chuckled.
Frederic shook his head with pity, feeling sympathy for Jenna in his heart.
He had no choice but to take this path. He and his wife had no feelings at all. If he had a choice from the beginning, he would not have done this.
However, Hansen waspletely different from him. He was really in love with Jenna, and he also loved his family. At this moment, he waspletely unable to understand Hansen’s thoughts.
The party was very spirited, with vibrant songs and dances. The scene was grand and ssy.
This was the highest echelon of the banquets that Liya had attended before. She was so excited that her face turned red. She followed Hansen all the time like an innocent, clingy girl.
Hansen was courteous to everyone, and his smile was very subtle.
“Liya, let’s toast.”
After a while, Hansen took Liya’s hand. He held a wine ss in one hand and stepped forward with his long legs. He had started toasting them elegantly.
Zoe looked tense, and the stiff smile on her face made her look hollow and listless, no matter how one looked at her.
The most abhorrent thing was that Oscar’s stout body kept getting close to her, and that virile smell of Oscar’s was off-putting.
When Hansen took Liya’s hand and slowly came over to toast her, her face turned a little pale. Her hand, which was in Oscar’s hand, was hidden in her palm, and her heart beat violently.
Hansen’s tall and slender body carried a faint, masculine aura as he approached her. The smile on his face was adequate enough to captivate all women. He was polite and extremely refined.
As long as a woman took a look at such a man, it will be pleasing to the eye. Zoe was enticed by his elegance and finally got rid of the nausea she got from Oscar.
“Mr. Jones, Miss Yates, I’ve heard a lot about you. Let’s toast.” Hansen raised his wine ss with a cheerful smileand proposed a toast. It was as if he was not suspicious of the Sky Sword Group that was seizing the businesses from the Richards family. His generosity and elegance, coupled with his captivating voice, were fascinating and enchanting.
This was a man born and destined to be noble. He was facing a crisis, but at the same time, he was talking andughing, looking calm andposed.
At this moment, Zoe had a feeling that her revenge ns could not destroy this man. He was born to be a business expert and nobody could change his mind easily.
“Mr. Richards, Miss Liya, thank you and cheers.” Oscar immediately smiled and kept nodding his head in return. After both of them clinked their sses, he drank the wine in his ss in one gulp. He burped and his face was full of admiration. “Mr. Richards, your new wife is as pretty as a picture. You’re really lucky.”
As he spoke, he sized up Liya as he gazed at her. He couldn’t hide the envy in his eyes.
Zoe nced at him coldly and her cold gaze also unconsciously drifted to Liya’s happy face. A sour feeling welled up in her heart. However, in an instant, the smile on her face became seductive and charming once again.
“Mr. Richards, thank you for your ttery. I’ll toast you first.” Zoe picked up her wine ss and clinked it against Hansen’s. Then, she gracefully finished her wine in one gulp.
She removed her hand from Oscar’s hand without anyone noticing, and the smile on her face became more and more charming.
“Mr. Richards, I have to thank your deep-pocketed Richards Group for allowing a smallpany like mine the opportunity to survive. Today, I must toast you, no matter what.” She walked to the side and poured two sses of red wine at the table. She handed over a ss of wine to Hansen, and a waiter relieved him of the empty one in his hand.
Hansen was stunned for a moment before taking the wine ss from Zoe with his slender fingers. His fingertips vaguely brushed across Zoe’s slim fingers. Heughed heartily.
“Miss Yates, you are so funny. You are amazing. Within such a short period of time, yourpany prospered dramatically, which is why I truly admire you. I must drink this ss of wine, Miss Yates.”
The two raised their sses and clinked them in the air.
They were all smiling.
After that, both of them drank the wine in their sses simultaneously.
