Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 223

"That would be great." Sabrina happily applauded as she stared at Jenna. "How about it, Jenna? I told you so."

Jenna smiled.

Sabrina had a captivating gaze, glistening with traces of innocence, and her smile was pure happiness. It was unlike Jenna's smile, which had different meanings behind it.

After Hansen and Christopher left, Jenna and Sabrina brought forward the idea. Just as Meroy predicted, Vivian immediately agreed and promised to give them 20 million dollars to organize this annual banquet. Vivian wanted the event to be as lively and festive as possible.

Jenna and Sabrina were shocked by her immediate response.

They couldn't grasp Vivian's thoughts. Even when it was her ninetieth birthday, the family was not allowed to publicize it. It was a surprise that she would invest so much in such a common annual banquet.

But now that she agreed and was willing to hold such a banquet, Jenna couldn't say much.

Soon, the news that Jenna was organizing a New Year banquet spread throughout Richards Manor and the entire manor was filled with excitement. The quiet garden instantly came to life.

Jenna soon felt the glamor of being a master.

The servants rushed to her and paid their respects to her. They wanted to get some work and benefits from her.

What was the meaning of holding an annual banquet with 20 million dollars, making sure it was festive and joyous?

It felt like buying happiness, spending money in a unique way.

Therefore, this opportunity to make a fortune was the envy of many, including corporations that used to earn money through Richards Manor. Every one of them was finding ways to get close to Jenna.

Jenna was in a position of power, beaming with pride. Her reputation instantly skyrocketed.

However, she was unaffected. She was neither humble nor proud and did not get close to anyone.

She knew that all of this did not belong to her.

The head office of the manor was located in Ink Garden, where Jenna worked every morning.

After thinking about it for a long time, she planned to set up the banquet on the central island. She was planning to decorate the place as a mysterious plum blossoms garden, along with a plethora of delicious delicacies. She planned to set a stage up and invited famous singers and celebrities.

Because of the cold weather, they needed tents. There was an observatory in the center of Richards Manor, which was blessed with a gorgeous view of A city. Standing here at night, they could see the whole city glistening with stars along with the jaw-dropping island view.

Jenna was the one who thought of this design.

Sabrina practically shadowed Jenna. She followed her every day and everywhere, constantly making suggestions. She vowed that they would hold the best annual banquet ever.

This day, she sat on the hanging rattan chair on a balcony, browsing all sorts of delicacies. She was swinging her feet, contented.

This hanging rattan chair was her favorite spot, where there was a thick plush quilt, keeping her warm against the chilling wind outside.

Jenna was afraid of the cold, therefore she sat in the office and worked inside instead.

"Norton, you're here." Suddenly, Sabrina's surprise cry came from the corridor.

Jenna was stunned and raised her head.

"Sabrina, are you comfortable living here?" Norton approached, smiling, and said softly, "How is your father?"

"He's fine. Thank you for asking." Sabrina's face was painted with a tint of pink. Her expression softened, left with just a small smile hanging on her face, her eyes glistening.

"That's good. Hey, Sabrina, I initially planned to visit your father before New Year but too many things got in the way. Since you're here, just have fun. I will take you out someday," Norton said gently.

"Okay," Sabrina replied while fidgeting with her hands, her head lowered.

Norton's eyes flickered behind his lenses but there was a warm smile on his face and his eyes glanced into the room from time to time.

"What is Grandma doing?" he asked casually.

"Grandma has been having chest discomfort these two days but she is resting," Sabrina replied with a smile, gaze soft and gentle.

"Then, everything is fine, right?" Norton looked a little nervous and asked with concern.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Meroy is an experienced doctor and she is looking into it," Sabrina smiled and replied.

"Okay, that's good." Norton breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

"Aren't you going in to see Grandma?" Sabrina asked with wide eyes as she suddenly raised her head.

"I think it's best to not disturb her," Norton hesitated before he said gently. After a moment of hesitation, he said seriously, "Sabrina, I have something to ask you. Can we talk in private?"

"Okay," Sabrina agreed enthusiastically.

Norton turned around and walked outside, Sabrina followed behind closely. Both of them walked at a steady pace.
