Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 219

As Aria returned to her bedroom, Minnie saw her fuming. Her face was reddened and her eyebrows were furrowed. She hurriedly comforted, "Ms. McAdams, please calm down. That woman is too clever with her schemes, we can't fight against her at all." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"The d*mned old woman is always against me on everything!" Aria gritted her teeth and cursed.

"Ms. McAdams, why don't you use your father's power to show them a taste of their own medicine? Don't let them look down on you," Minnie suggested bitterly.

Aria stared around with a fierce gaze.

Richards Manor had a long history and a strong foundation, even Earl could not lay his hands on it. The only hope left was Camphor Tree Villa but Hansen did not care about it. Ever since his application for it to be an environmental protection zone was rejected by Earl, there was no news about it. Hansen never mentioned it again.

Currently, Camphor Tree Villa was as if it was completely abandoned and Hansen seemed to have forgotten about it.

Aria paced back and forth in the room while a storm was cooking up in her mind.

"Minnie, do you know what medicines Grandma Richards takes every day?" Aria asked with an eerie smile.

Minnie raised her head and looked at Aria, not understanding where this came from.

Aria chuckled, raising an eyebrow as she parted her lips to say, "She has serious heart disease and has to rely on medicines every day. There must be a person who is responsible for preparing medicines for her. That'll lead us to Meroy. Think about it, if Vivian doesn't take her medications one day and dies due to an accident, isn't this a good ending for her?" she said in a low voice.

What? Minnie was in shock and her heart beat wildly.

"Ms. McAdams, you, what do you mean?" she stammered.

"What do you think?" Aria replied with her lips curled up slightly.

"I..." Minnie came back to her senses and she realized something. Her expression looked terrible and her tongue froze. She could not speak.

What Aria meant was obvious, that was to kill Vivian!

Minnie felt the chills by that mere thought. This was a matter of life and death!

Although she was greedy for money and loved to take advantage of people, she would never dare to involve herself in murder.

"Ms. McAdams, you also know that Vivian is already old, so maybe there are not many days left for her. Our focus should be on that b*tch, Jenna. There's really no need to take the risk on Vivian. Besides, Ink Garden is heavily guarded, ordinary people can’t get in at all. I think it's better if we think about how to drive Jenna away instead," Minnie persuaded in fear. She would never agree to do that and risk her life for Aria.

"No, you're wrong," Aria said in a straightforward manner. "Grandma Richards is the root of this matter and everything is her fault. Even if Jenna is driven away, she won't hand over these things to me. Look at Marissa, she has stayed in Richards Manor all her life and she is the daughter- in- law of the Richards family for so many years. But, one word from Grandma Richards and she didn't get anything. Isn't it obvious? I'm going to give birth soon. I can't wait for her to die on her own. These past weeks, she has given that woman the inheritance and ownership of Richards Manor. She did this on purpose for me to give up and leave Richards Group. I'm not a fool, how can I not know her thoughts? She's too stubborn. She should have died long ago," Aria said furiously.

Wasn't it because Jenna had Vivian behind her back that she could be so bold in Richards Manor? Without Vivian, she would be nothing.

"But think about it, if Jenna leaves, even if Vivian wants to give the inheritance to her, she'll have no way to do so, right?" Minnie did not back down and gave her opinion. In fact, she did not hate Vivian. She hated Jenna the most. She hated that Jenna was better than her in everything and that she drove Minnie out of Richards Group.

"No. Even after Jenna is gone, she won't hand them over to me. She'll definitely find another woman she approves of, and then give them to her. She has the right to do so and no one can change that. Only when she's dead will she not be able to do anything," Aria remarked gloomily.

Dead? Minnie shuddered, her eyes full of fright. She spoke meekly, "Even if Vivian... ended up like that, we can't take back what she gave Jenna. Only when Jenna is gone, her rights will be useless and you can live as you please."

In any case, Minnie did not dare to hurt Vivian. She just wanted to see Jenna fail and be helpless.

"No, if Grandma Richards is gone, no one can stop Hansen from marrying me. As long as I become the Young Madam of the Richards family, I will certainly have a way to get rid of that b*tch. These few months are the most crucial, I have to kill her now. As long as she's gone, the things in Jenna's hands can be taken back slowly. Then, I can deal with her once and for all," Aria stated decisively.

Minnie gaped at Aria in terror. She took a step back when Aria gave her a sinister stare.

"Didn't you say that you want to serve me? Now is your chance. How about it? Do what I say. After it's done, I will not break my promise. I'll make you a rich woman in A city." Aria stared at Minnie as she brushed her fingers through her wavy hair, grinning.

The horror in Minnie's eyes intensified as if Aria had placed a sharp knife on her neck and was going to slit her throat anytime. She could not say anything except for shaking her head furiously.

An evil smile slipped across Aria's face. She pursed her lips together and smiled brightly.

Minnie looked at her bloody, red lips and felt chills running down her spine.

"Ms. McAdams, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You know that it's impossible to get into Ink Garden without permission and I'm not good at this. I can do any other thing for you but for this, I think you'll have to find someone else," she faked a smile and rejected with her words cautiously selected. Her expression was terrible, she wanted to smile but could not.

She was no idiot, she knew that this was a crime. It was not worth it to get involved for Aria’s sake.

"Hmph." Aria sneered at her and said coldly, "So, you don't want to help me anymore?"

Her face turned icy and her stern glare shot Minnie like an unforgiving arrow.

Minnie paled immediately. She murmured weakly and began to tremble.

"I'll be honest. You're going to do it even if you don't want to. It's not your choice to make." Aria's cruel and vicious voice pierced Minnie's heart like an ax, so scary that Minnie squinted her eyes. She lowered her head but was still unwilling to work for Aria. She could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Ms. McAdams, of course I'm glad to serve you but I can't do this, I'm not capable of it."

"You can. In fact, anyone can. It depends on whether you want to do it." Aria did not give her any leeway and continued, "Just to let you know, Julian, Grandma's servant in Ink Garden, is on our side. As long as you go, she'll help you."

Minnie did not expect Aria to have had this plan from the start. Her eyes widened in shock, utterly stunned.

Aria shot her a glance, her expression calm. She walked to a safe, keyed in the password, and took out a stack of receipts. She waved it in her hands while smiling. "Minnie, do you know what these are?"

"What?" An ominous feeling crept upon Minnie. It was a thick pile of paper. She immediately figured that it was her expense and reimbursement receipts when she was Aria's agent. Petrifying thoughts flashed across her mind and her face was as pale as the papers.

"These are all the expenses and reimbursement vouchers you faked while you were with me. Don't assume I had no idea. Do you know how much money these are?" Aria questioned with a fake smile.

"How much?" Minnie asked tremblingly. Her body began to numb, even her blood was almost freezing.

Aria gave a friendly smile and raised her shining eyes before sitting down on the sofa. She crossed her legs and spoke leisurely, "You don't even remember how much were they? It looks like money came quite easily for you. Look, these are all your autographs when you asked me for reimbursements. I have kept all the evidence, only to use them when you disobey me. You faked quite a lot of invoices. For some, you just filled it with a random name. Don’t think that I knew nothing. The reason why I have not exposed you is to give you a chance to pay me back. If I need your help in the future, I hope you know what to do. As for now, this is such a crucial moment but you are so ungrateful and chickened out. You're a disloyal, filthy one indeed. Fortunately, I kept this evidence."

Aria spat her insults at Minnie, her words full of sarcasm. She laughed when she saw Minnie stupefied.

Minnie's face lost all its color. She finally realized that Aria was not as dumb and easy to please as she had imagined. She had fallen into quicksand, unable to escape.

"Five million," Aria said word by word, her gaze aggressive and intimidating. After speaking, she stood up slowly and walked forward to Minnie. With one hand touching Minnie's cold cheek, she spoke in delight, "Minnie, tell me, what will happen to a person who embezzled five million dollars? Would they need to stay in prison for life?"

Her voice was gentle and inviting but she was no less than a demon in Minnie's eyes, destroying her completely.

"Ms. McAdams, I was wrong, please let me go," Minnie begged Aria with a trembling voice. Her whole body was shaking as she was pushed to the point of ultimate fear.
