Now that Baron wanted to hand over everything he owned to her, Natalie felt both flustered and helpless.
Baron lowered his voice. “When my mom was alive, she told me that once I got married–or even just made things official with a girl–1 had to hand over my bank card. She said a man’s job is to earn money; a woman’s job is to manage it. If a man has money on him, he’ll go bad, so it has to be kept by his wife. That’s the rule in our family.”
“What?”
It was the first time Natalie had ever heard something like that.
Back when she was living with the Summers family, it was always Jordan who controlled the money. If Quincy needed anything, he had to go ask Jordan for it. And now Baron was saying he wanted to hand over all of his cards to me?
Natalie hurried to say, “That’s really not necessary, Baron. Once my designs hit the market, I won’t be short of money.”
“Aren’t you my wife? It’s simple–my job is to bring home the money, and yours is to run the household. That’s how I was raised. Or is it, Natalie, that you never actually planned to live a real life with me?”
He looked like he was on the verge of breaking down completely.
This man had just suffered mistreatment at the hands of his family not long ago; if she now gave him another reason to feel insecure, would he really be heartbroken to death?
With that thought, Natalie quickly said, “No, I really do want to live a life with you. Fine, fine, I’ll take it, all right? But do you have any cash on you? Do I need to transfer you some?”
He was Mr. Baron, a CEO. He couldn’t possibly walk around without money.
At her words, Baron instantly lit up with joy.
“Whatever you think is fine. I don’t need much when I’m out.”
Natalie had never done something like this before; she had no idea what would be considered appropriate.
She thought back to when she lived with the Summers family; Jordan used to give her a hundred thousand each month as pocket money.

So she asked, “Would a hundred thousand a month work as your allowance? If it’s not enough, you can tell me.”
“Perfect.”
Baron immediately pulled out his WhatsApp.
Natalie felt like she was dreaming as she transferred him the hundred thousand; then she saw him staring at the money, grinning like a fool.
She honestly wondered if what had just happened had pushed him into some sort of breakdown. With all the money Baron possessed, was he seriously grinning like a fool over a meager allowance?
She resolved then and there that he needed a doctor’s appointment–no excuses.
Just then, the car suddenly screeched to a hard stop.
Natalie was thrown off balance and fell straight into Baron’s arms.
His expression had darkened, grim and frightening.
“What happened?”
The driver didn’t answer.
Natalie opened her mouth to speak, but Baron pressed her head firmly down.
“Natalie, no matter what happens in a minute, don’t make a sound and don’t get up.”
His tone was heavy, serious.
Natalie wanted to ask more, but before she could, the car jolted violently from impact.
She wanted to scream–this was the first time in her life she’d ever experienced something like this–but she forced herself to hold it in. Instead, her hands clutched Baron’s sleeve with a death grip, her palms slick with cold sweat.
Baron kicked open the divider and saw that the driver was injured, though still struggling to keep control of the wheel.
“Can you manage?”
His voice carried a note of reassurance.

The driver gave a nod.
Only then did Baron notice blood at the man’s throat.

Natalie took the chance to glance outside; several cars were ramming into them like maniacs, as if determined to kill them.
She couldn’t help but think of Johnson’s disappearance, and of what Baron had recently said about the Gunn family.
Were these people after Baron? Natalie hurried to pull out her phone, nearly dropping it as the car lurched again.
She immediately dialed Chris.
“Chris, hurry–come save us. We’re on Ollie Road.”
Her desperate call for help made Baron freeze for a moment.
He had always been used to handling things alone; it surprised him that, in such a critical moment, Natalie had called on the Stone family to save him.
Baron instinctively pulled her tighter into his arms and murmured, “Natalie, don’t worry. won’t ever let anything happen to you.”

“These people are insane; it’s broad daylight, in the middle of the street–how dare they?” Natalie’s heart was clenched in fear; she had almost never experienced anything like this.
Baron couldn’t explain it to her.
To him, this sort of thing had been commonplace since childhood; but he still felt a pang guilt. He never should have dragged her into it.

Sensing what he was thinking, Natalie tugged gently at his sleeve and said, “Baron, from the day I agreed to be your wife, I was ready to face everything with you. So no matter what happens, don’t you dare leave me behind.”
