Chapter 203
"The two of you will guard at the stairs on the second floor. I'll call you when I need something." Jenna heard the noise. She walked out and said plainly to the two men.
"Okay," Nelson and Haward responded. They wondered in their hearts, "The luxurious Richards Manor was already heavily guarded. Why did she hire them?"
However, they would not spend the time to guess about what was going on in such a prestigious, big family. The salary was pretty good anyway.
"What are you thinking, having two men in the house? Are you planning to cheat?" Hansen's expression was nasty and his eyebrows were snapped together as if he wanted to knock some sense into her.
Jenna gave him a sidelong glance and spun around, her back facing him. She then strutted into the room and said loudly, "Didn't you hear me just now? To guard against thieves and perverts."
"Who's the thief? Who's the pervert? Be clear with what you say." He was so mad that his head throbbed and his stomach was churning. His whole body was burning with rage. He reached out and grabbed Jenna's hand, asking her viciously.
"Let go of me." Her eyes fell on his hand and she said sternly, "Do I have to call my two bodyguards now?"
Hansen was shocked. If Jenna really asked the two men to come and take hold of him, even if he won against them, he would become a laughing stock to the servants and the outsiders. Even so, he was reluctant to confront her and hurt her feelings. As he thought about it, he let go of his grasp willingly.
But, she was obviously insulting him.
He was the only man in the entire Green Jade Garden. The so- called pervert that she spoke of must be referring to him!
She actually regarded him as a pervert.
Moreover, it was absurd to call two men over to protect her from him.
Jenna took advantage of the moment he let go of her hand and backed up a few steps. With a sneer on her face, she reminded him, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Once the time is up, if you haven't moved out, I will throw your things away." She curled her lips and snorted, "I've only been away for a couple of days and it seems like half of my stuff in the bedroom is gone. I doubt it's safe here. Since there are thieves in the house, I'll definitely have to guard against them."
When she checked her belongings, she realized that some of the jewels Hansen had gifted her from before were all gone, especially the precious diamonds. This reminded her of Ocean Heart given to her by Vivian, which was a rare treasure in the world. Who knew what would happen if word got out.
There were rumors that Vivian has such a rare diamond. Whether it was true or not, no one had ever seen it. It was not that she wanted to have this jewelry all to herself but Vivian trusted her with it. This meant that Vivian must have had her own reasons. She must at least do her best to protect it. She was planning to return it to Hansen in the future but she could not explain further at present.
Something from her room was stolen? Hansen was surprised. Who would dare to do so?
He suddenly remembered the night when Minnie slept in Jenna's room.
The servants in Richards Manor were well aware that the Manor did not tolerate any stealing and they would be fired if they did so. These dirty acts were probably related to Minnie.
It was not surprising that she could do such a thing. After all, she was a woman of spoiled morals.
He had no intention to care about this at this instant. One thing for sure, he was jealous. He wanted to defend his rights as her man.
With two guards standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, staring at him all day long, how could he feel at ease?
Even if there was an elevator, he was uncomfortable thinking of seeing them everyday.
Jenna really would not let him be at peace for even a moment!
"Ms. McAdams, are we just going to let her kick us out?" Minnie was standing in front of Aria with a face of dissatisfaction.
Aria watched as the group of people walked upstairs. Raising her head, she saw two young men standing guard at the top of the stairs of the second floor. They appeared as if they would not hesitate to drag her out if they had to. She was dumbfounded.
It seemed that Jenna was for real this time!
But, Vivian had given Jenna the inheritance rights, therefore she had complete authority in the manor. There was no way to disobey her!
Now that Hansen's entire being was fixated on her, it was impossible to count on him.
As for Marissa, with Vivian's inheritance document, she could not do anything either. Aria saw her face flushing red from anger and knew that she had no way.
"Jenna is something indeed. Grandma Richards had given her the most valuable things in Richards Manor within a few years. She really is manipulative; she has her ways," Aria muttered to herself.
"True," Minnie said bitterly, "However, don't be discouraged. There are so many good things in the Richards family. This doesn't mean anything. Ocean Heart is a priceless treasure, let alone the Richards Group. You are pregnant with the heir of the Richards family. If there's someone that deserves these, it's you. Grandma Richards will not be so stupid as to not leave anything for her grandchildren. Since these things are given to Jenna, let her have them. These are just some old villas. Richards Group has so many other properties and fixed assets that cost a fortune. We mustn't fret over this little money."
Minnie was right and Aria nodded in agreement.
Even though her father was the deputy mayor of A city, their property was less than one-thousandth of Richards Group. Just thinking of this was enough to excite Aria. Moreover, Hansen was so talented and poised that any woman would fall for him.
"Well said, I really don't have to be afraid of her. It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing her. Look at that, she hired men to stand there, specifically to deal with me. As long as she is here, my life won't go well," Aria nodded and said sadly.
"Hey, Ms. McAdams, we must be patient. There's still a long way to go. Just bear with it for a little bit," Minnie reminded her gently.
"Alright then. Minnie, you bring the servants up to pack our things and move down. Hansen will be kicked out anyway. As long as he's with us, it doesn't matter if I stay on the first floor. I don't need to see Jenna's face too. My baby, you'd be happy to stay with your father, wouldn't you?" When Aria thought of Hansen being kicked out by that b*tch too, she felt extremely happy. Stroking her belly, her mood lightened a lot.
At this point, Minnie could only move downstairs. She looked up to see the men standing at the stairs, afraid that they would throw their things down at anytime.
She hurriedly brought Dahlia and a few servants along with her. It took them a while to pack their things before moving them down. When she reached the first floor, she groaned.
It turned out that the rooms on the first floor were usually unoccupied. The ones to the north were piled up with sundries. The ones to the south were not as bad, but they were only a few single or double bedrooms. The tiles on the floor were marble, unlike the second floor, which was covered with imported cashmere carpets. The rooms on the second floor were also luxuriously decorated and extremely comfortable.
Having to move all of a sudden from the warm second floor to the plain and cold first floor, Minnie complained angrily. Aria was fuming as well but she swallowed her wrath down!
After all, Hansen had to move here too!
As long as he was coming over, Aria had no objection.
After all, she would not see Jenna and Hansen was closer than ever to her.
Having looked at the rooms on the first floor carefully, Aria directed the servants to clean up the master bedroom in the middle and put her belongings in. She let Minnie live in the small room next to hers so that she could call her over at any time.
Marissa’s large bedroom was separated from the other rooms, located on the right side of the first floor, facing the south garden. The layout was warm and luxurious, a complete opposite from the rooms on the left. Marissa had gone out after breakfast for some unknown business.
After all the hard work, Dahlia and the others had cleaned up the whole floor. Aria did not want to move in. She laid lazily on the big sofa in the living room, thinking about how to deal with the predicament.
Suddenly, she saw Hansen storming down.
He strode toward the sofa with a terrible, stern expression.
Earlier on, he was forced out of Jenna's bedroom. All his belongings were thrown out like rags and the same happened to him. The corridors were full of his clothes. He was a clean freak. Seeing that his suits were then thrown in the corridor like trash, he was utterly insulted. Since he was a kid, no one in Richards Manor had dared to treat him this way except for Jenna.
In the five rooms upstairs, his belongings were the only ones left after Aria's things were cleared out. He did not want to move, hence Jenna threw everything to the corridor. He was so angry that he was about to explode with fury. If it were not for the affection and loving memories they had in the past, he would really take action against her.
Jenna was really stubborn with not an ounce of mercy.
It was hard to admit but he was indeed driven out of his room.
"Hansen." Aria noticed his furious face and she was in secret glee. Needless to say, Jenna had angered him. This was to Aria's advantage.
It served Jenna right for acting up, that b*tch!
As long as Hansen hated Jenna, Aria didn't mind if Jenna had the right to inherit Richards Manor!
Wouldn't it be easy to get rid of a divorced woman with so many people unhappy with her?
The time had come for Aria to win back Hansen's heart.
"Hansen, why be angry with that kind of woman? It's not worth it, it'll only affect your health. Isn't it just because Grandma Richards gave her the inheritance rights? Let's go talk to her and let her find a way to take it back," Aria said softly as she leaned toward him. Her hands stroked his back, gentle and soothing.
Hansen loosened his tie in exasperation. After taking a few huge gulps of water, his anger subsided.
He must have been really angry with Jenna as he could not calm down despite sitting still on the sofa.
Even as Aria held him and soothed him, he did not listen to a word she said. He did not notice that she was practically glued to him.
"Young Madam, do you really want to throw this down?" Larry's timid voice sounded from upstairs.
Hansen felt another headache forming and raised his head.
He saw Larry standing next by the corridor railing with a pile of his clothes. The two servants hired by Jenna each held a pile of things and lined up behind her. Meanwhile, the two bodyguards were standing expressionless with a threatening demeanor, protective and fierce.
What frustrated Hansen even more was that Jenna was standing by the railing too. She looked down at him with a chilling smirk.
At that instant, an ominous feeling grew in Hansen.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
