If Natalie wanted to get her design files back, hacking was the only way.

But Jensen couldn’t be sure she had survived that massive fire-especially when there had been a body found at the scene.

Installing the anti-hacking system had just been a desperate move to soothe his own mind. Who would’ve thought the alarm would actually go off?

So Natalie might really still be alive?

Jensen’s hands trembled, his blood boiling.

As long as she was alive, there was nothing he wouldn’t give to find her.

But when he opened the system, there wasn’t a single trace left behind. No clues, nothing useful at all.

“What the hell?”

All the hope that had just bloomed in Jensen’s chest shattered in an instant. He felt like he couldn’t breathe.

“If no one hacked in, why did the alarm go off?”

Jensen called the installer like a man possessed, his voice low and cold.

“The alarm went off, but there’s no sign of intrusion. How do you explain that?”

The technician could feel how pissed Jensen was and hurried to explain. “Mr. Luke, in these situations there are usually two possibilities. One, the hacker was extremely skilled and wiped all traces the moment the alarm. triggered. But that’s unlikely. There are only a handful of hackers in the world who can do that, and none of them. would bother with a job like this.”

“And the second possibility?”

Jensen knew Natalie had some basic hacking skills, but erasing all digital footprints in real time? That was beyond her.

Besides, he’d been monitoring all her financial accounts. If she’d hired a hacker, there would’ve been some activity. But her accounts had been completely quiet.

So was it really not Natalie?

Disappointment flooded him again-but he still needed to hear that second possibility. Maybe, just maybe, it would lead back to her.

The technician quickly said, “The second possibility is that someone physically moved the computer, and the system interpreted it as tampering. That can sometimes trigger the alarm.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

No sooner had he said it than Jensen suddenly remembered-he had hired part-time cleaners for Grand Pavilion.

Could it have been one of them?

He hung up and immediately called the cleaning service.

“Did you touch the laptop in the living room just now?”

His tone was harsh and impatient.

The cleaner was stunned. “Mr. Luke, I just lifted it to wipe the table.”

“Who told you to touch the laptop? Next time you do it, I’ll dock your pay tenfold.”

Jensen ended the call and threw the phone hard.

It shattered instantly-just like his mood.

The fire had been massive. There was no way anyone could’ve survived that. He’d even seen Natalie’s remains with his own eyes.

So why did he still believe in miracles?

Gripping his hair with both hands, Jensen collapsed over his desk like a madman. His eyes were wet again, and his chest throbbed with pain.

Was his Natalie really never coming back?

No.

He refused to believe that.

Jensen immediately grabbed the landline and called Hansel.

“Hansel! Check every patient currently in need of skin grafts. I want names and details–now!”

If Natalie was still alive, she would’ve suffered severe burns.

Given her condition, she wouldn’t be able to undergo skin graft surgery on her own. She’d need a donor.

“Focus on patients who need large-scale grafts!”

Hansel didn’t know what Jensen was up to this time, but if it involved Ms. Natalie, he’d follow through.

Everyone said Ms. Natalie was dead, but Mr. Luke refused to accept it.

Especially after her ashes went missing-he seemed to spiral even deeper into obsession.

As his assistant, Hansel could only follow orders.

“Understood, Mr. Luke.”

He hung up.
