Getting My Ex-wife Back

“You…” Norton was annoyed and infuriated. His face was livid and full of disgust.

“Hmph!” Aria snorted and said, “Norton, people like you don’t have the right to dislike me. Don’t think that I don’t know what you have done. Let me tell you. I’m well aware of it.”

Norton’s body stiffened and his expression changed. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he asked in a cold voice, “What do you mean?”

Aria took her hand off his shoulder and sat upright. She said with a smirk, “What is done by night appears by day.”

“What are you trying to say?” Norton stood up with his sullen face as he shouted.

“Hey, I didn’t say anything. What can I say? Why are you feeling guilty?” Aria waved her hand and smiled maliciously.

“Tell me, what the h*ll are you doing here?” Norton was relieved but he was already very impatient.

Aria took off her sunglasses, raised her eyebrows, and smiled charmingly, “Mr. Norton, why are you so agitated? Take a seat. Sit down and I’ll talk slowly. It’ll be good for both me and you.”

Helplessly, Norton had no choice but to sit down in suspicion. His body was still stiff.

“Tell me, my future sister-in-law,” said Norton with a mocking smirk on his face.

Hearing the word “sister-in-law”, Aria’s face turned pale and she was no longer smiling.

“Norton, I’m telling you clearly right now that Hansen can only marry me and I will be his only wife. You have to help me,” Aria said firmly, word for word, without any smile on her face.

Norton was stunned for a moment and said with a sinister smile, “That’s strange. He’s already divorced Jenna as you wish, and your parents have met a few days ago. Who else will he marry if he doesn’t marry you?”

There was a trace of uneasiness, nervousness, and anger on Aria’s face, and her eyes had a sharp gaze.

“But, I’ve heard that Grandma Richards will only acknowledge Jenna. Even if I marry Hansen, I wouldn’t be acknowledged as one of the family members,” she said with hatred and resentment.

“I see,” Norton let out a sigh of relief and laughed. He thought to himself, “If such a person like you were accepted into our family, it would be a disgrace to us. It seems that Grandma is wise enough to think of this.” He shrugged and said indifferently, “It is not a big deal, isn’t it? Why do you care about this? Isn’t it good enough that he’s your lawful husband and you’re his wife? Acknowledgment as our family member is just an illusory thing. What’s the big deal? You don’t lose anything by not being in it.”

When Aria saw Norton’s carefree expression, she could not help but feel anxious.

“No, Grandma must acknowledge me. Even if I am the legal wife, I will feel ashamed. I am the daughter of the A City Mayor McAdams, but I am not acknowledged by the family. I will even lose the right to inherit Richards Manor. I can’t let this happen. My father will be embarrassed if this happens,” Aria solemnly stated that she was determined to get it.

Norton sneered in his heart. For a woman like Aria, even he wouldn’t acknowledge her as a member of the Richards’ family, let alone his grandmother. Now, it was even uncertain whether Hansen would marry her or not. Since Jenna came back, Hansen seemed to be obsessed with Jenna and had grown cold towards Aria. Only a fool like Hansen would agree to marry her. As for Norton, he would not even consider taking Aria as his concubine.

When Hansen looked at Jenna, there was something burning in his eyes. Norton was a man as well. Of course, he knew exactly what it was intuitively.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself,” Norton scornfully said, “It’s still up to a woman to keep a man’s heart. I can’t do anything about these things. Of course, if Hansen promised to marry you, he’s already giving you a lot of face. You’d better not push your luck. Otherwise, if you end up with nothing, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

“What do you mean?” Although Norton’s words were unpleasant to the ear, they were exactly what Aria’s concerns were. Her face started to darken.

Aria was no match for Jenna at all. Norton despised Aria even more and said with a cold face, “Aria, you shouldn’t be too greedy.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Norton,” Aria bristled at Norton’s dismissive attitude, “Don’t be too full of yourself. We had a deal. You get Jenna and I get Hansen. We have to help each other. You are mocking me now. Stop pretending. Let me tell you. Ever since Jenna came back, Hansen’s attitude towards her was obvious. Jenna had always loved Hansen. You’re nothing to her. Don’t think that you will be fine if I don’t get Hansen. He will definitely go after Jenna. In the end, you will end up with nothing too.”

Norton had already expected Aria’s words. Since he saw Jenna’s attitude towards him, he knew the truth. However, he would not give up. Even if he had to marry her as a concubine, he would make her follow him willingly. What Aria said was right. Even if Jenna did not love Hansen, she would never fall in love with him.

In order to make Jenna completely give up on Hansen and come to him willingly, it would not be easy without Aria’s help. Thinking of that, his expression changed, “Tell me, what do you want from me? ”

“Norton, I heard rumors that Grandma Richards was going to give Jenna the inheritance of Richards Manor that belonged to Hansen. Think about it, Grandma Richards was thinking of giving the inheritance to an outsider but not a Richards. It just doesn’t make any sense,” Aria narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said in a low voice unwillingly.

“You know a lot of gossip,” Norton was shocked. He had never heard that, but Aria, an outsider, knew about his Grandma’s decision first. She was indeed scheming, despicable, and malicious. That woman only wanted to be the Young Madam of the Richards’ family. She was more vain and possessive than anyone else. Although Hansen was rich and powerful, she was not even willing to give up on the assets. She was nothing like Jenna. If it weren’t for the fact that he loved Jenna, he would prefer Jenna as his sister-in-law as meeting such an insatiable woman would not even be good for him later. He asked Aria, “So, what do you want to do?”

“Norton, cooperate with me and let me stay in Richards Manor,” Aria commanded forcefully, with no room for discussion.

“Do you really think that I am that capable?” Norton laughed, “My father doesn’t even have the right to change Grandma’s decision, let alone me. Moreover, you are marrying Hansen, not me. What can I do?”

“I don’t care. Since I want to be Richards’ family’s Young Madam, I must live in Richards Manor and be acknowledged as part of the family. You have to cooperate with me. I have my own way,” she stood up and said coldly, “Norton,  I know all the things you have done. If you don’t cooperate with me, you will meet your end miserably.”

At that point, she laughed and picked up her handbag on the sofa. She gave Norton a flying kiss flirtatiously and walked out of the office.

Norton was shocked and panicked. He stood there for a while, unable to get his head back on straight.

What on earth did she want to do? What did she know about what he had done?

Aria walked downstairs arrogantly. Hmph, Norton, don’t think you can go back on your words. She came to his office from time to time just to give him warnings so that he would feel scared!

She was driving her Lamborghini towards the International Kinsey Center when she was informed by her secretary, Minnie, that Hansen had returned to the office. She hadn’t seen him for several days after the press conference. Ever since Jenna reappeared in front of him, he had grown impatient with her and his patience with her was diminishing by the day. His burning gaze had never left Jenna. Even when he was setting up the venue for the press conference, he was favoring her. She was very upset and afraid of losing Hansen.

She did not believe that she would lose. She had to win.

In the office on the 88th floor of International Kinsey Center.

“Mr. Richards, it’s been taken care of,” Alvin walked into the office and reported.

“Good,” Hansen had a serious look on his face, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. “Alvin, find out the reason why Jenna wanted that car and what is the story behind it. I want to know the answer as soon as possible.”

Why did Jenna not care about her own life and rush recklessly toward a car that was about to be washed away by the river? Hansen had many questions in his mind. He now believed that she did not love money but cars instead. However, it was illogical that she would regard the car as being more important than her own life.

Her actions were too bizarre. Hansen had reason to believe that there must be some secrets that he didn’t know about. He could no longer let it go. There was something hidden from him, and it was just under his nose. Moreover, it had something to do with the Richards Group! He had a bad feeling about it!

Alvin nodded and left quickly.

As soon as he walked out, he came face to face with Aria. However, he did not even look at her and walked straight past her.

“Hansen, who was that person? How could he be so rude?” Aria was very displeased. She came in and yelled at Hansen. Hansen was staring at the computer and his fingers were busy tapping on the keyboard.

“Aria, why did you come in here without knocking on the door?” He frowned and his face was full of displeasure. The woman in front of him was so unruly. She thought that she could do whatever she wanted just because he trusted her. Hansen disliked it and found her attitude annoying.

“Hansen, we are getting married soon. Why do we have to be so formal?” Aria came over and gently put her hands on his neck and rested her breasts on his body. Her voice was coquettish and seductive.
