Chapter 190: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
Chapter 190 Poison and Bloodlines He even had a ridiculous thought . If he had known that accepting Sharon's help all those years ago would lead to this moment , would he still have agreed to it ? Jensen wasn't the type to waste time on such pointless hypotheticals . But for the first time , he couldn't help it . Realizing where his thoughts were drifting , he let out a weary sigh and said to Hansel , " Find a lawyer to follow her to the station . No matter what happens , make sure Sharon doesn't end up in prison .
" Whether it was the debt from five years ago or the fact that she now carried the title of Mrs. Luke , he couldn't allow Sharon to go to jail . Hansel nodded , though in his eyes there was only distaste and resentment toward Sharon . Miss Natalie had been with Mr. Jensen for five years , and there had never been this kind of chaos . But Sharon ? She had been Mrs. Luke for only a few days , and already the company's stock was tumbling , forcing Hansel into endless overtime . Still , he knew his place as an assistant . Complaints weren't his to voice .
Sharon , hearing that Jensen hadn't abandoned her completely , finally exhaled in relief . The police , seeing Jensen make no objection , also breathed easier as they escorted her away . Jensen watched the police car disappear down the road , and a wave of longing for Natalie washed over him . When he had been with her , none of this insanity had ever happened. But then Baron's face rose in his mind . Who exactly was that man ? Jensen sent a message to Hansel , ordering him to investigate Baron's background .
After receiving confirmation , he returned to Lanju , changed his clothes , and headed straight for Luke Corp. 1/3 The company's stock was falling fast , shareholders were restless , and as president , he had no choice but to face the storm . And yet , knowing all this chaos had somehow spun from Natalie's shadow left him with a knot of feelings he couldn't untangle . Natalie and Baron , meanwhile , didn't spare Sharon another thought . Once home , Baron carried the sleeping Natalie inside . Chris moved to speak but fell silent under Baron's warning glance .
Seeing Natalie asleep so peacefully , he quietly signaled the servants to move softly as well . The children rushed out the moment they heard their mother had returned , but one stern look from Baron stopped them cold . Susie's brows pinched together . " Bad Daddy . Always hogging Mommy ." Sean frowned too , but he knew it was pointless to fight Baron now . He tugged Susie's hand and pulled her back toward their room . Only when the two little buns were gone did Baron carry Natalie upstairs . He gently laid her on the bed , slipped off his shoes , and climbed in beside her .
The outside world could rage as much as it liked - he was staying here , holding his wife . Otherwise , she might feel afraid . That was how Baron justified it to himself as he wrapped her tightly in his arms and drifted off to sleep . At the police station , Sharon finally learned Lucy had betrayed her . She wished she could tear the woman apart , but there was nothing she could do now . How could this happen ? Was Lucy insane ? Why would she want to frame Natalie of all people ? Natalie .
It was the first time Sharon had heard the name spoken by the police , but when she saw the surveillance footage , her blood froze . 2/3 The woman was Natalie . At Cloud Café she hadn't looked closely , but those eyes , that expression - how could they be fake? And in the video , her mannerisms and face resembled Natalie by seventy percent . Coincidence ? Sharon didn't believe in such things . Her mother , Quincy , must have seen the same familiar face - that was why she had rushed over for a photo . That wretched old woman . Natalie was dead , yet she still clung to that face .
And what about her ? Sharon was her true , flesh - and - blood daughter . Hatred burned in Sharon's chest , but she knew now wasn't the time to lose control . " I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives . " She clung to the knowledge that Jensen had sent legal help . As long as he remembered the life debt between them , he would never abandon her completely . Hansel , however , could barely believe the depths of her cruelty . Was this woman even human ? He stepped outside at once , phone in hand , and called Jensen to report .
At Luke Corp , shareholders were screaming about the stock crash , giving Jensen a splitting headache . Hansel's call was almost a relief . He left the room , answered , and said curtly , " Speak ." " Mr. Jensen , it's bad . Ms. Summers ' case is more serious than we thought . It involves the Summers family itself . " Jensen's eyes flew open . " What did you say ? Sharon poisoned her own mother ? "
