Chapter 325
"Your butler, he said that she left with you." Hansen answered, his tone indignant and righteous. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"So, just based off on that, you've become certain that I'm the one who took your woman away?" Rayan asked with a look of disdain. "First of all, Jen is not your woman. By law or in life, I won't agree to it. Secondly, yes, she did come out of the villa with me, but we went our separate ways after that. I went to the airport and she went to the train station. How would I know where she was headed to?"
Rayan shrugged, shook his head, and spread out his hands.
A glimmer of starlight flashed across Hansen's darkened eyes. Soon, it was enveloped in an even more intense gloominess.
"You're saying that she didn't stay with you at all, and that she didn't leave with you?" The joy that had just surged into his heart was quickly replaced by worry. Jenna really didn't stay with Rayan. This idea once again vindicated Trevor's judgment of Jenna and also proved that his guess was correct.
The child in Jenna's belly had not the slightest tie to Rayan. Otherwise, she would not have left alone.
Based on her personality, she would never stay with him. She was pregnant with a baby. How could she be a liability to a man's reputation?
Thinking of this, the joy in Hansen's heart superseded his hatred for Rayan. The child in Jenna's belly must be Hansen's.
"I would've rather she stayed with me, and I'm willing to take care of her for the rest of my life. However, her heart doesn't belong to me, and I can do nothing about it." The smile on Rayan's face
was lined with helplessness and sorrow.
Hansen's hand, gripping at the sofa, trembled faintly.
"Has she never loved you?" His voice was a little hoarse as he asked the confusion in his heart with difficulty.
"Hmph." Rayan sneered after a pause, his voice dripping with anger. "It turns out that the man Jen loves is still such a fool. No wonder she would rather live alone with her child, wandering in her hometown than to come back to you. At the very least, it was your lack of faith in her."
"What do you mean?" Hansen tightened his grip on the skin of the sofa, as if it was going to be ripped off by him.
"Did you really think that Jen was going to be with me? She begged me to put on a show, just to make you give up on her. She did this to prevent Earl and Aria from bringing down your Richards Group." Rayan put down the coffee in his hand. He was never a man of fickle temper, but at the moment, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were staring at Hansen, as if he was going to burn him. "In order to prevent Aria from harming your father, grandmother, and the Richards Group, she negotiated with Aria and voluntarily chose to leave you and handed over the inheritance of the Richards Manor. She only hoped that Aria could spare you. Even after telling you the truth, haven't you figured everything out?"
Negotiation? Did she deliberately make him give up on her? Hansen's face began to lose color. He really didn't know about these things, and Aria had never said anything about this.
However, his father was right. Without her cooperation, it would've been impossible to bring down Earl in such a short time.
At this point, his mind was completely transparent. A great sense of guilt and heartache rushed to his mind. He stood up and turned around to leave.
"What's wrong? Are you leaving just like that? Don't you have any further questions?" Rayan asked sarcastically.
Hansen paused for a moment and suddenly laughed. Similarly, he said sarcastically, "Since she doesn't like you and doesn't love you, surely she wouldn't even let you know where she is after she left. She hates me, and now that she's left me, she would hide her whereabouts from all those who may possibly know where she is. Of course, that includes you. There is absolutely no way to know her whereabouts now. Since that's the case, there's no need for any of us to waste our breath."
His words were decisive, but at the end of his words, he inevitably felt a little proud. After all, his Jenna had never loved Rayan, and that made his male ego soar.
"It's a pity that you're too late." Rayan sneered. "I don't know how a woman like her would thrive with a child, and I don't know how she is doing now either. However, I can't do anything about it. If you really love her, you should create the conditions favorable enough for her to come back."
These words were like an iron whip thrashing him, causing his heart to rapidly tighten. His gaze was firmly fixed on the ground.
How did a woman like her live with her pregnancy? No sooner had he thought about it than his mind caught in the thrall of madness. The suffocating anger in his heart drained the breath out of him.
What kind of suffering would his woman have to live through? It was hard to imagine.
Rayan's gaze was deep and sharp. With his back facing him, Hansen seemed to have dwindled. No matter how one looked at it, he appeared sad and desolate. His footsteps were heavy as he walked towards the door.
"Also, let me tell you. Jen's mother, Sara, was sent by my men to the airport in S City. According to my men, they met Miss Murphy at the airport, but that was all they had. Think about it," Rayan said when Hansen was about to step out of the room.
"S City?" Hansen muttered the name of the city, wanting to imprint it into his memory.
After returning to his office, he immediately turned on his computer and repeatedly checked the airport in S City. He was stunned shortly after. Not only did the airport in S City fly locally, but also across the globe. It was no less effective to look for someone like this than to find a needle in a haystack.
Nevertheless, no matter what, if there was a clue, he had to continue to investigate, even if it was a slim chance.
First, he quickly sent Alvin to the S City Airport and checked the guest list from there. He couldn't find any records of the guests who came by a few months ago.
It was possible for her to arrive in S City and take a train after. He then asked Alvin to go to the train station in S City. He called Christopher to inform the police in S City to search for the name 'Jenna Murphy' on the swarm of tickets all over the country. It was not hard for them to flag the name 'Jenna Murphy' out of the list, but there were a great deal of people with the same name. Nevertheless, on closer inspection, the train passed through many provinces, and this person named 'Jenna Murphy' had bought a train ticket to Ocean City. This one simple discovery sent Hansen into endless joy.
That was to say, she might have headed for Ocean City, a beautiful city. It was absolutely possible for her to choose to go there.
He packed up his things and traveled to Ocean City in person. Only after arriving at Ocean City did he find out how difficult it would be to search for one single person in such a big city.
Wandering at Ocean City's train station and the ticket purchase station, he had asked Christopher several times to have the police lend a hand in the search.
After a month of searching, he still got nothing. Gradually, his willpower faded away.
She was determined to leave him. The country was so big, and the whole world was bigger. How could he find her, unless she took the initiative to come back?
No matter, how could that be possible?
She hated him! Since she had left him, she would never come back!
