Chapter 29 Crazy Norton
“Hansen, yes, I did tell Mother, but it was because I was too worried about you. Hansen. Since that woman came to Richards Group, I feel like you don’t love me anymore, and you don’t care about me. I’m scared that that woman would take you away from me, I’m even more afraid that she would have bad intentions to destroy our company. After all, Mother is wiser than us. I didn’t say it on purpose. Hansen, believe me, forgive me, I did all this for the sake of Richards Group.”
Aria nestled into Hansen’s arms with tears in her face. She looked like an innocent little girl, her eyes filled with grief.
Even though Hansen was very stubborn, he was still touched by a woman’s tears. The anger in his heart suddenly disappeared and his hand instinctively patted her back.
What he felt beneath his hands was just skin and bones. Indeed, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently. She was no longer as curvy as she was before.
Still, a woman like this was more feminine. She was passionate and knew when to act coquettishly instead of pretending she was capable of everything in front of men. Even if she made a small mistake, men would still forgive her.
Jenna’s indifferent face and her cold eyes, full of hostility appeared in front of him. He could not help but sigh in his heart. Jenna was not like Aria at all.
Did she have to be as cold as ice? Even if a man was interested in her, he would be put off by her coldness.
He was unsure. As he would be marrying Aria, they were going to be together for the rest of their lives, therefore he should trust her more and be more tolerant of her.
His face softened, but right before his eyes, the image of Jenna smiling brightly at Rayan appeared, and a faint anger rose in his heart. No, she only treated him coldly, and all her hostility was only for him.
He decided that there was still no fate between them after all!
“Don’t worry, Aria. She is just a designer I hired. Our company needs her. For now, only if we can suppress the Whalen Group, then our luxury cars will be able to do well. You know that real estate is no longer being sought-after, luxury cars are going to be the trend. We can’t let go of this opportunity,” Hansen seemed to be comforting her, but it felt like he was comforting himself.
The warmth from his palm passed to Aria’s body making her feel cozy and comfortable. Aria was overjoyed as she smiled. It seemed that all the grievances she felt had disappeared.
It seemed that it was the right move to bring Marissa here. She had gained a complete victory in this match.
At least Hansen was willing to tell her what he had in mind, and he also personally agreed to their marriage. Their relationship had moved to the next step.
“But, Hansen, that woman doesn’t have the capability. You’ve heard it. She designed that model because she was lucky. She doesn’t have the ability to design at all. She admitted it herself!” Even though Aria felt happy with Hansen, she still mentioned it because she was upset that Jenna was still around.
“Even if she really can’t do anything, I still want to put her in Richards Group for a while. As long as she doesn’t go back to Whalen Group, it will be beneficial to our company,” Hansen touched her face and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Aria blinked her eyes and was finally satisfied. She kissed him on the lips sweetly and smiled charmingly. She stretched her slender neck around his neck and whispered in his ear, “Hansen, I know now. I won’t be jealous anymore.”
For a whole day, Jenna was anxious. She did not see Hansen, nor did anyone come looking for her. The farce that happened in the morning ended just like that.
She didn’t know what Hansen would do to her, but she didn’t care.
The sun was going down and there was a slight breeze. The autumn of A city seemed to have started earlier than usual.
The dull sound of high heels stepping on the floor sounded in the parking lot. Jenna carried a delicate little bag, her moderate-length dress wrapped her buttocks and her slender waist, sculpting her slim physique and enhancing her curvy body shape.
“Jenna.” A shadow came out from one side. The dim light of the basement illuminated the man’s straight body. There was a vague and strange expression on the man’s face. His tall nose shrouded part of his face in the shadow.
“Norton Richards,” Jenna exclaimed in surprise and stopped walking. She looked around and fear rose in her heart.
“Norton, what’s the matter?” She took a few steps back and asked flatly. She did not feel comfortable with the situation and wanted to leave quickly.
Norton looked at the calm and indifferent Jenna, and there was a strange expression on his face.
“Jenna, you’ve been in the Richards family for four years, and you’ve already divorced Hansen, haven’t you?” Norton stared at her intently, not letting any expression of hers escape him.
“Yes.” Jenna did not hide her feelings and admitted frankly. She wanted to hide as far as she could from him. She did not want to be entangled with him too much. She had never loved him before, and she never would.
“But, these years, the Richards family has treated you badly, especially that b*stard, Hansen. He never treated you as his wife. He is overbearing and arrogant. Why did you come back? Why didn’t you come to me? You know I’ve always liked you.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Norton was being overbearing. He looked gentle on the outside, but inside, he had a fierce aura. It caused Jenna to take a few steps back. She felt a dangerous and odd feeling in her heart and she wanted to escape.
“So… What do you think I should do?” Jenna clenched the bag in her hand and asked coldly, “Don’t forget, you’re now the head of the Ministry of Finance, you’re a government official. Don’t ruin your career because of a small mistake.”
“Leave him, leave Richards Group, and come to me. Trust me, I’ll give you happiness.” Norton advanced step by step, coming closer and closer to her.
Jenna retreated again, but she said in a serious tone.
“Norton, I’m your sister-in-law. It’s not good for you to talk like this.”
“Sister-in-law? Go to hell!” Norton spat fiercely, the gentle side of him disappeared. His body suddenly trembled, his fists clenched, and fire was burning in his eyes. He was jealous and angry!
“That’s because Grandma was biased. She gave you to him. You should have been mine. I mentioned you in front of her, but she was old and confused, that was why she gave you to him. He didn’t deserve your love at all. He didn’t deserve you.”
The more he spoke, the more indignant he became. He suddenly grabbed Jenna’s hand and said in a mad tone, “Jenna, I’m the only one who loves you. I thought about you every night when you were not in the Richards family, and I went abroad to look for you, but I couldn’t find you. Now that you’re back and divorced, we can be together openly. Don’t come to the Richards Group again. I’ve seen what happened this morning. Hansen will marry Aria soon. You two don’t stand a chance anymore.”
The muscles on his body stiffened. He held Jenna’s hand tightly, and his eyes turned red. Jenna suddenly felt that the basement was so quiet that she hated it. She didn’t like this feeling.
A whiff of custom-made French cologne hit Jenna. Jenna’s heart trembled, she felt chills all over her body. The inexplicable horrible feeling from the past rushed at her and her face turned pale instantly.
“Jenna, I’ll treat you well. Trust me.” Norton’s hand stroked Jenna’s beautiful hair. His voice was deep and he looked like he was enjoying himself.
“Let me go.” Jenna was frightened by Norton’s infatuated expression.
She stayed at the Richards Group mansion for a year. Every time she saw Norton, he would be in a suit and in his leather shoes, looking like a gentleman. When he was in University, he always looked at her passionately. However, wasn’t it the same for every man who went through puberty? As long as he wasn’t doing anything over the top, he was still considered normal.
Moreover, ever since she married Hansen, he had completely ignored her.
But Jenna was terrified by what Norton looked like today. It was not love, but some kind of possessiveness. Had he already gone astray? Or…
“Jenna, let’s go. I’ll take you to a place.” Norton’s face was full of excitement and his face was flushed as he dragged her away.
“No, I don’t want to go.” Jenna’s heart was full of fear.
What she experienced during university a few years ago suddenly appeared in front of her. It felt like time went back, and the feeling of fear was so similar.
She was weak though, how could she go against Norton who was taller and stronger than she was? He held her tightly and dragged her to the front of the car.
“Let me go,” Jenna cried out anxiously. Her high heels were dragging on the ground, and she lost her stability. Her ankle was twisted. Her palm and ankle hurt so much that her face turned pale.
She fell to the ground and tried her best to struggle.
In a fit of panic, Norton’s large hand reached out for her waist and he lifted her to carry her away.
Jenna was so anxious that she kept fluttering her hands and feet. Her face was flushed from her fear.
“Let her go,” a low and angry voice broke through the air and made a rumbling sound in the dim basement.
Jenna was relieved to see that Hansen was there.
Norton’s body trembled and his whole body froze. Before he could react, the sound of a punch was heard. He received a hard punch to his face and he fell to the ground. His brain instantly sobered up.
Hansen was standing in front of them. His face was dark and his eyes were like sharp arrows, which gave Norton chills all over!
“Ouch!” Jenna fell to the ground and landed on her butt.
“Norton, what are you doing?” Hansen’s body moved toward him like a beacon, and his eyes were fierce.
He was very clear about what his cousin was trying to do. The memories came back to his mind and the light in his eyes was even fiercer. If he didn’t guess it incorrectly, it was Norton whom he saw on that night at school.
Even if he didn’t love Jenna, this woman still married him. Her chastity was given to this animal in front of him, which ruined his pride as a man. Moreover, it was in the Richards Group mansion. He had wanted to get his revenge a long time ago.
