Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 194

"But Hansen, I love you, and I'm already pregnant with your baby. Shouldn't you be responsible?" Aria shrieked desperately.

Hansen was exasperated. No matter what he said, she would not agree to terminate the pregnancy. He was drugged by someone else that night; it was a trap, it was not his intention. Even he himself was confused. How could they keep such a baby?

His head was aching. Why could she not wake up to her senses? Why was she using a baby to threaten him?

This was what he had despised most in his life.

"Aria, you know that night was a mistake. Norton drugged me, it was not my intention at all. Please calm down and think carefully. Stop using the baby to threaten me. Doing this won't do you any good," he said with a dark face and left with a slam on the door.

After that, Aria fell onto the ground!

His footsteps faded into the silent night and she began to feel frightened. He would not do as she wished even when she used their child to threaten him. Was it true? She did something wrong, didn't she?

Thinking of this, her whole body began to tremble.

If she insisted her way, would the future hold any happiness?

She knew Hansen very well. He was never afraid to do what he had said. It was obvious, looking at how he treated Jenna all those years.

But, what could she do? Apart from marrying him, there was really no other way!

In fact, it would be more painful if she did not marry him.

When he had agreed to marry her, Hansen did not refuse as strongly as he did at present, now that he wanted to get rid of their child. How could it not be love? It was all because of that woman.

The media already knew that she was Hansen's woman. How could she survive all the rumors if they did not marry?

No, she would take this until the end!

She would not let Hansen and Jenna succeed. She would make sure of it.

Aria gritted her teeth, her eyes glowing with hatred.

In the office of the Municipal Party Committee.

Earl returned to his office after a meeting. His secretary, Mr. Evans, came over and reported that the director of the Public Security Department, Louis Garver, was asking to see him.

Earl adjusted his glasses and his eyes rolled around. Hethen said softly, "Let him in."

"Alright." Mr. Evans stepped back and closed the door lightly.

After a while, Louis came into the room in a set of casual clothes.

"Mr. Garver, what's the matter?" Earl gestured at the door and asked slowly.

Louis got the hint and closed the door immediately. Having checked whether it was tightly closed, he then walked forward.

"Come on, sit here." Earl stood up and walked to the sofa in the living room. He pointed at the space beside him.

Louis sat down cautiously. His body leaned forward as he said in a low voice, "Mayor McAdams, something happened to Shelren Group. The Chairman, Caleb Hodge has declared bankruptcy."

What? Earl's eyes twitched but he still asked calmly, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

"Caleb came to me yesterday in dread, saying that Shelren Group was taken over by Richards Group. Everything happened in a rush. A lot of information has fallen into the hands of Hansen Richards," Louis explained in a low voice.

"What? Hansen?" Earl heard his name and his face darkened, his voice cold.

"Yes, Mayor McAdams. Caleb said that he had bought his company, and according to Hansen, he mentioned that for the sake of you, he paid more than the price so that Caleb didn't lose as much money," Louis was uneasy as he replied.

Very well, Hansen Richards! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Earl's face was as dark as coal in an instant. Hansen already knew about his dirty work in Shelren Group, he even called him out!

Was it a challenge or a show of power?

Knowing that he was trying to compete for the position of mayor, Hansen was secretly planning to blackmail him with what he found.

The gleam in Earl's eyes jumped, his gaze deep and inexplicable.

Hansen Richards. It seemed that he was still unwilling to marry his daughter. Had he started to take action?

Earl sneered.

Shelren Group was just one of his invisible pawns. Did Hansen think that he had found his weak spot? That was too pathetic.

"Mayor McAdams, Hansen is young and bold. I don’t know what he intended to get out of this. Although this matter does not pose a fatal threat, him knowing such a thing would not do us any good. After all, he has quite the influence in this city. Now, he has gotten the goods on us," Louis said worriedly.

Earl just smiled and waved his hands.

He knew Hansen's plans. All of this was nothing more than a bargain for not wanting to marry his daughter. He would not take any action for the time being. Besides, a mere Shelren Group would not be enough to tear him down.

With a faint smile, he calmly said, "It's okay."

"But, Mayor, the young man shouldn't be underestimated. It is said that he knows of our other weak spots. It seems that he has specifically targeted you but I don't understand why." Louis was puzzled. "I just don’t understand. Your daughter has moved into Richards Manor and is about to marry him. But, what he did was really bizarre. Although it's not a threat yet, it's definitely not a friendly act." There were more things that he found out? Earl's knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists tightly, and his voice was a bit chilly.

Hansen had actually held plenty of information just to go against him.

He had guts.

Even so, courage did not necessarily lead to success. How could Earl allow him to destroy everything he had worked so hard for?

He was young, and success in his business had contributed to his stubbornness and arrogance. He should know that acting on emotions would not do him any good!

Some things were complicated and yet Hansen dared to confront him openly? He was indeed too young. Did he think that with his career success over the years, he could have everyone kneeling before him?

Had it not been for his daughter, he would have ruined Hansen entirely.

Earl had a vicious look in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "This is no big deal. Just clean up our traces carefully and withdraw those companies. Hansen can't do anything to me for now."

He then laughed.

Louis was bewildered but Earl's hearty smile made him feel relieved. He bade goodbye and went out.

Earl had an ugly expression on his face as he glowered.

It was apparent that Hansen truly disliked his daughter and he really made his move. In order not to marry Aria, he did not hesitate to risk going against him!

Anger sparked in his eyes.

"You useless thing. Who allowed you to sleep in Jenna's bedroom? What are you plotting?" Aria was irritated and she yelled at Minnie when she found her.

Why was she making a fuss out of it? Was it such a big deal? Minnie could not have cared less but she faked a smile as she said carefully, "I'm really sorry. Last night, I drank some wine and was not in the right state of mind. I accidentally went into Mr. Richards' bedroom."

"Mr. Richards' bedroom? It’ s that b*tch's bedroom, nothing to do with Hansen. You are so ridiculous. There are guest rooms everywhere in the house and you had to choose that room. Why did you have to mess with him and be caught? Are you trying to cause problems for me?" Aria's face darkened. Remembering that Marissa too had said a word or two about her the night before, she became more dissatisfied with Minnie.

Minnie knew that Aria was just doing this out of anger as she was rejected by Hansen. She had to be careful, therefore she took on a worried and guilt-ridden expression. "Rest assured, this won't happen again. I was just thinking that since that b*tch won't dare to come back to Richards Manor, I wanted to stay closer and take good care of you. That's why I went into that room not far from yours when I was unconscious. Your body is precious and you're even pregnant now. I would never be careless about it."

Minnie was smart and knew to smear her lips with honey. She had said everything Aria wanted to hear.

"My body is precious? In Hansen's eyes, I'm just trash. He can't wait to throw me away," Aria was reminded of her sadness and muttered to herself.

"How is that even possible? You are the daughter of Mayor McAdams. Your identity is more precious than anything else. Mr. Richards is only temporarily seduced by that woman. It won’t be long until he changes his mind and returns to you. Besides, you have his child in your belly. Is there a man who doesn't like his own child? There is absolutely no reason to not love you, hence you should always be calm and wait for Mr. Richards," Minnie flattered her.

Aria sighed when she heard that. She hated Hansen for being foolish. Thinking of what he had said the previous night, she felt even more depressed and frustrated.

"Oh, by the way," Minnie suddenly thought of something. She leaned towards Aria and said, "Yesterday, I saw Madam Marissa answering a call, and then she was very happy. She was walking

around in the living room, looking like she's in a good mood."

"What call?" Aria hurriedly asked. She was interested but she felt nervous for no reason.

Minnie tilted her head and recalled the scene, then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Yes, I think they were saying that someone's arm could move now and they're about to get better. I didn't hear the exact conversation clearly."

Aria was stupefied and her heart sank. She got up, a little flustered. Her face was pale as she stood blankly.

"What's wrong?" Minnie saw her standing strangely without saying a word. She was confused and called her nervously.

After some time had passed, Aria finally came back to her senses by Minnie's call. Fine sweat had beaded on her forehead.

"What else did you hear?" she pulled Minnie's arm and asked anxiously.

"No-nothing else. Madam said nothing after putting down the phone and I couldn't guess what it was," Minnie shook her head and said seriously. Nevertheless, she was puzzled and curious about Aria's reaction. What would make her so nervous? There must be hidden secrets.

"This information is very good, well done," Aria praised Minnie. She took out a pile of cash from her pocket and handed it to Minnie. "Keep spying on them and tell me any news immediately. You'll get more than this next time."

Minnie accepted the money with glee, "Yes, no problem. I will definitely pay more attention."
