A woman burst into tears in front of her husband, attempting to get her husband's sympathy by acting pathetically. Jenna felt like she might puke in disgust. She felt a lump in her throat and she felt incredibly

uncomfortable.

She shot her a cold glare.

"Jenna, how about this? You can do whatever you want. We should not allow those who don't know the rules to remain in the company. That's a breach of integrity." After hearing what she said, Hansen understood immediately what happened and spoke his mind.

Jenna raised her eyebrows and gave him an enigmatic smile as she glanced at Liya.

At this moment, Liya's face grew dispirited.

"How about this? You can leave your design over here. I will let you know my thoughts once I have looked through them. You may leave now. Remember to go through the company's code of conduct. I hope that you will not repeat your mistakes in the future," Jenna said lightly. All Jenna did was to look at her and smile. She did not hold a grudge against her.

Was that all? Liya was a little surprised. She thought that Jenna would drive her out of the company in front of Hansen. After all, she was trying to seduce Mr. Richards a moment ago. However, to her surprise, Jenna did not sack her, nor did she punish her. She let her go even after Hansen said that she could do as she wished.

For the first time, she felt that Jenna was not as simple as she thought. She did not have a high social status, connections, or a powerful family background but she was able to make Hansen fall in love with her and become his wife. She must be someone very smart, with a high EQ and IQ.

The thought crossed her mind and she decided to mask the hatred she felt towards her. Instead, she forced a smile and bowed, showing that she was grateful and said, "Thank you, Ms. Murphy, for letting the matter slide. I'll take my leave first."

"Sure, you may leave," Jenna said indifferently with a smile on her face.

Jenna watched as she disappeared from sight before she turned around.

She did not sack her although her mistakes were sufficient for her to do so, as right at the moment, she remembered what Vivian said. She remembered Vivian mentioning that she was filled with guilt for driving the woman and her daughter away.

It was very likely that Liya was the little girl whom Vivian had mentioned about. Liya was probably the daughter of the woman who followed Claude home and was then driven away from Richards Manor. After considering what Vivian said, she changed her mind. Besides, there was no need to sack her for a mere trifle like this. It was unnecessary.

Although the incident had left a bad impression on her, she did not wish to drive her away that easily.

She had every reason to believe that Liza had ulterior motives for coming to work at Richards Group. One of them was to seduce her husband.

It was better to place her somewhere under her direct supervision, than to drive her away and allow her to make a move behind her back, so that she can keep an eye on her and observe what she was plotting.

Both of them had gone through a lot of ups and downs in the past. She did not believe that Hansen would fall in love with a woman like her.

She found it hard to believe.

Besides, she wanted to prove that she had not wasted her love and effort on the wrong person.

"Jenna, are you letting her go just like that?" Hansen was surprised that Jenna did not punish her and let the matter slide so easily. Hence, he couldn't help but to enquire.

"Of course, you have asked me to let her go for your sake. I should at least respect your decision," Jenna replied with confidence, raising her head as she laughed.

"No, thanks. I did not ask you to let her stay." Hansen raised his eyebrows and grinned. Ignoring what she said, he stretched out his arms to hug her. Jenna acted immediately and dodged it. She raised her head and looked at him proudly.

"Jenna, are you going to give me a piece of your mind again?" Hansen gritted his teeth and demanded. His heart yearned for her but he did not succeed in hugging her. "What's the rush? I have something to talk to you about. You'd better be serious." Jenna's expression was solemn and she tilted her head as she glanced at him. "What's the matter?" Hansen looked at her in puzzlement.

Jenna narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. Her gaze was cold. "Tell me the truth. Were you planning on betraying me?"

Hansen was stunned for a moment, and he almost burst into laughter when he saw her

expression.

"My dear wife. I only have eyes for you right now. Nobody else could catch my attention. Why would I betray you? Please talk sense," Hansen cried.

"So, you won't betray me even if someone seduces you? Are you sure?" Jenna's eyes widened as she asked in a more serious tone.

"Of course. Besides, who would dare to seduce me? Everyone in the world knows that I have a gorgeous wife. Who in the world would have the guts to come and seduce me? Do they wish to be humiliated? What an unspeakable twaddle!" Hansen teased.

"Hmph, flattery will get you nowhere." Jenna laughed but she continued. "I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Liya wanted to seduce you. She was quite enthusiastic about it."

Hansen sighed when he heard what she said. He frowned. "Jenna, you hired Liya. You were the one who said that we should keep her. I did not have a say from the start nor do I know what had happened. Even if I knew her in the past, it was all when we were just kids. I barely remember anything. This doesn't mean anything."

"Of course it doesn't mean anything." Jenna snorted with disdain. "However, even if you are not interested in her, what would you do if she continues to pester you?"

Jenna's gaze was overbearing as she looked at him. With her arms crossed, she tilted her head and asked, "Tell me, what would you do?"

"Hey, you're being unreasonable." Hansen felt that Jenna was messing with him, and didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. He couldn't help but to express his exasperation. "It's like you are interviewing me. I'm against it."

"You will have to bear with it." Jenna's face fell and she demanded him. "I'm feeling uneasy. Tell me immediately. What would you do if this happens?"

Well, Hansen had no choice but to take it seriously. He pondered for a while and after a long silence, he spoke resolutely.

"I won't be fooled. I only have eyes for you and I belong only to you. Nobody will be able to seduce me. Are you happy with my answer?"

Hansen's voice trailed off and he paused. He seized the opportunity when she was not paying attention to drag her into his arms.

Jenna was paying attention to his facial expression to see if he was telling the truth. She was caught off guard when he dragged her onto the couch. The scoundrel put his hand up her skirt.

"Well, if my answer doesn't satisfy you. I have another method. This will definitely put you at ease." Hansen teased and started kissing her.

"Oh, stop." Unable to control herself, she cried out. Flustered, she stretched out her hand to grab his ear and she pulled it hard. Hansen grimaced in pain and stopped what he was doing.

At this moment, Jenna didn't sympathize with him. She glared at him and warned him. "Hansen, I'm warning you. If you dare to betray Jerry and me, I will never forgive you, and I will definitely teach you a lesson."

Upon saying that, she pinched his ears again.

Hansen howled in agony and yelled, "Oh, no! Someone wants to murder her husband."

Jenna pursed her lips and laughed.

Hansen was in pain. He bit her rosy lips in revenge and nibbled on them. However, he understood her heart when he saw her furrowing her brows in pain, and immediately let go of her. Instead, he proceeded to kiss her gently.

Both of them had forgotten about everything else, and they were locked in an embrace till noon.

It was not until Jenna remembered the newspaper she saw on the couch that morning that her heart skipped a beat. She recalled the moment that she heard him blowing a fuse in his office a few hours ago. This was not something minor.

She hurriedly pushed him away and urged him to sit up.

"Hansen, you've seen today's newspaper, haven't you?" Her jaws tightened as she asked in a panic.

Hansen was stunned for a moment before he recalled why he had come to her office. He was there to tell her what happened. In fact, he was in a bad mood before he entered, but somehow, the sight of her cheered him up and he forgot what he wanted to say. He was on cloud nine, just to be with her, that he had almost forgotten about it.

"The downside of having a stunning wife," he muttered as he sat up.

Jenna helped him as he out his suit on. Both of them sat facing each other.

"Hansen, be frank with me. Are you going to support Luqman?" Jenna asked in a serious tone.

Hansen's eyes were crystal clear as he asked with a solemn expression, "What do you think about this?"

"I'm absolutely against it," Jenna responded immediately.

"Why?"

"I don't need a valid reason. According to the Richards Group's code of conduct, we can't be associated with them in any manner. We must treat both the Xanthe family and the Wood family equally. I have already expressed my opinion to Sergio when he enquired that day at the party." Jenna kept her explanation simple, as it was pretty obvious.

Hansen pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Why did you go and see Luqman? What's more, why was it published in the news? Are you foolish?" Jenna was on tenterhooks.

"Do you think that's what I want? This is obviously a scheme. Someone is plotting something against the Richards Group." Hansen stood up abruptly and his expression was frightening. "Jenna, I'm here to remind you to be careful. Now that the Richards Group has gained power, many are jealous of us and wish to harm us. You must be careful."

"I will." Jenna thought of something and it made her uneasy. She nodded her head.

"Don't worry too much about this. I will get to the bottom of the mystery and find out who is behind this and what their motive is. I will find out what they want." Hansen's expression darkened. He had never felt like this before. Someone was toying with him right under his nose. This was indeed infuriating.

"Hansen, it is obvious that someone wants us to be involved. They want to see us offending the Xanthe family. Who could it be? How nasty and abominable." Jenna was furious. The person pulling the strings behind the scenes was too ruthless. They were willing to do anything to achieve their goals.

"Yes, Jenna, we have to be careful for the time being. Don't worry. You have me. Everything will pass eventually." Hansen comforted her as he thought of what Luqman said. They were already involved in the scheme, whether they liked it or not. The thought crossed his mind and he no longer dawdled, and left after reminding Jenna to be careful.

To be honest, if he was to choose between Yadriel and Luqman, he would prefer Luqman. After all, nobody knew what happened to the chemical factory. Although the conspiracy behind it had been concealed, what was done was definitely against his principles and values. Besides, it definitely had something to do with Yadriel. Hence, for the sake of the country and the people, Luqman would be a better choice.

However, he was a businessman. He didn't want to get too involved in political matters. Besides, no matter who won the position, it would only be for a few years. The economy was stable for now. Hence, it didn't really matter who'd win the position. Nothing much would change in the end.

What's more, it has nothing to do with the Richards Group.

He needed all the energy to focus on the Richards Group's future development. He did not have any time to be involved in politics. In his opinion, politics were only for people who were idle and had nothing to do. It was just a useless and boring game.
