"Hansen, don't you have any feelings for me left? Why, why did it become this way?" She shouted in pain and sorrow behind him, "Is it because of the car crisis we are facing? That's nothing. We can face it together. It's true. Believe me, this crisis will soon be over. By then, the luxury car industry of the Richards Group will dominate the market. Believe me, I am confident."
Tears streamed down her face, and she was devastated.
Indeed, as long as Hansen remained by her side, she would not be afraid of anything. After all, everything depended on them. She had already found a way. Soon, she would be able to get the Richards Group's luxury car industry back on its feet again.
She was not afraid of anything as long as he was by her side.
However, what he did to her was an insult. The hurt he caused was devastating and it was too much for her to bear. It was worse than dying. How could she withstand it?
She cried until she was breathless as she looked at his back, hoping that he would turn around to comfort her. However, this did not happen. It was not even possible.
He held Liya and left obstinately, never looking at her, not even once.
Sabrina looked at what was happening before her in disbelief.
If he flirted with Liya when Jenna was not around in the company a few days ago, or behind her back, it could still be regarded as a secret affair. After all, most men had mistresses and it was quite unavoidable. However, he dared to put on a public display of affection with Liya in front of Jenna that day, totally ignoring her feelings at that moment. What he did today was too much. It was worse than before.
What in the world was this?
Was love really so weak and fickle?
"Hansen, I'm fine. You'd better keep Secretary Murphy company!" Liya's big and fluttering eyes were glistening with tears. She raised her wounded face and said thoughtfully, "Hansen, she is in so much pain. I can't bear it. You'd better be by her side. I beg you."
Liya was actually worried that Hansen would leave her and return to Jenna's side after listening to her sorrows. She noticed that he was breathing heavily and his hand, which was gripping her, tightened subconsciously. It seemed like it was even trembling.
She was extremely nervous. So, she looked at him tearfully on purpose. She was acting generous, but she was actually scared and nervous.
"It's okay. We're at the company, not at home. Don't worry about her." He finally said this coldly and left while supporting her to the office.
Liya felt sweetness swirling up in her heart. At least she had achieved her goal, as Zoella had asked her to seduce Hansen and provoke a misunderstanding between the couple. However, for now, she wanted more than that.
Hansen's talent, noble status, and the assets of the Richards family made her heart flutter with excitement. Even if she could not be his legal wife, she would still be willing to be his second wife. She would be living a comfortable life for a lifetime.
These hectic days would soon be gone forever. She wanted to be superior, to become the wife of a rich and powerful family, to have infinite money to spend, and be envied by others. With Hansen, she could get everything she wanted, just like how she had experienced in these few days. Hansen could get her a dress worth tens of thousands of dollars without hesitating.
As long as she liked the jewelry, it would be hers immediately. Such a luxurious life could only be provided by Hansen.
Moreover, he was so handsome. She would be the center of attention and be envied by others if she showed up with him. This was the high society that she longed for. Now that she finally had this opportunity, she would not give it up so easily.
Jenna could not see anything, only countless shadows which were overlapping with each other. She felt cold all over her body, especially in her heart.
Hansen's words almost pierced through her heart. She couldn't bear it anymore.
He helped Liya into the office. Jenna's mind went blank. Her world was filled with darkness. She couldn't even see the figure clearly, despite being so familiar to her.
She felt a sudden warmth in her mouth, and a fishy and sweet smell gushed out of her throat. She took a step back and almost fell down.
"Jenna." Sabrina held onto her in time and cried out in pain, "Let me help you have a rest."
Sabrina shot a glance at Hansen's office and her heart felt cold.
She could not face and accept what had happened.
The way Hansen behaved sent a chill down Sabrina's spine.
Had Liya successfully separated this loving couple just like that? Or could it be that their relationship was so fragile that it couldn't withstand challenges at all?
At an inconspicuous corner of Foreston Restaurant.
A woman in a muted purple dress sat in the corner. She chugged down shots one after another. Her cheeks were flushed and she was drunk. She couldn't even speak clearly.
"Hansen, why, why did you betray me? I'd rather you lose everything. Even if you become a beggar, I'd still be willing to be by your side. But what I can't stand the most is your betrayal. Don't you know? It's worse than taking my life!"
