"There's really no need for that." Jenna pushed him. How could Hansen carry her like that in broad daylight? Liya was still watching from the sidelines too.
Hansen held her tightly in his arms and carried her to the electric vehicle. He then placed her on his lap and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
Jenna's face instantly turned red. It was still daytime right then. What was he doing!
Liya stood rooted to the spot, as she watched Hansen affectionately leave with Jenna in his arms. Her face turned pale, and she really didn't know what to do, as tears welled up in her eyes. At that time, she understood that she would never be able to replace Jenna in that family.
In the study on the third floor, Trevor stood by the window and saw what had happened downstairs.
The corner of the old man's eyes had a lot more wrinkles within just a few days, and those were traces of his old age, as well as the effects of the urgent situation currently. He looked at the scene below with his eyes. Hansen loved Jenna a lot. If what would happen next would only hurt him, he might still face it with a smile, but the one who was going to get hurt was one of his loved ones.
That kept him awake for days and nights.
"Mr. Trevor, are you really going to leave everything over to Young Master and let him deal with it?" Lomen asked worriedly, as he also saw Hansen's and Jenna's love for each other.
Trevor's eyes were filled with wisdom. He gazed at the electric vehicle, as it moved further and further away. A faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"It's time to hand the matter over to him. He knows what to do." Trevor muttered to himself.
"However, the situation right now is extremely urgent. Seeing that the Young Master and the Young Madam are so loving, it might be too risky to have him marry Liya for real." Lomen's worries weren't unreasonable at all.
In order to save Claude's life, the three of them had secretly decided on the date of their marriage, but they were still waiting for Hansen, as his plan was just a step away from completion.
"Mr. Trevor, Young Master's plan has already taken effect. Currently, Zoella is indeed starting to suspect Liya, but up till now, we're not sure if she'll deal with Liya. If Zoella still hadn't pushed the crime into Liya's mind by the day of the wedding, then the police would not be able to arrest her either. And if that happens, the wedding must still be held, and Liya is most likely going to become the Young Master's second wife. This is not a good thing for Richards Manor." Lomen's explanation and deduction were very good.
Trevor was very worried, but he was very certain at the same time.
"Thus, the matter of Hansen marrying Liya must be publicized widely, so that more people will believe it for the best, but we can't let Marissa and Jenna know the truth. Zoella is a very cautious person, and she can just tell the truth from people's expressions. She'll definitely pay attention to Jenna's expression at all times." Trevor ordered in a deep voice.
Just then, Hansen was calmly standing in the study as well.
"Our family is in danger. You should know what to do." Trevor knew that at that moment, Hansen was more upset than anyone else, but he still remained calm and reminded Hansen.
If his act couldn't even convince others that it was realistic, then what more Zoella and Reid.
They knew that they couldn't expect to use the marriage to deal with Zoella and Yadriel, but at the very least, they needed to get rid of Liya and rescue Claude. That was the most basic requirement, and they had to fulfil it, no matter what.
They couldn't afford not to fulfill it at all.
The conflict between the war-torn countries was intensifying, and the terrorist organizations were desperate as well, as they had no more time to lose.
They couldn't count on the local or international police to deal with those terrorists, as the government and the military couldn't even do anything about it, let alone them. The most important thing at the moment was to rely on their own wisdom.
"Dad, don't worry. I know what to do. I've always been doing it this way." Hansen leaned against the desk. His calm attitude was a sharp contrast from the tense atmosphere in the study.
"Dad, how can I bear to marry Liya to save your brother and hurt Jenna? But please rest assured, I will still do as I was told, as this is my duty and responsibility as the head of the family." His expression was as cold as his voice.
"Alas." Trevor heaved a long sigh. "Hansen, this is an unconventional gambit, but we still have to try it even though it may not work. Saving Claude is our utmost priority right now. So, we can only do this in the face of justice."
Trevor's voice sounded a little mournful.
Hansen remained silent as he turned and walked out of the study.
Trevor stared at his son's back with a heavy heart. When he looked down at the Green Jade Garden and saw that Hansen was leaving with Jenna in his arms, tears welled up in his eyes.
He knew that Hansen was doing that because of his guilt towards Jenna, and he was trying to find a way to make up for it.
They had to take that step, no matter what, as they had no other alternatives left. Trevor apologized to Jenna in his heart.
They didn't want to hurt Jenna. Hansen has been preparing for that day for a long time, and they hoped everything would be as they expected. If Hansen was really forced to marry Liya, Trevor hoped that Jenna would forgive them.
In fact, when the butler told him that Liya was going to move into Richards Manor, Trevor knew that Jenna certainly understood their intention to have made such an arrangement at such a time.
Perhaps, she didn't know anything, but she should have sensed something, as she was smart.
Making that decision at that time was extremely beneficial to them.
The Hummer stopped at the first floor of the Francist Community.
Hansen held Jenna's shoulder with one arm and carefully escorted her. The smile on his face was soft and gentle, to the point that butter would not even melt in his mouth.
Jenna wanted to get rid of him. After all, they were in the commune, and it was not appropriate for them to be so intimate with each other.
"What's there to be afraid of? We're husband and wife." Hansen understood what she was thinking and laughed softly in her ear.
