Chapter 220: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
Chapter 220 Phones Don't Save You Chris froze when he heard the order . " Miss , do you suspect Sharon is behind this ? " " Whether it's her or not , we'll find out when we see her ." Natalie rose and walked out as soon as she spoke . She didn't care what leads Baron was following ; if she traced the amusement park incident , she was sure she'd uncover the answers she needed . Seeing that she truly intended to go , Chris quickly gathered men and followed Natalie in a formidable procession straight to the hospital .
The hospital director , hearing that the Stone family heiress had arrived , rushed out to greet her . But Chris stepped in front of him . " Natalie is here to settle a personal matter . Rest assured , no other patients will be affected . Just don't interfere - that's all we ask ." The director knew exactly who Chris was - Stone family's trusted man . At his words , the director immediately nodded and retreated . Natalie , with Chris and the others at her back , located Sharon's ward and ordered the entire floor cleared . Sharon had wanted to do the same herself - Mrs .
Luke deserved nothing less , or so she thought . But two patients had special circumstances , and she hadn't dared to evict them by force . Now Natalie arrived , wielding the Stone family's authority , and those two households were swiftly moved upstairs . Natalie's steps were steady , deliberate , as she entered the ward . Sharon had been daydreaming about how Loretta might avenge her when the door suddenly flew open - and Natalie strode in . This was the first time Sharon had truly faced Natalie since her rebirth from the flames . Jealousy surged through her .
1/3 Natalie had always been more beautiful than her , but back then , her frailty and humility had softened her looks , blunting the edge of her beauty ; people didn't pay it too much mind . But now - now Natalie's features carried a striking sharpness , beauty that demanded attention . Even Sharon , a woman herself , was stunned ; how much more so the men . Thinking of Jensen's lingering feelings for Natalie , Sharon's eyes twisted with malice and hate . " What are you doing here ? " Natalie caught the venom in her gaze .
She raised a hand , and Chris immediately shut the door from the inside and turned the lock . The sound made Sharon's blood run cold . " Natalie , what are you doing ? I'll have you know , I am Mrs. Luke - personally acknowledged by Loretta ! If you dare lay a hand on me , neither she nor the Luke family will let you go ! " Terrified , Sharon clutched at her blanket , even reaching for her phone . But Natalie was quicker ; she snatched it and hurled it against the wall . With a sharp crack , it shattered to pieces . " Natalie , how dare you ? You - ah !
" Her protest cut off as Natalie's hand clamped around her throat . Natalie's eyes were cold , unyielding , her grip tightening ever so slightly . Her voice was frigid . " Sharon , even if I kill you right now , no one would speak a word for you . Do you want to test me ? " In that moment , Natalie was like a reaper risen from hell , radiating suffocating menace . Sharon shivered involuntarily . Natalie still did not release her . Her voice dropped, icier still . " You arranged for that injection that paralyzed me , left me helpless in the fire , intending to burn me alive .
If I tell Jensen the truth , what do you think he'll do ? " 2/3 Sharon's eyes flew wide in shock . " You have no proof ! Johnson's already gone; Jensen won't believe you ! " " Oh ? Is that so ? Whether Jensen believes me or not , I don't care . You nearly burned me to death ; you put me through the agony of skin graft after skin graft . Would it really be too much if I tossed you into a fire , made you feel the despair I did ? And I hear - you're pregnant ? " As she spoke , Natalie's other hand slid to Sharon's stomach . Every hair on Sharon's body stood on end . " Natalie , don't you dare !
Don't touch my baby ! " That baby was her only leverage in the Luke family . She knew better than anyone - Jensen would never give her another child . And that was exactly what Natalie wanted , her fear . Only through fear would Sharon confess what she needed to know . Natalie's gaze was ice ; her fingers tightened on Sharon's throat . " Don't try to threaten me . Do you still think I'm that orphan the Summers family threw out ? Sharon , you should've done your homework .
I'm the Stone family's daughter now - I have parents and a brother who adore me , and the entire Stone Group standing behind me . Crushing a nobody like you ? Why would I even blink ? And let's not forget - you poisoned your own mother not long ago . Do you honestly think the Summers family cares whether you live or die ? If anything , I bet they're praying you vanish off the face of the earth . "
