Just before Mrs. Summers passed out, she had pointed at Sharon, her body trembling violently, eyes bulging with fury-yet she hadn’t managed to get a single word out.
Sharon didn’t care.
If she had been humiliated by Jensen, then she was going to take it out on someone else-and who better than the parents who gave her life?
After flipping the room upside down, Sharon copsed onto the couch, chest heaving, her eyes dark and stormy.
‘Natalie. Even in death, you won’t let me live in peace. I should’ve ground your bones to dust!”
Her fury made her chest ache. She grabbed the water ss nearby, only to find it filled with cold water.
She exploded.
‘Is everyone here dead?! My mom’s water is ice cold-do you all want to lose your jobs?!”
Since the Summers family’s copse, many of the servants had already left. The ones that remained hadn’t been
aid in weeks and were hanging on by a thread.
One of them finally snapped.
‘The Summers family is bankrupt. We haven’t been paid. How do you expect us to keep working?”
Sharon hurled the ss at the woman’s feet with a loud crash.
‘The Summers family may be bankrupt, but the Luke family isn’t! I’m Jensen’s wife-the rightful matriarch of the Luke family! You think the Lukes can’t afford your pitiful wages? Now get me some water. And call a doctor for my
mom!”
The outspoken servant was about to answer when another quickly grabbed her arm and showed her something on her phone.
Thetest entertainment headlines were all over the screen: photos of Sharon and Jensen in bed, confirmation of their marriage-scandal stered across every page.
The change was immediate.
“Yes, ma’am. Right away.”
Sharon watched their groveling with disgust, but said nothing.
She’d known since she was a child-status was everything. Without power, you’d be stepped on, humiliated, forgotten.

Now that she was officially Mrs. Luke, she’d w and bite to protect everything she’d gained.

She even itched to leak to the press that Natalie had been the third party all along. But she couldn’t risk it. Not
now.
With the Summers family gone, she had no backup. Jensen was her only lifeline.
And ever since Natalie’s death, Jensen had changed. He treated Natalie like some sacred memory-untouchable and glorified.
Sharon could bully others by unting her title, but she knew she couldn’t control Jensen. Not yet.
So, despite the bitterness in her throat, she swallowed it.
Still, her injured hand wouldn’t stop throbbing. And the thought of it festering made her furious.
Not waiting for the doctor, Sharon stormed out of the-house and returned to the ck market.
But bad news awaited her there-Witch Doctor had left Ocean City. No one knew where he’d gone.
Sharon nearly screamed in frustration.
Left with no other option, she slunk back to the hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, in a dark room in Murica, Barony curled up on the floor, drenched in cold sweat, body wracked with pain. <fn6d55> Get full chapters from Find1Novel</fn6d55>
It felt like a thousand des were carving him open inch by inch.
He bit down hard on his lip to keep himself from crying out.
This was the most vulnerable he’d ever been-and no one could know. If word got out, he wouldn’t be able to protect Natalie.
He passed out from the pain several times but fought his way back each time.
When night finally fell, the agony lessened just enough for him to crawl over to the nightstand. He opened a drawer, pulled out a pill bottle, and swallowed two tablets.
Only then did he feel the faint stirrings of life return to his body.
Just as he was about to shower, Finn knocked and entered.
“Mr. Gunn, I’ve got updates from Ocean City.”
The room was dark, and Finn squinted, fumbling for the switch. Light flooded the space-and what he saw made
his blood run cold.

Baron sat on the edge of the bed, shirt clinging to him from sweat, face pale as paper, eyes sharp as ice.
“Mr. Gunn… did I do something wrong? And… what happened to you? Should I call a doctor?”
“No need,” Baron rasped. His voice sounded as though it had been dragged across broken ss.
Finn panicked.

“Sir, what happened? Was it a nightmare? Or did the surgery for Natalie take too much out of you? I still say, that woman-”
He never finished the sentence.
Because Baron’s eyes suddenly sliced through the room like drawn des.
If looks could kill, Finn would have been a bloody mess on the floor.
He shut up immediately, throat tight, and shrank back with a shiver.
