Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Jenna, I don’t want to believe it either, but after so long, the only time I’ve heard about your father’s death is from them,” Hannah said affirmatively. “Don’t be naive, everything is possible. Try thinking about it. Didn’t your father’s death happen suddenly?”

“Yes, Dad is dead. He was indeed killed,” Jenna muttered to herself. “But no matter what, it’s impossible that he provoked the underworld.”

“Jenna, I also find it strange, but try thinking about it again. Has your father offended anyone?” Hannah kindly asked. “You don’t have to directly offend these people in the underworld. They only work for money. Someone might have hired them to take revenge on behalf of other people. You have to think about it in many ways as there are many things that are beyond imaginable in this world.”

Hannah’s words once again was a reminder to Jenna. She was right. Even if her father did not provoke the underworld, if someone wanted him to die, that person would definitely go to the underworld for help.

It was not difficult to make the conclusion that the person responsible was intelligent and powerful.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Hannah, tell me, what else did you hear? Do you have any clues to help me find out who the murderer was?” Jenna asked with red eyes while holding her hand tightly.

“Jenna, calm down. Now that you know that your father’s death wasn’t natural, the next question is, was it done by Brock and his gang? It is possible, but there is no evidence, and even if you know what they did, you can only report the crime to the police. What else can you do? The police are probably powerless in this, judging by how powerful the mastermind is. We might as well think about this from a new perspective. Why did Brock want your dad dead, and who’s the possible mastermind? You can’t go straight to them and ask them about it. It is impossible for them to even tell you as the rules of the underworld are very strict. You are a powerless and weak woman, but if you can find the mastermind who plotted against your father, everything becomes simpler. You can give the name to the police or even expose the name on social media. I think the law can play its role when it reaches this stage. By the way, Jenna, you might as well think about it when you go home. Everything in this world is related to interests. Ask your mother, whose interest did your father or your family threaten? They are the clues to your answer, and you must figure them out first.” Hannah’s analysis was very pertinent. Jenna listened carefully. She too had actually thought about it, otherwise, she would not have joined the Richards Group in the first place.

“Jenna, if this matter is only related to Brock and others, it will be easier to deal with. Try thinking about it. Who is Rayan Whalen? He is one of the world’s richest men, and the global mafia boss Jonas Smith is related to him. If you ask Rayan to help you out, it’s not difficult for you to find out what has happened.” Hannah mentioned Rayan again. It was just that she had a very good impression of Rayan and she thought that Jenna should build her relationship with Rayan.

Jenna walked out of Gently Cafeteria in a daze. The only information she got from Hannah was that her father’s death might be related to the underworld and a person named Brock Moore.

She didn’t know who Brock was or what he looked like.

Furthermore, she had just found out that the death of her father was related to the Richards Group’s car. Was Brock related to Richards Group as well? Did someone from the Richards Group hire him, or colluded with him, or hate her, thus transferring the grudge onto her father? If so, who would this person be? Of course, it might also be any politician in A City. After all, Javon was a politician, and there was always a possibility for him to offend someone, but all the clues she had now could not interconnect at all, and she was having a headache because of this.

Most importantly, evidence!

If it really had something to do with the underworld, Rayan might really be able to help her out, as Rayan’s fiancée was the daughter of the mafia boss, Jonas Smith. Furthermore, Rayan seemed to be unwilling to mention her in their conversations. After all, Rayan was a big shot of the upper-class society in Europe, and the underworld was just rumored to be related to him. If she needed a favor from him and involved him in this matter, would he be investigated by Interpol? His company was not related to the underworld at all, but it was likely to be implicated too.

Besides, she just liked him, but had no love for him. It was unreasonable for her to take advantage of him in this matter.

No, unless she had no other options, she would not ask him for help. Besides, she was still confused now. She had no clues so it was still too early to go to Rayan now.

When Jenna’s car drove into Richards Group, the entire Richards Group was already brightly lit. Richards Group that day was full of garden lights and the fountain was operating. The neon lights were flashing in an alternate fashion. The entire place looked extremely lively.

She actually spent a couple of hours outside doing nothing after the meeting with Hannah.

There was a total mess in her mind. She drove the car aimlessly around the streets and had been scolded by several drivers, but she had no idea what she was doing.

When she walked out of the parking lot, Hansen was standing by the road, waiting for her.

She stood staring at him in a daze too.

There was anxiety and worry on his face.

“Where have you been? I called you and you didn’t answer the phone. The secretary said that you went to a meeting, but I checked that there wasn’t one today.” Hansen saw that Jenna was absent-minded and was staring at him blankly. He couldn’t help but frown and question repeatedly.

Jenna’s confused state was very scary and it was very dangerous for her to drive like this. Hansen was very curious about what had happened and what she was thinking about.

Awakened by Hansen’s questioning, Jenna finally came to her senses and shook her head blankly.

“Let’s go, everyone is waiting for you.” Seeing her reaction, Hansen knew that he couldn’t get the answer even if he asked her now. He held her hand and got into the electric car.

“Wait for me? Where are we going?” Jenna asked in a daze, confused.

“Have you really forgotten everything?” Hansen looked at her in dissatisfaction. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid that his mother would blame her, he would not stand here personally waiting for her. What a heartless woman!

The lights in the garden were shining brightly, and Jenna soon came back her sense.

In order to strengthen the bond of the Richards family, all the descendants of the Richards family must attend a reunion dinner at the Ink Garden every month. No matter who it was, no matter how important the matter was, all of them had to join the dinner. On that evening, the lights at the central garden must be turned on to symbolize the prosperity of the Richard Manor. This was a rule left by the ancestors, and it had never changed for decades.

Jenna totally forgot about this.

She was still a member of the Richards family. Of course, she had to join the dinner as Hansen’s wife. Therefore, Hansen came back early that day but he still saw no signs of her. He was anxious and worried that she would be humiliated by other family members, so he came out and personally waited for her.

The electric car headed towards Ink Garden.

At the table sat all the family members of the Richards family. The entire lobby of the Ink Garden was brightly lit, and an exquisite dinner filled the entire table.

Everyone who was sitting at the dining table seemed to be waiting for her. Grandma was sitting at the seat of honor with her eyes closed, taking a rest.

Hansen took Jenna’s hand and walked in in a high-profile manner, causing everyone to look at them.

No one dared to show their displeasure, but they were secretly shocked to see Hansen protecting her.

It seemed like this playboy had really fallen in love with his ex-wife.

Jenna saw all eyes on her, so she felt a little panic in her heart. They were all waiting for her.

Aria did not come, obviously; she was not an official member of the family, so she could not attend a family dinner like this.

“You rude little kid. I asked Larry to inform you this morning and reminded you not to be late, but you still are. Do you think it’s appropriate for grandma and the other elders to wait for you?” Marissa said coldly. It’s already a shame to Green Jade Garden as they had to wait for Jenna for this family dinner. The rule was that everyone must be present before the meal. Marissa was very dissatisfied and thought that if it was Aria, she would have been there on time and she wouldn’t need to worry about it at all. In her opinion, Jenna was nothing compared to Aria, and she would only lose her face.

According to the rules, the ancestors of the Richards family always believed that the harmony of the family was the main priority in order to succeed in life, and that the family must gather together frequently, so that the family bond could be strengthened for a better family relationship. After all, harmony was a people-oriented concept. Therefore, this custom had been passed down in Richards Manor.

Jenna arrived late as the representative of Hansen’s house as well as the Green Jade Garden. There had always been famous fights between the houses, and they also valued face and dignity a lot. Therefore, Marissa felt that Jenna’s late arrival was a shame to Green Jade Garden and voiced her dissatisfaction at the moment. However, since grandma and Hansen were both presents, in order to quell the dissatisfaction between the houses, the short scolding was necessary.

“It’s exactly eight o’clock now. We are right on time; we are not late. There is something urgent in the company today so I let her handle it first. It won’t happen again next time,” Hansen responded to Marissa’s scolding on behalf of Jenna while holding her waist. With a grin, he didn’t take it seriously.

Jenna knew that she was wrong, so she did not dare to talk back. She could only smile and repeatedly apologize.

She knew that a lot of them did not want her to reconcile with Hansen, and there were a lot of people who wanted to see her make mistakes. In a wealthy family like the Richards family, interests were far more important than family relationships.

Hansen took Jenna to greet his grandma.

“Jenna, is everything okay in Richards Manor? Are you used to staying there?” Grandma Richards opened her cloudy eyes and asked lovingly.

“It’s great, Grandma. Mom and Hansen are treating me well,” Jenna gave a smile and responded loudly.

As soon as the voice fell, she heard someone laughing at her. She felt a little uncomfortable but her face looked calm.
