Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 28

"Hansen, as you can see, this woman is a staff of our company, but she's having an affair with our biggest competitor. She obviously had an ulterior motive. We can't let her stay in the Richards Group, let alone appoint her as the manager of the design department!" Aria grabbed Jenna's arm and spoke confidently.

Hansen's face became livid, and his gloomy eyes were staring at Jenna.

"Hey, what's going on here?" A man in a suit and leather shoes came in, his hair was slicked with hair gel. On his handsome face was a charming smirk.

"Norton, why are you here?" As soon as Marissa saw this man, her face darkened in displeasure, but she still squeezed out a smile.

However, Norton Richards smiled carefreely. Without looking at anyone else, he walked straight towards Jenna, raised his hand, and patted Jenna on the shoulder, "Jenna, you're back, why didn't you tell me about it. Luckily, I unintentionally heard Auntie mention it. I came here as soon as I heard."

Norton spoke in a casual and soft tone as if he was Jenna's close friend, but there was a condescending feel in his tone that sounded as if he was trying to prove a point to Hansen.

Jenna moved to the side and dodged him. Norton tried to pat her on the shoulder again, but he missed as well. He was stunned and couldn't help but laugh, "Jenna, you're still the same as you were in University, cold and indifferent, keeping people away from you."

"Norton, anything I can do for you?" Jenna was very surprised when Norton arrived.

When she was still in university, she had a persistent admirer and that person was Norton. At that time, he was enamored with her and pestered her all day long. There were several times when he was drunk and almost molested her, but she cleverly avoided him. Jenna did not have a good impression of Norton. She always felt that he was very calculative and always had ulterior motives. She liked people who were decisive and competent in their career but led a simple life, just like Hansen.

Norton was the son of Claude Richards of the Richards Group. At that time, Old Master Richards stipulated that all the descendants of the Richards family had to take on the path of politics or business. This meant that one of them would have to venture into politics and the other, into business. At that time, the Old Master took a fancy to Norton's scheming mind, so he wanted Claude's heir to get into politics. On the other hand, he liked Hansen's quick and decisive character, and he had a unique sense of commercialism, so the Old Master cultivated him to be in business.

Of course, as the ancestral wealth of the Richards family was distributed per person, he would not be biased toward anyone.

The Old Master thought that young people were not stable enough before they got married. Therefore, he made it clear that the family wealth would only be distributed to the descendants of the Richards family after they had a family of their own and a successful career.

It turned out that the Old Master was wise.

As expected, Norton excelled in politics and he became the head of the Ministry of Finance at such a young age. His goal was clear, he wanted to take over the position of the mayor of A city.

Meanwhile, Richards Group, which was led by Hansen, was also unparalleled in A city and it dominated the whole city.

If the late Old Master of the Richards family knew about it, he would certainly be happy with the decision he made.

"Norton, why are you not at work? What are you doing here?" Hansen's expression was even darker. He didn't like his cousin ever since they were little. He always felt that his mind was too calculative, he was temperamental and too cruel.

"It seems that you all care about me very much. I didn't expect to meet so many of you. I only wanted to come and see my ex-sister-in-law," Norton smiled at Hansen and emphasized the 'ex-sister-in-law' on purpose. "It seems that I have come across some fun."

Hansen's expression became even darker, and his eyes were piercing.

Norton was very secretive in other aspects, but his love for Jenna was clearly sensed by Hansen. He saw Norton thoroughly during their University days.

The past flashed in his mind, and he became even more furious. The light in his eyes was cold, and he slightly squinted his eyes. His eyes were as deep and thoughtful.

His red lips twitched all of a sudden, "Jenna is a designer hired by our company. It's inconvenient for guests to meet her at work right now, and you, the head of the Ministry of Finance, are here to visit a female employee in our company during working hours. Do you think it'll be good news if this gets out? Don't forget what Grandpa told you back then."

Hansen gave him a strong warning, and he even mentioned his grandfather. At that time, the Old Master made it clear to Norton that family interest was his priority. So Norton must marry Sabrina Delia, the only daughter of General Delia from the army. It didn't matter who he loved; this was an order he had to obey. Moreover, he must be clean with his marriage, so as not to affect his political career.

When Hansen warned him, Norton's face darkened. He looked at Jenna and said, "Of course, I came here for work pertaining to the Richards family."

The muscles on Hansen's face twitched and a mocking smile appeared on his face. Did he think I'm a fool? Did he think he could hide the fact that he liked Jenna? Suddenly, he smiled lightly and said to Aria, "Aria, it's time for work. You can go and inspect all the departments and punish anyone who breaks the rules."

His voice was not loud, but all the staff in the corridor suddenly dispersed. Very quickly, everyone was back at their desks.

"Mom, since you're here, you should come and sit in your son's office for a while,1' Hansen held Marissa's hand and smiled gently. Although it sounded like he was trying to persuade her, he did not allow her to reject his request.

Marissa was born into a wealthy family and had always experienced the complexity of the business world. She knew that if the incident today was leaked, it would not be good for the company. Moreover, even Norton came over. He had always been hostile towards his own family, and no one knew what he came here for. She decided to follow Hansen and left.

Soon, there was only Jenna in the office.

It was not until everything around her was terribly quiet that Jenna sat dejectedly on the soft chair in front of the desk, curled up and closed her eyes.

She didn't know why Hansen didn't drive her away immediately, and she didn't know what he was thinking. Was it because Norton came to help her? Maybe he would settle the score with her later?

After staying in the meeting room for more than half an hour, Norton and Hansen left.

As soon as he came in, Marissa started to persuade Hansen, "Hansen, just listen to me and fire that woman. Even if she has great capabilities, she won't prioritize the Richards Group, she won't really do anything for Richards Group. Stop grasping on hope! Think about it, Whalen Group is such a good company, and Rayan is so good to her. Why didn't she just stay and work for the company? She loves money; the money from Whalen Group is definitely not less than ours. Think about it, you can figure it out." She added, "Moreover, she is such a troublemaker, she has so many men swirling around her, this wouldn't look good for the company.
