"I've told you to stay away from Norton. Why didn't you listen?" In the Hummer, Hansen's eyebrows were tightly knitted and his face was full of displeasure.
Jenna was upset and spoke up in frustration, "Please be more reasonable, will you? If he wants to come over, can I chase him away? Besides, he's a man, do you think I have the strength to do so?"
"Oh, that's your reason? You wouldn't be sitting so close to him if you didn't want to, did you? Did he force you to sit next to him?" Hansen said sarcastically, "You don't even think before you do anything. You two looked intimate. Everyone in the Richard Manor knows who you are. Do you want the whole world to know that you are an unchaste woman who doesn't know how to behave and loves to stir up trouble?"
Anger welled up in Hansen's chest. If he hadn't covered up what happened three years ago, would she still be standing here in the Richards Manor or would Grandma have trusted her so much? This woman didn't know what the consequences would be. She should have known that many people were staring at her and waiting for her to make mistakes. If she still didn't know how to restrain herself and if Grandma Richards found out what happened three years ago, she would definitely revoke her inheritance of the Richards Manor.
In fact, he was trying to protect her by asking her to do so, but her face was full of grievances and she didn't appreciate it!
It was so heart-wrenching!
An Audi suddenly stopped in front of their car. Hansen was so annoyed that he honked his horn, causing everyone to look at them.
Jenna felt wronged in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell him the real reason why she got into the electric car with Norton. She was irritated by his arrogance. She just sat there with a long face and her cheeks flushed.
She understood what he meant. Even if she told him the truth, he still wouldn't believe her.
He would never believe that she had nothing to do with what happened three years ago. Perhaps her lost chastity had already been imprinted on his heart and had been deeply buried in his heart. All his distrust in her was probably due to the fact that she did not bleed when they had their first intercourse on their wedding night. He firmly believed that she was not a virgin when she married him. He even thought that she was a fickle-minded woman, so he naturally blamed her for what had happened three years ago.
No matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to get rid of the anger in his heart.
"Do you really want to leave when you haven't sorted things out with Hansen? Tell Grandma, do you love him or not? Do you want your life to be overshadowed? When you have the ability to get the answers, why do you choose to run away?" Those were the questions Grandma Richards asked when she called her into the room yesterday. The series of questions left her speechless and yet her mind was suddenly enlightened!
It was time to let the truth be known. Although she knew that the problem between her and Hansen was never about the misunderstanding about her virginity, Hansen's humiliation of her character and his contempt for her made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if something was choking her!
In order to get him to concede and to clear her name, she would have to at least prove that she was still a virgin when she married him. She had to have evidence. Nothing could be more persuasive than evidence!
She must let him know that she had always been a virgin. It was his fault for misunderstanding her the way he did! As for whether he would accept her or not, whether he loved her or not, that was another separate matter!
The reason for returning back to the Richards Manor was to find out what was going on. If she didn't uncover the truth, she would not be able to make Hansen clear his doubts of her, let alone the accusation that he had imposed on her..
Hansen might not love her, but he was in no position to insult her!
With her father's tragic death, her mother's illness, and her current situation, his misunderstanding and disrespect for her had already made her entire world fall apart. She had no reason to remain silent anymore.
"Hansen, I'm going to buy a car today." After a long silence, Jenna finally spoke up just when the Hummer was about to reach the entrance of International Kinsey Center.
Hansen's face was cold and he didn't speak.
Jenna was also depressed and pulled a long face. The harmony they had earlier in the morning was gone.
Of course, just because Hansen didn't say anything, it didn't mean that she would compromise. Now that Hansen had confiscated her car and the Richard Manor was a huge estate, it would be difficult for her to go out without one.
She took the elevator to the 88th floor with Hansen.
The office of the Design Department was still located next to Hansen's office. When Jenna opened the door, he was surprised to see some changes. All the staff as well as the equipment in there were gone. This place was turned into an independent and luxurious office. Although it was slightly smaller than Hansen's office, the interior decoration was somewhat comparable to his. Moreover, it was clean and luxurious without being gaudy, which was very much to her liking.
Jenna was stunned. It had only been two days since she last came to work. How could there have been such a drastic change, or was she in the wrong office?
"Come over to my office later," when Hansen was about to push open the door of the office, he suddenly remembered something and calmly said to Jenna who was standing by the door. At the sight of her surprised and confused expression, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful smile.
"Me?" Jenna was perplexed and terrified.
She slowly walked into the office.
She much preferred the current look of the office rather than the previous one. The designer's office was much better equipped now than it was before. She stood there in a daze. She didn't know what Hansen meant. After thinking for a while, she put down her bag.
