Chapter 196: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
Chapter 196 Collapse For the first time , Hansel made his disgust crystal clear . Sharon never imagined he'd dare lay a hand on her . She crashed against the coffee table , pain shooting through her lower back . Hearing his words on top of that made her so furious she nearly exploded . " Hansel ! How dare you talk to me like that ! Just wait - I'll make Jensen fire you ! " The only reply was the slam of the door as he left . Sharon scrambled up like a madwoman , wanting to chase after him , but the door outside was locked , and bodyguards stood guard in every direction . It was obvious .
She was under house arrest . " Let me out ! Do you know who I am ? Open this door ! " Not one of the guards even flinched . Sharon collapsed onto the floor . Everything had happened too fast . She hadn't even had time to react . How had it come to this ? She'd schemed against Natalie , yet somehow she was the one suffering instead . And now Jensen was thinking of sending her abroad ? If she left the country , would she ever be able to come back ? No. She wouldn't . She wasn't even sure if she'd survive at all . The Summers family's poisoning scandal was already e xposed .
Even though they'd faked evidence to get her out , Sharon knew Jordan and Quincy would never trust her again . Even if Jensen didn't send her away , she couldn't go back to the Summers home . 1/3 Those two would get rid of her themselves . She couldn't accept it . She hadn't endured all this just to end up with nothing but an empty title of Mrs. Luke . In a panic , Sharon pulled out her phone and dialed a number . " Sir , you have to save me . Otherwise I'm finished . If you help me , I'll do anything you want . " The voice on the other end gave her a firm promise .
Only then did Sharon breathe easier , slumping weakly to the floor . Meanwhile , Natalie and Baron had no idea about the storm brewing outside . The two of them played with Susie and Sean like children , running wild together . From the carousel to the roller coaster to the pirate ship , they rode every attraction with the kids . Natalie had thought they might be too young to handle the thrill rides , but they turned out to be more excited than the adults . Seeing their laughter , Natalie felt deeply content . " Daddy , Mommy , I'm thirsty . I want what that kid has .
" It was Susie's first time out with both her parents . She used to envy the kids on TV who had moms and dads taking them to play . Now her wish had come true . And if she could drink something as simple as the yogurt other kids had , the day would be even more perfect . Sean chuckled at her greedy little face . " I'll get it for you . " " Be careful . Let's go together , " Natalie said . But just as the words left her mouth , commotion rippled through the crowd . She instinctively scooped Susie into her arms - only to see Baron sprint toward Sean like a man possessed .
Natalie's heart lurched . She lifted her head , and the sight before her made her blood run cold . 2/3 One of the rides in the distance had suddenly collapsed , crashing straight toward Baron and Sean's direction . " Baron ! Sean ! Look out ! " Her scream tore through the air as she tried to run with Susie in her arms , but a bodyguard blocked her path . " Madam , it's too dangerous . Protect Miss first . Mr. Baron ordered that no matter what happens , you and Miss must not be put at risk . " The guard's words forced her to think clearly for a moment . He was right .
She was helpless in a crisis . If she rushed in , she might only get in the way . But how could she just stand there and watch ? " Go ! Help them ! Forget about us - go ! " Tears blurred her eyes . Even Susie was trembling , clutching her clothes tightly . " Mommy , Daddy and Brother will be okay , right ? " " Yes . They'll be fine . " Her voice was steady , but her gaze never left Baron and Sean . Thank God , Baron's reflexes were fast . The moment the ride gave way , he had already reached Sean . He scooped him up and turned , running full speed toward safety .
But everything happened too quickly . The ride fell too fast . Before he could make it out of range , the massive structure came crashing down . Screams filled the air . " Ahhh ! " " Help ! "
