Chapter 227: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel

3/3 Chapter 227 Mr Baron Never Plays Nice This cold , ruthless Baron - that was the man they knew . So the scene just now had to have been an illusion . Baron watched his men resume the interrogation with sharp efficiency ; his gaze turned icy as it landed on the scar - faced man . " Feels good to know my secret , doesn't it ? Too bad - you won't get the chance to report back to your boss . " Jake struggled , muffled by the hand clamped over his mouth and nose , unable to get a single word out . While the questioning pressed on , Natalie had Chris drive her toward the studio .

After setting up a studio for Natalie in Murica , Baron had brought them all back home ; the very day she returned , Waylon had arranged for Chris to prepare an identical studio for her here . The idea was simple , whatever Natalie needed , it would always be ready . Of course , she could have done her designing at home ; she had spent the last five years working from home , after all , but it always felt like something was missing . With the studio , and the ability to sync online with her senior , Renee , Natalie finally found a spark of enjoyment in her work .

While Natalie was fully absorbed in her designs , Jensen received news that Loretta had been taken . " What did you just say ? How could my mother suddenly disappear ? " The butler stammered , " I don't know either . Madam said she was going to the restroom and never came back . I went to look but couldn't find her . We only stepped out for coffee , and then she vanished . Mr. Jensen , should we ... should we call the police ? " When people of that class ran into trouble , their first instinct wasn't the police ; it was the question of saving face . Jensen's brow furrowed tightly .

" Has my mother offended anyone lately ? " 1/3 " No. " The butler shook his head quickly , then hesitated . " But ... Madam did meet with Natalie ." " What did you say ? " Jensen's expression darkened . " Who told my mother to go find Natalie ? " The butler's hands shook as he spoke . " Madam said the woman who attacked her at the hospital claimed to have been sent by Natalie . Worried for the child she carries , the old lady invited Natalie out for coffee . But Natalie ... she wasn't the same as before . She even kicked Madam - Mr . Jensen, you should've seen it .

Her knee was left black and blue . Natalie always seemed so refined , but who would've thought she'd turn out to be so coarse and vicious ? " " Shut up ! " Jensen roared the words . " Who the heck are you to say Natalie has no manners ? And when my mother went to see her , why didn't you call me ? " His face was etched with fury . The butler flinched . " Madam told me not to . But Natalie really did kick her . " " Natalie wouldn't strike someone for no reason ; her manners are impeccable . Did my mother say something ? Do something ?

Tell me word for word - every detail - or you'll regret it ." The butler no longer dared say anything bad about Natalie ; he recounted everything exactly as it happened . Jensen's face darkened to a storm . " My mother believed whatever Sharon said ? She even threw coffee at Natalie ? Has she lost her mind ? She used to like Natalie , used to treat her well ! " The butler kept his head down , too frightened to reply . But Jensen realized it himself soon enough .

His mother's so - called kindness toward Natalie had only ever been based on the fact that 2/3 Natalie had once found a Witch Doctor for him . And even then , that kindness had never been much . A few gifts during holidays , nothing more ; most of the time she hadn't even bothered to check in . He had been blind . All these years , his mother had been waiting for grandchildren ; yet for the past five years he hadn't been able to cross that barrier in his heart , and so he had never touched Natalie . If he had been with her sooner , wouldn't they already have children of their own by now ?

Then Sharon wouldn't have the chance to flaunt her pregnancy like some sort of power . Sharon is despicable . Jensen exhaled sharply . " This might be connected to Natalie . Send someone to look for her , but do it quietly - don't alert anyone else ." " Mr. Jensen , aren't you worried something might happen to Madam ? " The butler's face was pale with worry . Jensen waved him off . " No. If it wasn't Natalie , then whoever it is must have their own agenda , and they'll call me . If it was Natalie , she was probably just angry ; she wouldn't actually hurt my mother . Don't worry .

" The butler was stunned by the way Jensen defended her . Wasn't Mr. Jensen supposed to dislike Natalie ? He had even married Sharon - so why did it suddenly seem otherwise ? Jensen didn't care what the butler thought . He pulled out his phone and dialed Natalie's number . He let it ring for a long time , but the call never went through . 3/3
