Jenna's heart sank. It seemed that Sergio wouldn't leave Richards Manor alone if they didn't clear the Richards Group of their false accusation.
Sergio was calm and composed, looking at her with a smile in his amber-colored eyes.
She hurriedly lowered her head, picked up her utensils, and reached over to a plate of freshly pickled vegetables, gently picking up a piece of pickled green bean. Perhaps it was because of her panic that her hands trembled slightly. Jenna put it into her mouth and tasted it carefully. She could noticeably feel that Hansen's muscles were tensed.
As she chewed the pickled green bean in her mouth, she stretched out her fingers and grabbed Hansen's large hand.
She much preferred the pickled green bean over the stewed soup. After chewing it several times and swallowing it into her stomach, she looked up at Hansen's frosty face and smiled. "Hansen, I'm full. Let's go and see Grandma."
Hansen tried his best to suppress his boiling rage. After Jenna's words pulled him back to reality, he nodded and said, "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, enjoy your meal. I'll head out with Jenna first."
Trevor's gaze was solemn as he nodded his head.
Upon getting their permission, Hansen and Jenna left.
"Hansen, when will the accusation against the Richards Group be dismissed?" Jenna asked worriedly. It was obvious that Sergio came over at this time for the charges against the Richards Group.
"Jenna, don't worry. I will handle everything. You have to believe in me." Hansen was worried that Jenna would be anxious. After all, she was pregnant. Hence, he immediately comforted her.
"Hansen, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, please don't keep it from me. Let's face it together, alright?" Jenna's eyes sparkled, and she requested emotionally.
"Alright, honey." When Hansen noticed tears welling up in her eyes, his heart palpitated. He held her in his arms and agreed to her request. "Don't worry. In the future, no matter what happens, I will tell you about it. I will also discuss it with you."
He would never allow anyone to use her against him in the future. Thus, there was no need for him to hide anything from her.
"Then, don't lie to me anymore." Jenna, pouted while her soft and tender fingers glided across his rose-colored lips.
"Of course, I won't." Hansen chuckled.
That day, Sergio did not come over for the charges against the Richards Group. In fact, Hansen knew very well that everything he did was for Yadriel's election.
Otherwise, with such a severe charge against the Richards Group, Sergio would've taken advantage of the time when Zoella was framing them and destroyed them, according to his personality!
Hansen would never believe that Sergio was worried about Jenna getting hurt. So, he eased the time limit in investigating the Richards Group when Zoella had planted all the accusations on her.
He was just looking for an excuse to stay in the Richards Group and control them, so that they would not affect Yadriel's election.
He understood very well that if the Richards Group were to do their best to support Luqman, Yadriel would have to spend a huge sum of money if he wanted to win. Not only would that be more difficult, but he might also fail.
If Sergio could grasp his weakness, then Hansen could also make a fool out of him and Yadriel.
White clouds were floating in the sky outside the cabin.
Hansen secretly boarded a flight to Capital City with John.
There was a slight restlessness flowing through the air.
Hansen, who had always liked to take control of everything, was also quite irritated at that moment. He had driven Zoella's company out of A City, but Yaris was still on the loose.
Hansen couldn't be sure when Yaris would return to A City's government hospital, and he wasn't sure when Yaris' mother would die.
Right then, time was ticking. He couldn't wait any longer. So, he had to take action quickly, viciously, and in an accurate manner.
Although Vivian might lose her battle at any time, he couldn't fulfil his filial duty and stay by her side.
The situation was urgent. He believed that if Vivian were awake, then she would support his actions.
"Mr. Richards, the address is at a restaurant outside the gate of Capital City. It is set at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After we arrive at the hotel, we can also have a meal and a good sleep." As soon as they got off the plane, John gave a brief description of their schedule.
"We can't let anyone know about the arrangement, especially Yadriel's people," Hansen ordered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Luqman is a smart politician. Even without my advice, he has already done careful planning." John nodded to reassure him.
Hansen nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything more. They hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the hotel.
In Capital City, the sandstorm was rather strong, and the weather was gloomy.
When Hansen woke up from his sleep, he washed up at leisure and tidied up his suit, putting on a tie.
When he entered the designated VIP room upstairs, Luqman was already sitting on the luxurious leather couch, awaiting him.
