Natalie knew Flynn wasn’t fond of Baron; if he didn’t care about her feelings, Flynn would probably have kicked Baron out.

But Flynn also understood how Baron felt about Natalie and what he had done; so even if he resented Baron for marrying the Stone family’s little princess, he had to accept it.

Now that Natalie wanted Baron’s people to step into Stone family affairs, she truly feared Flynn’s rejection.

Flynn only blinked once, then instinctively glanced at Baron.

“I’ll go talk to him.”

With that, Flynn strode toward Baron; Natalie froze for a moment. Did he accept that quickly? With no reluctance at all?

She hurried after him.

Flynn said straightaway, “Baron, something’s wrong inside the Stone family. Dad and I thought we’d cleaned things up, but the death of that couple hit me hard today. My sister says your people could help; can you screen everyone currently inside the Stone family?”

Baron looked from Flynn to Natalie behind him.

“You want my people to come into the Stone family and screen them?”

“If you can help, then help–after all, it’s your father–in–law’s family; we’re family, aren’t we?”

Natalie said this, her face flushing a little.

Baron’s heart warmed immediately.

“Right–family. No need to talk about favors; leave this to me. Don’t worry; I’ll make sure no traitor or schemer tears this family apart.”

Flynn’s lips twitched. So exciting, huh?

Sean and Susie, seeing the adults‘ expressions lighten, rubbed their bellies and piped up, “Daddy, mommy, uncle, can we go home to eat? We’re so hungry!”

At the sound of the children’s hunger, Natalie nodded at once.

Flynn scooped up the kids and headed for the door first.

“I’ll take the kids back; you two come later. Whatever happens, you’ve all got to eat first.”

Natalie and Baron exchanged a glance; Baron stepped forward and laced his fingers with hers.

As the group left the hospital, someone lurking in the shadows watched them furtively.

Natalie spun around; the figure slipped away quickly, but the hem of that person’s coat made her frown.

“Want me to handle it?”

Baron’s chest felt warm from Natalie’s we’re family remark, so when he noticed her frown, he offered.

Natalie shook her head.

“No need; I want to see what they’re up to. The Summers family may be trying to rise again, but their foundation’s still unstable. They gave up the Luke Corp partnership; the current Summers aren’t much to look at. Let’s watch for now.”

Natalie recognized Quincy’s coat hem.

She had suspected the Summers family might be involved in the couple’s deaths, but seeing this

put her more at ease.

If the Summers had really been behind it, they’d have vanished already; they wouldn’t be skulking in the shadows watching; maybe they didn’t even know the couple was dead yet.

Natalie shook her head and climbed into the car with Baron.

Baron narrowed his eyes but did nothing.

The Summers‘ parents had clearly been heartbroken by Sharon’s actions and only then remembered their foster daughter Natalie; after all, the Summers had only one child- bringing Natalie back would benefit them, and she’d been raised by them for eighteen years.

Baron shook his head. That couple only thought of Natalie now? Ridiculous.

When Baron got in the car, Natalie said, “Drive.”

Baron leaned on Natalie’s shoulder and grinned cheekily, “Am I living off you now?”

“Mr. Baron, with Grant International Holdings under your name, you can stand shoulder to

Chris at the wheel brightened noticeably at Natalie’s words.

“Mr. Baron is the CEO of Grant International Holdings?”

“No–Chairman,” Natalie corrected Baron.

Chris‘ tone immediately turned respectful.

anyone.”

“So it was Natalie who chose Baron; he really has talent. They say Grant International only rose up in the past two years, yet it has forced its way into high society and become a leader; everyone’s been guessing who the force behind Grant International is–turns out it’s Baron!”
