Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 553

Jenna stood there calmly and faced all the different gazes from other people indifferently. She was relaxed and could even talk and laugh freely. It seemed that she was smiling at everyone, but in fact, her gaze did not fall on anyone.

While she was noble and kind, she also kept a distance from everyone else. Others couldn't figure her out. They felt as if they were researching a fine product, analyzing her with different perspectives and methods. The more they guessed, the more mysterious Jenna was to them. In the end, she was even worshipped as a saint. That point was even more prominent among men.

Jenna accepting her husband taking a second wife meant that other people could use it as a reason to seek love affairs in the future. Therefore, they all praised Jenna highly.

Jenna knew all of that in her heart, but she acted as if she didn't hear anything and was very calm.

She didn't believe that Hansen would betray her. She still wasn't willing to believe that Hansen really wanted to marry Liya even up till that moment.

She wanted to see that Saturday with her own eyes and decide if she still had the chance to go out with Jerry and Hansen.

She had to be cruel to herself. No matter how painful it was, she still had to stand under the spotlight. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of flames in front of her, she was still willing to bear with the pain as she believed that she would find the answer.

The deciding moment was approaching little by little.

Trevor and Christopher were sitting in the reception room, talking and laughing. Trevor's face was flushed red, and he seemed happy. Christopher also was in high spirits as he kept smiling.

When Jenna entered, Christopher's eyes fell on her. Then, he looked at her face as if he was sizing her up and trying to see through her.

Jenna then showed a faint and smooth smile. Her smile was dignified and beautiful. Others couldn't bear to shift their eyes away from it.

Christopher's eyes darkened, and an imperceptible sense of disappointment flashed across his pitch-black eyes.

That woman was once a woman he wanted to pursue when he was in college, but he gave up after comparing himself with Hansen.

He was sure that he couldn't gain the upper hand.

Surely enough, after that woman married Hansen, she created legends one after another, and people had to look at her with new perspectives.

"Dad, the crucial moment has arrived." Jenna walked in and said flatly to Trevor. Her expression was calm, and her tone was respectful.

"Oh." Trevor smiled gently. His somewhat dark eyes were filled with a hidden light. They seemed calm and gentle, but a trace of unease flashed across them for a moment, and it didn't escape Jenna's sharp eyes.

"Where's Marissa?" he asked.

They had already agreed that Marissa needed to be by his side on that day's wedding. She had to follow the process of getting the wedding bouquet handed to her by Liya and Hansen. Even if she didn't like it, she still had to put on an act.

"I'm here, I'm here." Before Trevor's voice had even faded, Marissa's voice drifted from behind. Jenna lifted her head and looked over, only to see that Marissa was dressed in an exquisitely crafted gown with royal blue floral patterns on its white base. Her makeup was exquisite. Even though she was already ageing, she still retained her charm and her every movement was very elegant and noble.

"Didn't we agree to come here on time?" Trevor frowned again after looking at her attire. "Why aren't you wearing something more festive?"

"I'm here, aren't I?" Marissa came over and muttered, "What's the point of coming here early? To be laughed at by others?"

"You..." Trevor glanced at her, and there was a hint of an insinuation in his eyes, but it faded away helplessly. "You're really something. You're not even as sensible as Jenna. Right now, it's your son who's getting married."

There was a disdainful expression on Marissa's face. She pouted, but she didn't reply to Trevor. Instead, she turned to Jenna and smiled kindly. "Jenna, I'm sorry for making it difficult for you."

Jenna showed a slight smile.

Marissa took her arm and walked to the lounge, leaving Trevor aside.

With a helpless smile, Trevor could only beckon Christopher towards the lounge as well.

"Madam, the wedding is about to begin, but the groom hasn't arrived yet. Where has Mr. Richards gone?" Just as Jenna followed Trevor and Marissa into the lounge behind the stage, Maud rushed in and said, "The emcee has already started to call for us."

Was that so?

Jenna's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, when she heard that Hansen had yet to appear on time, she actually felt a sense of joy in her heart. It was as if she was looking forward to such a situation happening. Although she felt that her thought wasn't virtuous, she could not help but to glance at the crowd with her beautiful eyes. Indeed, she saw no sign of Hansen's tall and majestic figure.

His figure was so familiar that she could recognize it as long as she glanced towards the crowd. In the past, she had laid in his arms, and he had embraced her. Then, he would laugh loudly as they cuddled with each other intimately. They used to have a sweet and lovely relationship.

However, right then, was he going to marry another woman? Would he not belong to her fully anymore?

Her heart ached, and tears almost rolled down her cheeks upon thinking of that.

"Didn't you call him?" Trevor was lost in thought. When Marissa heard that her son was missing, she became anxious and blurted out.

Trevor used to be a figure who once controlled A

City and had a lot of power. What kind of a scene hadn't he seen before? Would he care about such a hooligan?

At that time, he was against Claude. So, he didn't want to get involved in that matter. After all, Fadison was just a punk. So, he allowed him to mess around as he liked, but it was impossible for Trevor to accept Fadison acting like before right then.

"Why are you panicking?" He bellowed in a deep voice, "The wedding hasn't even started yet. It's just the second wife. What's the big deal? Even if the groom doesn't come, it's not too much to take the bride in through the back door."

His tone was stern and full of authority with a dignified manner.

Fadison was stunned.

At that time, Maud also immediately shouted, "Fadison, take a good look. This is Mr. Trevor Richards. It's not up to you to judge him. The fact that today's wedding is held is all in consideration towards your family. No matter how dissatisfied you are, the marriage can still be cancelled at any time. Richards Manor doesn't value second wives as such at all. Right now, it's your daughter who's forcefully pestering Mr. Richards. She's not someone whom Mr. Richards has to marry no matter what."

Fadison had always coveted the Richards family's wealth. Since he was seriously ill right then, the only reason he came over was to try to get some money out of them.

In his eyes, everything was good as long as he got to earn some quick cash. As for how his daughter's wedding turned out or whether she would be able to attain happiness, that was something he didn't care about at all. Since he managed to get involved with Richards Manor, the benefits he could get would allow him to enjoy the rest of his life.

After being reprimanded by Trevor, he started to feel guilty and stopped acting arrogant.

Nevertheless, he was not willing to give up. He mustered up his courage to say, "My dear in-laws, no matter what, the wedding is about to begin. It's wrong not to have a groom. If Hansen doesn't come over soon, then I will tell the media that your prestigious family has gone back on your word and bullied us."

He knew that those reporters, who were able to enter Richards Manor at that time, were all bought off by the Richards family. So, they wouldn't post any negative news and would only spread positive news with any means necessary.

In reality, before the wedding, Trevor and Hansen had indeed made a big deal about it, as if they were afraid that the world didn't know about it. However, when the wedding was held, they rejected some other media outlets with ulterior motives for the sake of not wanting others to smear their reputation. Therefore, they only invited a few media reporters they trusted.

Their plan was to capture Reid alive and rescue Claude. After that, they would immediately announce through the media that they would cancel Hansen's and Liya's wedding and the fact that Reid had kidnapped Claude, forcing Hansen to marry Liya. Of course, if Zoella was willing to take advantage to the situation and accuse Liya, then they would hand everything over to the police. In that case, they only needed to explain to the media, and everything would be fine.

In that way, Richards Manor would have nothing to do with everything anymore. Then, Liya and Zoella would fight each other, and they would then be able to use all their efforts in dealing with Yadriel.

With that, at the very least, they would be able to achieve their purpose by doing that.
