When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Poison and Bloodlines

He even had a ridiculous thought.

If he had known that accepting Sharon’s help all those years ago would lead to this moment, would he still have agreed to it?

Jensen wasn’t the type to waste time on such pointless hypotheticals. But for the first time, he couldn’t help it.

Realizing where his thoughts were drifting, he let out a weary sigh and said to Hansel, “Find a lawyer to follow her to the station. No matter what happens, make sure Sharon doesn’t end up in prison.”

Whether it was the debt from five years ago or the fact that she now carried the title of Mrs. Luke, he couldn’t allow Sharon to go to jail.

Hansel nodded, though in his eyes there was only distaste and resentment toward Sharon.

Miss Natalie had been with Mr. Jensen for five years, and there had never been this kind of chaos.

But Sharon? She had been Mrs. Luke for only a few days, and already the company’s stock was tumbling, forcing Hansel into endless overtime.

Still, he knew his place as an assistant. Complaints weren’t his to voice.

Sharon, hearing that Jensen hadn’t abandoned her completely, finally exhaled in relief.

The police, seeing Jensen make no objection, also breathed easier as they escorted her away.

Jensen watched the police car disappear down the road, and a wave of longing for Natalie washed over him.

When he had been with her, none of this insanity had ever happened.

But then Baron’s face rose in his mind.

Who exactly was that man?

Jensen sent a message to Hansel, ordering him to investigate Baron’s background.

After receiving confirmation, he returned to Lanju, changed his clothes, and headed straight for Luke Corp.

The company’s stock was falling fast, shareholders were restless, and as president, he had no choice but to face the storm.

And yet, knowing all this chaos had somehow spun from Natalie’s shadow left him with a knot of feelings he couldn’t untangle.

Natalie and Baron, meanwhile, didn’t spare Sharon another thought. Once home, Baron carried the sleeping Natalie inside.

Chris moved to speak but fell silent under Baron’s warning glance.

Seeing Natalie asleep so peacefully, he quietly signaled the servants to move softly as well.

The children rushed out the moment they heard their mother had returned, but one stern look from Baron stopped them cold.

Susie’s brows pinched together.

“Bad Daddy. Always hogging Mommy.”

Sean frowned too, but he knew it was pointless to fight Baron now. He tugged Susie’s hand and pulled her back toward their room.

Only when the two little buns were gone did Baron carry Natalie upstairs. He gently laid her on the bed, slipped off his shoes, and climbed in beside her.

The outside world could rage as much as it liked–he was staying here, holding his wife.

Otherwise, she might feel afraid.

That was how Baron justified it to himself as he wrapped her tightly in his arms and drifted off to sleep.

At the police station, Sharon finally learned Lucy had betrayed her.

She wished she could tear the woman apart, but there was nothing she could do now.

How could this happen?

Was Lucy insane? Why would she want to frame Natalie of all people?

Natalie.

It was the first time Sharon had heard the name spoken by the police, but when she saw the surveillance footage, her blood froze.

The woman was Natalie.

At Cloud Café she hadn’t looked closely, but those eyes, that expression–how could they be fake?

And in the video, her mannerisms and face resembled Natalie by seventy percent.

Coincidence? Sharon didn’t believe in such things.

Her mother, Quincy, must have seen the same familiar face–that was why she had rushed over for a photo.
