Chapter 73

"I'm looking for Javon's home,1' Hansen said to the guard, as the car pulled up at the communitygate. He didn't hesitate this time. Even if Sara was furious with him, he was still going to pay her avisit.

The guard was a lean old man, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He looked at him with a gleam inhis eyes as his eyes slowly widened. If he was not mistaken, the man was Mr. Richards, one of themost renowned men in A city.

"Mr. Richards, nice to meet you!" He smiled at Hansen and greeted him politely. Hansen took outhis wallet and handed him a few hundred dollar bills. He leaned his hand against the window andasked lightly, "What's Javon's house number?"

He had only been to the neighborhood once since he married Jenna. He had even forgotten thehouse number!

The old man happily put away the money and thanked him. When he heard Hansen's question, hisface suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and said awkwardly, "Mr. Richards, Minister Murphy'sfamily moved out of the area after the car accident, and I heard that his house has been transferredto his younger brother, James. I don't think you will be able to replace Javon's family here."

Moved out? It was beyond his expectation. Hansen's heart was cold and he asked coldly, "When didthis happen?" "Not too long ago. Anyway, they have really moved out of here," the old man thoughtfor a while and said very seriously. He also had heard some rumors about James taking awayJavon's house and driving Jenna and her mother out of the house but he didn't dare to sayanything. He knew that Mr. Richards did not like Minister Murphy's daughter. If he said anythingelse, he would be in trouble.

There were some things that they, who worked as security guards, could not say indiscriminately. Ifthey wanted to keep their jobs, they had to be careful about their words. It would be best if they

didn't provoke influential figures like Mr. Richards.

Hansen's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze was sharp and cold, "Do you know where they movedto?"

The old man shook his head and repeatedly denied, "Well, Mr. Richards, you know that we are justsecurity guards. This is someone's private affair..."

Hansen started the car and drove away before he could finish his sentence. It was only a waste ofhis time talking to those people.

He didn't expect that they would move away. Now, it would be difficult to replace them!

The car turned on the street again, and the Hummer growled from time to time. He passed by thestreets and alleys, and through the commercial areas. Of course, he found nothing.

He began to become more and more anxious, "Woman, where have you gone? How dare you runaway without my permission? You're dead once I replace you!" He had completely forgotten that he wasthe one who drove her away!"

He hated it so much but there was nothing he could do. He had no clue as to where Jenna and hermother had moved to! That's when he realized that he did not know much about her despite the factthat they had been married for a few years.

He stopped the car at the river bay. He had already been driving around it a few times, and therewas no sign of her. At that time, he hoped that he would be able to replace her there, just like when shewas drunk last time. However, she wasn't here and he was sure it was impossible to replace her.

Suddenly, his mobile phone rang. He took out his phone in a hurry and saw that it was Marrisa.

"Hansen, how long has it been since you came back to see me? I thought we agreed that you wouldcome back for dinner once a week," Marissa was happy to finally hear Hansen's voice, but she stillcouldn't stop herself complaining.

Hansen was upset thus he coaxed her in a gentle voice, "Mom, I'll come home to see you when Ican, I'm busy right now."

"You're always busy. You've forgotten all about me. Let me tell you, Aria's parents will be coming tothe Richards Manor tomorrow. You must come back then," although Marissa was complaining, shewas still smiling happily and was kind.

"Mom, why are they visiting us?" Hansen frowned, and his voice sounded a little unhappy.

"To discuss your marriage of course, you silly child. What else would they be doing here? You arenot young anymore. You need to quickly set a wedding date. I am still waiting for a grandchild. Nowthat your father is in that state, I am always anxious. Please listen to me and come back tomorrow,"Marissa said dotingly.

Hansen found his mother's words jarring to the ear. There were only three days left until hisgrandmother's birthday. However, they were so anxious to talk about the marriage. Did they want toupset his grandmother on purpose? Anyway, the man had to take the initiative when it came to themarriage proposal. After being married once, he was not anxious to get married so soon. It wasbetter to be prudent in life.

Marissa hadn't really laughed since his father's accident, and he didn't want to disobey her toomuch. He held his annoyance back and agreed with Marissa.

"Hansen, remember to dress up well tomorrow. You have to rely on Mayor McAdams to deal withthe matter of Camphor Tree Villa," Marissa instructed. However, Hansen's face turned red and hiseyes were full of anger. He hated it when they used the Camphor Tree Villa matter to threaten him.

Did he still have to rely on that kind of relationship for what he wanted to do? What a big joke! Not tomention that he had a plan to deal with it at present; even if he didn't, he would not let his marriagehave anything to do with the secular things. He was looking for a lifetime partner, not a marriageforcibly made for political interests. He despised the political and loveless coupling of the gentry forpolitical gains.

The Camphor Tree Villa matter was not a problem for him. If he couldn't even handle such a thing,how could he live in A City in the future?

He casually replied to his mother and turned off his mobile phone. Then he turned around and drovearound the river again. There was still no sign of Jenna. He felt a little depressed. His mind seemedto be focused on this woman.

The next day, just as Hansen was walking out of the elevator, Minnie, who was dressed veryseductively, greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Richards."

As she spoke, she reached for his briefcase and said in a flirtatious manner, "Mr. Richards, I've justmade you a cup of your favorite tea."

Minnie's face was covered with heavy makeup, and she somewhat resembled Jenna's face when itwas full of flattering smiles. She grinned from ear to ear. However, Hansen could not replace a trace ofthe elegance and grace that was unique to Jenna.

Hansen stared at her. They were cousins, but she gave him a different vibe from Jenna. He couldsee some resemblance to Jenna on her face, but that feeling made him disgusted. When Ariadecided to replace his secretary, he didn't even object. Maybe that was because he saw someresemblance of Jenna on her face.

He actually cared about Jenna. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he had to face his ownfeelings.

"Secretary Murphy, come to my office later," Hansen's gaze left her face and said calmly.

Hansen's gaze had been fixed on her face for a long time, and there was a conspicuous look in hiseyes for the first time. Her heart started racing in her chest, she was overjoyed. Of course, if sheknew what Hansen was thinking, she would have been exasperated. What she heard was hisgentle words, which were as sweet as honey.

What did it mean that Hansen would even ask for her? Could it be that he had a crush on her? Ifshe could win his favor, it would be a dream come true for her.

She then reapplied her makeup to make sure she was well presented. Then she walked over slowlyand knocked on the door. She asked softly, "Mr. Richards, may I come in?"

"Come in," Hansen was sitting on the couch with a cup of tea, while he read the newspaper with hislegs crossed.

The tea leaves in the cup were fragrant, even if she was standing far away from him, she could stillsmell the aroma of the tea as it entered her nostrils. She walked in gracefully, with a charming smileon her face. The dress fitted her perfectly and her flesh-colored undergarments underneath werequite revealing and so conspicuous that Hansen most probably would have seen it.

Hansen's gaze fell on her breasts. He paused for a moment and squinted slightly, but then hesuddenly recalled the day he held Jenna's waist. Even though she was wearing a lacy white shirtunderneath her suit and it was not revealing, it still caught his eyes. What a sight it would be if shecould wear a dress like this like Minnie? Gradually, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.Although he had only done it twice with Jenna, it made him feel like he had lost his soul. As long ashe thought of her soft body, his heart would start racing and he couldn't help himself.

He just looked at Minnie's breasts and was left in a trance.

Minnie was delighted. Was Hansen really interested in her? Then her bad days were numbered! Hehad been staring unblinkingly at her breasts ever since she walked into the room. It seemed thatmen were all like that, greedy and lustful.

She smiled sweetly and deliberately took a couple of steps forward. Her breasts swayed, which wasvery seductive. If it weren't for the fact that he was a man with self-control, he would have rushed upto her and knocked her down then.

Hansen took a sip of tea nonchalantly. When he saw Minnie, who was standing next to him, hesmiled evilly. The tea was steaming hot as the steam drifted across his seemingly smiling face. Helightly tapped the teacup with his nails and slightly raised his head.

"Secretary Murphy, where do you live now?"

He asked indifferently. His face was as calm as ever, and no one could tell what was his intention.

Minnie was stunned. She couldn't understand what he meant and felt a little nervous. Did healready know that her family had stolen Jenna's property and now he wanted to get it back for her?No, his expression did not show that he was unhappy at all. It was far better than his expressionlessface when he was wearing at work. Moreover, she had not seen Jenna go to work for days. Rumorhad it that she had been fired by Hansen.

She thought that he was just casually asking. After all, it was not a great way to start a conversationby asking whether she had had her breakfast or not. What's more, the question was subtle with a lotof hidden meanings!
