"Jenna, are you alright?" Sergio asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Jenna shook her head. Since that person moved so swiftly, it must have been premeditated. She would not be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate further. Besides, this is a blindspot and there were no cameras in sight. She could only blame herself for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Jenna shook her head in denial and didn't want to think further.

"Thank you, Sergio. I still have some matters to attend to." She didn't want to stay there any longer.

"Jenna, let's have a chat," Sergio said with a smile and tried to persuade her to stay.

His charming smile and gentle voice made Jenna feel at ease.

Jenna relaxed. She didn't have any special feelings for Sergio, but he didn't make her feel particularly disgusted. She smiled and said, "I've been here far too long. The only reason I came here was to get away from the crowd."

"Yes, there are indeed a lot of people today." Sergio smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

"It seems that Jenna also didn't like this kind of banquet social event." He thought.

Jenna gave a faint smile and made no comments. "Jenna, you're still the same after all these years. You're noble, upright, and unwilling to socialize with mediocre people. It must be hard for you to maintain your temperament in this world." Sergio praised sincerely.

"No, I'm also human. Please don't praise me like this." Jenna looked around and did not have the mood to carry on the conversation. What's more, this place was remote, and there were only two of them. Obviously, it was not inappropriate. She was Mrs. Richards now.

She then smiled politely and said with a hint of impatience, "Sergio, I didn't see you when Hansen and I were toasting. I didn't think I'd see you here. I've stayed here for far too long, Hansen must be looking for me. I have to go. Let's talk another day."

She lifted her gown and left.

"Jenna." Sergio stopped her in time. "I just got off the plane. I arrived late due to something urgent."

"Oh, I see." Jenna stopped in her tracks and plastered a smile. However, she did not turn around.

"Jenna, you're so beautiful tonight. Among all the women here, you're the most beautiful and pristine. You reminded me a lot of Jen." Sergio praised her from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you." Jenna shook her head and smiled, "Sergio, I really have to go."

She lifted her gown again and wanted to leave.

"Jenna." Sergio really didn't want to let her go.

Jenna had to stop again after taking two steps. It seemed impolite to leave him alone like this. Besides, he had helped her up just now. What's more, she couldn't afford to offend the Xanthe family, who was militarily and politically influential. Not only that, Sergio had a good relationship with her mother back in Wullen Town.

"Congratulations on your wedding with Hansen. I saw it," Sergio said clearly to her back. The smile on his face froze and loneliness crossed his eyes.

These words made Jenna feel completely at ease. When it came to Hansen, a sense of happiness arose in her heart. She turned around and smiled brightly, "Thank you."

At this moment, the panic on her face faded away. She sported a charming and lively smile. It came from the bottom of her heart, filled with selfconfidence and happiness.

She must be very happy now. He couldn't help but to ask, "Is he good to you?" He wanted to hear her

answer himself.

"Yes." Jenna did not hesitate and answered loudly. She raised her head and said, "Hansen and I are very much in love. He cares about me deeply and we're very happy. I hope that you can find a beloved woman and live happily too."

"Thank you." The smile on Sergio's face was a little stiff.

Jenna smiled again. "I wish you all the best, and I hope your father's election goes well," She said and nodded to him.

Upon hearing her blessing, Sergio knew she was also concerned about this matter. He thought for a moment, looked up, and smiled, "Jenna, can I talk to you about it?"

Jenna finally understood why he came to see her. It turned out that he wanted her support. She immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Sergio, the rules of the Richards family are clear. We can't get involved in politics. As a daughter-in-law, I can only abide by them. There's nothing I can do to change it."

She was right. The Richards family had never been involved in politics. This was Old Master Richard's philosophy. Hence, he led his entire family of over a hundred people back to his ancestral home, A City, and began his business career. This had also been inscribed into the Richards family's teachings.

Politics had always been complicated. Old Master Richards never wished for his descendants to offend any politicians, nor did he wish for their business environment to be overly complicated. Back then, Vivian had only agreed for Aria to stay in Richards Manor to protect the family's traditional business. Secondly, she also didn't want to offend Earl. This was something Jenna gradually realized when she became the mistress of the family. Therefore, she would not agree to any of Sergio's requests.

Sergio's heart trembled slightly at her gentle refusal. Her words were polite, but they also emphasized her indifference. There were hundreds of thousands of people in Richards Group. If they chose to stand by his side, then it would be an obvious advantage, and he wouldn't have to resort to teaming up with Zoella.

Although he saw it coming, it still made him a little uncomfortable as he hadn't said much about the topic.

Jenna also saw the embarrassment and disappointment on his face.

"Don't worry, Sergio. Since the Richards family has no involvement in politics, we won't support Luqman either. That, I can promise. At present, Mr.

Xanthe has a big chance of winning. Cheer up." She smiled and comforted him in a soft voice.

"Well, thank you." Sergio smiled and was about to say something, only to hear footsteps approaching. "Jenna, there you are. I've been looking all over for you."

Hansen's voice warmed Jenna immediately. The fear she had earlier had completely disappeared. "Hansen, I just came here with Hannah to get away from the crowd," Jenna explained as she wrapped her arms around his. However, at the same time, she was a little frightened. Perhaps she had been there for far too long, which made him anxious. He did mention that he would be looking for her when he needed her by his side.

"Silly girl, I came across Rayan and Hannah when I was looking for you and she told me where you were." Hansen sounded worried and upset, but gentle nonetheless, as if he couldn't bear to blame her. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Hansen." Jenna regretted coming here. She took his arm and said, "Are we meeting someone? Let's go."

Hansen nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Sergio. In fact, it was hard not to notice at all.

"Sergio, you're here?" He frowned and asked politely, with a look of surprise on his face.

Jenna's face darkened. Now that he had seen her and Sergio standing in the dark, would he misunderstand? "D*mn Hannah, for ditching me here. Not only did I almost lose my life, but Hansen would also most likely misunderstand. What an awful friend."

"Hansen, I happened to come here for a walk and saw Jenna standing here alone. So, I went forward and greeted her," Sergio explained. Jenna's gloomy look did not escape Sergio's eyes even in such a dark environment.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry but Jenna has to come with me now," Hansen said, smiling faintly.

"Okay, then. I'll walk around." Sergio did not try to keep her any longer.

Hansen nodded and gently held Jenna's hand. "Let's go, Jenna. I'll take you to meet Madam Lilian."

Madam Lilian? Has she really arrived?

Jenna was taken aback and she nodded obediently. Hansen led her back to the banquet.

With Hansen by her side, the fear in her heart had long faded. However, there was still some lingering fear. Should she tell him what had happened?

However, if she told him, Hansen would definitely investigate further. It was obvious that this matter had long been premeditated. Even Sergio said that he did not see anyone. So, it would be impossible for him to find anything if he insisted on investigating.

The guests were all prominent and famous people. If she made a fuss with no evidence, she would only make a fool of herself and even bring shame to Hansen. It seemed that she could only wait and tell him another day!

With these thoughts in mind, she decided to push this matter aside. Jenna happily followed Hansen to meet Madam Lilian.
