"Dad, I didn't mean it. I just want to surprise you after I brought Jenna and Jerry back." Hansen murmured. "Surprise?" Trevor snorted. "I'm afraid I don't have the luck to enjoy that surprise of yours anymore."

He changed the subject suddenly, asking, "How's the investment of the petrochemical factory going?"

"This..." Hansen was more taken aback that Trevor even knew about these things. He made a mental note not to underestimate Lomen anymore. "Dad, this matter is a tricky one. Through the investigations over the past few days, we found that the background of the petrochemical plant is complicated."

"Yeah?" Trevor nodded without batting an eyelid. "Look, you know that this matter is complicated. Alright, I'll ask you now. What are your plans?"

Plans?

A bitter smile was spread across Hansen's face. He was set back by a remote chemical factory. It had never happened before. He was deep in thought and didn't say anything.

Trevor glanced at his expression, trying to understand it. "This kid is at a loss now? Given the current situation, it's impossible for him to stay in this small town for two months." He thought.

"Well, Hansen. Let's give up on the chemical factory first. Now, let's go back to A City," Trevor said decisively.

Give up?

Hansen looked at Trevor. He did not look like he was joking.

"It's just that, Dad, the problem regarding the car accessories raw materials has to be solved. It took me half a year to find out about this factory. I can't give up just like this." Hansen felt it difficult to open up, and he put forward his most concerning issue.

"Even if you have 10,000 reasons, we can only give up on this factory for now." Trevor heaved a deep sigh. The light in his eyes dimmed and his tone was almost harsh. "You can never have too much money. Richards Group is successful now, thus we don't have to carry on. At worst, we'll just make less money. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Right now, safety and comfort are our top priority. Let's take care of our current business and let go of this raw material problem first."

He spoke in a grave tone.

Hansen realized that things were unusual. These raw materials needed to be solved urgently. Otherwise, it was not conducive to the long-term growth of the company.

Richards Group was currently involved in international development. Their focus would be on cars. After all, the development prospect of the car industry in the real economy would be the best. However, to solve this problem, to strive for greater profit, they needed to solve the issue of raw materials. They could choose not to, but they had to do it if they aim to be more competitive.

He understood this problem, and obviously, Trevor understood it as well. Trevor said, "Hansen, if this problem can't be solved this year, we can solve it next year. It's not something that requires immediate attention. We can't take all the benefits. This will lead to disaster. You must know how many people are jealous of you now, and they are watching your every move."

When Hansen heard this, he became silent and did not say another word.

"Tomorrow, call Jenna. Let's discuss it together. We still have to go home as soon as possible." Trevor continued his orders.

At that time, Marissa came out of the bathroom after changing her clothes. She smiled and said, "Hansen, Jerry is so adorable. He looks like you. Even his temper and character are similar to yours. I accidentally lost his toy today. He cried and tried to fight me. He acted just like you when you were a child. He's also smart. He disassembled a difficult car. In a blink of an eye, it was pieced together again. I don't even know how to do it. How old he?"

Marissa said while clicking her tongue in praise.

When Hansen heard this, he was proud and his eyes exhibited tenderness.

"Jerry takes after his mother in her talent for cars. Jenna is a rare talent at car design." A proud smile appeared on his face.

Hansen looked like he could not wait to fly back. Marissa knew that Jenna and he were in love with each other at that moment.

"It's getting late. You should go back first. Let's talk tomorrow." Marissa shook her head. Hansen was not paying attention. He was obviously thinking about Jenna.

Hansen raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside. It was indeed getting late. He stood up and took his leave.

Trevor did not stop him and only nodded.

Walking out of the hotel entrance, he was full of joy, and his footsteps were light. Even the dark night seemed to be covered with a sheen of golden light.

Would Jenna wait for him at home?

Now, he could rightfully take her home.

They were able to stay together without any qualms.

He quickened his pace at the thought of it.

In the yard, the house was dark, and the lights were out. Obviously, she wasn't there.

He suddenly felt a little lost and disappointed.

After switching on the lights, he took out his mobile phone and called her.

He didn't want to sleep alone. He wanted her to keep him company. Without her company, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

As soon as he made the call, his call was declined. He was dumbfounded.

He called her again and she declined his call once again.

D*mn woman. She dared to hang up on him. Was she acting like that because his parents invited her? He was deep in thought when he heard a message notification. It was a text from Jenna. "Hansen, I'm going to keep Mom company today. Go to bed early."

D*mn, how could she!

She gave him the cold shoulder.

Soon, his lips curled. They were heading back to A City soon, and they would stay together forever. They would never separate again. So, he wouldn't care about this one night.

Now that he thought about it, he was no longer feeling dissatisfied.

The next day, Trevor called both Hansen and Jenna to Hansen's study.

"Hansen, Jenna, it's just the three of us today. There's something we need to discuss," Trevor said. He had just sat down when he spoke to Jenna.

Jenna looked at Trevor. This old man was in good spirits. It seemed like he had completely recovered. The previous day, it had been too sudden, and she had been too surprised even to size him up.

She smiled at Trevor and nodded.

Trevor gave a thorough account of the recent financial crisis of the Richards Group and the petrochemical factory. He called Jenna over because he did not intend to hide anything from her. After all, she had once served as the vice president of Richards Group. She would make a good judgement about the priorities and urgency of the current situations.

Moreover, she would be the one in charge when she returned. There were some things that she had to help Hansen with. At the same time, it also meant that he trusted her.

Of course, Jenna could understand this.

To her surprise, the petrochemical factory had such a complicated background.

It was no wonder Hansen hadn't invested in time. There were so many unknown factors to it. Of course, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.

The memory of Mr. Koch coming to her with the children emerged in her mind. The gleam of hope in his and the children's eyes had left an impression on her. Although they had all been entrusted by Kyrie to approach her, she had witnessed the actual difficulties of the factory.

"Jenna, do you have any suggestions?" After Trevor finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Jenna. He wanted to hear her suggestion.

Jenna thought for a moment and said seriously, "If there are so many unknown factors behind the petrochemical factory, I suggest that we hold back for the time being. Let's wait and see."

This idea was consistent with Trevor's. Trevor immediately nodded and agreed with her. "Yes, that's what I think too."

Hansen was deep in thought. Since Jenna and Trevor thought the same, he would not persist any longer. He could not possibly take all the benefits.

"Jenna, you know that we had come to collect you and your mother, as well as Jerry, to go to Richards Manor. Do you have any objections to this?" Trevor changed the topic and asked Jenna. If they couldn't invest here, they could only return to Richards Manor for now. They couldn't delay for too long.

Upon hearing this, Jenna blushed slightly as she looked up at Hansen. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her with a burning gaze.

"You have no objections, right? You have to know that your mother has given us the OK." Hansen saw that she was not in a hurry to answer and was worried that she would go back on her word. Therefore, he quizzed her before she could answer.

Jenna pursed her lips and clenched her fingers. She looked up and said clearly, "Uncle Richards, I'll listen to you. I'm willing to go back with Hansen."

"Good." The smile on Trevor's face was cordial. "Jenna, I have been waiting for you to say this. With your consent, everything will be easy."

He gave a generous chuckle and said, "Jenna, you should change the way you address me. We will be a family in the future. You should also call me 'Dad', alright?"

He smiled, with a friendly and expectant look on his face.

Jenna lifted her eyes and saw Hansen looking at her with a meaningful smile. There was a trace of pride in his eyes. She avoided his gaze and said, "Dad, you've always been a father figure to me. Even if I'm not married to Hansen, I am willing to call you 'Dad'."

"My goodness. She sounded so natural that her words both met the old man's wish but also did not reveal her eagerness. She upheld her dignity."

Hansen approved in his heart. "This d*mned woman sure knows how to talk and put on airs."

"Alright, Jenna. Hansen is my only son. You'll take him on in the future. If he does something wrong, feel free to come to me. If he dares to bully you again, you must tell me as soon as possible. I will dish out the punishment he deserves," Trevor said happily, with a promise in his word.

"Yes, Dad." Jenna agreed crisply and did not forget to glance at Hansen. The smugness was evident in her eyes.

Showing favouritism again! Hansen lifted an eyebrow. He was helpless against his father's preferences.

After chatting for a while, the three of them agreed that they would return to A City three days later.
