"So you are Sergio?" Sabrina was extremely shocked. She looked at Sergio in disbelief.
Her father, General Delia had called her numerous times, saying that the Xanthe family would love to have her as their daughter-in-law. He asked about her opinion regarding the matter. Sabrina was in no mood to think about marriage. Hence, she grew evasive and tried to avoid his calls as much as possible.
To be honest, although she lived in Capital City, she had never seen him before, as Sergio was mostly in the army. However, she had heard that he was very good-looking and talented, which was why her father agreed to the marriage. However, she was not interested in him.
She was surprised to see him over here even though she had no feelings for him. Hence, she widened her eyes in disbelief as she examined him from top to bottom.
"Are you Miss Sabrina?" Sergio stood up and smiled at her politely.
"Yes." Sabrina sized him up for a while. Once she confirmed her first impression of him, she gave him a nod and answered his question.
Both of them were well aware of the arranged marriage proposal. Sabrina disregarded him and spun around as she flashed Jenna a smile. "I haven't gotten the chance to see Jerry. You must bring me over to Green Jade Garden to meet him. By the way, how's Grandma?"
Grandma? Jenna's smile was strained. However, she did not say anything and just gave her a nod.
"Jenna, how's the situation right now with the cars? Have you guys found out the cause? The cars are popular in the market and the future is full of potential. Why would something like this occur? There's definitely a misunderstanding," Sabrina asked in puzzlement. "It must be a scheme. Someone wishes to destroy you. They must be jealous of your sales. You must investigate the matter thoroughly. We cannot let the matter slide so easily."
"Yes." Jenna nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Jenna. If anyone dares to ruin the Richards Group, they must do so over my dead body. I will investigate the matter as well and find the culprit, so that they will be brought into custody. Jenna, rest assured, as long as I'm here, I will not allow anything to happen to the Richards Group." From what Sabrina recalled, the Richards Group had always been very powerful. A crisis as severe as this had never occurred before. She couldn't accept it and she trusted them completely. All she wanted to do was to try her best to protect the people whom she considered to be her family.
What she said prompted Sergio, who was standing by, to furrow his brows.
Sabrina was acting so childish. Besides, what did the crisis faced by the Richards Group have to do with her? Why was she so agitated?
His expression darkened and he examined her.
Jenna noticed his expression and understood immediately what he was thinking. She took Sabrina's hand in hers and said with a smile, "Sabrina, I'm so delighted that you could come over. We can talk about it later. Let me take you to Richards Manor."
"Jenna, there's no need to rush. I'm worried about the Richards Group. The cars designed by the company are so attractive and practical. It's a shame that they have been recalled from the market. I believe that the Richards Group is not foolish enough to leak the nation's top secrets. We must investigate the matter thoroughly. Before getting to the bottom of the mystery, I don't wish to return to Richards Manor," Sabrina said through clenched teeth. Seeing Jenna and her swollen eyes made her very anxious. She was in no mood to return to the Richards Manor. All she wished was to find the culprit.
Jenna's heart sank and she glanced at Sergio, who was standing at the side.
At this moment, Sergio had already turned around as he slowly sat on the couch. He leaned against the couch and frowned. He did not seem to be in a good mood.
Jenna was worried that Sabrina would provoke Sergio further with her words. Hence, she wanted to pull her out of the office.
"Ms. Murphy, you and your company are under my team's supervision currently. We have the right to know everything that you are doing and you are not supposed to leave our sight. I hope that you can cooperate with us as well." Upon seeing that Jenna was about to leave with Sabrina, Sergio reminded her.
Upon hearing what he said, Sabrina understood at once that Sergio was here because of the crisis that had occurred to the Richards Group. His tone was far from friendly. Fuming mad, Sabrina spun around and sneered as she said sardonically, "Oh, it looks like Mr. Xanthe is here to investigate the matter. I was wondering why you suddenly appeared. It looks like you are actively taking part in ruining the Richards Group's car business."
What Sabrina said triggered Sergio and his anger spiked. His mouth formed into an unpleasant twist as his jaw clenched.
What did she mean when she said that he had ruined the Richards Group? It would ruin his reputation if anyone were to hear it.
However, he remembered that Yadriel had gone to meet General Delia to arrange for their marriage. Hence, he could not afford to offend her right then. The thought crossed his mind and he slowly calmed down.
"Sabrina, the incident that the Richards Group has been involved in is too complicated. You are just an outsider. You don't understand what's going on. You shouldn't intervene in this matter. What about this? We knew each other when we were kids. Although we were busy with our respective careers ever since we have grown up and have not met each other for a long time, fate had brought us together, which was why we met today. Why don't I take you on a stroll around A City. What do you think?" He stood up and said earnestly. He really wished that Sabrina would not intervene in the matter, as it had nothing to do with her and she would only make it more complicated. After all, he wished to gain General Delia's approval and offending him was the last thing on his mind.
To his dismay, Sabrina's expression darkened upon hearing what he had said and she said firmly, "I don't care. I'm going to intervene in this incident. The Delia family and the Richards family have known each other for generations. We are well aware of their backgrounds. Now that they are in trouble, we will not just sit back and watch. As for you, how can you be gloating over the misfortunes of the Richards Group? You even demanded that Jenna ask for your approval before going out. You are just here to make their lives difficult."
