"So, you're Mr. Tangger. Forgive my rudeness." Hansen stood in the middle of the room and spoke to Zevulon in an imposing manner.
Zevulon was never known for being nosy. Naturally, he didn't think much about the relationship between Hansen and Jenna. When he heard Hansen calling Jenna his wife, he was floored for a long time before coming back to his senses. He then glanced at both Sfeffan and Hansen, and cleared his throat.
"Oh, Mr. Richards, nice to meet you. It turns out that Dory is your wife. Forgive my feeble old brain for failing to see this. Well, how about this?" He took a step forward, bowed his head and whispered teasingly, "I always dote on my apprentices, but sometimes I can be a bit harsh. If I had offended Dory in the past, then allow me to offer my apology."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose, and sniffed it. Then, he lit it slowly and steadily.
"Alvin." Hansen was a wise man. He was clearheaded and immediately smiled. He said to Alvin, who was standing beside him, "Go to the trunk and bring the top-grade cigars for Mr. Tangger."
"Yes." Alvin obeyed, immediately heading out.
"Oh, please, you didn't have to." Zevolun's expression was taken over by seriousness. "It's only right for a teacher to teach his apprentices."
"Of course, of course." Hansen smiled. "And it's only right for me to be courteous to such a respected master."
While they were talking, Alvin came in with a bag of wine and cigarettes, as well as a top- grade cigar.
"Mr. Tangger, I'll leave this with you." Alvin put a bag full of expensive things on a short stool beside him, deliberately leaving the bag open. It was loaded with the exquisitely packaged, pure, top quality cigar. Amazement filled Zevulon's eyes.
Steffan stood by the side, with his face twitching. His respected teacher's eyes were shining brightly. His expression had long betrayed the thoughts of him being bribed by Hansen.
Alas, his master was good at everything, but he liked to take advantage when given an opportunity. How mortifying!
He shifted his gaze to Jenna. Finally, his gaze fell on the hand that Hansen was holding on to Jenna. His eyes darkened.
If the current Jenna had a slight sense of rejection in her eyes, or perhaps she was a little annoyed or repulsed by Hansen, then he would have taken her away from his side regardless of anything.
However, she didn't. There was even a shy expression on her face, and she didn't even spare a glance at him. He was completely ignored. At that moment, he had a sense of defeat.
"Mr. Tangger, I have something to do at the company. I have to go now." He walked past Zevulon with a cold face.
"Hey, boy..." Zevulon was about to say something to him, but Steffan only left him a view of his back and soon disappeared at the door.
Zevulon shook his head.
"Oh, come to think of it, Dory, this famous expert in the United States, Pillar, has done meaningful research on amnesia. After he saw what happened to you in the newspaper, he came here on his own initiative and decided to treat you actively. Well now, you can cooperate with this expert in the future. I also hope that you can return to your normal life," he informed, gesturing towards Pillar.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Lexantra." Upon catching sight of him, the foreigner, Pillar, smiled and made the first move to greet her enthusiastically with a vivid expression.
Jenna was stunned. It turned out that the foreign man in the room was an expert in amnesia, and he had come here especially for her. It was no wonder he was so interested in her when he saw her.
She was nervous. On one hand, she still hoped to remember the past. On the other hand, she had a faint worry. Was she worried that her past was not as she expected it to be? She couldn't say.
In reality, this feeling was deeply imprinted in her mind and she also understood that she was worried that her previous life was an unhappy one. She was afraid that she would choose to give up the man who was holding her hand by her side.
At that time, Jenna just bowed her head and said, "Mr. Tangger, there is still some time left. I will go up to the drawing room first." She did not answer Zevolun's question directly.
When Steffan had left the grounds, Hansen felt very relieved. He did not insist on going up with her.
