Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 435

"Jenna," he murmured. "I was just kidding. Don't worry, you and Jerry are very important to me. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will ensure that both of you live a happy and comfortable life. Trust me." He held her tightly.

"Alright." Jenna broke into a smile and hugged him tightly.

"What about you? What did you want to tell me?" He locked her in an embrace and whispered into her ears.

Looking abashed, Jenna smiled and said, "To be frank, it's exactly what I've said just now. Richards Group is such a successful business. You must protect it well. Don't you think about handing it over to me. I won't allow it."

"Is that all you want to say? It looks like you can read my mind. You do understand me well." Hansen grinned. "Don't worry, I promise you. You must promise me as well to be strong in the future no matter what happens. Is that okay for you?"

"Sure." Jenna agreed instantly. As long as he was by her side, she would be strong, no matter what happened. She was sure of this.

"That's great. Let's have dinner, honey." Hansen held her hand and they walked into the dining hall.

"Have some mushroom soup. The rest are almost done." Jenna filled his bowl with his favorite mushroom soup and said gently, "Come home earlier in the future. It's not good for your digestive system to have dinner so late."

"Yes, honey." Hansen gulped down the mushroom soup and agreed. However, Jenna knew that he was not being serious. He was mostly busy at work. There was no way he could return early to have dinner. She sighed. To achieve glory, there will always be sacrifices. In order to succeed, a person must bear the responsibilities.

To everyone's dismay, a disaster occurred.

Nobody had foreseen it.

Jenna was carefully reviewing the documents submitted by the respective departments in her office. Judging from the records, the company was developing well and it met her expectations.

When it was almost ten o'clock, she stood up, poured a glass of water for herself and slowly paced back and forth in the room.

Hansen had gone out to meet a potential client this morning. The other party was a shareholder of a big company. Hence, he had left early.

Ever since Jenna came to work, she was in charge of the company's internal affairs. This really saved Hansen a lot of trouble.

After gulping down a few glasses of water, Jenna looked out of the window as she absorbed the scenery.

Two years ago, she returned, intending to get revenge on Richards Group. However, things had changed. She was now Hansen's wife and they were madly in love. It truly surprised her how things turned out.

Back then, she loathed Hansen. Now, she could not take her mind off him. She was always concerned about his well- being, and her heart ached whenever he was exhausted or ravenous. It was peculiar indeed.

She learnt that even if a couple got into a misunderstanding the day before, it could always be resolved by the next day. This was true love and there was no logic behind it.

Thinking of Hansen put a smile on her face and she shook her head.

"Ms. Murphy, I have some bad news." Yuri dashed into the office. Jenna had never seen her in such a state of panic.

"What's the matter? Calm down." Jenna's heart sank. She frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Ms. Murphy, a group of people have gathered at the front desk and they demanded to see Hansen," Yuri said in a panic. "They took out their identity cards and showed the security guards when they enquired about their identities. It scared the wits out of the guards."

What?

Jenna's heart raced and she had a bad feeling about this. She asked right away, "Who are they?"

Just as Yuri was about to reply, the sound of hurried footsteps approached them. A cold and overbearing voice rang. "Where's Mr. Richards? Ask him to see us."

Yuri panicked when she heard what they said. Flustered, she cried, "This is bad. Ms. Murphy, it's them. They are here."

"Let's not jump to conclusions. Go and greet them. I'll be there in a second." Jenna forced herself to calm down as she instructed Yuri.

Yuri nodded and left the office right away.

"It's nice to meet you. Mr. Richards has gone out for a business meeting this morning and is currently not in his office. May I know why you wish to meet him?" Yuri came out of the office and asked politely.

"Who else can we talk to? Ask him or her to see us immediately." Someone interrupted and his demeanour was cold and overbearing, as if he was issuing a command.

"Oh, okay, sure, please wait a moment. I'll go and enquire about this." Yuri's voice trembled as she forced a smile.

Jenna stood by the door and heard every word of the conversation.

"Sergio, are you here to see Hansen?" She was feeling very uneasy but still kept her voice steady.

Sergio took a sip of the tea and cleared his throat as he tried his best to break the news as gently as he could. "Jenna, we have known each other for a long time. Let me be frank. Your company has been suspected to be involved in leaking out the nation's top secrets and we have found evidence to prove that this is true. Since this has involved the nation's top secrets, it is a matter of high importance. From today onwards, my team and I will intervene in the company's affairs and investigate this matter until we get to the bottom of the mystery."

As soon as Sergio finished his sentence, Jenna almost passed out from the shock. She was so flustered that she could barely breathe and almost fainted.

They were suspected of leaking the nation's top secrets.

It was a heavy offence. They were a multinational company. The charge would come as a blow to the company's development. It could ruin the company forever without any hope of regaining its reputation in the future.

Any company charged with this offence was as good as done for.

This offence would cost them everything. Someone really wanted to destroy the Richards Group.

How was it possible?

"No way. It's impossible." Jenna took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She said confidently with a solemn expression, "Sergio, there must be a mistake. We have always abided by the law and we had never done anything that went against our principles and integrity. We were never involved in the black market, let alone leaking out the nation's top secrets. What absolute nonsense. I can guarantee that this is a false accusation. Please return and investigate the matter again. You must understand how serious this is and this charge should not be meted out to a company so frivolously."

Her eyes were bright and as clear as day. She was very confident about it.

Sergio looked at her and sighed. Exasperated, he said, "Jenna, I don't believe it as well. However, we do not have a choice. This is the fact. We have already taken measures to prove your innocence, which is why Capital City has set up this investigation team to probe the matter further, so that we can get to the bottom of the mystery as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary losses. Richards Group is a big company. Everyone knows that. However, this is a matter of importance. I hope that you guys can understand that it ain't easy for us as well."

It was a reasonable explanation but Jenna still could not believe her ears. She found it impossible to believe.

"There's really no need to investigate the matter. I can guarantee that the Richards Group has never done anything that will harm the nation or its people. You don't need to be worried about this."

She was probably out of her mind. She stood up abruptly and spoke with confidence. However, in reality, she knew that the offence was not charged recklessly and she couldn't prove their innocence with just a few sentences. If that was the case, many people would not have failed to prove their innocence in the past. It looked like the Richards Group was ruined for good this time around.

"Ms. Murphy, we are all adults. Please don't be so childish. Even if you have every reason to prove your innocence and we trust you from the bottom of our hearts, this involves the nation. Evidence is everything. We did not come here on our own accord. Since we are here, there must have been some form of evidence. Please think carefully and cooperate with us." Another man warned. His tone was serious.

Devastated, Jenna felt light-headed and collapsed onto the couch.
