Chapter 598:
He gaped at her in a daze, his voice thick with incredulity as he asked, “Jenessa, what did you just say? Can you repeat that p>
His expression relaxed Jenessa for some reason.
A small laugh burst from her lips. She nodded once and obliged, “Rick, I just said we could give dating a try p>
Richard’s face instantly lit up with a euphoric smile.
He wrapped his arms around her excitedly, his voice quivering with emotion as he blurted out, “That’s great. You’ve finally said yes p>
Jenessa tensed at his sudden embrace, but she forced herself to relax.
After a few minutes, Richard managed to rein in his emotions. He released Jenessa and regarded her with a smile.
“I’ll take you home to get some rest,” Richard held her hand and said tenderly.
“I’m over the moon that you’ve agreed to date me, but I don’t want you to worry about anything. We can move at a slow pace. For you, my patience is limitless p>
Jenessa was back home soon. Richard didn’t linger, simply saying, “I’ll pick you up for work tomorrow p>
“Okay.” Jenessa didn’t refuse and watched him leave.
Once Jenessa was in the solitude of her home, she was hit with a wave of bewilderment.
She made her way to the sofa and sat down, reflecting on the decision she had just made.
For a moment, she doubted if she had made the right choice.
However, her gaze then fell to her belly.
The one thing she was certain of was that she really didn’t want her children to become the target of disdain and bullying from the moment they were born.
Ryan had hurt her too much for a very long time, and it was unwise for her to return any residual feelings toward him.
Stories live now on
Perhaps, she could make a genuine effort to trust Richard and start a brand-new life.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, her expression slightly softened.
However, she didn’t know that after Richard dropped her off, he went to a dungeon to visit the punks who had tried to assault Jenessa.
When the punks’ eyes fell on Richard, they instantly fell to their knees and pleaded for mercy.
“Please spare us p>
Richard’s face was in the shadows, hiding his expression completely.
“You deserve a trip to the police station for your actions. How can I let you go so easily p>
The punks shook with fear at hearing this.
“No! Please don’t have us arrested! We were simply following orders! We’re innocent p>
“Oh? Following orders? Really?” Richard inquired in a deceptively soft voice.
Spotting a glimmer of hope, one of the punks quickly blurted out, “Yes! Of course, we’re telling the truth! Someone hired us to watch Jenessa and harass her when the opportunity appeared. Otherwise, we would never do something like this! We’re sincerely remorseful p>
Richard narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you know the name of the person who hired you p>
Silence hung heavy in the air. The punks didn’t know what to say.
After hesitating for a couple of minutes, one of them replied with a pained expression, “The person who hired us contacted us anonymously. So we don’t know who it was p>
The anxiety returned to their faces.
As they didn’t have any proof, their only choice was to make a desperate plea.
“Please let us go! We’re begging you! We will never dare to repeat this mistake p>
At that moment, Richard abruptly said, “Okay, I believe you p>
With a gesture, he ordered his men, “Release them p>
The punks were taken aback, but their bodies quickly sagged with relief as they beat a hasty retreat.
Richard’s subordinate watched the punks leave in astonishment and couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Sir, are we truly just going to let them walk away? If Ms. Wright discovers that we’re the ones who ordered these punks, the outcome could be disastrous p>
