Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Mr. Richards, do you want to call the police?” Jason asked steadily.

The chill in Hansen’s eyes flashed, then he waved his hand and said, “This is the underworld. We will solve the problem ourselves. We might not get what we want if we call the police.”

“Yes indeed. The police are useless and they always screw things up,” the other one replied affirmatively.

“You guys should leave first. I have booked the room next to his room. Wait for the opportunity to take action. I am waiting for your good news,” Hansen spoke as he looked at the snow in the sky. He thought of Jenna taking him to meet Weldon that night.

“Yes, Mr. Richards,” John agreed and hinted to the others to get out of the car quietly. Soon, they disappeared into the snow.

Hansen took his gaze back until they could no longer be seen.

He was about to call Jenna and was about to pick her up, but the phone rang first.

“Hansen, where are you?” Norton’s voice sounded expressionless on the phone.

Hansen’s face darkened. He immediately frowned and said coldly, “Norton, I have something to do tonight. Let’s change it to tomorrow night.”

“Hansen, I have already booked the room. Are you going to bail on me? Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want the latest information. Without my help, you will never learn the truth about Javon’s death. It’s up to you if you want to come or not. However, be clear that after tonight, the opportunity is gone,” Norton said. Then, he spat a few final words, “Meet me on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, The River suite. I will be there at nine o’clock.”

After saying this, he gave a dry laugh and hung up the phone.

D*mn, it was the Hilton Hotel again.

Hansen was a little annoyed that everything was happening in the Hilton Hotel that night. It was already 8:40 pm and it was only 20 minutes until the time to meet Norton. He was hesitating when he saw that the phone was flashing again. He picked it up and saw that it was Jenna.

“Jenna,” Hansen answered the phone and spoke softly.

“Hansen, I have made an appointment with Weldon. We will meet in the hotel room at 9 o’clock,” Jenna said while standing on the asphalt road in Richards Manor, with snowflakes flying above her head. She looked at the gate of Richards Manor from time to time and was a little worried. It seemed like he probably had forgotten about it since Jenna didn’t see him come back yet.

Hansen frowned and thought for a while.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hansen, where are you now?” Jenna didn’t hear Hansen’s answer for a long time, so she asked again.

“Jenna, I have something to do here so let’s talk to Weldon and see if we can postpone the appointment till tomorrow,” Hansen finally made up his mind and suggested.

Tomorrow? Jenna was shocked. Weldon valued a person’s integrity very much. He would have returned to the United States long ago but he stayed one more night after her persuasion. The flight tickets for the next day had already been booked too. He had done all this for her so if she missed the appointment that day, she would seem disrespectful to him.

“No, Hansen, we can’t break the trust other people have in us, and this matter is related to the condition of Uncle Richards. We have to be faithful to our words, and we can’t forgo etiquette,” Jenna was a little anxious as she said. She thought, “No matter how important your thing is, it can’t compare to Uncle Richards’s illness. Can’t you get rid of it?” She couldn’t figure it out and continued to speak, “Well, Hansen, if you don’t want to pick me up, just rush to Hilton Hotel Room 820. Weldon is waiting for us there. You wait for me outside the door. I will ask the driver to take me there.”

Jenna was very nervous. She hung up the phone and hurriedly called the butler. After a while, the driver came over and drove Jenna directly to Hilton Hotel.

Hansen was shocked when he heard the words ‘Hilton Hotel’. It turned out to be this place again! It seemed like something was going to happen that night.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn’t help but throb.

The Presidential Suite of the Hilton Hotel was located in Room 818. It was on the east side of the floor, and there were some VIP rooms on the west side. Room 819 was the room he had booked for John. He did not expect Jenna to book Weldon into Room 820. Those rooms were almost next to each other.

It was so dangerous!

Thinking of this, Hansen was flustered and he hurriedly dialed Jenna’s number to tell her not to come, but he couldn’t reach Jenna no matter how he tried.

D*mn. He threw his phone away, annoyed.

It was already 8:50 pm at this time, and it was too late to hurry back, so he started to get increasingly worried. It seemed that he could only accompany her there to ensure her safety.

Thinking that there were still a few minutes left, he parked the car and walked toward The River room where Norton wanted to meet.

The scarlet red wine glowed dimly in the wine glass. Norton sat on the sofa leisurely with his legs crossed. He smiled faintly and twirled the wine glass gently with his white and slender hand.

The smile on his face was confident. He was still smiling, sitting leisurely, while tasting the red wine with a confident appearance when Hansen’s figure appeared at the door of the private room.

When he saw Hansen’s uptight expression, the corner of his mouth curved into a bigger smile.

“Norton, what the hell is it? Say it all out quickly. I have something to do.” Hansen was worried about Jenna, fearing that she would meet Brock at the hotel, or that she might encounter something unexpected. He couldn’t be bothered to spend more time with Norton. The reason he hurried over was because of what Norton said to him that morning. Hence, he asked a hasty question before he even sat down properly.

The atmosphere that night was so weird. The air was filled with uneasy feelings.

“Hansen, don’t be so hasty. Since you are here, come and sit down first. It is rare for us to get together. We might as well have a drink today and talk about the current affairs in the world. What do you think?” Norton was not in a hurry, so he said while holding a red wine-glass in his hand, twirling it lightly, a faint smile on his face.

Hansen was a little annoyed. How could he have the time to accompany Norton to drink now? He was worried about Jenna and he didn’t even know if she was there already, so he glanced at Norton sharply and said sternly, “Norton, show me now what you’ve got. Let me tell you, I still have something to do. If you can’t get it out now, I will assume that you are fooling me today and you will find out the consequences of fooling around with me.”

Hansen smiled coldly. In order to show his demeanor and to subsidize his political expenses, the Richards Group would give Norton a large amount of benefits every month. If he suddenly canceled these, the greedy Norton would surely have a hard time in the future.

Of course Norton also knew it, but at this time, he didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He stood up and pulled Hansen to sit down.

“Hansen, don’t worry. It’s freezing cold outside. Sit down and warm yourself up with a glass of wine.”

He spoke to Hansen politely with a flattering smile.

Hansen felt helpless, he was forced to sit down now, and he didn’t intend to sit still because of his worries. He glanced at Norton’s happy face once again, then asked while holding back his temper: “Norton, what are you doing now?”

“Hey, Hansen, I did it for your good, of course,” Norton’s thin lips were slightly pursed, and he lifted the corner of his mouth slightly. Then he finally said with a caring face, “Hansen, I heard that you are investigating Javon’s case. Is it true?”

Hansen heard that Norton was finally getting to the point, so he sat down firmly, but his eyes were cold as he said creepily, “How did you know?”

“Hansen,” Norton stretched his voice. “I also live in Richards Manor, and I still have the benefits from Richards Group every month. How can I not know about this kind of matter that is related to the Richards Group? Besides, Alvin’s injuries were reported all over the news. I am a government official so why wouldn’t I know this?”

Hansen was slightly convinced by him. The corner of his mouth raised faintly, and he asked in a cold voice: “So, do you know that Alvin’s injury is related to Javon’s case?”

Norton’s eyes showed that he was dumbfounded for a second but it became clear again in an instant.

“Hansen, Javon is already dead so why do you still bother to investigate it? I heard that the car that killed Javon was a luxury car produced by Richards Group. You must know that if this is exposed, it will have a negative impact on the Richards Group’s stock and economy. Wasn’t it just a car accident? There are car accidents and man-made accidents in the world every day. If they are all investigated in this way, it is really not a good thing. Everyone is trying to keep it quiet,” he laughed helplessly and asked in wonder. After his question, he was afraid that Hansen would have doubts. Hence, he swore, “Hansen, I am telling you all of this for the sake of the Richards Group. After all, I am also from the Richards family.”

What he said also seemed reasonable. He was just kindly reminding Hansen, but it still sounded harsh to Hansen. Hansen said with a dignified expression, “Norton, I would rather not take that money that was made without conscience. I would rather not be an official if I felt guilty. Although the rules of this world are controlled by the strong, there is still fairness and justice in the world. When someone is too evil, he will bear his own consequences in the end. Javon’s reputation is great and everyone knows he was a kind person. The position of the head of the Finance Department originally belonged to him, but suddenly he got involved in a car accident for no reason. Norton, don’t you think that it’s odd?”

Hansen finished speaking calmly, staring at Norton sternly.

Norton’s face turned dark but he smiled, his expression stiff and unnatural. He hurriedly said, “Yes indeed, you’re right, but Javon’s case isn’t that easy to investigate. Even Alvin has been injured because of it. Hansen, you need to be aware of your safety. Besides, Javon was originally your father-in-law. Although you didn’t treat him well, he was still your father-in-law, right?”

Norton chuckled, trying to hide his embarrassment.
