Chapter 319 His Personal Affairs Are Not Over
Christopher turned around and said respectfully to Trevor, who was sitting in a wheelchair, “Uncle Richards, congratulations on your recovery. You must go to Capital City next time to visit my father. He has been talking about you every day.”
“Sure, Christopher. Please tell your father to visit A City too.” Trevor nodded with a pleasant smile.
After greeting them one by one, Christopher came over and shook hands with Hansen. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “How about that? I have helped restore your reputation. Consider this a favor, alright?”
Upon hearing this, Hansen rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly, “One thing’s proven; we only have ourselves to rely on. If I hadn’t acted first and caught Brock, would you still have this achievement?”
Christopher laughed heartily and did not argue with him. Teasing, he said, “You’re still so narrow-minded. Be careful that Jenna may not forgive you. At that time, you’ll be miserable.”
After he finished speaking, he grinned and left, leaving a stunned Hansen in his wake.
“Trevor, I was planning to hand over the family patriarch’s seal to Hansen today,” Vivian said solemnly to the now healthy Trevor.
However, Trevor shook his head and immediately disagreed.
“Mother, the situation right now is different. There is no need to strike while the iron is hot now. At this moment, his personal affairs are not over yet. After he’s dealt with his personal affairs, we will talk about the patriarch. Not to worry, you are still in good health. With me being here, the seal will be handed over to him sooner or later. Now is not the right time. His personal affairs alone are enough to cause him a headache. He didn’t handle his relationship well from the very beginning, which led to his current predicament. The man is almost 30 years old. Yet, he can’t handle the relationship between his family and himself. It’s time for him to reflect his actions.”
Shaking his head, Trevor glanced at the dazed Hansen who was standing at the side.
“Well, Trevor, you’re right. This child is good in everything, but he is too apathetic when it comes to relationships. He’s not mature enough. No matter how despicable someone is, everything happens for a reason. If he does well enough, how could others seize the opportunity to stir up trouble? Then, it’s also a good thing that all these had happened. That way, everyone can differentiate what’s good and what’s evil. This is crucial to our Richards family as well.” Vivian nodded her head and sighed in agreement. “It’s just that Norton can’t be forgiven this time. According to the family rules in Richards Manor, he must be kicked out of the family after this incident.”
Richards family’s meeting was still taking place, but it revolved around their internal family affairs.
Vivian immediately announced that Norton would be expelled from the family.
Trevor decided to reorganize Richards Manor. After the meeting, he and Hansen were discussing the countermeasures. They reshuffled a lot of staff members and servants and also enacted many new family rules. Once again, the meeting was conducted to restructure everything.
Two days had passed after everything was sorted.
Since then, the entire Richards Manor had been brimming with spirit and was once again filled with its unique charm.
The scarlet liquid swirled in Rayan’s pale fingers, his fair fingers painted pink.
In the luxurious private lounge, a soft, melodious tune was playing.
All kinds of sumptuous dishes were placed on the table. The wallpaper fashioned after European Romanticism decor exuded an amorous atmosphere in the room.
“Rayan, there’s no need to order so many dishes. It’s such a waste,” Jenna said somewhat uneasily as she glanced at the table full of dishes in front of her.
Rayan said with a gentle smile, “Silly girl, this is a must. The case of your father’s tragic death is finally closed. This calls for a celebration.”
“Thank you.” Jenna lowered her head. Tears started forming in the corners of her eyes.
“Jen, promise me that you will live a happy life in the future.” The left side of Rayan’s chest was still wrapped in gauze. He stretched out his right hand to hold Jenna’s cold, tiny hand and his demeanour was serious.
Jenna raised her head and locked eyes with him. A drop of tear flowed from her eyes.
“Yes.” She nodded vigorously.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Now that everything is over, we have to look forward. Only if you live well will your father know it from the other side.” Rayan grabbed the red wine and handed it to her. “Drink some wine to warm your body. You should be proud of your father. He was a good man who deserves our respect. Come on, let’s have a toast to his indomitable morals.”
Rayan raised the wine glass in his hand and swirled it gently. He clinked glasses with Jenna and drank it slowly.
“Alright.” Jenna nodded. She wiped away her tears and gently parted her lips. “Thank you.”
She also raised her glass and merely took a small sip, in consideration for the baby in her womb.
“Jen, thank you for taking care of me these days.” Rayan let go of his arm from his left chest and leaned forward. He propped himself against the table with a smile and looked at Jenna. With a faint smile on his face, he said, “You are the most unforgettable woman out of all the ladies I had known, and the most worthy of my respect. I will never forget about you in this life.”
Jenna’s head was a little dizzy, her cheeks tinted with a light blush due to the alcohol. She did not understand his words but only giggled. “Rayan, that’s because you think too highly of me. I am a woman with many flaws. You don’t fully understand me. If you do, you won’t praise me like this.”
“No, Jen. I know you all too well. It is because I know you too well that I had said these words.” Rayan tilted his head and gulped down the red wine in his glass. A charming smile bloomed on his face.
“Rayan, you have a gunshot wound now. It’s bad for you to drink this much wine.” Jenna was a little anxious when she saw him drinking several glasses in a row. She hastily persuaded him.
“Don’t worry. I’m a man. I’m in good health. This gunshot wound is nothing to me.” Rayan smiled, his bright eyes blinking.
When he saw the worry in Jenna’s eyes, a thought flashed across his mind. However, he let out a sigh in his heart and wore a sorrowful look on his face.
“Jen, I used to think that I could steal your heart. At the very least, I don’t think that Hansen is worthy of your feelings. There were no prospects between the two of you. Now, I don’t think so anymore.”
He shook his head. The light in his eyes dimmed and flickered. Jenna looked at him in astonishment. She could not understand what he was trying to say.
“Rayan, what are you trying to say?” She made eye contact with him, her sparkling eyes carried a slight smile. “Rayan, you saved me. I won’t take back what I said.”
She looked very serious. There was no hesitation on her face, not in the slightest bit.
“Is that so?” Rayan continued smiling. “Tell me, are you still in love with Hansen?”
She had designed a unique car for him and it became popular all over the world. He once envied and hated him, and he couldn’t bear to see her with him. Yet, for him, she had still designed another car that captivated people everywhere.
“I…” When Hansen was mentioned, Jenna’s calm heart suddenly felt a piercing pain. The pain flashed across her eyes, but it did not escape Rayan’s sharp eyes. “Rayan, there’s no way for him and I to be together anymore. We don’t have anything to do with each other. If it wasn’t to find out the cause of my father’s death, we wouldn’t even have the chance to cross paths.”
She was telling the truth.
