Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 449

"I'm sorry, Rayan. I understand that you have your concerns. I will not bother you anymore." Jenna gave him a knowing smile. She understood his concerns and was about to leave.

"Jen, it doesn't seem right if I were to make you pay for the system. How about this? I'll give you the system for free." Just as Jenna was about to leave, Rayan's voice rang, announcing the good news.

"Really?" Jenna turned around and asked in surprise.

"Of course, I'm doing this for your sake. Hansen is so lucky to have you." Rayan smiled and said grudgingly.

Jenna's eyes welled with tears.

"Are you planning to have a fresh start?" Rayan looked at her and asked with a smile.

He knew very well what was on her mind. In fact, he figured out her intentions right away when she called him and wanted to meet him.

"Rayan, to be honest, the luxury cars produced by the company have no value anymore. Even if we manage to find evidence to prove our innocence, it will be difficult to introduce the cars into the market again. We are forced to make some changes and start all over. However, I believe that with our skills and your system, we will be able to achieve our goals," Jenna said with a heavy heart.

Rayan nodded. He stared ahead and complimented her.

"Jen, I'm so jealous of Hansen. He has all your love. What a blessing!"

There was a hint of envy in his voice and he looked pretty dejected.

Jenna sighed. "Rayan, don't pull my leg anymore."

"No, I'm not teasing you. I have noticed your potential right from the start. Alas, I was too late." He chided himself in a self-deprecating tone.

Jenna was filled with anguish when she heard what he said. If she had met Rayan first when she was just a kid, she might have fallen in love with him. After all, he was a remarkable man. If that was the case, she might have lived a much better life.

However, this was her fate.

"Rayan, Hannah is far better than me. You are so lucky to be able to marry her. Everyone has their own path in life. We have our own destinies. People come and go. Hence, we should appreciate those who are still by our side. That's what we should focus on," Jenna said impassionedly. She thought of Hannah and a slow smile worked its way across her face and into her eyes.

Although she did nothing much, she had indirectly brought them together. It was their fate. Everything was destined from the beginning. Who were they to change their paths?

"Rayan, when you get married, I will send you my blessing." The wind tossed her head and she grinned. Her smile was pure and innocent.

Seeing her smile moved him and brought a smile to his face as well.

"Rayan, I will take my leave first. Someone will contact you later regarding the matter. Thank you once again." Jenna remembered that she had lots to do over here and time was scarce. Hence, she did not chat with him any longer and left after saying goodbye.

Rayan stared at her thin figure walking away. Although she was skinny, there was determination in her eyes and she remained steady and firm. He sighed.

Just as Jenna was about to disappear from sight, Rayan raised his voice and shouted, "Jen, the Jones Group has suddenly introduced lots of cars into the market. I find it very suspicious. You can look into the matter."

Jenna stopped in her tracks.

Everything had been in a mess in the Richards Group since the crisis. However, what Rayan said reminded her about something.

An image of a woman flashed across her mind and her gaze turned ice-cold.

She turned around and smiled. "Rayan, thank you for the reminder. I know what to do now."

She then waved goodbye to Rayan, who waved to her as well.

At that moment, the sight of Rayan standing by the river made her recall the past. She remembered the times when she was poor and in despair. She was crouching on the grass over there with her car designs, looking very weak and helpless.

A man walked towards her and everything changed ever since.

She was truly blessed beyond measure to have met Rayan in her life. Although there was no romance between them, he was very important to her. She would always remember what he had done for her.

She smiled, revealing her neat row of white teeth.

At first, her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled, but eventually, she broke into a wide grin.

Jenna had arrived early at the American University of Fashion Design and Business Studies that Sabrina had been attending that morning. She had been wandering around the campus in her car for quite a while.

Sabrina had been enrolled in the fashion design course at the university. According to her, she had bumped into Norton before over here.

Jenna parked her car inconspicuously in a corner and looked around at the crowd.

She had come over the day before but she did not see him.

If she had guessed correctly, breaking up with Sabrina had served a huge blow to Norton. He seemed to have discovered something that he had been looking for all this while in Sabrina.

This was human nature. They seldom appreciated what they had and will only regret it once it was gone.

Suddenly, a tall man emerged at the gate of the building.

Jenna stared at him, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

After a while, the man appeared, carrying a bag. He was followed by a few other men. They got into a van.

Where were they going?

The van pulled away.

Jenna was puzzled and hurried after them.

Jenna followed him in her car.

He went to a restaurant to have his lunch before walking into a dark and narrow basement.

Jenna parked her car and walked down the street. She was just about to go down to the basement to find him.

Suddenly, a man emerged.

He was walking towards her. Jenna was finally able to take a good look at him.

He looked tanned and thin. He wore a plain t-shirt and it seemed that he had not shaved for a few

days as he was growing a beard. However, he seemed calm and steady as he looked coolly ahead.

He cast a glance in her direction.

The expression on his face changed abruptly. He spun around and was about to run away.

"Norton, stop!" Jenna bellowed.

Norton had no choice but to stop in his tracks.

"Norton, how long are you going to hide from us? You are a man. Are you planning to stay here forever?" Jenna asked, standing behind him. Her expression was solemn.

Norton trembled and he slowly turned around. He sniggered.

"Jenna, you're making fun of me now, aren't you?"

His expression was unreadable. There was a sneer on his face, but apart from that, he did not show any other emotions. He was far more mature and calmer compared to the past.

"Are you kidding me?" Jenna sneered. "Why would I waste my time on you? You better not make others look down upon the Richards Group.”

The muscles along his jaw clenched and his smile was strained. "I have already been driven out of the family. Don't worry, no matter what I do, it will not affect the reputation of the family. I have nothing to do with you guys anymore."

What he said was harsh and brutal. Rage flowed through her veins when she heard what he said.

"Nonsense. Without the Richards Group, where would you be? I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful brat! After all these years in prison, you still failed to recognize your mistakes and come to your senses. How ridiculous!" Jenna was seething with anger. How could he still bear a grudge against the Richards family for driving him out of the family?

"Jenna, you love Hansen. Hence, no matter what he did, you will always think that he is in the right. What about me? I may have made some mistakes in the past, but was it so hard to forgive me? I already said before that all I wished was to stop your father from participating in the election so that I can win, and make you guys proud of me. I have never thought of murdering him. Who knew that Earl would do something like that behind my back after using me? I have endured my punishment for the past few years and I don't owe you anything anymore. Now, I'm no longer part of the family and what I do is none of your business. Please respect me." Norton sniggered and he remained detached and cold. He was in no mood to stay and was about to leave.

"Stop right there." Jenna saw what he was about to do and stopped him. She was filled with anguish. The Richards Group was in trouble and Vivian had been longing to see him every day. She didn't expect him to still bear a grudge against the family. Her disappointment was apparent.

"Norton, let bygones be bygones. I no longer hate you for what has happened in the past. Don't tell me you still bear a grudge against us? Have you thought of Grandma? What about your mother? You are being pretty irresponsible here. Norton, let me remind you. You are a man. I'm here to tell you that I wish to bring you home." Jenna's aura was overbearing and her unwavering glare held him in place.
