Sharon hung up the phone. Why was Natalie still alive? If she was, then whose bones had shown up in the fire—and who had stolen them afterward? Was there something I didn’t know hidden in all this? Her mind raced. She absolutely could not let Jensen find out the truth; if he did, everything would be over. And then there was the Summers family. Sharon couldn’t help but think of them now. With Luke Corp’s support, the Summers family had already risen back up, and Jordan had even begun discussing partnerships with Luke Corp’s other subsidiaries. If Jensen really turned on her, she was still, at the very least, the Summers family’s daughter. I need to hold on to Quincy! “Someone, come here!” Sharon barked out the call. The butler came rushing over. “Miss, what do you need?” She glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention, before asking in a low voice, “How much of that medicine you’ve been giving my mother is left?” At the mention of it, the butler flinched. “I didn’t dare make too much; just a little at a time. Right now the poison is only accumulating, so it shouldn’t show any obvious effects yet.” Sharon let out a slow breath of relief. “Stop giving it to her for now. Make sure her diet and everything else look perfectly normal. My mother can’t have any accidents right now.”The butler frowned in confusion. “Miss, did something happen?” “You ask what you should, and keep quiet about what you shouldn’t.” Sharon shot him a sharp glare, her irritation clear. He didn’t dare press her further. He quickly had the tainted dishes thrown out and ordered fresh ones to be made. Even with all these precautions, Sharon still felt unsettled. Jensen wasn’t the only one she had deceived. What should I do? The thought of him stirred a complicated look in her eyes. That man’s heart was still full of Natalie; now that Natalie was about to return, Sharon needed to find a way to make Jensen feel guilty toward her. With that thought in mind, Sharon left the Summers estate and drove straight to Luke Corp. When Hansel heard she had arrived, he came down immediately to block her path. “Ms. Sharon, Mr. Jensen said you shouldn’t come to the company unless it’s urgent.” “I need to see Jensen.” Her arrogance had dulled considerably compared to before. Hansel had no idea what scheme she was plotting this time, but he didn’t treat her any differently. He simply told her to wait while he went inside to report. Seeing Hansel’s cold indifference, Sharon’s hands curled so tightly together that her nails nearly broke. Damn Hansel! He’s just a glorified assistant, and he dares to stop me? I’m Mrs. Luke! One day, I’ll make sure he pays for this humiliation. Hansel, of course, didn’t care what she thought. He went straight to Jensen’s office. “Mr. Jensen, Ms. Sharon is here. She says she needs to see you.”Jensen’s brows furrowed. “What is she doing here? Well, I happen to need to speak with her too. Let her in.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Hansel went back out. Moments later, Sharon was ushered inside. “Jensen.” She stood there looking pitiful, her fingers clutching the hem of her blouse, her face pale. The fear and unease in her eyes stirred a flicker of guilt in Jensen. “Sit down. Hansel, get her some hot water.” Hansel hesitated for a beat at Jensen’s tone, but left without protest. Before long, a cup of steaming water was set before Sharon, and Hansel tactfully excused himself. Sharon didn’t miss the guilt flickering in Jensen’s eyes. Her fingers slid gently over the rim of the cup as she lowered her voice. “I saw the news on Twitter this morning. Natalie’s still alive, isn’t she?” The moment she mentioned Natalie, Jensen’s brows knit tightly. “What are you planning? Sharon, I’m warning you—you are not to touch her.” “Is that really what you think of me?” Tears welled up and spilled down Sharon’s cheeks. “Jensen, I admit I was jealous of her, that I hated her. But I never wanted her dead. Otherwise, back during the fire, I could’ve just kept quiet and let you believe she wasn’t inside, couldn’t I?” Her words gave Jensen pause. He thought back. If Sharon had simply dragged him out that day, he really wouldn’t have known Natalie was still trapped inside. And with the Summers family’s influence, quietly covering it all up would’ve been possible. A trace of doubt flickered across his eyes. Sensing it, Sharon seized the moment. “Jensen, I’ve realized something over this time… the one you truly love is Natalie. You only married me out of pity.” Jensen’s lips pressed into a thin line. For some reason, he found himself unable to argue. If Sharon had stormed in screaming, he would’ve had every reason to push back. But now, seeing her so fragile, as if she might shatter at any second, the guilt inside him surged uncontrollably.
