He sat up straight, cleared his voice, and said in a calm voice, "Miss Murphy is right. Our company strives for the best. If they are not fine works, we should throw them away. Now I announce that from today onwards, we will rebuild the design department. Miss Murphy will be the manager, and all the designs will have to go through her. Only when she says yes will the design be approved. I hope to see a new batch of designs before the press conference."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was bewildered. Mr. Richards assigned such an important design project to Miss Murphy, a newcomer. A model design should be a very important trade secret for a car manufacturing company. Was this acceptable?
Moreover, this lady was his ex-wife and she used to be a designer at Whalen Group. She was obviously very close to the president of Whalen Group.
They were wondering if Mr. Richards liked her or Aria better. Perhaps he liked both of them!
Everyone was confused, but they did not dare to refute it. Nobody dared to refute any of Hansen's decisions!
Not only was Aria upset, her face turned green all of a sudden.
Hansen and Jenna were actually saying things that she couldn't understand during the meeting. When did they become so intimate?
Since this woman appeared, Hansen seemed to have changed a lot!
She had to hurry up and think of a way to drive this dangerous woman away.
The sun was setting in the west and it was dyed red. It fell on the wall of a building in the city, searing it with its rays of light.
At six o'clock in the afternoon.
Jenna walked out of the office right on time.
She drove her Beetle and called home first thing.
"Aunt Lee, is my mother alright?"
Aunt Lee was Jenna's mother, Sara Garver's relative, she had even been the Murphy family's nanny when Jenna was very young. It could be said that she brought Jenna up, so Jenna had a very close relationship with her.
After Sara's accident, she stayed with Jenna without hesitation. Jenna was very touched. Of course, with the fifty million dollar compensation from Hansen, her life would not be too difficult.
"Miss, don't worry. Madam is much better now. Except for the fact that she can't walk, everything else is normal," Aunt Lee answered kindly.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Lee. I will be back late tonight. Don't wait for me for dinner."
"Miss, take care of yourself when you're outside. Remember to come home earlier," Aunt Lee reminded her.
"Well, okay." Just as Jenna hung up the phone, it rang again. When she saw 'Hannah Adames' displayed on the screen, she couldn't help smiling.
Since she returned to the country, she never really smiled genuinely. It was time for her to relax today!
At this time, the sunset painted the small building downtown with a thin, velvety layer of orange- gold.
'Gently Cafeteria' was the most romantic and warmest place to taste coffee in A city.
The coffee beans were sourced from Brazil. They didn't use fake goods and was fully authentic, but it was also very expensive.
Of course, the people who could come here were all rich young masters, wealthy young ladies, and officials.
All the upper-class members of A city knew about the 'Gently Cafeteria', and everyone knew the female owner of the coffee shop, the beautiful Hannah Adames.
Hannah was already 26 years old, but she was not married, she didn't even have a boyfriend. The men who were circling around her now couldn't even be regarded as her official boyfriend.
Her coffee shop was where all the young masters and popular girls hung out in A city. Late at night, Hannah wouldn't personally visit a lot of people, but Jenna was one that she would.
Hannah only had one best friend, and she had only acknowledged her alone, and that was Jenna.
Both of them could talk about everything, as if they could see each other clearly and appreciate each other. Jenna never admired a lot of women. It was rare to see an upper- class woman like Hannah who had experienced all kinds of things in the world and still bore a good temperament. She regarded her as her soulmate.
For example, there were a lot of upper-classmen who wanted to sleep with Hannah, but Hannah would make friends indiscriminately. She was very strict with her choices of men and she could see through men very clearly.
When Jenna married Hansen, she shook her head and sighed, saying that an innocent woman would be destroyed from then on.
Sure enough, Jenna, who got married into the Richards family, had never been happy. She was like a little flower amid the rainstorm, already destroyed before it could bloom.
She didn't have a good impression of Hansen. She thought he was a dominant, controlling, and self-righteous guy. He was the kind of person who thought he was talented and rich, a person who had no respect for people.
"D*mn it. If I didn't call you, are you not going to see me?" After seeing Jenna, the usually gentle Hannah had completely lost her ladylike image and scolded her.
Jenna's eyes turned red. She deliberately hugged Hannah in her arms and said aggrievedly, "Boss Adames, please comfort me. I've been suffering so much lately!"
Hearing this, Hannah held her face up and looked at her closely. Then she pulled her into the room and threw her on the wool carpet on the ground. She put her hands on her hips and scolded loudly, "What a fool! How dare you go back to work at Richards Group? What do you mean by that? Aren't you courting death that way?"
This was the real Hannah. Only when she was with Jenna would she be bold and fearless, and her image would take a 360 degrees turn. She would show her true colors, like a shrew in anger.
This was what they were used to and agreed upon. They both knew each other too well. There was no need for them to pretend, they only had to be straightforward and direct, and say whatever they wanted to say!
Jenna liked this kind of simple and genuine friendship. It was rare to have a friend like that, she cherished this hard-to-come friendship more than ever.
"It's so comfortable!" Jenna fell down on the wool carpet, laid down relaxed and laughed happily.
"Are you stupid? There is no one good in the Richards family. Take Hansen for example. He is a proud and arrogant guy. In terms of relationships, he is purely an idiot. It's alright if you want to play around with a man like this, but you can't get married to him. Unless you can control him, otherwise, you will suffer a lot! And your mother-in-law, she always thinks that she is the most important person in the world and she doesn't like anyone. Only an idiot woman like Aria would flatter her and make her happy."
Hannah acted as if she was teaching a precious lesson and began to badmouth on Hansen again. "Look at that fool, he is so supercilious that he actually took Aria as a treasure. That woman is vicious and sly like a fox. He will regret sooner or later if she traps him up. You still seeks for torture? What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you take care of yourself a little bit more?"
Hannah was so mad that Jenna did not live up to her expectations, she gnashed her teeth and pointed at Jenna. In her eyes, there were too many women who would be fooled by men, and there were not a lot of smart women. Although Jenna was smart, she turned into a fool when she met Hansen, her IQ would drop to a negative value.
"Stop criticizing me, okay?" Jenna held Hannah's leg and said pitifully, "I'm here to ask for comfort. Bring me good coffee and entertain me. Otherwise, if I die, you will not have any friends."
Looking at Jenna's pale face and weak body, Hannah sighed and said, "I know something happened in your family. I also sympathize with Uncle Murphy, that's why I didn't inform you at that time, I'm scared that you won't be able to hold on." Speaking of this, her eyes turned red. She crouched down to hold Jenna, patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Let bygones be bygones, it will get better in the future."
Jenna's heart ached when she heard that, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hannah, Hansen and I are divorced," she sobbed and said in a low voice, her eyes sparkling with tears.
"I know. It doesn't matter. It is going to come sooner or later. Hansen is a b*stard. It's a good thing that you divorced him." Hannah seemed to have expected that this day would come. She patted Jenna's shoulder and comforted, "You don't have to be so stubborn. There are so many men in the world. Tell me whoever you want, you can count on

me.
"But, Hannah, my father died so suddenly. I just can't accept it," Jenna stammered.
Hannah was shocked to hear that. She took Jenna's hand and asked suspiciously, "Did you go back to Richards Group because of your father? Do you suspect Hansen was involved?"
Jenna's eyes were full of confusion, she just stared at Hannah in a daze.
"Jenna, it's impossible," Hannah felt sorry and sighed repeatedly, "Jenna, can you tell me what happened in the Richards family three years ago? Why did you suddenly go abroad? Later after that, I called you, but you were just crying. What happened exactly?"
Jenna looked like she was in a blur as she shook her head blankly.
"Hannah, if I knew what was going on, I wouldn't have gone abroad, but I can't explain it. Hansen won't believe me either. I can't make it clear, so I could only escape. I didn't want to get the divorce," Jenna muttered to herself.
"Sigh!" Hannah shook her head and sighed, "Jenna, let bygones be bygones. Listen to me, don't work at Richards Group anymore. It's too complicated there, you can't handle it, and Hansen is such a j*rk, it will be very dangerous!" As she spoke, she personally picked the best coffee beans, grounded them, and then made coffee herself.
Jenna had always been used to drinking coffee without sugar and milk. She just wanted to enjoy the original taste of coffee. She was not afraid of bitterness at all. She would even think that sweetness would come from the coffee when it was rich enough. That type of feeling was unparalleled, and that kind of enjoyment was too wonderful!
When the fragrant coffee aroma came out of the delicate coffee pot, Jenna was intoxicated!
She forgot all her troubles and pain all of a sudden.
"Jenna." After making the coffee, Hannah sat on the sofa next to Jenna and talked while she sipped on the coffee. "I felt something strange about your father's death too, but I noticed in my cafee that people in the upper class know a lot of news here. However, no one knows anything about your father, not even the slightest rumor. Maybe you are really thinking too much."
Hannah said in a low voice, "Although Hansen is a little bit complicated, his career is successful and he is a noble. It is impossible for him to kill your father. Is it even necessary for him to do that?" NôvelDrama.Org content.
"But he hates me and only wants to divorce me. He thinks that I destroyed his love life. He hates me," Jenna said painfully.
"Even so, it's doesn't mean that he would kill your father. As far as I know, although Hansen is scheming and ruthless, it's just in the business world. He draws a clear line between love and hate; he is also very shrewd. He would not be heartless toward someone who is not his enemy,1' Hannah analyzed carefully with her sharp eyes.
"But he treats me like his enemy!” Jenna thought to herself sadly and kept herself silent.
