Chapter 229 Picking A Fight
On the 88th floor of International Kinsey Center.
Hansen was sitting at his desk reviewing year-end reports and annual reviews. He also had to hold a meeting to come up with the budget and plan for the upcoming year. He was very busy.
It was already late and he was exhausted. He got up and stretched before slumping onto the sofa.
As Hansen was working overtime, his secretary, Yuri Adams, did not dare to leave and remained outside.
Hearing Hansen’s footsteps, she hurriedly walked in.
“Mr. Richards, have a cup of tea.” Yuri walked in with a cup of hot tea and offered it to him.
“Thank you.” Hansen stroked his forehead.
“Mr. Richards, please don’t hesitate to ask for me if you need me. I’ll be outside,” Yuri said softly and slowly retreated after seeing Hansen’s nod.
Hansen raised his gaze at Yuri’s back and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yuri was initially Jenna’s secretary before Jenna arranged for her to be at Hansen’s side.
This way, he would have two secretaries.
Yuri was a student from a prestigious university in Capital City. She was gorgeous, not to mention she was capable, smart, and considerate. Jenna actually arranged such an excellent girl to be his secretary.
It was so generous of her.
Normally, women would not want another woman around her man. It would be ideal if a man could be his secretary. Jenna, however, was extraordinary. She purposely arranged for him to have two outstanding girls.
He really couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
Was he supposed to thank or curse her?
Maybe she wanted to test him? Hansen was left dumbfounded.
Her sparkling eyes and her sly smile flashed before him. His heart skipped a beat. What was that woman thinking?
Since Jenna resigned, this floor became a lot duller. Sometimes, he felt bored.
His heart seemed to have left with her. He was constantly absent-minded even at work.
Sitting lazily on the sofa while holding the cup in his hand, a slight smirk formed on his face as his eyes glanced around.
Jenna was current;y in charge of Richards Manor and she was doing her best. He was afraid that she wouldn’t want to come back to his company. He should think of some way to trick her back. However, if he failed, he would be buried in work. It was too exhausting.
He had never felt so exhausted.
Was it because she was gone?
He took a sip of the hot tea as he shook his head, smiling.
He reached for that day’s newspaper.
Leisurely reading, his eyes suddenly widened. He jumped off the sofa as his face darkened.
His grip on the newspaper tightened.
The entertainment section featured a photo of a couple. A handsome man and a beautiful woman caught Hansen’s eye when he flipped the page.
Jenna and Rayan.
How dared she go out with Rayan behind his back?
How dare she? Unbelievable.
Hansen felt that his head was about to explode and darkness flashed across his eyes.
The photo on the newspaper.
Dim street.
Rayan and Jenna stood facing each other.
His eyes were gentle and he was stroking her head. His gaze was completely focused on her.
She lifted her face and she stood in front of him like a little girl, looking at him affectionately. She was basically purring like a cat under his touch. The two looked at each other lovingly.
Just one glance, Hansen’s face was pale and his head was throbbing. His fist clenched as he held the newspaper, his knuckles turning white.
Rayan was back in A city! Just brilliant! Hansen thought.
It didn’t matter why Rayan was back. Hansen would not forgive him if he was planning to get Jenna back.
He clenched his teeth and his eyes were filled with burning rage. He threw the newspapers away and dashed outside.
Jenna had the audacity to cheat on him. She messed with the wrong guy.
Hansen stormed into Green Jade Garden and ran straight to the second floor.
“Young Master, please stop.” Seeing Hansen, Nelson and Haward rushed straight up and hurriedly blocked him.
“Get the f*ck away,” Hansen shouted.
“Young Master, without Miss Murphy’s consent-”
With a loud thud, a fist landed on both their faces even before the two guards could finish speaking.
Hansen punched both of them simultaneously with both hands.
“Ah!” With two grunts, Nelson and Haward were both hit in the eye. They started seeing things and groaned in pain.
Hansen shoved them away and rushed in.
“Jenna, open the door,” Hansen knocked on the door and growled.
Jenna just returned from the hospital and was taking a shower. She didn’t hear anything from outside.
She felt exhausted every night when she came back for the past few days. All she wanted was to take a nice long bath and rest early. At last, she could put down the burden she had been carrying and relax.
“Open the door. I will kick the door down if you don’t,” Hansen knocked harder and yelled.
Jenna was closing her eyes, enjoying the comfort of the warm water before she heard a faint door knock. She opened her eyes and listened intently.
“Jenna, open the door. Otherwise, you’re as good as dead.” The door was locked. Hansen couldn’t get in since Jenna changed the lock. He could only knock on the door hard to vent his anger.
Oh no! It was Hansen’s d*mn voice.
Why was he here?
She hadn’t seen him for a few days. Was he drunk and acting up again?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
She trembled at the thought of this and then listened carefully once more.
She was right, it was Hansen but his voice was different than usual. He sounded bitter as he gnashed his teeth.
She hurriedly crawled out of the bathtub, wiped her body dry, and put on her pajamas before hurrying out.
“Jenna, if you don’t open the door now, I will break in,” Hansen shouted outside the door, seemingly losing his patience. Jenna was sure she heard anger that she had never heard before in his voice.
What was wrong this time?
She walked to the door slowly.
She stood before the door with her arms around her chest. Let’s see what he could do? she thought.
After experiencing the brutality in the business world and the constant humiliation from Aria and Georgia, she built walls around her heart so that she would not get hurt again. With all the confrontation and practice, she had gone through enough to be able to deal with him.
Now that she was already fully armed, wearing thick armor, her body was ready for combat.
She firmly believed that she was invincible.
Even if two hooligans stood before her, she would handle them with ease, let alone Hansen.
She wanted to see what he was capable of doing to her.
After not hearing Jenna’s voice, Hansen started to try to knock the door down with his body.
“Boom, boom!” The door was bent by his muscular figure.
What an ignorant man!
Jenna sneered.
She walked closer.
When he was about to run into the door again, she quickly opened the door and hid to one side.
Hansen did not expect the door to open all of a sudden.
Newton’s first law.
His entire body slammed straight into the room.
His feet hit the threshold of the door.
With a muffled grunt, his whole body fell forward and landed on the ground.
Jenna lowered her head and looked at him. He fell with his face flat on the ground. He was probably embarrassed and Jenna found this exciting.
“Wow, what a joke!” Jenna couldn’t help but smile with her mouth in her hand.
When Hansen realized that she had anticipated this, it was already too late.
He was so blinded by jealousy that he did not have the time to think about what to do with Jenna. He only knew that he was mad. He came to her as her husband. This time, he was cheated on, which really insulted him. He was ashamed and infuriated.
He got up quickly.
“How could you have the audacity to laugh?” Hansen couldn’t care about tidying up his wrinkled suit. Before he could straighten out his well-groomed hair, he stood up, took Jenna’s hand, and dragged her over.
“What are you doing breaking into my room?” Jenna was about to get pulled off her feet by his powerful grip. Remembering something, she put her hand on her stomach and scolded.
“Look at me.” Hansen pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes as he ordered bitterly.
Jenna was forced to look at him. Her angry eyes widened and were directed at him.
Hansen’s eyes were fierce and piercing, and his voice was almost on the verge of rage.
“Do you know how to be someone’s wife? Did you not know that women should have boundaries? How could you behave this way? Are you that shameless?” The flame in his eyes flashed. Jenna felt like she could be burned to ashes at any moment.
He pinched Jenna’s chin hard but she still didn’t understand what he was talking about. She couldn’t figure out why he was so angry.
Such a shameful questioning brought her back to how it was in the past.
Angry, she brushed off his hand and cursed at him.
“A*shole. You’re crazy. Are you picking a fight?” Her arms akimbo, she raised her eyebrow and stared at him with wide eyes.
“You… are despicable. Absolutely disgusting.” Hansen pointed to her face and scolded bitterly, “You’re a sl*t.”
What? A sl*t?
Such indiscriminate accusations and insults were unbearable. She was called a sl*t. She was devastated and exasperated!
How could he say that to her? Who gave him the right to barge into her room like that?
However, she was concerned about the child inside her.
“You, get out! I can pretend nothing happened. I won’t even bother to fight with a lunatic like you,” she pointed at the door and shouted loudly.
She had to worry about many things at Richards Manor. She had to take care of Hansen’s father during the day and face the cynicism of his mother when she returned home. There was also a pregnant woman constantly provoking her. Not to mention, she was in charge of taking care of the Richards family. At this moment, this a*shole accused her of no reason and he was not even drunk! He must have meant every word he said.
This was ridiculous!
She couldn’t bear living her life like this anymore!
Every day, she felt like she was walking on eggshells. It was time for her to fend for herself.
