Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 603

"Dad, why? Why let her live with us?" Hansen asked. He was in the Ink Garden's lounge with Trevor. Hansen's tone was rushed as he asked, "Do you know how hurtful your decision would be to Jenna?"

Hansen's gaze was filled with helplessness and pain.

"Hansen, can you please be more mature? Would you rather see Liya smearing our family reputation by claiming that we did not acknowledge the will? There are way too many things on the Richards family's plate right now. It would help to have one issue under our control. If all she wants is to live here, then we should just let her live with us. It's just one more person under our roof. Moreover, you don't love her at all. Let's see what else she'll do about that," Trevor said.

There was another hidden layer of meaning in Trevor's words. It didn't take long for her to march over right after the reading of the will. Trevor wanted to see what her true intentions were. He was also waiting to see what she could do to the Richards family.

"Dad, the will is obviously not legitimate. She's just here after the inheritance. We shouldn't entertain her, or else we will only bring endless trouble upon ourselves," Hansen said with a cold expression.

"Hansen." Trevor said with a stern tone, "Stop being childish. Jenna is a sensible young lady. She isn't as fragile as you claim to be. If you think that there's something off about the will, then let's investigate further into it. We can only tackle the issue, and kick her out of Richards Manor by then."

Trevor cast a glance at Hansen as he said this. He then shook his head and walked towards the surveillance room.

"Retrieve the surveillance records in the Ink Garden for the past six months." Hansen told the security team leader as they walked in the surveillance room.

"Sure, Mr. Trevor," the security team leader replied. He then started retrieving the surveillance records. Hansen and Trevor started flipping through the records to spot if any suspicious person had entered Vivian's room.

There were surveillance cameras installed along the corridors as well as the living room in the Ink Garden. However, it was impossible for the bedrooms to be equipped with the cameras too.

Trevor and Hansen spent the whole morning searching thoroughly, and finally spotted a woman creeping into Vivian's room one night. It was a dark night, and there was no one in the Ink Garden. The lights were dimmed, and the woman seemed to be Liya. However, as they couldn't see her face, it wasn't evident enough.

Hansen fixed his gaze on the monitor as he thought to himself, what was this woman doing creeping into Vivian's room like a ghost?

Vivian's room was the most honorable place in the Ink Garden. No one could easily get in. Yet, there was no obstacle stopping the woman from entering Vivian's room that night. It was too strange!

Trevor and Hansen exchanged looks. Questions were apparent in their gazes.

The surveillance camera slowly shifted the angle to the entrance of the Ink Garden. The woman was already near the entrance by that time, and she looked nervous.

Through the dim streetlights, although her face was still not shown clearly, they could at least confirm that the woman in the surveillance records was none other than Liya.

Her walking in and coming out of the Ink Garden took around half an hour.

What did she do in that 30 minutes?

They continued searching through the other surveillance records. Yet, this was the only suspicious record they got.

There were a lot of people who walked in and out of Vivian's bedroom, but they were either servants or family members. Even Sergio only went in once, and Aunt Ella was there for the whole process. However, on the night Liya crept in, there was no one in the living hall at all.

"Dad, it must be an oversight. That woman was definitely Liya," Hansen said with his brows furrowed. He pointed towards the woman captured in the surveillance footage and said, "Could it be that she did something to the will?"

Trevor's eyes were fixed on the surveillance record, and his expression stiffened.

"That's possible, but didn't we find the will in a hidden drawer? How did she manage to get the will in such a short time?" Trevor asked. He remembered that they only found Vivian's will after Aunt Ella guided them. As for Liya, she was an outsider. How could she find the will that quickly?

Besides, they would never allow Liya to enter the Ink Garden. She shouldn't be this familiar with the surroundings.

Hansen also fixed his gaze on the surveillance record as he processed this in his mind.

"Dad, didn't Aunt Ella mention that Vivian had the black bag with her back then? Doesn't this mean that the will was with Vivian instead of being hidden in the drawer?" Hansen asked.

Trevor's eyes lit up as he heard this.

"But why was Vivian holding the will then?" Trevor contemplated.

"Dad, I believe Vivian knew and was concerned about the current situation of our Richards family, when she was still conscious. Perhaps, she also expected Liya to plot something against us. That's why she wanted to revise the will when she was still conscious. For her to call Mr. Pringle over, it was possible that she knew she was about to pass out. She couldn't wait any longer for him. Hence, she could only revise the will by hand." Hansen analyzed the situation with full attention.

Trevor's heart skipped a beat after hearing that. He nodded.

"Hansen, your analysis is accurate. Otherwise, Vivian would not mention specifically that the Richards family doesn't owe Liya anything anymore. She wanted us to reject Liya no matter what. According to this logic, what she wrote in her will must be something like, you can never marry Liya if you don't want to be deemed ineligible for the inheritance. She was worried that you might not know how to reject Liya, or that you'd fall into her trap and hurt Jenna in return.

Vivian wanted to use the inheritance to stop you from marrying Liya. Otherwise, according to her will, you would be kicked out from the family," Trevor said.
