Jensen suddenly couldn't remember what it was he had ever liked about Sharon.

This woman might have been fiery and sharp, different from Natalie's gentle nature, but why did the sface
he once thought attractive now feel nauseating to look at?
Mrs. Summers, older and more experienced, noticed the disgust and murderous intent in Jensen's eyes. She
quickly tugged Sharon's arm.
“Mr. Luke, Sharon only said those things because the pain was too much. She didn’t mean it. No matter what,
Natalie was once part of our family as an adopted daughter. Now that she’s gone, how could we possibly dig up
her grave? And Sharon has been here in the hospital since her hand was broken.”
Jensen didn’t even glance at her. His gaze stayed locked on Sharon, voice as cold as frost.
“She may be here, but to get something done doesn’t require lifting her own hands, does it? Sharon, five years
ago you saved me. What | promised you, | will never go back on. Before you die, | will grant you the status and
honor of Mrs. Luke. But you should never have touched Natalie's grave.”
“What are you talking about?”
Sharon frowned.
She hadn’t expected Jensen to see her at her ugliest. She had been stunned and at a loss, but now hearing his
accusation, she truly felt confused.
“What grave? Why would | bother with Natalie's grave?”

‘Ill give you one more chance. Hand over Natalie's ashes, and I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise...”
Though Jensen didn’t finish the sentence, the cold threat in his tone was enough to make anyone's heart pound
in fear.
Mrs. Summers opened her mouth to defend her daughter, but Jensen's words sliced through like a blade.
“Mrs. Summers, you still have tto argue withhere? Do you not know Summers Corp is already in
trouble?”
“What?”
Mrs. Summers’ heart gave a violent jolt.
Sharon's face also shifted slightly.
“Jensen, what do you mean? Hasn't our family’s business always had your support? What do you mean
something's happened now?”
She reached to grab Jensen's arm, but he shook her off.

His voice was like ice.
“Back then, when you and Natalie were kidnapped, why didn’t you tellright away that Natalie was trapped in
that warehouse too?”
The mention of it made Sharon's heart seethe with hatred toward Natalie again.
Natalie was dead already, yet Jensen’s mind was still filled with her. And now he even cquestioning Sharon
because of her?
But Sharon also knew she couldn't afford to anger Jensen now.
She bit down on her lip, tears welling in her eyes.
“Jensen, are you blaming me? | was terrified at the time, | didn’t even have tto think. And when the fire
broke out, you rushed in and grabbedstraight away. | was in shock. But when we got out, didn’t | remember?
| reminded you then, didn’t I?”
Her explanation pressed Jensen's lips into a tight line.
Knowing Sharon's temperament, she only ever screamed and panicked in a crisis, never calm or rational. She
was nothing like Natalie.
He still remembered the the and Natalie had been ambushed while on a business trip.
Natalie had been trembling all over, her voice shaking, but she still stayed calm enough to direct others and
organize their escape.
Compared to that, the ache in Jensen's chest grew sharper.
All this time, Natalie's outward softness had hidden how strong and resilient she truly was. She almost never
cried, and because of that, he had overlooked the fact that she was just a woman too.
She could be afraid as well!
So why had he assumed she would be strong enough to bear even the betrayal of him marrying Sharon behind
her back? Why had he believed she could endure it and forgive him?
Jensen's chest tightened painfully.
He leaned back against the wall, his face pale, his eyes icy as they fixed on Sharon.
Yes.
Faced with danger, Sharon would certainly forget about Natalie.
But that knowledge only made him more unsettled.
He couldn’t shake the suspicion that Sharon had deliberately kept silent about Natalie being in that warehouse.

Hadn't she once wanted to whip Natalie to death?

Jensen's silence made Sharon deeply uneasy. She couldn't tell if he believed her words or not.
Mrs. Summers, meanwhile, was burning with worry, desperate to know what had happened to Summers Corp.
But Jensen's terrifying presence held her back from speaking.
All she could do was look pleadingly at Sharon.
Sharon, once bold enough to say whatever she pleased to Jensen, now found herself unsettled by his change
since Natalie's death.
With unease trembling in her voice, she asked, “Jensen, | was really just too scared, | forgot. You believe me,
don’t you?”
Jensen gave her one look, and instead of pressing further, he asked a new question.
“Who broke your hand?”
