Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) -
Chapter 449
"I'm sorry, Rayan. I understand that you have your concerns. I will not bother you anymore." Jenna gave him a knowing smile. She understood his concerns and was about to leave.
"Jen, it doesn't seem right if I were to make you pay for the system. How about this? I'll give you the system for free." Just as Jenna was about to leave, Rayan's voice rang, announcing the good news. "Really?" Jenna turned around and asked in surprise.
"Of course, I'm doing this for your sake. Hansen is so lucky to have you." Rayan smiled and said grudgingly.
Jenna's eyes welled with tears.
"Are you planning to have a fresh start?" Rayan looked at her and asked with a smile.
He knew very well what was on her mind. In fact, he figured out her intentions right away when she called him and wanted to meet him.
"Rayan, to be honest, the luxury cars produced by the company have no value anymore. Even if we manage to find evidence to prove our innocence, it will be difficult to introduce the cars into the market again. We are forced to make some changes and start all over. However, I believe that with our skills and your system, we will be able to achieve our goals," Jenna said with a heavy heart.
Rayan nodded. He stared ahead and complimented her.
"Jen, I'm so jealous of Hansen. He has all your love. What a blessing!"
There was a hint of envy in his voice and he looked pretty dejected.
Jenna sighed. "Rayan, don't pull my leg anymore."
"No, I'm not teasing you. I have noticed your potential right from the start. Alas, I was too late." He chided himself in a self-deprecating tone.
Jenna was filled with anguish when she heard what he said. If she had met Rayan first when she was just a kid, she might have fallen in love with him. After all, he was a remarkable man. If that was the case, she might have lived a much better life.
However, this was her fate.
"Rayan, Hannah is far better than me. You are so lucky to be able to marry her. Everyone has their own path in life. We have our own destinies. People come and go. Hence, we should appreciate those who are still by our side. That's what we should focus on," Jenna said impassionedly. She thought of Hannah and a slow smile worked its way across her face and into her eyes.
Although she did nothing much, she had indirectly brought them together. It was their fate. Everything was destined from the beginning. Who were they to change their paths?
"Rayan, when you get married, I will send you my blessing." The wind tossed her head and she grinned. Her smile was pure and innocent.
Seeing her smile moved him and brought a smile to his face as well.
"Rayan, I will take my leave first. Someone will contact you later regarding the matter. Thank you once again." Jenna remembered that she had lots to do over here and time was scarce. Hence, she did not chat with him any longer and left after saying goodbye.
Rayan stared at her thin figure walking away. Although she was skinny, there was determination in her eyes and she remained steady and firm. He sighed.
Just as Jenna was about to disappear from sight, Rayan raised his voice and shouted, "Jen, the Jones Group has suddenly introduced lots of cars into the market. I find it very suspicious. You can look into the matter."
Jenna stopped in her tracks.
Everything had been in a mess in the Richards Group since the crisis. However, what Rayan said reminded her about something.
An image of a woman flashed across her mind and her gaze turned ice-cold.
She turned around and smiled. "Rayan, thank you for the reminder. I know what to do now."
She then waved goodbye to Rayan, who waved to her as well.
At that moment, the sight of Rayan standing by the river made her recall the past. She remembered the times when she was poor and in despair. She was crouching on the grass over there with her car designs, looking very weak and helpless.
A man walked towards her and everything changed ever since.
She was truly blessed beyond measure to have met Rayan in her life. Although there was no romance between them, he was very important to her. She would always remember what he had done for her. She smiled, revealing her neat row of white teeth.
At first, her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled, but eventually, she broke into a wide grin.
Jenna had arrived early at the American University of Fashion Design and Business Studies that Sabrina had been attending that morning. She had been wandering around the car ous in her car for quite a while.
Sabrina had been enrolled in the fashion design course at the university. According to her, she had bumped into Norton before over here.
Jenna parked her car inconspicuously in a corner and looked around at the crowd.
She had come over the day before but she did not see him.
If she had guessed correctly, breaking up with Sabrina had served a huge blow to Norton. He seemed to have discovered something that he had been looking for all this while in Sabrina. This was human nature. They seldom appreciated what they had and will only regret it once it was gone.
Suddenly, a tall man emerged at the gate of the building.
Jenna stared at him, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
After a while, the man appeared, carrying a bag. He was followed by a few other men. They got into a van.
Where were they going?
The van pulled away.
Jenna was puzzled and hurried after them.
After a while, the van came to a halt in front of a grand building.
The men got down from the car and they gestured something to the wall before entering the building.
Jenna caught a glimpse of the words written on the back of the van and understood at once what they were about to do.
They were the window cleaners in charge of washing windows from a small platform that hung from ropes on the side of tall buildings and skyscrapers. They worked at great heights. Jenna never expected that Norton would become a window cleaner. It was a risky job.
Besides, he had been doing this for the entire year.
Was he still the Young Master of the Richards Group?
She stared at his back from the car.
His silhouette was similar to Hansen's.
However, something had changed. He looked sturdier than ever.
She sat in the car and watched as he hung from the ropes on the side of the building and washed the windows. He was pretty focused while working and was doing a splendid job. Everyone was the same. Although Norton was inferior to Hansen, he was still part of the Richards family. Besides, there were not many descendants of the Richards family. He was supposed to live a comfortable life without the need to worry about anything. However, he was forced to adapt to the situation as well during difficult times like these.
Jenna could not believe her eyes when she saw Norton washing the entire wall.
Environmental factors did play a role in a person's growth.
It turned out that Norton, who had been driven out of the family, had no source of income at first. Hence, he was forced to take up this job as he had no other expertise.
Although it was a risky job, he was able to earn a lot and he had lots of time to himself. This was his choice. Besides, the place he worked at was near Sabrina's university. He would be able to see her often. He knew what happened to the Richards Group but he had no intention to intervene.
He was no longer part of the family.
At noon, Norton finally finished his task for the day. He was free to do anything he wished with the remaining time.
Of course, he was not satisfied with being a window cleaner forever. However, he needed money to start a business. Hence, he could only look for opportunities while working as a window cleaner.
He didn't dare to meet Sabrina due to his job. He was afraid that she would look down upon him.
Each time, he could only watch her from afar. He vowed to become successful and make everyone look up to him.
After returning to the company to get his salary for the day, he kept the money in his bag and walked out of the building.
Jenna followed him in her car.
He went to a restaurant to have his lunch before walking into a dark and narrow basement.
Jenna parked her car and walked down the street. She was just about to go down to the basement to find him. Suddenly, a man emerged.
He was walking towards her. Jenna was finally able to take a good look at him.
He looked tanned and thin. He wore a plain t-shirt and it seemed that he had not shaved for a few
days as he was growing a beard. However, he seemed calm and steady as he looked coolly ahead.
He cast a glance in her direction.
The expression on his face changed abruptly. He spun around and was about to run away.
"Norton, stop!" Jenna bellowed.
Norton had no choice but to stop in his tracks.
"Norton, how long are you going to hide from us? You are a man. Are you planning to stay here forever?" Jenna asked, standing behind him. Her expression was solemn.
Norton trembled and he slowly turned around. He sniggered.
"Jenna, you're making fun of me now, aren't you?"
His expression was unreadable. There was a sneer on his face, but apart from that, he did not show any other emotions. He was far more mature and calmer compared to the past.
"Are you kidding me?" Jenna sneered. "Why would I waste my time on you? You better not make others look down upon the Richards Group.”
The muscles along his jaw clenched and his smile was strained. "I have already been driven out of the family. Don't worry, no matter what I do, it will not affect the reputation of the family. I have nothing to do with you guys anymore."
What he said was harsh and brutal. Rage flowed through her veins when she heard what he said.
"Nonsense. Without the Richards Group, where would you be? I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful brat! After all these years in prison, you still failed to recognize your mistakes and come to your senses. How ridiculous!" Jenna was seething with anger. How could he still bear a grudge against the Richards family for driving him out of the family?
"Jenna, you love Hansen. Hence, no matter what he did, you will always think that he is in the right. What about me? I may have made some mistakes in the past, but was it so hard to forgive me? I already said before that all I wished was to stop your father from participating in the election so that I can win, and make you guys proud of me. I have never thought of murdering him. Who knew that Earl would do something like that behind my back after using me? I have endured my punishment for the past few years and I don't owe you anything anymore. Now, I'm no longer part of the family and what I do is none of your business. Please respect me." Norton sniggered and he remained detached and cold. He was in no mood to stay and was about to leave.
"Stop right there." Jenna saw what he was about to do and stopped him. She was filled with anguish. The Richards Group was in trouble and Vivian had been longing to see him every day. She didn't expect him to still bear a grudge against the family. Her disappointment was apparent.
"Norton, let bygones be bygones. I no longer hate you for what has happened in the past. Don't tell me you still bear a grudge against us? Have you thought of Grandma? What about your mother? You are being pretty irresponsible here. Norton, let me remind you. You are a man. I'm here to tell you that I wish to bring you home." Jenna's aura was overbearing and her unwavering glare held him in place.
