Chapter 276 Bad News
Aria sighed. He did not know who she was referring to. Hence, she put on a sweet smile and said, “Donald, don’t flatter me. I know a woman who is more important than me in A city. Donald, you are handsome and remarkable. You two will look good together. Why don’t I introduce her to you? You guys will make a perfect couple.”
Donald didn’t have a girlfriend. He was interested when he heard her suggestion. The person must be remarkable if she could be praised by Aria. He chuckled. “Miss McAdams, I’ll be more than happy to meet her. However, may I know who is she? Who could be more important than you?”
Aria glanced up at him with a mischievous smile.
“Donald, I’m not lying to you. She is really one of a kind. It depends whether you have the guts to court her.”
After all, Donald was a man. Hearing her tease, he smiled and said, “I’m willing to take up the challenge.”
“Well, since you are sincere, I will tell you who she is. Once you succeed, just remember to treat me.” Noticing that he was interested, Aria went straight to the point. “Donald, do you remember that day? The girl who was in my ward. Didn’t you ask whether she is my relative or friend?”
“Which girl?” Donald seemed to have forgotten.
“It’s the girl who was in my ward a few days ago. Donald, you are so funny. You said you wanted to court her, but you forgot about her. You are such a gentleman. Only one woman visited my ward.”
“Are you talking about her?” Donald thought for a long time and suddenly pointed towards Minnie.
Aria laughed when she heard what he said. “Donald, you sure have a good memory. She does look like her but there are some differences. This is Minnie, she is working for me. The woman I was referring to is called Jenna. She is Minnie’s cousin, the daughter of the former Minister of Finance. Currently, she is the world’s top car designer. Don’t tell me you never heard about her. She’s all over the news.”
No wonder he thought she looked familiar, Donald thought to himself and chuckled.
However, he never paid attention to the news. It wasn’t because he was not interested in the gossip but he was too busy. He glanced at Minnie. Aria was right. Although they shared some similarities, there were still a lot of differences. He remembered the first time he saw Jenna, she was checking whether she was pregnant and he was amazed by her beauty. He remembered her at first glance. He recognized her at once when he saw her in Aria’s ward.
He smiled when he thought of her but he knew he did not have a chance. He said calmly, “Miss McAdams, don’t pull my legs anymore. She is stunning but she already has a boyfriend.”
“How do you know that she has a boyfriend? Impossible!” Aria pretended to be shocked. “She was with me all the time. I’m pretty sure she does not have a boyfriend. Don’t bluff me.”
“Miss McAdams, you are overly confident. You don’t seem to understand her very well. Don’t introduce her to any other men in the future,” Donald reminded her. A smile crossed his face.
“How can you be so sure? If she has a boyfriend and dares to keep it a secret from me, I will go and demand an explanation. Donald, why don’t you tell me who’s her boyfriend? I can go and confront her.” Aria blinked her eyes and pretended to be hurt.
Donald didn’t know what was on her mind. He thought she was just fooling around.
He said casually, “I don’t know who her boyfriend is. I only know that she is pregnant. If a woman is pregnant although she is not married, she must have a boyfriend.”
“What, pregnant? Are you sure?” Aria’s expression darkened. She guessed it correctly. Nevertheless, it still struck her dumb.
Donald finally realized that he had revealed too much information and stopped himself. He reminded her to take care of herself and left.
Looking shocked, Aria and Minnie exchanged glances.
According to Donald, Jenna was pregnant!
If this was true, what did it mean?
Aria did not dare to think about it anymore.
“Ms. McAdams, can we trust what he said?” Minnie questioned.
“Of course, we can. This is the truth. He did not say it on his own accord, I tricked him into saying the truth.” Aria’s face turned ashen as she murmured.
“If that’s the case, who is the father? Mr. Richards?” Minnie was still confused.
Aria’s eyes glowered with savage fire.
If it was true, then it would be impossible for her to marry Hansen. Jenna had his child. There was no way Hansen would compromise and marry Aria.
This posed a huge threat to Aria.
Her face fell.
“Don’t tell anyone about this for the time being. You have to return to Richards Manor and check what’s happening,” Aria instructed.
Minnie was shocked by the news.
It never crossed her mind that Jenna would be pregnant. She hurried away upon receiving the orders.
As soon as Minnie left, Aria made a call.
“Norton, how is your business going on?” she asked in a low voice.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Norton was busy preparing for the New Year’s banquet with Sabrina. Ever since he was with Sabrina, he started to enjoy life. He was on cloud nine every day. It was something he had never experienced before. Sabrina was cheerful and optimistic; it affected him greatly.
Norton was used to living in the dark and he was starting to get used to his new life. He started to appreciate freedom and was getting fearful of imprisonment. He cherished Sabrina from the bottom of his heart.
When Jenna was around, he dared not get too close to Sabrina. Currently, he literally followed Sabrina around. He would be on pins and needles if she was not around.
They became closer. They were always together in Richards Manor. Anyone could see that they were madly in love.
Hence, he was annoyed when he received the call from Aria.
“What do you want?” He walked to the side and asked in a low voice.
“Why?” Aria sneered and said sharply, “You might have Sabrina now but don’t get your hopes up. Things are not as good as you think. If you don’t follow what I say, you have no chance of survival.”
“Aria, don’t be too greedy. Jenna has already been driven out of the Richards Family and your wedding with Hansen is just around the corner. What else do you want?” Norton demanded. He did not want to hurt anyone anymore.
“Norton, let me warn you, if anything happens to my wedding, I will not let you off easily. Remember, Trevor is not allowed to wake up before our marriage. Don’t forget. If he wakes up, you will be doomed. He knows everything. If the truth is revealed, you know what would happen to your wedding,” Aria threatened him.
Norton’s face turned pale and beads of sweat collected on his forehead.
“Norton, only if he dies can we rise in the family in the future. If I manage to marry Hansen and Jenna leaves A city, I will let your matter slide. I’ll ask my dad to handle it. We would both be safe and live happily. What do you think?” Aria sneered, knowing that Norton was frightened after she didn’t get a response from him.
“Remember what you promised.” After a while, Norton glanced at Sabrina who was busy making preparations and gritted his teeth. He had made his decision.
“Of course, after all, we are on the same boat.” Aria laughed.
Norton was disgusted by her behavior but he clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Trevor will not recover. I have pulled out his tube every day. He can’t wake up.”
“Okay, this is what I want. That’s all, I will find you if I need anything else. Accompany Sabrina for the time being.” Aria laughed in satisfaction and ended the call.
The snowflakes were falling from the sky, appearing like thousands of butterflies as they landed on the windows and floated elsewhere the next second. Such a sight made the grey skies look even mystifying.
Jenna looked out of the window in silence but she was in distress.
She only ate a little for breakfast. Despite Hansen’s threat, she only managed to gobble up a sandwich. Hansen was flustered.
How could she get enough nutrition if she didn’t eat? Hansen thought.
He comforted her and attempted to resolve all her concerns the night before. He was being gentle and considerate.
But so far, she still paid no heed to him. Although she looked all right, something seemed to trouble her. He couldn’t figure out what it was.
Hansen’s patience wore thin seeing Jenna’s behavior. He never thought such a frail woman would be able to drive him crazy.
