"Hansen, you promised me if I obtained the evidence Zoella used to frame Jenna, you'll marry me. You can't go back on your word, alright?" After Liya sat down on the sofa, she lifted her head and spoke with tears in her eyes.
The light in Hansen's eyes flickered.
"So, do you mean that you've obtained it?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Hansen, will you fulfil your promise?" Liya didn't answer him as she pressed on.
Looking at her, Hansen forced a smile and nodded after quite some time.
"Of course, I won't go back on my word."
"Well, I finally obtained the evidence Zoella used to frame Jenna, and I can hand it over to you right now. Then, when are you going to marry me, Hansen?"
The expression on Liya's face showed that she was staking everything on that, and she was also determined.
Hansen's eyes flashed as he asked without batting an eyelid, "Liya, did you really obtain the evidence?"
"Yes." Liya looked up and nodded. "Hansen, you should know that no one will chase after me and try to kill me if I hadn't obtained the evidence."
That was true. Otherwise, he, Hansen, wouldn't have left Jenna alone and rushed there.
"But, Hansen, I'll only give it to you when you marry me, so that you won't go back on your word." Excitement flashed across Liya's face, and her expression revealed persistence. She appeared to be determined, as she would never give up until she reached her goal.
Hansen laughed all of a sudden. "Liya, do you think you'll be safe if you don't hand it over to me? You've seen it just then. Someone's already trying to hunt you down once you've got it. Do you really think Zoella will let you off so easily?"
Liya's face instantly turned pale. "That's why I'm asking when you're gonna marry me, Hansen. You promised you'll marry me once I get the evidence."
Hansen looked at her with his lips curled up. "Do you really want to marry me as my second wife? Let me warn you that it's not as fun as you think."
"I'm not doing it for fun. I'm taking it very seriously. Hansen, I'm willing to do it." Liya's eyes were red, and her body was tense.
Other than doing so, she seemed not to have a better way out, and that was indeed a shortcut as
well.
Hansen's gaze grew even more stern and darker. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Give me the evidence first. We'll hold the wedding in a week's time."
"A week's time, really?" Liya said as her eyes shone brightly.
"Yes." Hansen's handsome face, paired with a dark blue perfectly- ironed suit, had a cold and stern expression. His entire body was emitting a mature and unstoppable aura of an emperor as he asked, "You don't trust me?"
"No, I trust you, I trust you. Since you're the president of such a big organization, you definitely won't lie to me." When Liya met his cold eyes, she felt a slight chill, which scared her. She then nodded in a hurry, opened her leather bag, and took out a box from it, handing it over to Hansen with both hands.
Hansen's cold gaze was fixed on the wooden box that was given to him. His eyes narrowed as he slowly took the evidence. It was as if he didn't ask for it, but Liya forced it on him in an attempt to flatter him.
Liya's heart was pounding.
Hansen weighed the wooden box in his hand. His face was indifferent while his heart was filled with another kind of pain and heaviness.
His men had been following Zoella for so long, but they still couldn't get the evidence. Liya ended up obtaining it. With that, Jenna's accusations could finally be clear, but because of that, the consequences...
"As long as I can prove Jenna's innocence, I will keep my promise," he said flatly. Then, he turned and left.
"Hansen." Seeing that Hansen was leaving with the evidence she had given him, Liya felt a sense of panic and began to beg from behind. "Hansen, can you stay with me? I'm scared."
Hansen turned his head around. "If you don't have anything else, you should go back to Richards Manor. There won't be any danger there."
After finishing that sentence, he strode off.
His departure brought about a gust of cold wind that blew towards Liya. She shuddered and lowered her head. Tears welled up in her eyes as the pain from the wounds caused by Oscar's torture were now stinging more and more sharply.
After a while, she collected herself and headed towards Richards Manor.
