Hansen watched as Jenna's beautiful figure walked confidently in front of him. She did not even spare him a glance. The light in the dancing hall outside flickered, blending into all sorts of colors. It made her look mysterious.
Hansen followed behind her. The corners of his lips curled up as he stared at her back. He could see her bare back, her silver high heels, and her hair casually tied up at the back of her head. She was indescribably charming and alluring. She turned around and propped one hand on her waist. Her eyebrows furrowed and said with a hint of anger, "Alright, Hansen, you have guts. How dare you do these things behind my back."
Hansen was shocked. As soon as he walked out of Paradise House, he took a step forward and held her in his arms. His eyes glistened. "Baby, are you angry?"
Jenna glanced at him, and there was a halo in her eyes. Hansen didn't know whether she was mad at him or she was seducing him. He was enticed. He had made love to her that afternoon, but now a wave of desire emerged, and his body reacted quickly.
He lifted up her delicate chin with slender fingers and tilted her face up. Then, he whispered, "Baby, I was wrong. I apologize."
"Let go of me." Jenna swatted off his hand that held her chin, and then glared at him. "Let's go home now."
"Yes, yes." Hansen gave a smile.
Jenna didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the parking lot.
Hansen cackled like a lackey and trailed behind her.
Frederic shook his head and said, "Looks like Mr. Richard's life is over. He lets his wife control him." After they left, the atmosphere in the VIP room was no longer fun.
The scene of Hansen being henpecked had not escaped the men. No matter how much Hansen tried to pretend, he would not be able to hide it from them.
"It never crossed my mind that Jenna would have it in her to be able to subdue Hansen." Chester added. He smiled faintly as he recalled the contract from that time. He had wanted to fool her but had been defeated easily. He had lost all his dignity.
"You guys are just jealous that he has a beautiful and outstanding wife." David, who was not yet married, saw through them. Thus, he immediately
taunted them.
"I think she's good. She has the capabilities and knows how to win a man's heart. Unlike all of you, who can't be comforted at home, and can only find comfort outside. Your sarcastic words mean that you are jealous." Honold spoke out at the right time. He had a good impression of Jenna.
He had met the wives of Frederic and Chester. None of them could hold a candle to Jenna, and the bare- faced Jenna was more attractive and beautiful in real life.
His words touched Frederic. Frederic had to marry his wife for the sake of his family's interests. The loveless marriage made him linger outside every day and unwilling to go home. Even though his father knew this, he would turn a blind eye to Frederic's behavior. As long as he didn't divorce, it was fine. If Frederic had a beloved wife to take care of him, he wouldn't act like this.
"Cough. Let's continue to play. From now on, Mr. Garver will replace Mr. Richards and have fun with us." Frederic waved his hand and said with a smile. Hansen already had a beautiful wife. So, he could flirt without worry. Frederic thought.
Soon, everyone began to hug the beauty next to them and resumed the poker game.
In a dark spot of Paradise House, Zoella stood in a corner and watched Jenna and Hansen leave. The light in her eyes was as sharp as an eagle's.
"Miss Yates, it seems that Hansen loves his wife and listens to her much." Octavia stood at the side and looked at their backs as they left and said with a sigh.
"Yes, they're a happy couple," Zoella said with an eerie smile.
"Miss Yates, there are several orders that went to Richards Group today. It seems that it will be difficult for us to survive in A City. Our situation is getting worse day by day." Octavia could not hide the worry and helplessness on her face.
The flame in Zoella's eyes flickered and condensed into a knife.
"Octavia, have you heard that every flow must have its ebb?" she said softly, and the smile on her face was scary.
Every flow must have its ebb? Octavia was taken aback.
Did Miss Yates mean that Richards Group had reached its peak, and it would meet its ebb soon?
Octavia looked at Zoella suspiciously and nodded.
"Nothing lasts forever. No matter how strong Richards Group is, they will not be able to escape their downfall. Moreover, they have been thriving for too long. It's time for them to take a break," Zoella muttered.
After saying so, she burst out laughing.
Octavia stood at the side and looked at her, feeling creeped out.
Richards Group was as solid as granite. How could it be easily taken down? What was more, its assets and portfolio involved every industry. It was easier said than done.
Octavia felt that Zoella's words were not credible, but her confidence still surprised her. Many problems would emerge if Richards Group suddenly collapsed. Many small companies that were attached to Richards Group would fail, and Octavia was afraid that it would cause financial turmoil in A city. It would be disastrous.
