Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 606

"Maud, you're nothing but a butler, whereas I'm the appointed second young madam by Vivian herself. Why can't I take a few accessories away for my own use? You have to know that the party I'll be attending today is an important one. The wealthiest folks in the A City are all attending it as well. If I make a plain appearance at the party, then I will only embarrass Richards Manor. Can you afford to bear the consequences of that?" Liya screamed. She was no longer putting on the nice act from earlier.

It was known that Richards Manor had a huge collection of jewelry. So, why couldn't she borrow a few for her own use? Did they have to single her out that way?

Upon hearing this, Maud put on a solemn face and said, without leaving any room for mercy, "Miss Liya, I really can't help you with this. I'm just following the rules. Not only you, even if any of the madams or young madams ask for the same thing, without the head of the household's approval, they also can never get to use any of the pieces of jewelry. They are of the manor's assets. No one can change the rule. It has existed since decades ago. Please respect the rules and abide by them. Don't make things difficult for me."

Liya knew that she couldn't get anything out of that. She thought she could get at least some benefits just by moving in, but she couldn't even get that done with. She was clearly upset as her face was tense and masked with an icy vibe.

Jenna had been standing by the office door and had overheard the entire conversation. She despised Liya's behaviour to the core. Liya's intention of entering Richards Manor was just too obvious. She had just made her way in the night before, and she was already trying to take advantage of their jewelry collection.

The jewelry collection was included among Richards Manor's assets. It was ridiculous for Liya to think that she could make use of the jewelry collection, when even Marissa herself couldn't utilize them.

Jenna was speechless at how ignorant and rampant Liya was behaving.

At that moment, some staff made their way into the Ink Garden. They were there to get Jenna to sign some purchase invoices for that day and were dumbfounded at the scene.

Seeing that it was late, Jenna snorted and walked into the office.

Liya was about to make another round of fuss just as Jenna stepped into the office. She immediately forced a smile and said, "Jenna, it's good that you're here. Can you help me convince him? I have an important..."

"Liya, I have to get to work now. Please leave my office. If you have something to ask of me, then you will have to get in line," Jenna said, interrupting Liya's sentence.

She knew what Liya was about to ask and didn't want to waste anymore time with her.

Liya couldn't hide her embarrassment upon hearing Jenna's words. Her face fell as a dangerous glint appeared in her gaze.

"Jenna, how can you treat me like this? Vivian herself approved of my marriage with Hansen. Although I'm just the second wife, I'm still rightfully his wife. I'm just here to get some of the accessories for the party, but all of you are trying to step all over me. Isn't this too much?" Liya sneered. She was still sitting on Jenna's seat without budging.

Jenna glared at Liya with her cold gaze, which was sharp like a dagger, saying in a firm manner, "Liya, please leave my office now. You're interrupting my work. They're all waiting for me to sign the papers so that all of us can get enough food for the next few days. You don't want to starve us all, do you?"

Upon hearing Jenna's words, Liya glanced out of the office. Surely enough, more and more household aides were gathered outside, with papers and mobile devices in their hands. They were all glancing at Liya as well. Their gazes were either mocking or filled with ridicule.

Liya felt slightly guilty. Under Jenna's assertive gaze, she couldn't help but stand up from her seat.

"Jenna, don't be too arrogant. You still think that you're above us all and that they have to listen to you. I can't afford to mess with you now, but someday, I will take that away from you. I will take back everything that's supposed to be mine." Liya threatened with a furious expression.

"Is that so?" Jenna brushed past her and walked to the office chair. She stared at the wrinkled seat cover that Liya sat on, frowning as she told Maud. "It's dirty. Maud, please get me another chair."

"Yes, Madam," Maud immediately replied. He walked to the living room and grabbed a new chair over, replacing the previous one, before saying respectfully, "Madam, please take a seat."

"Hmm." Jenna nodded and sat down.

As she looked up, Liya was still there staring angrily at her. It was as if she was simply unwilling to leave the office.

"You're not going to leave, are you?" Jenna asked coldly.

Jenna's face was calm, but her gaze that was shot at Liya was fierce and stern.

Liya's heart wavered again under Jenna's gaze. She wanted to leave, but she wasn't willing to give up just like that. If she stepped out of the office just then, then it would be even more difficult for her to get a similar item in the future. Liya could only be stubborn and stand still. She wanted to know what Jenna would do to her.

Jenna glanced faintly at her before picking up the office phone and dialling a number. A voice could be heard shortly after, calling out in a respectful manner, "Madam."

"Are you the security team leader? Call a few of your people over here to my office right now. Someone is interrupting my work. Please help maintain order and kick whoever's being disruptive away."

Her voice was not loud, but she made it clear and was decisive. There was no room left for negotiation.

"Duly noted, Madam. We will send someone over immediately," the leader replied respectfully over the phone.
