Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 525

As soon as Jenna returned to the Ink Garden's office, she saw Maud hurriedly coming in with a panicked look on his face. It was obvious that he had something important to ask her.

"Madam, I have something to tell you." As soon as Maud entered the room, he respectfully reported to Jenna.

"What's the matter?" Jenna asked with a smile, prompting him not to be so anxious.

"It's like this, Madam." Maud wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Yesterday, Liya came to find me and said that she's moving into Richards Manor. Since she insisted that it was Mr. Richards' orders, I had no choice but to arrange accommodation for her."

Maud spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that Jenna would be provoked.

Jenna just replied a faint 'oh', as a hint of imperceptible pain flashed in her eyes, saying flatly, "I already know about this matter. Just follow Mr. Richards' orders."

"Yes, Madam. I've already arranged accommodation for her according to the rules of Richards Manor." Seeing that Jenna did not have any obvious reactions, Maud relaxed a

lot. "There's one more matter."

Speaking of that, Maud's face became very uneasy. He had never imagined that Sergio would come to Richards Manor that day as well and ask him to arrange a place for him to stay.

He truly was making things difficult for him.

That was why he hastily ran over and met Jenna for instructions when he saw that she had returned.

"Mr. Xanthe from Capital City is here as well. He also said that he would be staying in Richards Manor," Maud said with great strain.

Sergio was an official who was investigating the Richards Group right then, and it was clear why he wanted to stay at Richards Manor. That really put Maud in a dilemma and made him worried. So, he came to consult the head of the household in a hurry.

Upon hearing that, Jenna was surprised as well. What was going on? Sergio was going to stay in Richards Manor too? What was that all about?

Just as she was caught by surprise, she heard Mercy's voice drifting in from the outside. "Mr. Xanthe, thank you for coming to visit Old Madam. I would like to thank you on her behalf."

Then, Sergio's faint voice rang, "It's alright. I need to stay here for a while because of official matters. Where is the head of the household? Tell her to come and meet me."

Upon hearing that, Jenna grew impatient and walked out of the office.

"Sergio, why have you come to Richards Manor?" she asked Sergio as she walked out with a serious expression.

A charming smile appeared on Sergio's face when he heard her voice.

"Jenna, I happen to have something to discuss with you. Why don't you choose a suitable place for us to talk?"

"Well then, come to my office." Jenna couldn't understand Sergio's behaviour at that moment. If the Richards Group was guilty of leaking trade secrets, then no one would say anything if he went to the Richards Group to investigate, but how could he move into Richards Manor so blatantly?

"Jenna, it seems that your life in Richards Manor is quite good, huh? You're living quite a luxurious life I see." Sergio inspected her office when he went in, sat down on the couch elegantly and crossed his legs with a vivid smile on his face.

Jenna's face had quite an unpleasant look.

"Sergio, for private reasons, I'm grateful to you because you saved me. But thinking from the business perspective, I don't think you moving into Richards Manor is the correct thing to do. No matter how guilty the Richards family is, it shouldn't be to the point of confiscating Richards Manor, right?"

When she returned that day, her traditional husband demanded her not to talk to Sergio anymore.

For the sake of her husband's dignity, she planned not to meet Sergio again in the future, but she didn't expect him to move into Richards Manor. Great, now they would meet each other often. Wouldn't things be very difficult for her?

Sergio leaned his back against the couch and looked up at her with his eyebrows lifted. She had a serious expression on her small face. It was obvious that she was critical from the way she looked at him. Sergio could not help but to sigh softly.

"Jenna, Hansen's going to take a second wife soon, but you're still trying to protect him. It's really rare to have a woman act like this. It's also because of this that I cherish you even more. I can't bear to hurt you, and I'll even take risks protecting you, even if it means that I'll die. However, the fact that I can't get even the slightest bit of pity from you makes me feel quite sad." Sergio sighed and looked into Jenna's cold eyes, feeling very complicated.

Jenna's face changed slightly.

"Jenna, you also know the Richards Group is suspected to be guilty of a serious crime. Even until now, we have yet to find any substantial evidence. In addition to that, I have also received a report saying that the matter had something to do with Richards Manor in recent days, which caused my senior executives to press on this issue even more. I have no choice but to move into Richards Manor to investigate the matter, and try to find the actual culprit as soon as possible," Sergio said with a helpless expression.
