"Jenna, really, I didn't plan on killing him. You know that I love you so much, why would I kill your dad?" Norton turned pale and said in fear. "All evidence points to you and you're still making up excuses." Jenna knew that he was unpredictable and wild. Of course, she would not fall for his lies. "Jenna, trust me." Jenna's disbelief struck his heart but he knew that she had no reason to believe him. He could only explain over and over, "Jenna, you have to believe me. I really didn't want your father will die; I never expected it to turn out like this." He suddenly lifted his chin up, his face painted with desperation. He said softly, "Jenna, I remember when I first saw you at a banquet in Ink Garden, I was still young but I fell in love with you. I swore that I must marry you as my wife. I thought about you every day and wanted to see you. No matter how stupid I am, I would never think of killing your father. This is truly from the bottom of my heart. Believe

"You only have one way to go now, that is to work with me. The victors make history. If we work together and have the power on our hands, everyone will have to follow us. No one will be able to stop us," Aria gave a confident smile and said. Work with her? Power? Norton knew what she was after and he could not help but shudder. No, he could not be involved with her again. He would be ruining himself if he continued. Besides, it was such an immoral thing to do. "Don't you want the inheritance right to Richards Manor? After this incident, it's impossible for you to retain your position in the Finance Department. I doubt that Vivian will give you the inheritance right either. Have you ever thought about your future?" Her eyes grew icy as she stared at him, asking in a chilly voice. She thought that he was dumb and she could make no use of this idiot. She had found him to be scheming and manipulative. She did not expect that when something happened, he would give up

"I see." Jenna could not help but ask, "Sabrina, do you come to Richards Manor often?" "Yes," Sabrina nodded and said briskly. "When Grandpa was still alive, I had to live in Richards Manor for a period of time every year. After I went to high school and got quite busy with my studies, I haven't come back for years. I remember Zoey was here too. We played together, it was a fun time. I came back last year but they weren t here anymore, therefore it was not as fun." "Oh." Jenna smiled and nodded, making calculations in her mind. The three years Sabrina was in high school was when she married Hansen, and then she went abroad, thus she missed the chance to meet her. That was why they did not know each other. "Then you're very close with Norton, I assume?" she asked tentatively. Sabrina blushed, a layer of shyness spread across her face as she smiled sheepishly. Embarrassed, she replied, "Yes, we knew each other since young, and we had a great time together."

"Come, sit down." Marissa pulled Sabrina onto the sofa with a big smile. "Sabrina, is General Delia in good health?" She hid no adoration towards Sabrina. Jenna knew that the reason for this was nothing more than a fancy to the power in General Delia's hands. Thinking of her father, she felt bitter. "He's doing great. Thank you for asking," Sabrina replied with a smile. She took a cup of tea from a servant and saw Jenna still standing. She beamed while saying, "Jenna, come sit down with us." Jenna thought about going to the second floor. It was obvious that she did not belong here. She always felt that she was an outsider. However, she was worried to leave Sabrina here alone. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down beside her. Hansen put down his briefcase before heading over as well, sitting next to Jenna. He stuck to her so closely that he might as well sit on her. Jenna's eyebrows were twisted and her body was tense. She was very uncomfortable with H

"Let you go?" Aria smiled devilishly. "If I let you go, what about all the money you embezzled? Do you think money is that easy to earn? The filming crew is already in a mess. Because of the excessive loss, someone has already filed a case with the authorities. As soon as the investigation starts, you'll be done for the embezzlement, not to mention your crimes in the past. It s impossible to deny it with the evidence and witnesses. Tell me, how can I help you by then? Why should I help you?" Minnie was struck by Aria's icy cold words, feeling as if they are an avalanche coming in her direction. She stepped back in fright and fell onto the ground limply, looking at Aria in horror. Five million? She had spent all the money. There was no way to get the money back even if she wanted to return it. Hansen had forced her family to return Javon's assets to Jenna. She could only count on Aria for more money. How could she be able to repay these debts? She was frightened
