Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 256

"Who's there?" Aria asked loudly.

"Ward rounds." A nurse's voice rang from outside.

"I will take my leave then," Jenna said curtly as she turned around.

"You'd better keep your word," Aria stared at Jenna's back and said without a smile.

Jenna felt a lump in her throat as tears welled up in her eyes. An inexplicable grief rose from the bottom of her heart.

With a knock on the door, a young male doctor clad in a white coat walked in. He met face-to-face with Jenna.

With just a glance, she recognized the young male doctor in front of her. The last time she came to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital...

It was the same male gynecologist who treated her.

She was appalled as embarrassment flashed across her face. She then left the scene in a hurry with her head lowered.

Donald glanced at her stoically. His expression was calm and deep but his gaze wavered right at that moment. A slight astonishment flashed across his face and vanished almost instantly as he managed to keep his cool.

As soon as Jenna left, Georgia walked in anxiously. After inquiring about Aria's physical condition in detail since Donald was there, she heaved a sigh of relief as her mood calmed down.

"Donald, thank you for your time." Aria was delighted. Her smile was exceptionally bright as she chirped.

"Was that girl who just went out your friend?" Donald, who was about to go out, turned his head around abruptly and asked Aria who was smiling at him in a casual manner.

The smile on Aria's face froze for a slight moment. She shook her head, then nodded again.

"Do you know her, Donald?" Aria asked.

"I don't." Donald smiled and shook his head.

"Perhaps you've fallen in love with her?" Aria asked with a charming smile as she continued, "She is indeed a beauty. If you're interested in her, I can help you in matchmaking."

Aria chuckled lightly as she said relaxedly.

Donald pursed his lips and said halfheartedly, "Miss McAdams, you must be kidding me."

Upon ending the conversation, he walked out unhurriedly.

"Aria, what did that b*tch say to you?" Georgia asked impatiently as soon as Donald left.

"It was nothing, Mom. Don't worry, because now I'm sure everything will go smoothly for us," Aria said gleefully.

"How come?" Georgia asked skeptically as she looked at Aria with puzzlement.

Aria excitedly recounted her conversation with Jenna earlier on to her.

Upon hearing the entire story, Georgia felt even more suspicious. "Aria, are you sure she can do it?"

"It should be possible." Aria nodded affirmatively as she continued, "Regardless of where she could or not, it is good news for me anyway. Without losing anything to her, I can inherit Richards Manor as well. This is great news! It's useless no matter how Dad threatens them if Jenna doesn't take the initiative to leave as it wouldn't change Hansen's mind. Only if she cooperates with us can we succeed."

Upon hearing this, Georgia nodded in agreement. With contentment on her face, her mood was better than ever.

As New Year was approaching, the streets of A city were surrounded by a jolly and festive ambiance. Festive items were placed on sale as peace and joy could be felt anywhere on the streets. Everything was imbued with a sense of joy as a new year was nearing.

Richards Group carried out their regular meetings and year-end summary meetings in an efficient and orderly manner.

After immersing himself with work for a few days in the company, Hansen could finally relax.

After scrolling his phone for a short moment, his ringtone rang as the name 'Jordan' was displayed on the screen. His gaze wavered and he quickly picked up the call.

"Mr. Richards, after some time of investigation, the secret behind Javon's case has been unveiled. Some useful clues have finally been discovered," Jordan said firmly over the phone. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Great, please wait for me, I'll be there soon." As soon as Jordan's words were heard, Hansen stood up immediately and replied without a second thought. After ending the call, he walked to the parking lot with large strides and started his car immediately, driving straight towards the Public Security

Department.

"Mr. Richards, take a seat please," Jordan said politely to Hansen who rushed over.

Right after Hansen sat down, he immediately asked, "Mr. Jordan, have you found any exact evidence? Please talk about it in detail."

Sensing Hansen's urgent attitude, Jordan felt pressured as well. Usually, Hansen would never be seen anywhere; only his ex-wife's case could make him so concerned.

"Mr. Richards, in fact, the evidence has not been obtained yet. However, something suspicious caught our attention," Jordan said solemnly. He reached out for a notebook, flipped it open, and laid it on the table. Pointing on one of the lines, he stated grimly, "Mr. Richards, as you can see here, a financial expenditure of hundreds of billions incurred back when Javon was holding his post before the car accident. However, the whereabouts of this huge sum of money is now unknown. Currently, the listings in the accounts are all fake."

What?

Hansen's mouth went agape with shock as he heard the news. He was unable to come back to his senses for quite some time. Staring straight into Jordan's eyes, he asked, "Mr. Jordan, is it possible that Javon was involved in some form of economic crime? I don't think this is possible, though. As far as I know, his reputation has always been very good."

"Of course, I think so too. However, the transaction of this huge sum of money was indeed done when he held office. The date the fake account was made was also shortly before his car accident. What's even more strange is that there was his signature on it. If that was the case, things would be very complicated."

"Where did this come from?" Hansen frowned as he asked. He didn't quite believe it.

"Mr. Richards, this was discovered by the audit department during their process of checking the accounts the day before yesterday. This economic case carries a huge impact as it is almost half of the economic income of A city. However, this huge sum of money has vanished inexplicably during

Javon's tenure as minister. We can be quite certain that Javon would know the whereabouts of this sum of money and that his sudden death is likely to have a lot to do with the money. According to the people in Javon's workplace, he was very depressed and taciturn before his death," Jordan told Hansen in detail about their findings over the past few days.

Upon hearing the news, Hansen was extremely stupefied and overwhelmed. If Javon's case was in fact related to this huge sum of money, then it was clear that Javon was murdered. As for the reason he was killed, it could be that they wanted to conceal the truth, or it could be because he was unwilling to cooperate with them and they saw him as bothersome. In short, Norton had been used.

Who would be able to know Norton so well to the point that they were able to understand his mind and take advantage of him so precisely? They have successfully shifted everyone's focus and the blame was placed on the Richards Group as well. This was really terrifying.

"Mr. Richards, don't worry. Now that this huge sum of money is the tax revenue of the entire city, all of the relevant people have been brought for trial. No matter how big of a conspiracy there was behind it, it would be debunked. I'm afraid that this issue involves well- known and reputable people, and now that it has alarmed the superiors, it would not be dismissed easily. However, everything will not be settled so soon as all efforts are still happening in secret for the time being. Not many people know about it, including Norton. Therefore, it is best to not disclose anything for the time being to prevent causing too much of a stir," Jordan reminded Hansen while comforting him.

"I understand." Of course, Hansen understood what he meant. He nodded solemnly immediately.

"I really didn't expect this case to be so complicated. It was beyond my expectations." Jordan sighed and laughed in a self-deprecating manner. Regardless of how sharp-minded and intelligent he was, he was not able to find out the person working for Norton, and this complicated situation was causing him a headache. Now that New Year was approaching, he just wanted to put this case

to an end soon. The situation as of now may not seem as simple as he thought but this case has already caught his interest.

"Mr. Jordan, even if you'd found out that the real culprit behind Javon's case, please cooperate with us well. This matter caused a great impact, therefore we can't let our guard down," Hansen felt uneasy as he exhorted him repeatedly. His expression seemed very stern as his attitude was very cautious as well.

"Don't worry." Jordan burst into laughter suddenly as he saw his concerned expression. He then handed him a cigarette and said, "Mr. Richards, Mr. Matthews is now cracking down on Brock. I believe after a few attempts, the truth would be revealed very soon."

Hansen furrowed his eyebrows slightly and waved his hand as he said, "Thank you, but I have quit smoking."

Quit smoking? Jordan was startled for a moment. He still saw him exhaling clouds of smoke some time ago. Now that he said he quit, had he quitted just so easily? That definitely required very strong perseverance.

Seeing Jordan's puzzled face, Hansen pressed his lips together. However, he didn't bother to explain anything.

This time, he was determined to quit smoking completely.

Back when he was in Los Angeles, he had already decided to listen to Jenna and quit smoking but the series of troubles that Aria's pregnancy brought about made him feel like relying on cigarettes to relieve his sorrows. However, after recovering from his injury in the hospital, his rekindled love with Jenna made him determined to quit smoking.

Jenna didn't like the smell of smoke on him. Therefore, he wanted to provide her with only the best to please her.

However, his heart became more anxious.

It was exactly because Christopher was cracking down the drug barons that prevented his actions and he felt even more worried about Brock's safety at that moment. If Javon's death was in fact related to such a huge sum of money, would the people who planned to murder him kill Brock as well?

This was what Hansen was most worried about at that moment.

If Brock died, many truths might be buried deep down forever along with his death.

It was a well-planned scheme and it was the best excuse to put the blame on someone else as well. First of all, they sensed Norton's strong desire to take office as the director and knew well that Norton would make an effort to prevent Javon from arriving at the election site. They took advantage of the opportunity to control Brock and made him create a car accident scene where Norton knocked Javon over. Then, they mastered Brock's whereabouts clearly and cleverly hid the issue from the news media, allowing the matter to be simply forgotten over time.

Norton's guilty conscience and his intention to cover up the news from the media made sense to everyone's logic. Therefore, the people behind all of this raised the game and helped further suppress the news as well.

Therefore, Javon's car accident tragedy was just left to be forgotten just like that and it was not until Hansen's intervention that Norton was exposed.

However, this matter was still developing and Hansen truly believed that Jenna would get the justice she deserved.

It was just that there may be something in Javon's case that Jenna could not accept and he was clueless whether it may happen or not as well.

If Javon had in fact laid his hands on this huge crime before the car accident, it was very likely that he was either threatened to some extent and had to do something against his will, or that he could not avoid it at all. After all, he was just the Minister of Finance. If it was an order from his superiors, he could not help it at all. Of course, he could also be killed if he refused to commit such violations.

Either way, it would be a cruel blow to Jenna.

As Hansen thought of this, he couldn't feel at ease. In the future, how could he make Jenna accept her father's cause of death?

When the truth was revealed, although Norton would still be involved, the crime he convicted would be reduced largely. Nonetheless, this was good news to the Richards family for Norton could still at least live.
