Jensen’s history with Natalie was already sensitive; Chris absolutely could not allow Baron to be undermined.
But Baron had simply told him to follow Natalie’s instructions; only before leaving should he mention the recognition banquet to Jensen.
After relaying that message, Chris finally felt he had completed his task.
He turned and strutted out of Luke Corp’s president’s office with Natalie.
Jensen, however, froze when he heard the news; his eyes grew dangerously dark.
“Natalie’s recognition banquet, I’m going, no matter what. But that bastard–what was that look he gave me just now? What did he mean by that?”
Hansel, facing Jensen’s rage, was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, everything before Jensen’s eyes became unbearably irritating.
He swept everything off his desk with a violent crash.
“What is Baron, really? A pretty boy, a useless one! And yet he’s the one Natalie cares for so deeply–so much that she personally came here to warn me for his sake. Damn it! I want him dead!”
Like a madman, Jensen smashed everything he could see.
Rigel and Hansel instinctively edged toward the door, afraid to get caught in his frenzy.
After a while, Jensen finally quieted down.
Bracing himself on the desk, he stood with hollow eyes, his voice drifting, eerie–yet his words made Hansel shudder.
“Hansel… what did Natalie mean just now? About Sharon’s rib donation possibly being fake? Could the Witch Doctor’s medical records have been falsified?”
Jensen’s question hung heavy in the air. Hansel quickly replied, “Mr. Jensen, the Witch Doctor surrounds himself with extraordinary people; ordinary folk can’t even get near him. I don’t think she had the ability to tamper with the Witch Doctor’s records.”
“But I believe Natalie.”

Jensen’s eyes narrowed.

Hansel had no response to that. Mr. Jensen now placed complete trust in Ms. Stone’s words – if only he had done so earlier, perhaps things would never have come to this.
Hansel sighed softly, then said, “Understood, Mr. Jensen. I’ll send someone to investigate right away.”
“Spend whatever it takes; find someone reliable. But whatever happens, don’t alert the Witch Doctor.”
At least Jensen still knew where the line was.
The Witch Doctor’s reputation was renowned worldwide; rumors claimed his backing was tied to Murica’s mafia. His ways were brazen, but no one dared cross him.
”
Hansel hesitated, then asked, “Mr. Jensen, should we try reaching out to the Witch Doctor? Back then, Ms. Stone begged him to save you; if he spoke on your behalf, maybe you and Ms. Stone could still have a chance.” Check latest chapters at.net
But Jensen shook his head.
“No. The Witch Doctor’s temperament is far too unpredictable. It isn’t wise for us to deal with him right now.”
Hearing that, Hansel didn’t press further.
After leaving Luke Corp, Natalie saw Chris walking out happily and couldn’t help but ask,
“Those words just now–Baron told you to say them?”
Chris didn’t even flinch at being caught. Smiling, he said, “Yes. He said this counts as a joyous occasion. You and Mr. Jensen did share five years, after all; it seemed right to notify him. Besides, Mr. Jensen is considered one of Ocean City’s elite–it wouldn’t look good to leave him
out.”
Of course, those weren’t Baron’s exact words. Chris was instinctively protecting him, worried Natalie might misunderstand.
Natalie had known Baron long enough to tell whether Chris was telling the whole truth. Inviting Jensen was real–but surely not in such mild terms. Still, since Baron didn’t mind, she saw no need to press.
It would serve just as well to use the recognition banquet to make Jensen give up for good.

“Let’s go; take me to the studio.”
Her words caught Chris off guard.

“Miss, haven’t you finished all your designs? Wasn’t the follow–up work given to Miss Gu?”
He meant Yvonne.
Natalie thought of something, then smiled. “Baron’s cufflinks are ruined. I’m going to design him a new pair.”
The ones she had made before had been snatched away by Jensen; she felt she had to design another pair for Baron.
At the mention that it was for Baron, Chris immediately lit up.
“Of course, miss–I’ll take you right away.”
Natalie smiled faintly, saying nothing more, her mind already sketching ideas.
From the floor–to–ceiling window, Jensen watched Natalie’s car slowly pull away from Luke Corp. A sudden reluctance stirred inside him.
“Hansel, hand company matters over to the vice president. I’m going out.”
Grabbing his car keys, he strode off before Hansel could say a word.
By the time Hansel opened his mouth, Jensen was already gone from the president’s office.
