“It’s very simple. Liya will just be the second wife. Even if she were to marry Hansen for real, she won’t be greatly respected in Richards Manor. From Liya’s current mental state, she’s very likely to seek revenge against Richards Manor. So, why don’t you just sit back and take advantage of her?There are so many benefits to this.” Sergio’s eyes were filled with a smug smile. He was giving her pointers at the right time.
Zoe’s eyebrows twitched.“What are the benefits?”
“It turns out that you’re always smart but sometimes a fool, huh?” The sarcastic smile at the corner of Sergio’s lips grew apparent.“Don’t you want to take revenge on the Richards Group? At present, Liya is the best pawn to do so, but you want to abandon such a good pawn. I really feel sorry for you.”
Right then, Zoe’s started to twitch as well, as she looked at him with a nk and helpless expression.
“Think about it. Don’t you want Hansen to suffer? Don’t you want to take revenge against the Richards Group? Think about all the schemes you’ve used, and how they’ve ended up. The evidence against Jenna has been stolen by Liya, and right now, Hansen has broken free of his one and only weak spot. Although he doesn’t have any evidence to prove it, he knows that you’re the mastermind,and he definitely won’t let you go. Please use more of your wits, Zoe. You can’t take down the Richards Group like that. Hansen can do things as he likes, now that you can’t threaten him anymore. As long as he fights back a little, youwilldefinitelybe destroyed miserably. Don’t even expect to get the revenge you want. I’m afraid that you can’t even escape from him. You should’ve known by now that the Richards Group is starting to break through your encirclement, and they will definitely recover their strength soon. Besides, Sadiva wants to make use of Hansen’s finances to finish the construction for the Regional Games.So, what’s the use of you using Honold?Can he beat his own father? Will he be willing to fight his father for you? You’ll know that it’s impossible if you think about it. It’s obvious if you analyze what has happened in these few days.”
Sergio’s long speech made Zoe break out in cold sweat.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Zoe slowly came back to her senses when Sergio illuminated the situation. If she had gone to the wedding to expose Liya that day, then Liya would’ve exposed her too, and then they would fight each other. At that point, only Hansen would gain the upper hand. It was very likely that she and Liya would both lose due to infighting. Why hadn’t she thought of that before?
The unease and annoyance inexplicably disappeared.
It turned out that she felt that way because she knew that method wasn’t a good move. That was why she had such negative reactions.It was just that she didn’t notice it.
“Then, do you mean to let Liya be Hansen’s second wife for real?” Zoe asked with her eyes wide as she clenched her fist.
On the other hand, Sergio looked calm andposed, nodding his head, as if it was the absolute right thing to do.
“Mr. Xanthe, I feel that you’re sacrificing me because you aren’t able to get Jenna. You want Hansen to marry Liya as his second wife for real, so that Jenna will file a divorce. Since she can’t bear it anymore, then you’ll gain a chance at courting her, right?” Zoe wasn’t stupid. Sergio was a man who only did things for his own interests. She was certain that Sergio came there that day wasn’t because he cared about her.
She was not a person to be taken advantage of with such ease.So, she asked that question in return at once.
“I don’t care how you think, but I guess you can’t rule out the possibility that I have this thought,” Sergio admitted it loudly.“But the reason I came here this time is mostly for your own good. Think about it. If you expose Liya, then it will be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot. The two of you will suffer a lot from the infighting, and then you’ll never find the chance to take revenge against Hansen anymore. You should really think about this matter carefully, and weigh the gains and losses.” He stood up and reminded her in a condescending manner. “I’m doing this for your own good, and also for everyone’s interests. Think about it. If you lose the pawn that can keep Hansen in check, then you’ll lose. It will be difficult for you to find another opportunity to find another weakness of Hansen’s. Then, you’ll never be able to achieve your goal. However, if Liya stays with Hansen and causes trouble, even if she does not grab hold of his weakness, it will still have an unexpected effect. If a man with a prestigious background has a woman like Liya by his side, isn’t trouble bound to happen? With that, your opportunity will surelye.” Sergio saw through Zoe’s mind, and he exined carefully.
Zoe gradually became sober.
Wasn’t that the truth?
“Then, don’t you think that Liya will betray us if Hansen recruits her to his side?” she asked gingerly.
“Not at all.” Sergio inserted his hands into the pockets of his trousers, looking elegant and calm. He answered with certainty, “It is a tragedy for a woman like Liya to marry into the Richards family. As long as Hansen is no longer threatened, I can guarantee that he won’t even take a second look at Liya, let alone touch her. The only person he loves is Jenna. For her, he is willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life. He will only give his love to Jenna, and he won’t ever love Liya. In that case, Liya’s mental state will surely crumble, and she won’t be resigned to it and would find a way to seek revenge. At that time, we can just stand aside and watch them make a fool of themselves. We will be able to see how Liya ruins Hansen’s married life, and how the Richards Group will be destroyed.”
Zoe was lost in thought.
“Also, for Hansen, aside from his family and Jenna, no one else will be able to make him feel threatened. And if you want to achieve this goal and make him ufortable, the most effective way is to let Liya disturb his family and make his life miserable. This way, you can achieve your goal, and opportunities may even appear. You are a smart person. So, surely, you understand this point, right?” Seeing that Zoe was hesitating, Sergio continued to advise her.
Sergio’s advice was effective. Although Zoe was sitting, lost in her thoughts, she seemed much calmer than before.
Nevertheless, no matter how Zoe looked at it, she felt ufortable letting Liya be Hansen’s woman, his second wife.
In her eyes, a woman like Liya only deserved to be toyed with by Oscar and abandoned, after he lost interest in her. So, how could she let her beHansen’s,everyone’s dream man, second wife? Even if it was just bing Hansen’s second wife, many women were more than willing to do so. Not to mention that Hansen was young and handsome, the inheritance they would get was already a great sum of money. That was the life that many women dreamed of. Could it be that she really had to watch Liya simply achieve the dreams of many women?
Zoe thought that she really needed to think carefully.
How could Sergio be so kind to help her? In the end, it was still for his own benefit.
As she thought about it, a warm smile appeared on her face.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Sergio approached her, put his elbow on the table, and stared at Zoe’s face again.
“Others may not know how you’re thinking of Hansen, but I know it very well. Why don’t you think about it, and see if I’m wrong? Only when you adhere to my advice will you have the chance to get Hansen. Liya will only be the second wife at best, and it’s impossible for her to be Hansen’s proper wife. However, she might be able to do even more things for you if she is by Hansen’s side, and you can take advantage of that. Think about it carefully, isn’t it logical? If you’re too hasty, you might end up with nothing.” Sergio gave a dryugh and asked, “Do you know what’s Hansen’s biggest weakness?”
“What is it?” Zoe’s curiosity was piqued by Sergio’s eloquent words.
“Hansen is shrewd andpetent when ites to business. If you fight with him in the business field, then you will only end up in the losing end, not to mention that the Richards Group has such a strong family background. What do you have to fightwithhim? During this period of time, isn’t it because you had seized his weakness that you were able to make a mess out of the Richards Group,as he didn’t want to hurt Jenna? But even so, it’s useless. He will be able to recover soon, and you won’t be able to take advantage of his weakness anymore in the future. If you want to conquer him and destroy the Richards Group just with your own strength, then dream on. It’s impossible. Besides, the fact that you framed the Richards Group for unauthorized disclosure will soon be exposed by Hansen, who has gotten rid of his threat. His people will sooner orter find Yaris and the other pieces of evidence. Then, you will be destroyed, to the point that you can’t recover anymore. On the contrary, Hansen is much more childish when ites to rtionships. His biggest weaknesses are Jenna and his family. So, think about it. shouldn’t you let Liya stay by his side as the second wife for the time being? Also, she’s just going to be the second wife. I believe that you’re not interested in such a lowly position.”
As he said that, Sergioughed and said, “Zoe, look out for yourself.”
After that, he strode out of the office.
The room became terribly quiet all of a sudden.
As if the air had spikes grown on it, they rushed towards Zoe and surrounded her.
She began to tremble, feeling bursts of chills.
Sergio was right. If she couldn’t stand being wronged at that moment, then the consequences might be even worse.
She had Liya’s recording in hand.So, she could definitely threaten to do things for her. At present, since Hansen had lost his one and only threat, the Richards Group would soon return to its former glory. After experiencing that incident, he would definitely pay more attention to the Richards Group, and the Richards Group would definitely be invincible. As for Jenna, after experiencing that incident, he would definitely use better ways to protect her. It was impossible for Zoe to hurt her again.
Zoe continued to think about it more carefully.
How could a woman of Liya’s status be respected after she entered Richards Manor? Therefore, it would be a perfect opportunity for Zoe to ce a pawn by Hansen’s side.
How could Liya, who had suffered all sorts of humiliations in Richards Manor, be willing to ept that?
If she made a fuss and caused Jenna to leave…
An evil and excited smile shed across her face, but she was afraid that Sergio would get all the benefits. Itcaused her to hesitate and have her own suspicions, but her mind had already been shaken.
