Natalie made her feelings perfectly clear.

Jensen felt more than a little embarrassed; he had read about reconciliation gestures like this in books, and he thought Natalie might appreciate it.
Hansel couldn’t bear to watch, but he still hurried forward to help Jensen back to his feet.
Adjusting the frame of his sses, Jensen asked in a low voice, “Natalie, what do I have to do for you to give me another chance?”
Seeing him calm down, Natalie finally replied, “There’s no chance for us anymore. Jensen, I need you to stopying a hand on my husband.”
“Your husband?”
Jensen’s expression darkened instantly.
“He’s nothing more than the Stone family’s son–inw, a useless coward with no worth–and you actually call him your husband? What’s so great about him?”
“He’s great in every way!”
Natalie’s face hardened.
“Jensen, don’t think I don’t know you tried to run him over yesterday. He may choose not to hold it against you, but I won’t. Everything between you and me is in the past; I haven’t touched Luke Corp, I haven’t retaliated against you—that’s thest bit of respect and dignity I can show for what we had. But if you dare trouble my husband again, don’t me me for being ruthless.”
With that, Natalie turned her gaze to Rigel.
“Rigel, I remember sending you all the drafts of my designs. I’m leaving everything here in your hands; settle my design fees based on market value. I don’t want any future ties or excuses for entanglement with Luke Corp.”
Her expression was dark.
She had onlye today to speak to Jensen about Baron. Now that it was said, she felt no reason to stay a moment longer.
The sight of Natalie about to leave sent Jensen into panic.

“Natalic, whatever Baron can do for you, I can do too! Not only that, I can do better–as long <b>as </b>you’ll give me one chance. I know I failed before, but it was only because I owed Sharon a debt of gratitude; you should understand that.”
“Gratitude?”
Natalie let out a coldugh. <fn4b13> Newest update provided by F?nd-Novel</fn4b13>
Before, she had thought it beneath her to say anything; now, hearing Jensen again and again pin her sacrifices on Sharon, she could only feel disgust.
“Jensen, if I’d known that begging the Witch Doctor to save your life would lead to you hurting me like this–would lead to Sharon nearly killing me–then I would’ve rather stood by and watched you die slowly in that hospital bed. After all, you didn’t race for me back then; and your life wasn’t slipping away because of me.”
Her words struck like a de.
Jensen felt a sharp pain in his chest; his face turned pale.
“Natalie, what are you saying?”
This time, Natalie didn’t want to waste another word.
She fixed her eyes on him and said, each word deliberate, “Jensen, if you stop here, if you leave me and my husband alone–then we’ll live as strangers, never interfering in each other’s lives. For the sake of five years, I’d still hope you’ll do well. But if you insist on dragging us into your mess, then you’d better be ready to pay the price for it–irreversibly.”
With that, she turned to leave. But after a few steps, she stopped.
Without looking back, she said coolly, “Jensen, if Sharon could fake something as serious as cancer, then how much truth was there in her so–called rib donation to save you?”
She hadn’t nned to say this. After all, she had willingly done what she did to save him. But Sharon had stolen her credit; Jensen had used it again and again as an excuse to wound her. Natalie couldn’t stomach it any longer.
Even if Baron hadn’t yet gotten confirmation from the Witch Doctor about the tampered records, she refused to wait.
Every deed left a trace.
Even if Jensen couldn’t uncover the truth right away, she wanted to nt a seed of doubt in his heart.

They had made her and Baron ufortable–so why shouldn’t she return the favor?
Having said all she needed to, Natalie left without a shred of hesitation.
“Natalie!”
Jensen tried to stop her, but Chris blocked his way.
“Mr. Jensen, don’t force me to get physical. You know she’s now the Stone family’s eldest daughter. Oh–and in half a month, there will be a recognition banquet for her return to the family. Every prominent figure in Ocean City will be invited. I hope you’ll do us the honor of attending, Mr. Jensen.”
Before stepping in, Chris had secretly contacted Baron.
To him, Baron wasn’t just the Stone family’s son–inw; he was also his master.
Chris had always thought his own skills were sharp, but after sparring with Baron, he realized much of what he had relied on was nothing but show.
Under Baron’s guidance, his martial arts had improved significantly.
