The light in the private lounge was dim, but it did not hinder Hansen from seeing Zoella's eyes clearly. He frowned and reached out his hand to clasp her chin.
"Zoella, let me warn you. If you insist on putting the blame on the Richards Group, then come at us. However, the consequences of maliciously framing us, as well as breaking the law, I think you know it well too. So, don't blame me for not reminding you at that time."
Hansen could understand a little about that woman's intentions. Nevertheless, her behavior was too ridiculous and unreasonable. He did not think that Zoella had any special feelings for him. After all, they had been rivals ever since they were young. Although they had met a few times when they were young, Hansen had never once looked at her properly.
Therefore, he believed that Zoella's behavior right then was because she was misled, and she blamed all her father's failure and death on the Richards Group.
In the business world, everyone had moments where they would win or lose. As long as people didn't use any illegal means, no one would hate them. If one really had the skills, one could rise again and compete with the winner, instead of using such illegal means.
That woman must be crazy!
"Mr. Richards." On the Hummer, John and several dark figures arrived there in a hurry, "The plan has worked. Zoella has already started to suspect Liya. It's estimated that Liya will soon be dealt with by Zoella. They'll at least turn against each other."
It was only until then did John realize why Hansen treated Jenna coldly and deliberately hugged and interacted with Liya in front of the public media.
That night, Liya had initially schemed to sleep with Hansen and make the marriage become a real thing, but the plan was thwarted by Zoella.
Then, what kind of mentality did Zoella have? Why did she want to ruin it? Was it only because of Liya's betrayal? That really left him in a state of confusion.
However, the fact that Hansen was able to successfully make use of Liya to make Zoella suspect her suggested that he had done the correct thing. If his guess was correct, Liya would be able to obtain the evidence of framing Jenna very soon.
Meanwhile, Liya would only end up being ruined
by Zoella.
That was the best outcome, as they didn't even have to do anything and that woman would end up getting hoisted by her own petard. That showed that Hansen's move was indeed brilliant.
On the other hand, Hansen was sitting in the driver's seat and looking out of the window with a deep expression on his face.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but when he recalled Zoella's crazy laughter, his expression gradually became cold.
"All of you, keep an eye on Liya for the next few days. Report to me immediately if there's any movement." Hansen ordered in a deep voice. According to his plan, Liya would soon go to Zoella's place to steal the evidence.
"Okay." John smiled as he relaxed his eyes.
"Remember, before we get the evidence, we must ensure Liya's personal safety." That was Hansen's last order. He knew that Zoella was a woman who would do anything. So, if Liya provoked Zoella, anything could happen. Plus, before they get the evidence, he did not want to cause any other trouble.
John quickly understood what was on Hansen's mind and immediately nodded.
"Has there been any progress on the suspect who attempted to murder Jenna that day?" Although Hansen was almost certain that the suspect was someone Zoella sent, but he had no evidence so far and could not hand her over to the police.
"I haven't found any evidence. The police have been investigating it too." John shook his head.
The police? Hansen smiled faintly. If he really relied on them, there would probably be no news from them for another year or so, and the case might not even come to an end then.
Furthermore, right then, everything was based on evidence.
His fingers rapt on the steering wheel as he started the car all of a sudden. The Hummer then let out a low roar, and he drove it into the darkness.
Dawn finally came.
All the crimes had been obscured by the darkness.
Her whole body hurt. It was as if she had been run over by a car, or being burned alive. Liya's whole body was in excruciating pain.
That gut-wrenching pain gnawed on her body bit by bit, like a snake, and made its way into her blood, and bit her from the inside, causing her to hurt so much that she wanted to die. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't even manage to shout.
Then, she fainted. When she woke up again, she saw that ugly face, which was tormenting her bit by bit, and she fainted again.
That was the most terrifying feeling that Liya had felt the entire night.
She had never thought that a man could be so terrible, and that this had happened to her.
All her dreams were shattered in an instant.
It was also as if she had been thrown into an ice-cold cell. It was so cold that she was trembling all over.
'Are you not awake yet?" An ice-cold and terrifying voice rang in her ears.
Liya pried open her eyes with great strain.
A hand was holding a bottle of cold water and pouring it onto her face.
As the water splashed on her eyes, she immediately closed them due to the pain. The moment before she closed her eyes, she saw a grim and delicate face.
She couldn't care less about the severe pain in her body anymore.
She struggled to sit up
The cold water stimulated her and woke her in an instant. There were still beads of water on her forehead and face.
"Zoella, how could you be so vicious as to set me up?" Her eyes were burning with a fire, as she asked the woman in front of her harshly while pointing at her.
