Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 438

Old Master Richards had once advised him to stay away from politicians, as the relationship with them would eventually become complicated. After the incident, Hansen couldn't agree more.

They were helpless, unable to do anything, and were forced to obey Sergio's orders. Although they had done nothing wrong, they had been charged with a serious offence. How infuriating!

Back then, Old Master Richards had been threatened by a politician as well. Hence, he went the extra mile and tried to groom Norton to be a politician, so that he could protect Richards Group in the future. It was a pity that Norton did not appreciate what he had done and his efforts had been wasted.

The members of the Richards family could only be associated with politicians who were part of the family. Staying away from politics was one of the rules that Old Master Richards had emphasized to the younger generations. However, Hansen had been blackmailed, despite being cautious all this while. He was forced to deal with a politician, and there was no way he could get himself out of it.

"Mr. Xanthe, you may be a public official. However, regardless of what authority you have, we are just citizens who have always obeyed the law. I don't believe that you can distort the truth deliberately and ignore the law. I'll like to warn you again that we have always followed our principles and regard integrity as something of high importance. Hence, we are not afraid to have you here. You better investigate the matter thoroughly or I will definitely sue you," Hansen said through gritted teeth.

He was not threatening him. Richards Group was a big company. They would not be as foolish as to be involved in the leaking of the nation's top secrets. All these years, the Richards Group had contributed a lot to society. Everyone was aware of their contribution. Hansen believed that Sergio could not determine the Richards Group's fate as he wished.

The Xanthe family had lots of connections, but so did the Richards family. Hansen refused to believe that Sergio would be able to keep them on a short leash.

Sergio was shocked when he heard what Hansen said. Hansen's words rang true. Although he was a public official, he could not act as he wished. After all, the Richards Group was pretty powerful as well.

At that moment, he decided to tone down his arrogance. However, he retorted with a sneer.

"Hansen, I don't care what you say, nor do I care about the connections your family has. We have found evidence that you guys were involved in the leaking of the nation's top secrets. What's more, I'm not kidding around. Those pieces of evidence were found by my superiors. We have every right to believe that you guys are guilty. If you wish to prove your innocence, you must show us some evidence."

Once he had finished his sentence, he furrowed his brows and sniggered. "Well, we find the office on the 86th floor to be unsuitable. It's too far from your office where orders are being given. Hence, it would not facilitate our investigation. We will like a room next to your office, so that we will be near. This will enable us to collect all the necessary evidence more efficiently."

Sergio snapped. His expression was unreadable and he no longer cared what they thought.

He even wanted an office beside theirs to keep an eye on them. It was infuriating!

A raw burst of rage rose in Hansen. This guy definitely had some ulterior motives for being here. He even wanted to keep an eye on them all the time. How disgusting!

However, they had no choice but to obey. He was a public officer and he was here to investigate the matter. What could they do? Jenna forced a smile and replied, "Mr. Xanthe, that would not be an issue. We have not done anything wrong. Hence, we are not afraid. You may investigate as you wish."

After saying that, she went out of the office and called for Yuri.

"Yuri, clear up the room opposite my office for Mr. Xanthe and his team. They won't need the room on the 86th floor anymore." She instructed quickly. "Besides, ask some cleaners to clean up the room. Be quick."

"I'll get it done right away." Upon receiving the orders, Yuri left immediately.

Jenna returned to her office. "Mr. Xanthe, is the arrangement okay for you?"

"Yes." Sergio spun around to look at her. Her eyes were brimming with tears and her smile was strained. Nevertheless, there was a fierce determination in her eyes. Sergio was moved.

She and Hansen had already gotten a divorce. However, she still returned to his side. He was afraid that it would be difficult for them to overcome the challenge this time around. Hence, he sighed.

Zoella would not let the Richards Group off the hook so easily. He was well aware of that.

"If that's the case, you may do as you please. We will like to discuss something in the meantime." Jenna was afraid that Hansen would blow a fuse. Hence, she wanted to bring him back to his office. To her dismay, she heard Sergio saying, "From today onwards, we will record whatever you do. You must cooperate with us all the time. We have the right to know what you are doing."

What? Were they going to restrict their freedom?

Hansen's cheeks burned with anger and he clenched his fists again.

"Sure, we will obey whatever you say. We need to work right now. Now that we have recalled the cars, there is a lot that we need to do. We will be in the office right beside yours and you may investigate as you wish," Jenna responded as she led Hansen back to his office.

"F*ck." Hansen slammed his fist against the table upon sitting down at his desk. His eyes were bulging from their sockets.

"To all the executives, gather in the conference room. We will be having a meeting." He turned on his laptop and sent an email.

Soon, Hansen, Jenna, as well as the other executives gathered for a meeting. That night, the building remained brightly lit as everyone stayed behind, trying to find a solution to the matter. They had begun to accept their fate. What a cruel

thing!

Everyone was under immense pressure due to the incident. It was a disaster that threatened to ruin everyone in Richards Group.
