When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Cloud Café Scandal

Natalie had never expected things to unfold like this.

Baron, however, said quietly, “Someone like Sharon never had a conscience. Growing up abused in the countryside, it’s no wonder her heart turned dark. But for her to poison her own mother–that’s not something an ordinary person could do. I wonder if Quincy will regret giving up a filial daughter like you for her.”

“I don’t care what she thinks, nor do I want to. What I want to know is–Sharon’s now involved in a murder case, and she’s rolling around with a beggar. Isn’t that explosive enough for the news?”

Baron already knew what Natalie had done in the clouds. Hearing her say this made him laugh. “Then why don’t I go with you to watch the show?”

Natalie turned and caught the wicked amusement in his eyes. She suddenly laughed.

“Alright, thanks.”

She had only planned to buy a couple of outfits and head home to her child. But with one bombshell after another, she found herself more and more eager to see the spectacle.

Baron immediately told the driver to head for Cloud Café.

By now, the place was swarming with people.

Hansel had rushed over the moment he heard Jensen was in trouble, but the Luke Corp shareholders had gotten there even faster. He was immediately blocked by them.

It was as if some invisible force controlled Cloud Café–reporters were allowed in, but no one else. As a result, Hansel and the shareholders were stuck outside, while jo nalists were ushered in freely.

Even Jensen couldn’t come out.

No one knew what was happening inside, and all could do was wait anxiously.

Hansel was frantic, pacing like an ant on a hot pan. Earlier, Natalie and Jensen’s recorded conversation had been broadcast live by reporters, blowing up the entire Ocean City. Now, with Natalie gone and the inside sealed tight, Hansel was terrified for Jensen’s state.

When Natalie and Baron arrived and saw the scene, she raised a brow.

“Your doing?”

Her tone was questioning, but her eyes already knew the answer.

No one but Baron could lock down Cloud Café like this.

Baron grinned. “Of course. If Jensen dared covet my wife, I have to make sure he loses all face before walking out. Besides, if reporters don’t crush him now, how else would I have the chance to scoop up Luke Corp stock?”

“What?”

Natalie blinked, then understood at once.

“Right. Once our partnership’s ugliness is exposed, Luke Corp shares will plummet. You want to swoop in and take a stake?”

Baron shrugged. “Exactly. If he dares covet my wife again, I’ll make sure his company changes hands. I’d like to see if he’s truly willing to abandon Luke Corp.”

His tone was mild, but his eyes were cold.

Natalie had no objection.

“So how do we get inside?”

“Follow me.”

Baron took her hand, led her out of the car, and slipped into Cloud Café through the back

entrance.

Inside, the crowd stood to attention the moment they saw them.

“Hello!”

The greetings overlapped in disarray, but there was no conflict.

Natalie only curved her lips in amusement and followed Baron upstairs.

The reporters had just been allowed in and were eager to push further.

The lounge wasn’t soundproof. Sharon’s voice spilled out, sharp and wanton, tangled with the beggar’s.

“Faster, ah–faster!”

Her shrill moans carried both frustration and debauchery.

The reporters perked up instantly, eyes gleaming.

“Should we just kick the door down?” one whispered impatiently.
