    Chapter 184 The Trap


    This wasn’t in line with her path of revenge, was it?

    But Natalie didn’t care what Jensen and Sharon thought. She simply took Baron by the arm and walked out of the room, giving Chris a meaningful nce on her way.


    Chris vanished instantly.


    Arm in arm with Baron, Natalie left Cloud Cafe and got into the car.


    Baron, however, wasn’t in the best mood.


    “You regret it?”


    His expression darkened, his whole body tensing up.


    Could Natalie really be regretting this?


    о


    Even if she had once died in the mes, that was Sharon’s doing. Based on the bond Natalie had with Jensen five years ago, was she nning to forgive him now?


    Baron’s heart churned uneasily, though he forced himself to appear calm. Still, the slight flicker of unease in his narrow phoenix eyes betrayed him.


    Natalie nced at him, a pang tightening in her chest.


    This man really was insecure with her.


    She had given so much of herself to Jensen back then. Maybe that was why, even after


    egistering their marriage, Baron still felt uncertain.


    Natalie shook her head slightly.


    “No. Without this, how would we lure out Dr. Johnson? And how would we expose the deal between Dr. Johnson and Sharon?”


    Baron froze for a moment, then suddenly caught on.


    “You realized that barista was one of Dr. Johnson’s people?”


    The gloom lifted from his face, and a spark of interest flickered in his eyes.


    Seeing him like this, Natalie’s sour ache disappeared.

    <b>Yes</b><b>. </b>


    This was how Baron should be.


    He was the godfather, the president of Grant International Holdings, the man standing at the


    top.


    He was meant to be someone who looked down on the world, not someone fragile and uncertain.


    Natalie curved her lips into a smile, kissed his cheek, and said, “I just found out. Chris told me you’ve been doing a lot behind the scenes.”


    Baron understood immediately.


    He had ordered his men to share their information and resources with Chris.


    He only wanted to make sure Chris didn’t overlook anything that could put Natalie in danger. But he hadn’t expected Chris to tell her about it.


    Even so, warmth stirred in his chest.


    He liked how Natalie always spoke her mind.


    “My wife really is clever.”


    Natalie rolled her eyes at him.


    “You didn’t exactly look like you were praising me just now.”


    “What look?”


    Baron suddenly cupped the back of her head and kissed her hard.


    When he wasn’t in the right, distracting his wife worked better.


    Natalie had caught that flicker of guilt in his eyes earlier, of course.


    But she didn’t mind,


    It was only proof of how much he cared about her.


    His sudden kiss made her want tough, but she couldn’t help being swept into the waves of passion he stirred up.

    They kissed hungrily, the temperature inside <b>the </b>car rising fast.


    The driver had long since stepped out, tactfully leaving them the space.


    While sparks flew in the car, the lounge upstairs at Cloud Cafe was far from calm.

    After Natalie left, Jensen, though confused, still quickly ordered the beggar restrained. As his men began searching for the barista, he pulled out his phone–only to find the signal block had been lifted.


    Jensen’s stomach dropped.


    Being able to block signals at will wasn’t something just anyone could do.


    What exactly was Natalie’s connection with that man at her side?


    Jensen was gnawed by frustration, but now wasn’t the time. He immediately dialed Hansel.


    “Where are you?”


    “Mr. Jensen, I’m outside Cloud Cafe. I couldn’t get in. And thepany shareholders are all here.”


    Hansel was close to tears finally getting through. He had no idea what was going on inside, but facing the furious shareholders gave him a sense of impending disaster.


    Jensen had expected as much and wasn’t surprised.


    He said in a low voice, “Tell the shareholders I’ll exin thister. For now, they should leave. If they insist on forcing their way in, don’t me me for being ruthless.”


    Jensen had never been some gentle soul. He had only ever maintained that polished demeanor in front of Natalie.


    As his assistant, Hansel knew very well what Jensen was capable of.


    Five years ago, Jensen had carried Luke Corp on his back alone. How could such a man be useless<b>? </b>


    Hansel quickly delivered the message.


    The shareholders still grumbled, but when some recalled the events five years ago, their faces darkened. One by one, they fell silent and left.
