Chapter 58 Out of The Blue
“Young Master Richards, where did you have fun last night? You left us here and now you’re waking us up so early in the morning. How could you be so mean?” One of the guys said while lying on the sofa, rubbing his eyes.
Hansen walked over and kicked his butt.
“Get up. What time is it now? Be serious, all of you. The day is only getting started.”
“Really?” All of a sudden, those guys opened their eyes and asked with great joy, “Are we still going on an expedition to the isolated island? Are you going to invite the celebrities along?”
Hansen sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, rolled his eyes at them, and snorted, “You wish. I don’t want those celebrities with us on this expedition. Bring your wives and call them over quickly. Hurry up.”
Hansen began to give orders.
“Why?” The three guys looked surprised and began to complain, “We rarely get together this year as we’ve been busy every day. It’s a rare chance for us to have time to relax, but now you’re asking us to bring our wives with us? How can we have fun like that? How uncomfortable!”
They complained one after another, their faces full of reluctance.
“What I said is an order. Hurry up, or you don’t have to go anymore,” Hansen looked impatient.
“Don’t, don’t,” the guys shook their heads hurriedly when they heard that. The expedition to the isolated island shown on TV was sponsored by the Richards Group. It was currently the most popular entertainment.
There were several small islands in the sea, all of which had been bought by Hansen. Ordinary people would not have the chance to enjoy it and could only watch it on TV or pay a lot of money. However, without Hansen’s approval, they would not be able to go to the islands either.
This kind of show was currently the most popular program on TV. The shows would invite popular celebrities to come to the islands for some adventure. It was exciting and an effective way of advertising. Of course, only Hansen could come up with the brilliant idea.
They had been wanting to try the island adventure for a long time, but Hansen wouldn’t let them in, so they could not do anything. Finally, Hansen had agreed to it and they were all over the moon.
Sigh, even if the celebrities were not invited, they were all playboys. The invited celebrities might have already slept with other people, so they didn’t care much about them either.
They all took out their mobile phones.
Jenna knew the three of them. The one in the middle, wearing a red T-shirt, was Frederic Newton, the son of A City’s financial magnate. The one to his left, who was still lying, was David Wyld, the son of A City’s municipal party secretary, and the one to his right was Chester Richards, the country’s largest manufacturing magnate.
Frederic was Hansen’s childhood friend. The three of them listened to everything Hansen said. When Hansen gave an order, they would obey his orders without hesitation.
At that point, Jenna understood why Hansen had brought her there.
Was he going to take her out on a trip? Would he be so kind?
Thinking of how he toyed with her a few years ago, she still had a lingering fear. However, Hansen told them to only bring their wives today, which was beyond her expectation. She looked at him in silence.
“Quickly go and clean up the mess, lest you make a fool of yourself in front of your wives. If word gets back to our homes, we will be in trouble,” Chester, who was most afraid of his wife, stood up and shouted at them.
There was a burst of laughter in a moment, and even Hansen laughed.
Chester started from scratch and his wife had been by his side along the way. His wife was smart and capable, and in fact, he respected her very much. Although he occasionally played outside, he never brought a woman home for the night. They had two sons and a daughter together and lived a happy life. Although he played around occasionally, he never wanted to be misunderstood by his wife.
David hadn’t gotten married yet, so he invited a woman he was close with. He intended to marry her, but the idea was opposed by his father, Zach Wyld. Therefore, he could not do anything but to put the matter aside.
“Now I’ll give you a chance to look good so be sure to perform well,” Hansen sat on the sofa, with his legs slightly crossed and his eyes smiling.
Although they laughed along with the others on their faces, they secretly complained in their hearts.
Frederic was the one who started the event, so he was naturally the most enthusiastic one. After a while, he took out a gun from the room and was eager to have a try.
“No, there are rules on the island. Each person can only prepare something and the deadline is three days. This is different from how you used to do it so you guys better be prepared,” Hansen saw the real gun in Frederic’s hand and quickly stopped him. Sometimes, Frederic would act rashly. If he took the gun with him, something bad might happen later.
“Don’t be unreasonable. I just want to try the real thing and have an exciting adventure,” Frederic was full of bitterness and frustration.
David, the youngest of all, was playing dead on the sofa initially when he heard what Frederic said. He was adventurous and his blood began to boil after hearing that. He was getting excited and looking forward to the expedition.
It seemed that she was going to stay on the island for a few days. Jenna’s heart was pounding fast. In fact, she was not against the idea. The island was uniquely scenic and more attractive than the suburbs.
It seemed that although Hansen worked very hard, he also played hard.
Only those who knew how to enjoy life could work so hard!
With a smile on her face, she met Hansen’s gaze on her. She blushed and turned her head away.
Her expression did not escape Hansen’s eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly quirked up, learning that she really did like the event he had prepared for her.
The doorbell rang, and the manager came in with two women.
One was Chester’s wife, Carol, and the other woman was Frederic’s wife, Annie.
Carol was decent-looking and looked a little mature. She had a smart and capable look and was always polite to everyone. On the other hand, Annie, who was in her late twenties, was dressed in finery, of average looks, and yet seemed affluent.
Jenna knew that the marriages of the rich and powerful families were not based on love, but only on political and family interests. It’s obvious that Annie was not Frederic’s type. They had to marry each other for some specific interests, which was why Frederic always played around with other women frequently.
Jenna greeted them politely with a nod.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
They looked at Jenna from top to bottom with a dry smile. Jenna knew that they must know her identity. After the press conference, it was impossible for anyone from A city to not know who she was.
She, a divorced woman who had been jilted by a man from a wealthy family, was naturally not on their level. The most important thing for women from the wealthy families were their identities as the first wife to their husbands.
The status of the first wife in the family was unshakable. No matter how much a man was having an affair outside, the wife was always in the most conspicuous position, especially in A City. Although the men could fool around with other women, there could only be one first wife.
Therefore, the first wives would, more or less, look down upon women who were mistresses or concubines. They could not experience the feeling at home during ordinary times, but once they were brought out to such occasions, it was time for them to shine, which could be seen when they looked at Jenna.
“Sit down, all of you,” of course, none of those escaped from Hansen’s eyes. His sword-shaped eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his cold gaze swept over them. He pointed towards the seats next to them, and his voice was calm, but his tone made people feel uneasy.
Of course they knew of Hansen’s prestige. Their husbands had a lot of businesses that relied on the support of the richest man in A city. They did not dare to offend the commercial tycoon who was developing rapidly. Hansen’s economic clout had grown considerably with the success of the press conference alone.
As expected, they were all smart people. Hearing Hansen’s words, they quickly understood and took back their disrespectful gazes on Jenna. They smiled politely at Jenna and motioned for her to sit down before daring to sit down.
“Mr. Richards, you’ll have to go easy on us during the expedition. Our wives are not very dexterous and know nothing about surviving in the wild. They are not as smart and capable as Miss Murphy,” Frederic had already noticed Hansen’s expression, so he understood and hurriedly flattered him with a smile.
The coldness in Hansen’s eyes flickered away, and he proudly held his head up and accepted the compliments generously.
Regardless of who he brought, as long as the woman he brought with him was one who was invited by him, he would not allow others to look down on her. That was Hansen’s personality.
In the middle of the conversation, two more women came in after a knock on the door.
It would have been better if Jenna hadn’t look as she was so shocked that her face turned pale after seeing those who entered.
One of them was David’s girlfriend, Gina, who looked sweet and cute, while the other person left Jenna in a daze.
She was Rayan’s fiancée, Hilda.
Her long hair was tied up to her shoulders and she was wearing a fine chiffon dress, which showed off her elegance in her actions.
Jenna never expected to meet her there.
After a while, she finally understood!
It seemed that Hansen was looking for an opportunity to humiliate her again.
Since when did he become so kind?
There was a cold smile on her face.
At that moment, Hansen was shocked to see Gina had walked in with Hilda as he never thought that Gina would bring Hilda along.
This time, he really did want to bring Jenna out for a vacation. He didn’t have any ill intentions. After all, Jenna had been working hard for the press conference. He just wanted to reward her and had no intention of embarrassing her.
But that’s apparently not the case anymore!
When he saw the cold light in her eyes and the cold smile on her face, he panicked!
Jenna stared at him with her cold eyes, which made him very awkward. But on second thought, it’s not like he purposely invited her over and he had no idea at all. Why should he be misunderstood by her?
“Miss Smith is also here,” although Chester was surprised, he greeted Hilda politely.
Everyone in the circle knew that Hilda was Rayan’s titular fiancée. She was not only the fiancée of the god-level figure but also the daughter of the global mafia boss, Jonas. They would not dare to offend her at all.
Hilda smiled brightly as she greeted everyone. She reached out to shake hands with Jenna and the ladies. She was polite and didn’t have any prejudice towards Jenna at all. She was even very friendly to Jenna.
