Hansel was finally allowed inside.

Sharon used the chance to hastily pull her clothes back on, but when her eyes landed on the beggar, her stomach turned with disgust.

She had actually touched someone like him?

Revolting.

“Jensen, I’m going to kill him!”

Sharon snatched up a vase and hurled it at the beggar, but Jensen stopped her.

“Enough! We’ll deal with this later.”

Suddenly, he felt filthy just looking at her.

The thought of touching her at all was unbearable.

Sharon reached for his arm, but Jensen drew back.

The rejection hit her like a slap.

She broke down in tears.

“Jensen, I was set up! How can you treat me like this?”

Jensen didn’t bother to explain. He said flatly, “Hansel, the reporters are already after the barista. Go follow them.”

“Understood.”

Hansel left at once.

At the mention of the barista, Sharon froze, panic flickering in her eyes.

The barista worked for Dr. Johnson. He would handle it, wouldn’t he?

But even if he didn’t, it didn’t matter. She had plenty of ways to make Jensen believe she was innocent.

The thought steadied her a little.

Soon the reporters returned. Some had never left, unwilling to miss the aftermath of such a scandal–Jensen’s hidden wife caught with a beggar.

Hansel came back with the barista in tow.

“Mr. Jensen, I’ve brought her.”

Jensen looked at the plain–faced woman and thought of what could have happened if he and Natalie had been the ones to drink that coffee. Sharon’s humiliation could have been Natalie’s -and his.

Rage flared in him, and he lashed out with a vicious kick.

“Talk! Who told you to drug the coffee?”

The barista, though ordinary in appearance, was still a woman. She never expected Jensen’s attack.

Caught off guard, she went flying, pain exploding in her chest.

That kick was meant to kill.

Her body trembled midair.

What should she do?

Not long ago, she had tried to reach Johnson, only to find his phone unreachable.

Now she understood: Johnson had abandoned her.

When she hit the ground, the pain was so sharp it made her spit blood. Hansel hauled her up again and flung her back at Jensen’s feet.

The reporters were still there, but Jensen didn’t care.

From the moment Natalie appeared and cut him off completely, anger had been boiling inside him. Sharon’s scandal only added fuel to the fire.

Now, the barista stood at the center of it all. Even if Jensen killed her, no one would dare object.

Besides, he didn’t know why Natalie had singled her out before leaving. Could it be she still cared for him?

If Natalie hadn’t been alert, she would have been the one disgraced.

How could he allow her to suffer such humiliation?

He had to interrogate the barista in front of everyone.

Sharon grew uneasy. “Jensen, let’s take her back and question her there.”

One icy look from him silenced her instantly.

The barista shook violently.

Before Jensen even spoke again, she broke down in tears.

“Mr. Jensen, I was forced! It wasn’t my fault!”

“Then say it. Who made

you do it?”
