Hansel’s words made Jensen’s expression change instantly.

“What do you mean? You’re saying Natalic knew Witch Doctor when she was still a teenager? ”
If what Hansel said was true, then when Natalie sought Witch Doctor five years ago, it hadn’t been as grueling and difficult as the rumors claimed.
But how could that be?
Jensen shook his head quickly.
“No! Natalie isn’t that kind of person. If she really knew Witch Doctor, she would never have stood by and watched five years ago. I remember how hard it was for her to see him then- there’s no way she was faking it.”
He muttered to himself.
Hansel hurried to explain, “Mr. Jensen, I’m not saying Ms. Stone already knew Witch Doctor back then. I’m saying Witch Doctor appeared near where Ms. Stone had her accident. Maybe Witch Doctor knew Ms. Stone? I recall his rules were strict, but when Ms. Stone came out five years ago, her expression didn’t look like it was just a normal transaction. I suspect Witch Doctor knew the truth about her accident back then–maybe he even used it to threaten her.”
That jolted Jensen awake. Chapters first released on.net
“You’re right. Natalie is a good woman. She’s been careful and proper since she was a child- she’d never go astray. It must have been Witch Doctor threatening her. He may even have forced her to do something. Go investigate–no matter the cost, find out who Witch Doctor really is!”
The thought that Natalie might have been forced into disgrace by Witch Doctor five years ago made Jensen’s chest blaze with fury.
Hansel added, “Mr. Jensen, Ms. Summers has Witch Doctor’s medical report. Could it be she knows something about him? ”
That struck Jensen deeply.
“You’re right. I need to see Sharon and ask about that year.”
He hung up immediately.

When he turned back toward the room where Rachel had been, intending to take another look at who she was, the room was already empty.
Thinking of what he had just overheard, Jensen left the hotel,
Meanwhile, Natalie and Yvonne were working on design sketches in the studio.
When Jensen arrived, he saw Natalie with a pen in her hand, drawing on paper.
His eyes widened suddenly.
“Natalie, your hand is healed?”
His voice startled Yvonne.
“How did you get in? Didn’t anyone ever teach you to knock before entering someone else’s studio, Mr. Jensen? That’s basic manners.”
She immediately stepped in front of him.
Natalie hadn’t expected him either. Her brows furrowed.
“What are you doing here again?”
“Natalie, I need to talk to you. Alone.”
He pushed Yvonne aside and stepped toward Natalie, only to notice her new sketch–far more beautiful than the cufflink design before.
A pang of jealousy stabbed him.
“Who are you designing these cufflinks for?”
He already knew the answer, but he asked anyway. Even if she lied, he was willing to hear it.
Natalie flipped the sketch over and looked him straight in the eye.
“Mr. Jensen, you’re out of line.”
“Natalie!”
He tried to grab her arm, but she avoided him.
“Mr. Jensen, if you don’t stop putting your hands on me, I’ll consider calling the police.”

Her words made his face darken.

“Natalic, do you hate me this much now? I know I was wrong before, but everyone makes mistakes. When they do, shouldn’t they be given a chance to make it right? I don’t think I’ve committed unforgivable sins. I only made the mistakes any man could make. Just give me a chance–I promise from now on I’ll only have eyes for you, alright?”
His gaze held a trace of pleading.
Once, Natalie might have melted at such a look. But now, she felt nothing but indifference- and even disgust.
“Mistakes every man makes?”
Excuses, nothing more.
“Jensen, there’s nothing left to say between us. I don’t want any ties with you anymore. Leave.”
She turned back to her designs.
Jensen noticed her right hand moving freely, without any trace of injury. A thought flashed in his mind.
“Your hand was ruined when Sharon had someone smash it, yet now you can draw again. Witch Doctor healed you, didn’t he? You knew him all along, didn’t you?”
His words made Natalie pause slightly.
She didn’t understand why he thought she knew Witch Doctor. But the truth was her hand had indeed been treated by Witch Doctor–at Baron’s request.
“Jensen, what are you really trying to ask?”
