"Jenna, let's go back. I can't let you drink anymore," Sergio said gently. He held back his desire for her and reached out his arms to carry her out of the blue.
"No, I want to drink. Please, give me the wine." Jenna was drunk and no longer had control over her actions. She had drunk away her sorrows and she no longer remembered what had happened. All she wanted was to drink to her heart's content. Hence, she punched and kicked him as she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Sergio raised the wine bottle in his hand and threw it into the river. He carried her with both arms and headed straight for the car.
"Let her go." A booming voice rang from behind.
Sergio was stunned when he heard the voice. He stopped in his tracks and was about to turn around.
With a thud, someone punched him in the face. In an instant, Sergio felt dizzy and there was a burning sensation on his cheeks.
A pair of strong arms snatched away the woman in his arms and the person warned him in a harsh voice. "How dare you do this to her? You really are courting death."
Sergio steadied himself and Hansen's face appeared in front of him. He was seething with anger.
"Sergio, what exactly are you up to? Jenna is my wife. What exactly are you trying to do?" Hansen shook with fury and bellowed at the top of his lungs.
He received a call from Sabrina saying that Jenna had returned. Sabrina told him that Jenna was aware of his affair and was looking everywhere for him. She said that Jenna had already run out of the company.
His heart sank and he almost passed out when he heard the news.
D*mn. If Jenna knew what he had done, what would happen... He did not dare to think about it.
He did not expect Jenna to return so soon. He thought that she would spend at least a week abroad. However, she returned only after three days.
Why did she have to come back so quickly? Immense sorrow clouded his eyes and he thought silently to himself.
He did not have any time to ponder over this matter. Flustered, he spun around and dashed out of the office.
He searched high and low for her but to no avail. Hence, he thought of this place by the riverside.
He recalled that she had once become drunk over here when she was in distress. As a result, misfortune had almost befallen her when she encountered two scoundrels. The thought crossed his mind and he was on tenterhooks.
He dashed right over to have a look. Surely enough, she was there. However, Sergio was there as well. In fact, he was carrying her.
Fury swelled inside him at the sight of Sergio.
How dare he carry Jenna in his arms? He had gone overboard.
Fury surged through him and he dashed over to punch him in the face.
"What do I plan to do?" Sergio rubbed his cheeks, which was swollen from the punch, and sneered. He asked sternly, "Hansen, you know that she is your wife. What have you done to her?"
What had he done? His eyelids drooped but he did not utter a word.
"Since you can't give her happiness and are unable to protect her, you don't have the right to say something like that." Sergio sniggered and jeered.
Hansen clenched his fists as he hugged Jenna tightly. He used so much force that his knuckles turned white.
"Hansen, you're here." Jenna felt the familiar sense of warmth as she breathed in his familiar scent. It put her at ease. Even though she was drunk and could not think straight, she could still recognize at once that it was Hansen. She then hugged him tightly and cried, "Hansen, are you abandoning me? Have you fallen for another woman?"
She pounded on his chest as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her tears soon soaked his suit. However, she was still wailing in agony.
Hansen thought of the decision he had made that morning and felt a stab in his heart. His heart ached so terribly for her that he could barely speak due to the pain.
He hugged her tightly and neither answered her, nor did he comfort her.
"I warn you. She is my wife. Please stay away from her in the future. I bet you know how immoral this is and how it will impact your reputation if people know that you are trying to snatch my wife from me." Hansen's expression darkened as he gnashed his teeth and bellowed at Sergio. He shot him a withering stare and his eyes blazed murderously.
He knew very well what was on Sergio's mind. He was aware that Sergio liked Jenna and wanted her to be his wife. However, Jenna was his wife. How infuriating! How dare he insult him.
To his annoyance, Sergio only laughed and sneered. "Hansen, take care of her. Don't you dare betray her. If you do, I will be more than happy if she chooses me instead."
After saying this, he gave Hansen a wry smile and said, "Remember to hand over the evidence as soon as possible. My superiors are becoming impatient."
Upon finishing the sentence, he smirked and did not look at them anymore. He then turned around and left.
Hansen's expression darkened and it was apparent that he was smoldering with resentment. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to restrain himself.
After tightening his grip around Jenna, who was still sobbing in his arms, he hugged her tightly as he walked towards the Hummer.
The car pulled over and he headed straight for Richards Manor.
