Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Mr. Richards, this time, Christopher took down the drug den and made a really huge impact. Currently, the international crime organization has sneaked into A city,” Alvin said unexpectedly.

Hansen sat up.

“Did you see them?” he asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Alvin nodded and assured him, “Earlier today, I sent a small group of people to enter the nightclub. Brock’s den has some movements too.”

Hansen’s eyes narrowed and the light in his eyes sparkled.

“Alvin, Christopher is going to take this opportunity to get rid of these dens once and for all. There are a lot of them. Last night, Christopher personally led the interrogation and received some intel too. He and his deputies acted overnight; they managed to clear a drug den in A city. Now, it’s not surprising that all the dens in the city have been associated with organized crime. We need to pay close attention to Brock’s movements. When the time is right, we will catch Brock alive, interrogate him and solve Javon’s case,” Hansen ordered.

“Okay.” Alvin nodded and asked in a puzzled manner, “But, will Christopher agree?”

“Hmph.” Hansen snorted coldly with a weird smile appearing on the corners of his mouth. He said coldly, “If we didn’t need to work with him, we would have caught Brock alive much earlier. We wouldn’t have to wait until now.”

Thinking of the previous night where Christopher made him drunk, there was a trace of hatred in his heart.

It was normal for Hansen to worry that Christopher would spoil the plan. Hansen knew his personal vendetta would have to wait but it did not mean that he would need to completely listen to Christopher. If anything happened to Brock, Javon’s case would turn cold.

He could listen to him but he was the one calling the shots here.

“If we do it, will it affect the police? After all, it’s a narcotics operation and the crime of obstructing justice is too great to bear.” Alvin was worried. Such a crime was serious.

“That is why I have asked John to have the Grand Eagles spy on Brock. Currently, even Christopher doesn’t know where Brock is hiding. We have to cooperate with the police, catch Brock and bring him to court.” Hansen pondered and reminded Alvin, “You must figure out what the police are doing and report to me.”

“Relax, Mr. Richards, I will,” Alvin promised.

Hansen was very tired. He closed his eyes and waved at Alvin to dismiss him.

Just as Alvin was about to leave, he suddenly heard Hansen ask, “Alvin, is the new evidence on Earl’s corruption that you said the last time still around?”

Alvin thought for a while and nodded. “Yes, Mr. Richards.”

“Okay, continue to make the preparations,” Hansen instructed lightly.

Alvin was a little confused. When he found evidence the other time, Hansen clearly said on the phone to stop for the moment. Why was he asking for it again? However, he just nodded in agreement.

Alvin walked out afterwards.

Hansen knocked on the back of the sofa, stood up, walked to the phone, and dialed a few numbers. “Caleb, did you get the information I asked for?”

“Mr. Richards, I have almost everything I could get my hands on but some have been transferred,” Caleb said with a trembling voice. His life was completely scr*wed ever since Hansen kept an eye on him. He was living in terror every day and could only hope it would end someday soon.

Hansen sneered and hung up.

“Young Madam, time is of the essence on preparing the venue, food, performance, and also the layout of the central island. This is the first time the manor is hosting such a large-scale annual banquet. It is better to prepare in advance.” Butler Maud got nervous after receiving the responsibility to handle the banquet and came to ask Jenna for instructions early that day.

Jenna was scanning through a large piece of paper. With her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she slowly raised her head.

“Butler Maud, do you have anyone in mind?” she asked slowly.

Some too many people wanted to butter up to Jenna recently. Everyone was eyeing this event.

Jenna knew it well but she didn’t say it out loud.

“Young Madam, quite a few units are recommending themselves but you still have to make the final decision.” Butler Maud put on a smile.

Jenna slowly looked through the list Frederic used for last year’s New Year’s banquet in her hand. Back then, it was the talk of the town. Therefore, the banquet enhanced the company’s reputation. It was indeed a good choice.

Although it used up a lot of money, it was a win-win situation.

Jenna used the Vice President title of the Richards Group to get this list from Frederic.

After making comparisons, she knew what to do.

“What is Vivian doing?” There were footsteps in the hallway and then she heard a delicate voice that coupled with a strong scent of perfume.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jenna immediately felt goosebumps forming on her skin.

Aria swaggered in with Minnie.

What was she doing?

Jenna knitted her brows.

She felt a sense of discomfort when she saw Aria.

“Jenna, little did I know you were that good being the head of the manor. My back was hurting for the past few days, therefore I didn’t visit Vivian. I only found out today that you’ve become the head of the manor,” Aria said with a smile, acting friendly while her hands touched her belly, showing off from time to time.

“Ms. McAdams, have a seat. Meroy is not here yet. Vivian may still be asleep.” Minnie helped Aria sit as she wanted to be on her good side.

“Okay.” Aria sat on the sofa.

“Ms. McAdams, sit tight. I’ll pour you a glass of water. You have to stay hydrated especially when you’re pregnant.” Minnie smiled and went to the water dispenser.

Jenna’s office was next to Vivian’s bedroom. Aria could have waited in the living room or the studio but she somehow decided to sit in Jenna’s office. Jenna was very unhappy.

She felt strange. Aria usually did not visit Vivian. Why was she here several times a week these days? Was she trying to butter up Vivian?

Probably.

Aria was pregnant. From time to time, she would visit Vivian to remind her that she was pregnant with the Richards family blood. Vivian should not forget her.

Jenna understood this little trick.

She stood up, packed her things, and left.

Picking up the small bag on the desk, she raised her head and saw Minnie’s eyes observing around. Her eyes were constantly glancing everywhere and she looked a little flustered.

Jenna frowned deeper and felt her heart drop.

What was Minnie looking at? The room was very simple. There was nothing to see.

However, her eyes were not just fixed on the house. She swept glances at the surroundings even when she poured the water.

“Cough, cough.” Jenna deliberately coughed twice.

Minnie seemed to be very startled. Her body shivered and panic flashed across her face. She quickly withdrew her gaze.

Jenna stood up, approached her, and stared at her straight in the eye. After a moment or so, she turned around and walked out.

“That b*tch.” Minnie was so frightened by Jenna that she scolded bitterly behind her back after watching her walk out.

“Just let her be for a few days,” Aria said softly. “You should also pay attention to your composure. Don’t act suspicious.”

“Yes, I know,” Minnie whispered.

The two sat on the sofa peacefully and waited for Meroy to come.

Jenna walked out of Ink Garden and felt weird. For the past two days, she felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird. Just as she thought about it, she saw Norton coming from the front as she turned around. Perhaps because he saw her, he didn’t walk over but stopped in his tracks.

After hesitating for a while, he turned around.

Jenna was suspicious and didn’t plan to let him go this time.

Since he came out of jail, he had been avoiding her. For a couple of times, he hid or pretended not to see her. This time was no exception.

Sabrina’s innocent smile floated in Jenna’s mind.

“Norton, stay where you are,” she spoke in a lowered voice.

Norton’s legs trembled and he stopped in his tracks.

“Jenna, it’s you.” He turned around and greeted her with a smile, pretending as if he had just seen Jenna.

Jenna sneered in her heart. It was unnecessary to expose him.

“Norton, I have something to say,” she said in a flat tone.

“Alright, but maybe next time? I have something to do now.” Norton raised his eyebrow and his glance was a little unfocused. It was as if he was trying to cover up his panic and guilt.

Something? What could he be doing? He was suspended from work and he was hanging around in the garden all day. Seeing how reluctant he was, she knew that he was making excuses.

“It’ll only take a few seconds,” Jenna said coldly. She didn’t want to waste her time on him but she tried her best to hold back as she thought of Sabrina.

“Jenna, I can only say sorry about your father. Believe me, I didn’t want your father to die. I loved you so much and was unwilling to hurt you. How could I possibly think of killing your dad?” he whispered as his whole body tensed.

All he could feel was fear each time he saw Jenna. He didn’t even dare look into her eyes.

“Enough,” Jenna said coldly. “I didn’t come to you for this.”

“What could it be then?” Norton raised his head, puzzled, as he heard her response and looked at her face. Only at this moment did he realize how ashen Jenna’s face had gotten. The once beautiful and innocent woman was gone, and her face was full of sorrow and indifference. There was a shadow in those eyes that was once clear. She lost her passion and all this was probably because of him. He said uneasily as he felt a pain in his heart, “Jenna, I’m sorry… I won’t mind if you hate me.”
