Natalie had no connections of her own. If it weren’t for Baron, she truly wouldn’t have known what to do.

Baron only smiled. “Just remember to design a few extra things for me later.”

“Of course,” she agreed without hesitation.

He would have liked to stay with her longer, but the thought of the so–called authorization contract and Jensen’s scheming–forced him away. He went straight to Susie.

–

“Princess, do Daddy a favor and I’ll add an extra chicken leg to your dinner.”

“Deal.”

Now that her secret was out, Susie no longer bothered to hide her talent. Her tiny hands danced across the keyboard. “Daddy, buy me my own laptop. The best one.”

“No problem.”

Sean, unwilling to be left out, darted over. “Daddy, then you’d better bring me back some rare poison plants. You can’t play favorites.”

Baron shoved his son’s head aside. “We’ll talk about that later.”

“Then I’ll go ask Mommy,” Sean threatened.

Baron scowled. “Don’t you dare!” In the end, he gave in, agreeing to the poison plants.

While father and son bickered, Susie had already hacked into Natalie’s old laptop at the Grand Pavilion. In minutes she copied all of Natalie’s designs and drafts, sent them to Baron’s email, and planted a virus. The machine shorted, smoked, and died on the spot.

Next she moved on Jensen’s system.

At that moment, Jensen was still fuming over his cloud drive lockout when his phone froze completely. No matter what he tried, it wouldn’t respond.

“Damn it! Bastard!” He shook with rage and called Hansel.

“Get me the best hacker there is! My phone’s been hacked!”

Hansel, startled by his fury, quickly summoned the security department.

Meanwhile, Susie slipped through his devices like they were an open field. Before long she found what she was looking for: the authorization contract Natalie had mentioned.

“Daddy, is this it?” She pushed the screen toward him.

Baron’s jaw tightened as he read. It was indeed an authorization agreement–one that granted Jensen exclusive rights to everything Sunny ever designed.

Baron’s face darkened. Jensen had deliberately avoided tying the contract to Luke Corp, binding it only to himself. If he ever left the company, Sunny’s work would go with him. And nowhere in the agreement was there any mention of royalties or compensation.

It was outright exploitation.

Natalie had given him her trust, her talent, her devotion. And he had shackled her with this parasitic document, only to plan to hand all her brilliance to Sharon.

Baron’s fury simmered so hot it nearly spilled over. He wanted Jensen’s head on a platter.

“Destroy it. Completely.”

“No problem.”

Susie tapped a few keys, and the contract dissolved into nothing.

Baron finally exhaled, some of the tightness in his chest easing. “Good girl. Now wipe the trail.

need me to have someone cover your tracks?”
