Chapter 66 The Cufflink Clue

A flicker of disappointment passed through Jensen’s heart.

Deep down, he had hoped the Witch Doctor might have saved Natalie. That would at least mean she was still alive somewhere in this world.

Baron caught that fleeting trace of sorrow in his expression and let out a cold scoff.

“Mr. Luke, weren’t you leaving? Or have you changed your mind and come to plead for your dear wife’s sake? If it’s you, I might lower the bar a little. After all, I did promise Natalie when she begged for your life that if you ever came for help, I wouldn’t make things too difficult.”

Every word stabbed into Jensen’s chest like a dagger.

He already felt like his heart had been torn to shreds, but Baron always knew how to drive the blade in deeper.

Natalie had endured unimaginable hardship to secure that promise for him-how could he possibly waste it on Sharon now that Natalie was gone?

He’d already let her suffer in life. If he betrayed her again in death, how could he ever face her soul in the afterlife?

For the first time, Jensen found the Witch Doctor truly repulsive.

“No need. Like I said-she brought that on herself. Witch Doctor, if it’s possible, I’d like to use this chance to ask about Natalie’s whereabouts.”

“Then you’re asking the wrong man. You’d better go ask Hades in hell.”

Baron twisted the knife again.

Jensen stumbled slightly, then turned and walked out of Hades Pharmacy.

Pain wracked his entire body, an unbearable itch crawling under his skin like a swarm of ants devouring him from the inside out.

It had to be that basin of water.

That’s why Natalie had looked so pale and frail when she came back all those years ago, wasn’t it?

And in the end, he still hadn’t gotten the answer he came for.

The moment Jensen walked out of Hades Pharmacy, Baron suddenly stood up and said to the attendant beside him, “Prepare the helicopter. I need to return to Murica immediately.”

“Yes, sir.”

The attendant rushed off to make the arrangements.

Baron pulled out his phone and dialed.

“Find a good opportunity to make Sharon and Jensen consummate their marriage. Then leak it to the media. I want the whole world to know Sharon is the Mrs. Luke Jensen married.”

“Yes, Mr. Gunn.”

Baron hung up and removed his silver mask with one hand.

The face underneath was both alluring and cold, full of disdain and mockery.

If Jensen had hurt Natalie for Sharon’s sake, then he would never get another chance to go near Natalie again.

That kind of opportunity didn’t come twice.

Baron turned and said to one of the shop attendants, “Tell that gossip vendor Li Si to keep his mouth shut. If any news about Natalie leaks from him, he can go pick out a grave early.”

Someone immediately slipped away to carry out the order.

With that done, Baron quickly made his way to the back of the clinic.

There, hidden from sight, was a private airstrip that few knew about.

He boarded the helicopter and flew straight back to Murica.

Meanwhile, Jensen left Hades Pharmacy with his mind in chaos.

Had he imagined it all?

Natalie was dead.

He had seen it with his own eyes.

The fire had been massive. No firefighters had even made it in. Who could possibly have saved her?

It had to be nothing but delusion-wishful thinking.

Jensen staggered slightly.

Hansel noticed immediately and stepped forward to catch him.

“Mr. Luke, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Jensen shook his head.

The sunlight reflected off the tie clip on Hansel’s tie, flashing in Jensen’s eyes.

He shut his eyes for a moment-and a memory surged into his mind.

Back when the Witch Doctor attacked him, when that scalpel had skimmed over his scalp, he thought he saw something familiar: a cufflink on the Witch Doctor’s sleeve.

At the time, he hadn’t paid attention-his life had been on the line. But now that he thought back, that cufflink looked exactly like the last design Natalie had ever created.

But how could that be?
