Baron only smiled . " Just remember to design a few extra things for me later ." " Of course , " she agreed without hesitation . He would have liked to stay with her longer , but the thought of the so - called authorization contract and Jensen's scheming - forced him away . He went straight to Susie . - " Princess , do Daddy a favor and I'll add an extra chicken leg to your dinner ." " Deal .
" Now that her secret was out , Susie no longer bothered to hide her talent . Her tiny hands danced across the keyboard . " Daddy , buy me my own laptop . The best one ." " No problem ." Sean , unwilling to be left out , darted over . " Daddy , then you'd better bring me back some rare poison plants . You can't play favorites . " Baron shoved his son's head aside . " We'll talk about that later . " " Then I'll go ask Mommy , " Sean threatened . Baron scowled . " Don't you dare ! " In the end , he gave in , agreeing to the poison plants .
While father and son bickered , Susie had already hacked into Natalie's old laptop at the Grand Pavilion . In minutes she copied all of Natalie's designs and drafts , sent them to Baron's email , and planted a virus . The machine shorted , smoked , and died on the spot . Next she moved on Jensen's system . At that moment , Jensen was still fuming over his cloud drive lockout when his phone froze completely . No matter what he tried , it wouldn't respond . " Damn it ! Bastard ! " He shook with rage and called Hansel . " Get me the best hacker there is ! My phone's been hacked !
" Hansel , startled by his fury , quickly summoned the security department . 1/3 19:16 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 138 Severing the Chains 46 +10 Free Coins Meanwhile , Susie slipped through his devices like they were an open field . Before long she found what she was looking for : the authorization contract Natalie had mentioned . " Daddy , is this it ? " She pushed the screen toward him . Baron's jaw tightened as he read . It was indeed an authorization agreement - one that granted Jensen exclusive rights to everything Sunny ever designed . Baron's face darkened .
Jensen had deliberately avoided tying the contract to Luke Corp , binding it only to himself . If he ever left the company , Sunny's work would go with him . And nowhere in the agreement was there any mention of royalties or compensation . It was outright exploitation . Natalie had given him her trust , her talent , her devotion . And he had shackled her with this parasitic document , only to plan to hand all her brilliance to Sharon . Baron's fury simmered so hot it nearly spilled over . He wanted Jensen's head on a platter . " Destroy it .
Completely ." " No problem ." Susie tapped a few keys , and the contract dissolved into nothing . Baron finally exhaled , some of the tightness in his chest easing . " Good girl . Now wipe the trail . need me to have someone cover your tracks ? " Do you Susie waved a tiny hand . " Relax . Even if they chase the trace , they'll never find me . I routed everything through an overseas hub . They can't pin me down . " Baron's heart swelled with pride . " Excellent ." He kissed the top of her head and strode off to Natalie's room . " I've recovered your designs , " he said .
" And I destroyed the authorization contract with Jensen . From now on , you have no ties to him . Your work is yours alone . " He forwarded the files from his email to hers . Natalie stared at her reclaimed designs , her chest tightening . " My old laptop ... ? " " Gone . Even if someone repairs it , the contents are wiped clean . No one will touch your work again ." Only then did she let out a long breath , relief softening her features into a smile . 2/3 19:16 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 138 Severing the Chains " Baron ," she murmured , " if I didn't have you , how could I possibly survive ?
" Her words sent his heart thundering , wild as a caged animal desperate to break free .
