Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 674

At that time, Hansen was standing on the platform, looking at the hundreds of people below. For the moment, he did not see John and Liya, and he could not help but to frown slightly.

After he had finished ordering Maud to close the mansion, the captain of the security team had informed him about Letty's attempted escape. He feared that Liya might also try to escape. So, he had immediately instructed John to find Liya and bring her here.

However, John had been gone for so long without news, that he couldn't help but to wonder if John could catch her in time.

At that moment, John, who was in charge of finding Liya, hurried over and whispered, "Mr. Trevor, Liya is missing."

"What?" Hansen was alarmed. "Has she already escaped?"

At that moment, Maud was counting the number of guests and staff below. Hansen's heart sank. He quickly walked to the microphone and asked in a deep voice, "Maud, is everyone here?"

Maud had worked in the mansion for years and was quick to act. All this time while he was counting the number of people, he was actually checking whether Liya was present. After some deliberation, he replied in a loud voice, "Sir, Madam Jenna and Liya aren't here."

The moment those words came out of Maud's mouth, it was as if a bolt of lightning had streaked through dark clouds, jolting Hansen.

He quickly turned around, walked down from the stage, and strode towards the mourning hall.

John was also frightened when he heard this. However, he had not seen anyone inside the mourning hall just then when he passed by. What was going on? With this thought in mind, he walked towards the mourning hall as well.

The scene in the mourning hall was clear.

When they were about to arrive at the mourning hall, Hansen's heart tightened. It was as if he had heard a cry from Jenna, echoing in his heart. He felt so uneasy. Such panic was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He slowed down his pace and looked inside.

"Liya, I'm the only one who knows where the Ocean Heart is. If you want to get it, then you need my help. But you're pointing a knife at me. You know I'm carrying a child and can't stand being frightened. If I faint, or if my life is threatened, then I might forget where it is. Then, it'll be rather troublesome, don't you think?" Jenna had been backed into a corner by Liya. She looked at the gleaming knife in Liya's hand. It was the sharpest knife on the market and could cut through iron. If it was used on a person, then she wouldn't want to imagine how it would turn out.

Her palms were covered with sweat. She could only try to placate her in a kind manner as she tried to stall for time. When Jenna saw Hansen at the entrance of the mourning hall, she felt hopeful. Yet, her expression did not change. She only raised her voice, but her face was full of fear.

Hansen was very sensitive to Jenna's voice. However, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. His heart almost stopped beating.

Liya had forced Jenna to a corner. If it weren't for Jenna's loud voice, then he would have run in just then because he couldn't see her.

This would startle Liya, and she might have done something crazy.

D*mn it, why didn't he think something like this would happen? He came back and Jenna was by his side, but he had been careless and put his beloved wife in danger.

A surge of anger rose in his chest. His face was dark and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He had just returned from a battlefield. His body was still pumping with adrenaline. Who did Liya think she was?

At that time, Liya and Jenna were standing face to face, and they were very close to each other. The sharp knife in Liya's hand was aimed at Jenna. He did not dare to launch an attack from a long distance because he was afraid that if there was even a slight mistake, Jenna would be hurt.

He carefully walked towards them. He didn't dare to be careless. At the same time, he signalled Jenna and quietly approached Liya from behind.

"Stop playing tricks on me. Hurry up and take me to it," Liya shouted. She held the sharp knife in her hand and aimed it towards Jenna's heart.

Jenna's face was pale. Her palms sweaty, she put her hands on her belly and saw that Hansen was only a step away. If Jenna took Liya away right then, then she would see him.

At that moment, Liya's vicious stare was wandering. She was on the verge of losing her cool. What if she was provoked and stabbed her with the knife? It was hard to imagine the damage she would cause.

Hence, she remained calm and said, "Liya, put down your knife. I promise to give you the treasure. You should know that you're committing a crime while doing this. Now that there are police in the conference room, if you act like this, then they will take you away as soon as they see you. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get the treasure, much less leave here. If I don't cooperate, then even if you get the Ocean Heart, you won't be able to escape. Have you forgotten about your uncle and his words to you before he died?"
