Yvonne quickly stood, her eyes full of unspoken questions.
Baron gave her a slight nod.

Yvonne’s face immediately lit up. “Does that mean Ms. Summers can finally have her surgery?”
“As long as you agree, the operation can begin at any time,” Baron replied calmly. “Yvonne, have you made your decision?”
“I have. I’m willing to donate skin to Ms. Summers. Mr. Gunn, I don’t want any reward. I’m only doing this to atone to my sister.”
Warmth flickered in Baron’s dark eyes.
“Silly girl. I told you, Phantom’s sins aren’t yours to carry. I’ll announce it to everyone— from today onward, Yvonne is my sister. My real sister.”
Yvonne’s eyes brimmed with tears at his words.
Just then, a message from Sean came in.
“Daddy, you’ll never guess where Finn went! He’s at National Hotel, room 303.”
Both Baron and Yvonne froze.
Yvonne remembered all too well–the address in that mysterious email had been the very
same.
Could Finn really be the one behind it all?
Her face showed disbelief. Baron’s expression grew grim.
“Sean, cover your tracks. You’re not to interfere in this any further.”
He didn’t want the children dragged into such tangled grudges. Sean didn’t argue, simply agreed and hung up.
Yvonne’s eyes were red. “Mr. Gunn, it can’t be true, can it? I don’t believe Finn is that kind of man! My sister might’ve been brought up by Shauna, but she and Finn got along well all these years. He had no reason to harm her.”
Her voice was shaking.

Baron’s own heart wasn’t any lighter. His bond with Finn had been closer than with a brother. And now–betrayal.
But he wasn’t a man to show his emotions.
“Yvonne, some people change.”
“But why? What happened between him and my sister? Why would Finn despise Ms. Summers so much? If I recall, before this, he didn’t even know her.”
Her doubts mirrored his own. But only Finn could answer them now.
“Enough. Stop crying. Get ready—we’re going to the National Hotel.” <fn7532> This content belongs to Find1Novel</fn7532>
Yvonne blinked, startled, then nodded firmly. “I understand, Mr. Gunn. I’ll ask Finn myself why he did this.”
She quickly arranged for others to watch over Natalie before leaving. Even then, she hadn’t forgotten her sister’s safety.
Her care moved Baron.
“Yvonne, I meant what I said. From today<i>, </i>you’re my sister. Natalie will be My children will be your niece and nephew.”
He had said it before, but repeating it made her heart warm all over again.
“Thank you, Mr. Gunn. We’ll talk about thister.”
With that, Yvonne left.

sister–inw.
Baron’s eyes darkened as he spun his ck phone between his pale, elegant fingers. Soon after, he typed a single word:
“Action.”
Sliding the phone away, he turned back.
Natalie had woken at some point.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, bathing Baron in a soft golden glow. He looked almost unearthly, like a figure descended from a painting, too radiant to see clearly–like an
exiled immortal.
Natalie had always known he was handsome. Otherwise, in her lowest moment, she wouldn’t

But now, scarred and disfigured, how could she deserve a man like Baron?

She didn’t know if the surgery would seed. She didn’t know if the Witch Doctor would even agree to it, or what price Baron would have to pay.
Her mind was a mess.
The more she noticed his beauty, the deeper her inferiority grew.
She hadn’t been like this before.
But now, without her face, she felt stripped bare, her confidence gone.
She lowered her eyes–then flinched when a glint from his cufflink caught them.
A soft cry escaped her lips.
“Natalie? You’re awake?”
Baron turned quickly, seeing her shielding her eyes with her arm.
“What’s wrong?” He feared she was in pain.
Natalie murmured, “Your cufflink shed into my eyes.”
For a moment, Baron froze<i>. </i>Then the corner of his lips curved faintly.
“Even if someone ruined it, I still love this design. Natalie, you truly are a genius.”
