Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 221

"Shut up," Hansen shouted in anger. "Idiot, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"I'm despicable and shameless, sure, but are you any better?" Norton sneered. "You are not much better than me. I love Jenna but I would never hurt her. However, you deceived her feelings from the beginning. You hurt her and left her scarred, you're not a man. Now that Aria is pregnant with your child, you're stuck with her; she won't let you go. How much have you hurt her and disappointed her? Don't you feel sorry?" He scoffed. "God is fair. If I can't get her, you can't either. You know how she is. How would she forgive you?"

When Norton said this, he burst into tears laughing.

Hansen's worries were exposed one by one and a deep pain flashed across his eyes, his fists clenched.

"A*shole, that was all because of you!" he lashed out in fury when Norton reminded him of the incident at Hilton Hotel. However, Vivian's words rang in his ears, "From the same root they were born, torture amongst left cruelty and forlorn." Norton and he were the only descendants of the Richards family. At this time, Norton was walking on thin ice. As the elder brother, Hansen figured it was his responsibility to give him a hand.

"Tell me, who released you on bail and why?" Hansen tried his best to suppress his anger and forced himself to calm down with all his might. He spoke in a low voice.

Norton still had a cold smile on his face and he did not bother to answer.

"Norton, this is more complicated than you think. You're involved with murder, you shouldn't come out at this time. I can only protect you if you listen to me and try to eliminate any suspicions so that you can come out safely and legally. Even if the court decides to punish you, at least you can feel at ease and you can live an honest life after that. Our family is strong. If you come out in the future, you can work in Richards Group. After all, we're family. We're the only descendants in the family. We should support each other and work together to maintain our family’s business. You know our businesses are big and need people to take care of them. The crimes you committed would not affect that but you really shouldn’t be out now," Hansen said earnestly. He hoped that Norton would come clean with what happened so that he could make the subsequent decisions.

"Tsk tsk, that was the perfect speech." Norton laughed out loud with distrust and disgust on his face. "Stop acting like a goody-two-shoes. Do you think I believe you? I'm not dumb. I can figure these out on my own."

His eyes were filled with indifference and disdain. He pointed his finger at himself and growled, "I’ve said this a long time ago. I didn't mean to kill Javon. I ordered Brock to find a way to stop him from participating in the election the next day. That was it. I wanted to prove my abilities. But, the d*mned man actually killed him. What else could I do with that? I've said this countless times but no one wants to believe me. During these days in detention, none of the Richards came to see me, let alone comfort me. Now that I'm out, you're saying all this fake bullsh*t. You expect me to listen to you?"

The more he spoke, the more emotional he became. His eyes were red when he stared at Hansen coldly, veins on his forehead popping.

"That's enough. I didn’t go to see you to avoid suspicion. You don’t have to believe me but do you not trust your mother? Her eyes are swollen from crying. How could she not visit you? It was the Public Security Department's orders and we had to prove your innocence. We didn't want others to think that just because you are the grandson of the Richards family, we'll bribe the Public Security Department to let you go," Hansen shouted at his stupidity. "If things are like what you said, it means that there's still more to your case. Although we have not found out about anything, we believe that we can find a breakthrough, provided that you cooperate with us."

Hearing about Maria, Norton calmed down and came to his senses. However, his eyes soon flashed with fear.

No, he could not go to jail.

That experience was horrible.

How would Hansen be so kind to help him? This case had so much solid evidence and he has already settled his charge. From other people's perspective, it was impossible to turn the case over. It was Brock's doing and Norton was the one behind him. He could just blame himself for being unlucky. It was useless.

What happened had happened. The law only judged based on evidence. Everyone understood this and it was no use for Hansen to fake kindness.

At the moment, he could only use this method to get out of jail. He could not think of any other way.

Since someone gave him this chance at freedom, of course he had to grasp it. This was the only way.

Thinking of this, Norton sneered at Hansen’s persuasion.

"Norton, there are many ways to prove yourself. Why did you use such a method to stop Javon from joining the election? You are harming yourself and everyone else," Hansen reprimanded in utter disappointment.

"That's easy for you to say. You have Richards Group and your father's business passed down to you. But, I can only rely on myself in the political scene. Everyone in the office will do anything to get the title. Do you think we can make it just by our work performance? Pathetic," Norton trembled as he spat out the words in despondency.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Don't waste your energy and waste each other's time."

After Norton finished speaking, he stormed towards Emerald Garden.

"Norton, I hope you can think about what I said and be clear about the situation. Come to me anytime if you need anything. After all, I don't want you to be wronged," Hansen said after Norton's back.

Norton's footsteps only paused for a while before he continued to move forward, not once turning back.
