Beauty, Waiting for Your Love

Chapter 9

Hansen Richards's harsh words made Aria McAdams'’s face turn pale. This was the first time she was seeing Hansen get mad in front of her in a long time, and it was because of that woman. Her heart was burning with rage.

She was well aware of Hansen's uncompromising personality, so she knew that she couldn't bring up this problem in front of him again. Otherwise. the engagement would be in danger if she pissed him off.

She had put in so much blood and sweat and worked so hard for her marriage. Everything was going great. until this woman unexpectedly appeared like a ghost from the past, and was even invited to work at a Richards Group office. How could she let it slide? She couldn't let this woman ruin her bright future.

She didn't want to, and couldn't afford to miss out on such a perfect opportunity.

She loved Hansen, who could only belong to her.

They were already divorced, and Hansen had agreed to marry her, that was enough. There was no need to push things too hard!

Aria wiped away her tears and did a new makeup look. A radiant smile appeared on her face, but the light in her eyes was cold as ice. "Jenna Murphy, just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you. I will kick you out of the Richards Group forever." She cursed in her heart. Inside the fanciest karaoke in A City, the room was dark as colorful lights flashed around this super fun and lively party.

Jenna emotionlessly sat in the corner with a resigned smile on her face.

The Richards Group threw a party for her tonight to celebrate her becoming a member of the company.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

She didn't want to come at all, but Perrie incessantly pushed her to go. The assistant was extremely stubborn, so she had to force herself to come. Most importantly, she knew that Hansen would never bother to take part in events like this, so it didn't matter since she won't see him anyway.

The clamorous noise and laughter made Jenna’s head buzz with dizziness, and she also felt very nauseous. She stood up and walked out of the room. She looked lithe and graceful in her light green dress

The karaoke suite was connected to an empty outdoor stage. Lush green trees swayed in the breeze beside the stage, and a crescent moon was hanging high in the sky.

The faint aroma of French red wine wafted through the wind. Jenna walked out of the private room as a breeze mixed with the smell of fine wine blew past the wisps of hair in front of her forehead, cooling her down a little. She relaxed her eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief. She was in a much better mood now.

This high- end club was the most expensive and luxurious spending facility in A City. Every single person who entered this place was a top-class elite of A City, the place was exclusively for the wealthy and superior. The Richards Group, which was the top financial group in A City, threw all kinds of parties here every year. including their annual new year party and all the welcome bashes.

It was an amazing honor for every young talent in A City to be able to work at the Richards Group.

Jenna casually walked through the club. As the darling daughter of the Murphy family, she was used to places like this.

Silvery sounds of laughter streamed into her ears like floating clouds.

Jenna stopped dead in her tracks, and her eyes were shrouded in a dim light.

Aria, who was extravagantly dressed up, was walking gracefully towards her with her sylphlike figure, and her pretty laughter flowed through the air.

There was a charming and confident smile on her face. the smile reached her eyes and sparkled. However, Jenna could feel an ominous chill from the shining light in her glistening dark eyes.

They encountered each other on this narrow path and stood face to face! Jenna’s heart suddenly sank and she avoided eye contact with her. But the other beautiful figure next to Aria made Jenna's eyes widen even further. Jenna was flabbergasted when she met her arrogant gaze.

The woman standing beside Aria was wearing a sexy slip dress and extremely heavy makeup on her face. She looked obscenely glamorous, and was glaring at Jenna with cold disdainful eyes and a cocky expression.

"Minnie Murphy, why are you here?" Jenna exclaimed. The hazy lights reflected on Minnie Murphy's stunning yet still adolescent face, making her look strangely ethereal.

"Why can't I be here?" Minnie raised her eyebrows and replied defiantly and insolently, “Did you think that you were the only one who deserved to be at fancy places like this?"

"You..." Jenna was speechless for a moment. She-didn’ t expect Minnie to be this shaltow, and the reality made her feel incredibly sad. Although her uncle’ s.entire family had betrayed her and stolen her family's weatth, Miniie was still her cousin and a member of the Murphy family after all, she at least deserved fo be admonished.

But why was Minnie hanging out with Aria? She had just turned eighteen years old, shouldn't she be in school?

Aria was a careful, arrogant, and vicious woman. Someone as ambitious and blindly focused on climbing the social ladder as Minnie wouldn't understand the danger she is in

Minnie's eyes were filled with admiration as she stood happily beside Aria and desperately flattered and fawned over her.

Jenna laughed grimly on the inside. She could at least give her some advice. 1 «rheRichards Group had . booked the whole place for tonight This was supposed to be the night wherea I the men and women ‘could freely laugh and play and de-stress and release themselves with no holds barred, they were Maving the time of their lives! to

But as soon as Aria arrived, the entire room fell silent. Everyone watched her movements. No one expected Aria ta be here. she usually considered herself to be above employee parties such as this one.

"Hello, Ms. McAdams.” Everyone unanimously and respectfully greeted her. Aria raised her head and smiled slightly. She nodded and looked like a queen.

"Jenna, where are you going? Are you satisfied with tonight's welcome bash?" Aria’s face was plastered with smiles as she blocked Jenna’s way and asked in a concerned tone, like a boss greeting their subordinate.

Jenna was unfazed and smiled indifferently, but her eyes looked towards Minnie. She reached out and grabbed Minnie's hand. "Minnie, come with me. You shouldn't be here, go home now."

She put in so much strength that she gripped onto Minnie and was about to drag her outside.

Minnie's face was filled with disgust as she shouted loudly and announced to the world, "Did you think that Hansen would fall in love with you if you planted your feet in the Richards Group? Dream on."

She scowled at her with her smug eyes, and her face was full of conceit and contempt.

Jenna was pushed away and fell heavily onto the ground. She accidentally bumped into someone who was holding a wine glass behind her, and the glass was also shattered into pieces on the ground with a loud crash.

All the onlookers were stunned! Soon after, all the people present whispered,

"So she is Mr. Richards's ex-wife that people were talking about.”

"Tsk tsk. I heard that Mr. Richards hated his wife and never went home.”

"So she was the unloved wife. I heard that she never appeared together with Mr. Richards.”

"But she isn't as ugly as people said she was! She's really pretty and elegant. Why didn’t Mr. Richards like her?” "Ah, what a poor woman. Still thrown away by Mr. Richards in the end.”

She was surrounded by all kinds of awful comments. All of them turned their eyes towards Jenna on the ground, and their eyes contained surprise, wariness, contempt, sympathy... No one took the initiative to help her.

They wouldn't dare to attend to the woman who was hated by Mr. Richards himself!
