Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 251

"Well, Mayor McAdams, let's discuss this matter later. I think there must be some misunderstanding." Not only was Marissa surprised, but she was extremely frightened as well. Jenna's current situation was already miserable enough. If legal action was taken against her, she would be needed to face a lawsuit and it would cause endless troubles. Moreover, her perception may not be the exact truth, therefore it was best to persuade them to calm down and settle things in private.

In fact, she didn't have the courage to tell what she saw as she feared angering Earl's family. Also, she may be accused of teaming up with Hansen to side with Jenna and mistreat Aria.

The world was unfair and some things could not be helped. Her only priority was to ensure the wellbeing of Richards Group and the Richards family.

"Misunderstanding or not, I do not care. The consequence now is that my daughter almost had lost her child and was deliberately pushed down by someone. This is already unacceptable. Why did she not communicate

calmly and resulted to violence instead?" Earl said with a dark expression. His uncompromising tone made Marissa feel chills down her spine.

"Uncle McAdams, we haven' t heard the statements from the persons involved as of now. It's still too early to draw a conclusion. If it was an understandable accident or a misunderstanding, it' s a special case. Fortunately, none of us suffered from any loss, therefore we should consider settling this on good terms," Hansen said calmly.

"No loss?" Earl frowned. "My daughter is now admitted into the hospital. Was there really no loss? It's a shame how you're the father to the child in Aria's womb. How can you treat someone who loves you so much so immorally? This is so disappointing."

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It was Jenna who deliberately pushed Aria down." Seeing Hansen blatantly defending Jenna in front of Earl, Georgia felt displeased and chimed in as well.

Hansen took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke out from his mouth. Amidst the grey smoke, his secretive expression made it hard for them to guess what he had in mind.

Earl's gaze wavered behind his spectacles. The corners of his mouth curled up to a cold smile.

He waved to the director and the personnel beside him, motioning them to leave

Soon, everyone else who was unrelated to the situation left the scene.

He positioned his spectacles with his fingers and laughed dryly. "Hansen, you're so skilled at brushing people off. Did you seriously think that the current situation can be resolved on good terms? If the problem was not settled thoroughly this time, no one could guarantee that accidents like so would not happen to my daughter again. I have only one daughter and I dare not take this risk anymore."

Upon saying this, he glanced at Hansen who had a dark expression on his face. Then, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder as he said, "Hansen, let's go out and have a good talk."

After finishing his sentence, Earl walked outside adamantly.

Hansen hesitated for a brief moment and walked out.

In the hospital's reception room.

Earl was sitting calmly while Hansen stood there almost submissively.

He had always remained a firm disposition in front of Earl. However, he seemed like he was unassertive this time as this matter was related to Jenna. If it was only he himself who was involved, he did not need to bother. He could even get on bad terms with Earl without a single care. However, it was a different situation at that moment.

He had to protect the woman he loved most and keep her away from any harm.

"Hansen, the date I gave you last time was far gone. I'm sure you saw as well that Aria's pregnant bump would be obvious in another month. When that time comes, it is impossible to conceal anything. You are a man and it's only logical for you to resolve this matter. It has been so long, haven't you made a decision yet?" Earl asked calmly with an insistent stare.

Hansen's gaze wavered as he answered politely, "Uncle McAdams, please be considerate of my difficulties. I really can't marry Aria. It's exactly because I am a man that I know what is best for the matter and for everyone as well."

Earl’s gaze darkened and his eyes stared into abysmal darkness. Suddenly, the muscles on his plump face twitched and his eyes flashed. "Apparently, this is what you actually want. Don’t take things too far, young lad. Stop thinking that we are all fools that you can trick on easily."

"Uncle McAdams, I am sincere. I can't do anything if you insist on thinking like this but what I want to say is that I have never looked down on anyone. You are an elder and a leader to me, I will always respect you," Hansen said solemnly.

"Really?" Earl sneered. "Let me be honest with you. I have never liked being wordy and I don't like losing my temper in front of young people but now I can't hold this in anymore. You're really challenging my limits."

Hansen felt that Earl must be hiding something and it was something that he was confident about. Despite being confused, he was not intimidated by his stern aura. He looked at him calmly and spoke with a serious tone, "Uncle McAdams, although I may be conceited at times, I believe that I have never challenged you in any way before. If I caused you discomfort in any way, please forgive me as I have difficulties that shouldn't be mentioned."

"Young man, you really know how to pretend." Earl felt that he was being fooled like a monkey again and he could not suppress his anger anymore. However, years of experience in the political world allowed him to keep his cool as he said coldly, "Fine, Hansen. Then let me ask you, what's the matter with Caleb Hodge? What's with Lixon Group then?"

Upon ending his sentence, his face was glum as he looked at Hansen sternly.

What else could he argue about this time around?

Hansen was taken aback. His heart sank.
