Chapter 10

Jenna Murphy fell to the ground, and the contempt in people's eyes made chills run through her body. She felt a piercing pain in her palm, and awarm liquid began flowing out. She knew that it was a broken piece of the wine glass that pricked into the flesh in her palm.

She was so numb that she barely felt the pain!

Her face was as pale as snow, and the forced smile on her face gradually stiffened. Fortunately, the flashing neon lights weren't very bright in thismoonlit night, so the unbearable pain on her face was somewhat concealed.

She was the one who asked for it. She deserved to be humiliated!It was her fault for being nosy. Minnie Murphy was right, whe gave someone as pathetic as her the right to mind another content persan’s business?

Tears welled up in Jenna's eyes as she clenched her teeth. She stood up under the curious gaze of all the onlooking Richards Group employees andacted as if nothing had happened.

Hansen Richards had suddenly appeared by the entrance at the rooftop. There was an unreadable glint in his eyes as he seemingly casually watchedfrom the outside.

Everyone was watching the dramatic scene, and no one noticed Hansen's arrival! It wasn't until Jenna walked through the crowd and went outside didthese people saw Hansen standing at the entrance.

Jenna's footsteps were weak, and her red lips were tightly shut as she walked out step by step.

Hansen's body was like a hulking iron wall that blocked her way out. The unique minty fragrance on his body mixed with the faint smell of tobacco.diffused in front of her. Despite the mixed smell of strong perfumes in the air, his special and pleasant smell still rushed straight into her nose.

Jenna immediately realized that Hansen was also here!Her heart became even colder.

He was here to see how much of a fool she was. He must have seen what had happened just now. In fact, he might've been the one who secretlymade Aria McAdams come over and humiliate her. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

A steam of pressure rushed to the top of her head. Everything in front of her was swaying, and her body was about to fall.

“You're here, Hansen." Aria's dark eyes instantly sparkled when she saw Hansen. She quickly ran forward and pressed against Hansen, thenwrapped her hand around Hansen's arm to cling to him.

"What happened? Why are you all standing around?" Hansen scanned the scene with his intimidating eyes and asked coldly. He was wearing anexpensive white T-shirt and a pair of black cropped pants, and his hair was handsomely slicked to the side. Casual clothes still looked regal andimposing on his tall and well-proportioned body.

“Hansen, Miss Murphy had a dispute with her cousin Minnie and they were fighting.”

Aria said in a sickeningly sweet voice and observed Hansen's expression carefully. When she saw a hint of suspicion in his eyes, she winked atMinnie.

Minnie was still lost in a daze from meeting the unbelievably handsome Hansen Richards that she had only heard about.

The attractive and wealthy Hansen Richards was the ideal husband for countless socialites in A City, and also the dream lover of many young girls.

Minnie hadn't imagined meeting himhere tonight in her wildest dreams,and she was ata loss for words.Aria shot hersmiling out frigid eyestowards het-and Minnie finally =~snappeciout of it when she saw thecold glifit in her eyes. She quicklywreathed herself in fawning smilesbefore she chimed in, "Mr. Richards,M8. McAdams brought mé here tohave some fun today, but I wasscolded by my cousin who tried tohurt me.

He raised his handsome eyebrows and glanced indifferently at the feeble woman standing in front of him, whe looked like a candle in the wind. Acondescending expression appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that this woman would get into a violent fight in public without any regard for her reputation. From what he knew, although Jennacould sometimes be a little harsh, she was never this vulgar.novelbin

"Is that so?" He looked daggers at Jenna with his icy eyes as he asked in a frigid voice.

A sad and self- deprecating smile appeared on Jenna's face. The wound in her palm from being stabbed by a shard of glass was burning with pain.Failing to endure the pain, she clenched her hands and feebly leaned against the railing in the corridor like a fragile porcelain doll.

However, there was still a cold smile on her face. Her head was calm and rational, and she didn't say a word. She just emotionlessly looked into hiseyes.

She has been exhausted for the past few days and hasn't had a single good night's sleep. She was suffering and miserable even in her dreamsShe didn't even bother to dispute Minnie's slanderous claims. Hansen obviously didn't see everything, but he had never believed her anyway.

It was useless to argue, and an explanation would be even more futile.

She was just so tired!

Blood slowly dripped down between her fingers, and Jenna's dark eyes were filled with nothing but endless cold. No one cared about her injury.Hansen was looking at her with callous and scornful eyes.

"I didn't expect a top-tier world-class designer to be so narrow-minded and vulgar. How embarrassing." Hansen's icy voice sent shivers throughJenna's whole body. She's like a fragile flower being destroyed by the wind and snow, which would fall apart the next second.
