Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 576

In the Green Jade Garden's study, Hansen sat on the couch, cross-legged with one hand on its arm and the other on the dark red wooden desk. His face was devoid of emotions, and his jet-black eyes were sharp and deep.

There was a light knock on the door.

"Come in," he directed in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open and the medium-sized man, Paul, came in.

Hansen lifted his gaze and motioned for him to close the door with his sharp gaze constantly fixed on his face.

Paul turned around and closed the door quietly.

"Mr. Richards." He came over and greeted softly in a courteous manner.

Hansen's gaze was alert and menacing.

There was a slight panic on Paul's face. Being observed by Hansen's eagle-like gaze, he showed unrestrained panic and unease.

Hansen stared at him for a while before pursing his lips and tapping the table with his fingers.

"Paul, aren't you going to tell me anything?" His tone was indifferent and casual, but his eyes were vigilant and merciless.

After a slight pause, Paul knew that he had understood everything.

In the past, no one knew about their loyalty towards Vivian. They had always been known as detectives. It was also Vivian's wish. Now that Vivian had handed them over to Jenna, they were appointed to serve Jenna. However, under the current circumstances, Mr. Richards could no longer be kept in the dark.

Paul didn't know whether he should tell Hansen about certain matters, but Jenna was Hansen's wife, and he was the head of Richards Manor. Paul had no reason not to tell him.

"Paul, Grandma is now in an awful condition. If you're unwilling to tell me the truth, then do you know what the consequences will be?" Hansen's brows were knitted into a tight frown and his tone was stern.

Paul knew that he couldn't keep it from Mr. Richards any longer.

"Mr. Richards, Irvin and I are indeed trained by Vivian. We have always been working for her. It's just that she had requested for our identities to be kept secret, even if it's to anyone within the Richards family. However, Vivian is seriously ill, and she wants us to follow Jenna. The matter should be different, but the grounds are still the same. Hence, I hope that Mr. Richards will understand," Paul admitted.

"Are you following Jenna now?" he asked, shifting his eyes slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Richards. We need to protect you and your wife," Paul answered quickly.

"So, that night when I fought with the terrorists at the border, the person who guarded me was you?" Hansen recalled that night, and there was someone who had been standing by his side. Although he did not have time to think about it carefully as the situation was critical, the impression of that person's figure was very similar to that of Paul's. So, he questioned curiously.

Paul smiled faintly and replied, "It was me. Irvin and I have dedicated our lives to the Richards Group. It's our duty to protect the successors of the family."

Understanding the situation, Hansen smiled and directly asked, "Alright, then. I really appreciate your loyalty. I would like to ask if Grandma had sent you guys to the war-torn country to collect evidence for Yadriel's crime two months ago?"

Paul wasn't surprised at all, nor did he hide anything when Hansen asked this question, as he immediately replied, "Mr. Richards, to be exact, when you and Jenna were in the petrochemical factory of Wullen Town, Old Madam already knew everything. She sent us to the war-torn country to find out the truth. However, the matter is very complicated. Yadriel is a very cunning man, and he hid the evidence well. It was not that easy to find the evidence. It was not until two months ago that when Irvin went undercover, he found out that Yadriel had sold off the last batch of weapons for the sake of the election. Hence, Irvin had been staying there all this while."

Hansen was secretly alarmed when he heard this. As expected, Vivian had made her move ahead of time. Otherwise, how else would she be able to command these when she was so ill right now?

"Paul, I'm really thankful for the loyalty you and Irvin have shown towards the Richards family. Nonetheless, I want to inform you that Yadriel has found out about Irvin, and he is trying to think of a way to capture him. Irvin's current situation is extremely dangerous. Tell me, did he successfully obtain the evidence that can bring Yadriel down?" Hansen asked calmly, and the expression on his face was solemn.

Hearing that, Paul's face turned pale, and he became saddened. After a moment, he replied in a deep voice, "Mr. Richards, to tell you the truth, Irvin's undercover operation did not last long. It can only be said that he knows something about Yadriel, but he has not gotten any useful evidence. The most important evidence is the arms trade that is about to take place. Since Irvin knew that Yadriel had already found out what he had done, he released the rumors that he had collected a lot of evidence and kept them in different places, in order to protect himself, as he is afraid that Yadriel will kill him."

That was sure enough!

Hansen's heart sank when he heard Paul's words. All of this was really within his expectations. If Irvin had really obtained evidence, then it was most likely that he would have returned by now.

"Paul, Yadriel is a wily old fox. He has committed heinous crimes which were against the law. Naturally, his alibis are watertight, and they were carried out flawlessly. No one would be able to dig up the evidence easily. Don't worry about it. We'll soon find a way. All in all, we must oust such black sheep," Hansen uttered in a heavy mood.

As someone who was about to be elected as an official of Capital City, how could Yadriel actually do such things that would harm the nation and the people? It was simply lawless. If it went on like that, then there wouldn't be room for justice and virtue.
