Chapter 294
"Are you sure Hansen will make Jenna come and apologize to me?" Aria was wearing a blue dress, looking exquisite and alluring. That beautiful gown only earned a morning's worth of attention before it was destroyed, and Aria was very angry and gloomy about it. If Hansen couldn't deal with this well, she would seize this opportunity to get rid of all the people who were against her. She planned to use her father's help to pressure Hansen into chasing those women out of Richards Manor and take charge of the household affairs herself.
"Ms. McAdams, Mayor McAdams called Hansen over and told him about that had happened, and Hansen promised that he'd give you a satisfactory solution. Just now, it was so interesting in the office, it was a pity that you weren't there to watch, Ms. McAdams. Mr. Richards' face was full of rage, and he scolded Sabrina and Zoey so badly that they cried. He also promised that he would make Jenna come apologize to you." Minnie said happily.
Just as she was speaking, they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Aria asked loudly.
"It's me, Jenna." Jenna bore a face full of disgust and answered firmly and clearly.
Aria and Minnie looked at each other and smiled, a sense of pride rose from the bottom of their hearts. Hansen was finally taking their side.
"What's the matter?" she gave Minnie a glance, and Minnie asked loudly on purpose, without the intention of opening the door for her. There were many people walking around outside, and she wanted to embarrass her. She wanted her to know that if she were to continue staying in Richards Manor, she would face severe consequences.
"I'm here to apologize." Jenna understood what Aria was trying to do. She was obviously attempting to make her feel uneasy and humiliated, but she gritted her teeth and shouted loudly instead.
The door opened with a 'whoosh', and Minnie appeared in front of her with an arrogant face.
"Who are you here to apologize to?" she asked in disdain. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"To Aria McAdams," Jenna replied coldly.
"What is that attitude? Since you're here to apologize, you should be sincere. You wouldn't even address her as Mrs. Richards, and now you're trying to unleash your temper on us?" Minnie purposely yelled with a face full of hatred.
Jenna's fingers tightened around the hem of her dress. The uneasiness on her face couldn't be concealed, but she remained calm and said," Alright, is Mrs. Richards here?"
"Hmph." Minnie snorted coldly. "Wait here. I'll report to her about your arrival."
After she was done speaking, Minnie gave her an enchanting smile, and then walked back into the room slowly. Then, she whispered to Aria for a while, and they joyfully smiled at each other. After some time, she finally walked to the entrance and asked haughtily, "Mrs. Richards would like me to ask you. How do you plan on apologizing?"
How do I plan on apologizing? Jenna's heart dropped. Was Aria going to do her best to torture her?
"An apology is an apology. What else do you want?" Jenna asked as she repeatedly let go of the hem of the shirt and clenched her fist.
"Haha, you're so funny. If I punch you in the face and only say 'sorry', do you think this will be over?" Minnie asked coldly, as she touched her face that had just been slapped, and her stomach that had just been kicked. Thinking of her experience just now, flames of anger raged in her heart.
"So, you want to hit me back?" Jenna couldn't bear it, and asked harshly.
"What do you think? Don't you think that we should hit you back?" Minnie said aggressively.
At that moment, guests started to gather around to see what was going on. Jenna's face was full of embarrassment. It was too much, and she really wanted to turn around and leave. She glared at Minnie angrily and gritted her teeth so hard that her lips turned pale.
"Of course, you can choose whether or not you want to accept it, it doesn't matter. Mrs. Richards said that the pain I went through today wasn't going to be in vain. If you leave, I'll hit Zoey instead, and then we'll chase the two of them out of Richards Manor," Minnie said with an unbothered tone, as if she was able to read Jenna's mind.
"You..." Jenna felt her blood rush to her brain. Everything went black all of a sudden, and she lost her balance and almost fell.
"Listen well everyone, it's not that I want to bully her. She ordered someone to slap me in the face and kick me in the stomach today in the Ink Garden. They destroyed Mrs. Richards' gown as well. Mrs. Richards is generous and forgiving, so she was going to forget about the gown, but I was beaten up by them. Right here, I will forgive and forget about the slap on my face, but they kicked me hard in my stomach as well and I cannot forgive that. I don't have any other requests. I only want to kick her back in the stomach. You can all be my witnesses. I'm not forcing her to do anything, in case you think I'm bullying her. If she is willing to let me kick her, then everything will be forgiven after that. If she is reluctant, then we'll have to use some other way to obtain justice," Minnie said frankly to all the people around them.
The onlookers didn't know what really happened, and thought that whatever Minnie had said made sense. So, they only stood and watched without saying anything. Everyone knew that Aria was the daughter of Mayor McAdams and soon-to-be the young madam of Richards Manor. So they definitely didn't dare to object. The crowd stood there quietly, and stayed silent.
Jenna felt cold all over her body. She finally saw how vicious this woman was. She had already heard from Sabrina that Minnie and Aria knew about her pregnancy. So, Minnie's request to kick her in the stomach was obviously to hurt her baby. For a woman to have such an evil thought, she was terrible.
She already agreed to give everything to her, and to withdraw from the relationship. She even made a false impression on Hansen just so that he would forget about her. She fulfilled all her promises, yet Aria still wanted to harm her baby. Her monstrosity was on another level.
So far only Hansen, Rayan, and Sabrina knew about her pregnancy. However, judging by the current situation, it was impossible for Rayan and Sabrina to have told her. Could it be Hansen who told her?
Thinking of this, she felt even colder. Would he be that ruthless? Forcing her to apologize to them. Was he trying to get rid of her child through them? The thought made her feel faint again, and she couldn't say a word.
She would rather believe that he would never do that. They were once so deeply in love, and he loved her resolutely.
This must be Aria's vicious scheme, she thought.
But she was the mother of her child. She could never let that happen. Minnie was starting to get aggressive.
"Well, are you willing or not? If you are, I'll start kicking." She stared at her belly with a wicked smile, and her leg made a kicking gesture.
Jenna quickly covered her belly with her hands. She panicked in her heart, and fear filled her eyes.
"You can try if you're not afraid of death." A cold shout rang, and everyone turned their heads to look.
Hannah stood outside with an expression full of rage. Her arms were crossed and she glared at Minnie with her fiery eyes.
Jenna let out a sigh of relief.
Hannah had been surrounded by many handsome men, but she never forgot about Jenna. When she heard that there was a fight going on, she ran out to take a look and saw Hansen led some of them somewhere. She no longer had the mood to flirt with guys as she wanted to get to Jenna and ask her about what had happened.
She knew about Jenna's status within the Richards family, and she could see that Aria's arrogance was more than she could imagine. She was worried that Jenna would be taken advantage of, so she tried to find her. The minute she saw the crowd and walked close to it, she heard Minnie say that she wanted to kick Jenna.
Jenna was pregnant. If she really were to kick her stomach, the consequences would be horrible.
She didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and immediately shouted at them.
"Oh, there's another one who does not fear death," Minnie said haughtily and sneered as she didn't know who Hannah was.
"Oh really? I don't even know how to spell death." Hannah waded through the crowd and stood in front of Jenna. She smiled proudly, pointed at Minnie, and said in disdain, "Talking to a trashy woman like you is really ruining my reputation. I never realize that you're not only barbaric, but also immensely vicious. She's your cousin, and she used to treat you so well. Besides, even if she were an unknown woman, it's unconscionable to treat her so cruelly as well."
Hannah said as she rolled up her sleeves, "Come on, come kick me if you want. We'll have a duel and see who's stronger."
Hannah had always been a fearless and prideful woman. She had been displeased with a superficial and ignorant woman like Minnie for a long time, and wanted to teach her a lesson. That incident gave her the perfect opportunity, so she rubbed her palms together, waiting for her attack.
Minnie saw that she was about to be attacked by another woman, and the scene of her being beaten up before flashed in her mind. She started to feel afraid, but remembered that she had the support of Earl and Hansen, so she had nothing to be afraid of. The thought of it made her courage return, and she glared and bickered with Hannah again.
The two women glared at each other, and a fight was on the verge of breaking out.
"What are all of you doing here?" A cold and stern voice sounded from outside. The crowd was prepared to watch some drama, but was startled by the sound and turned around, only to see Hansen standing outside with a sullen face.
Hansen was worried about Jenna apologizing to Aria, so he came as soon as Alvin left. He initially only wanted Jenna to apologize so that the situation would be sorted out, but he didn't expect the situation to get worse, and this time it involved Hannah.
This woman was Hansen's biggest headache. He had some control over Sabrina and Zoey, but he couldn't do anything about Hannah. Every time he faced her, he felt unusually unconfident and guilty. He didn't know why, perhaps it was because Hannah never regarded him as someone important.
"Mr. Richards, not only did she not apologize, she had a bad attitude as well," Minnie said hatefully as she pointed to Jenna. She was pleased to see Hansen arrive at the scene.
"Is that so?" Hansen's gloomy face turned to Jenna. She stood there coldly with her hands protecting her stomach, boldly returning his gaze. The frostiness in her eyes made him afraid.
Hansen was slightly taken aback, but then gave her a brief look and turned around with an expressionless face.
