For the first time, Hansel made his disgust crystal clear.
Sharon never imagined he’d dare lay a hand on her.
She crashed against the coffee table, pain shooting through her lower back. Hearing his words on top of that made her so furious she nearly exploded.
“Hansel! How dare you talk to me like that! Just wait–I’ll make Jensen fire you!”
The only reply was the slam of the door as he left.
Sharon scrambled up like a madwoman, wanting to chase after him, but the door outside was locked, and bodyguards stood guard in every direction.
It was obvious. She was under house arrest.
“Let me out! Do you know who I am? Open this door!”
Not one of the guards even flinched.
Sharon collapsed onto the floor.
Everything had happened too fast. She hadn’t even had time to react.
How had it come to this?
She’d schemed against Natalie, yet somehow she was the one suffering instead.
And now Jensen was thinking of sending her abroad?
If she left the country, would she ever be able to come back?
No.
She wouldn’t.
She wasn’t even sure if she’d survive at all.
The Summers family’s poisoning scandal was already e
xposed. Even though they’d faked evidence to get her out, Sharon knew Jordan and Quincy would never trust her again.
Even if Jensen didn’t send her away, she couldn’t go back to the Summers home.

Those two would get rid of her themselves.
She couldn’t accept it.
She hadn’t endured all this just to end up with nothing but an empty title of Mrs. Luke.
In a panic, Sharon pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
“Sir, you have to save me. Otherwise I’m finished. If you help me, I’ll do anything you want.”
The voice on the other end gave her a firm promise. Only then did Sharon breathe easier, slumping weakly to the floor.
Meanwhile, Natalie and Baron had no idea about the storm brewing outside. The two of them played with Susie and Sean like children, running wild together.
From the carousel to the roller coaster to the pirate ship, they rode every attraction with the kids.
Natalie had thought they might be too young to handle the thrill rides, but they turned out to be more excited than the adults.
Seeing their laughter, Natalie felt deeply content.
“Daddy, Mommy, I’m thirsty. I want what that kid has.”
It was Susie’s first time out with both her parents.
She used to envy the kids on TV who had moms and dads taking them to play. Now her wish had come true. Read complete version only at
And if she could drink something as simple as the yogurt other kids had, the day would be even more perfect.
Sean chuckled at her greedy little face. “I’ll get it for you.”
“Be careful. Let’s go together,” Natalie said.
But just as the words left her mouth, commotion rippled through the crowd.
She instinctively scooped Susie into her arms–only to see Baron sprint toward Sean like a man possessed.
Natalie’s heart lurched. She lifted her head, and the sight before her made her blood run cold.

One of the rides in the distance had suddenly collapsed, crashing straight toward Baron and Sean’s direction.
“ Baron! Sean! Look out!”
Her scream tore through the air as she tried to run with Susie in her arms, but a bodyguard blocked her path.
“Madam, it’s too dangerous. Protect Miss first. Mr. Baron ordered that no matter what happens, you and Miss must not be put at risk.”
The guard’s words forced her to think clearly for a moment.
He was right.
She was helpless in a crisis. If she rushed in, she might only get in the way. But how could she just stand there and watch?
“Go! Help them! Forget about us—go!”
Tears blurred her
eyes.
Even Susie was trembling, clutching her clothes tightly. “Mommy, Daddy and Brother will be okay, right?”
“Yes. They’ll be fine.”
Her voice was steady, but her gaze never left Baron and Sean.
Thank God, Baron’s reflexes were fast. The moment the ride gave way, he had already reached
Sean.
He scooped him up and turned, running full speed toward safety.
But everything happened too quickly. The ride fell too fast.
Before he could make it out of range, the massive structure came crashing down.
Screams filled the air.
“Ahhh!”
“Help!”
