But Baron thought of the recent mix–up and ultimately held back.

The next moment, Natalie stopped walking, wrapped her arms gently around Baron, and whispered, “Baron, you’ll have me from now on. We won’t be alone.”

Baron’s heart melted completely; he tightened his hold around Natalie’s slim waist and murmured, “You said it; I’ll never let go for the rest of my life.”

“Okay.”

Natalie savored the sweetness of the moment.

Just then, a stern voice rang out.

“What are you two doing?”

The sharp tone made Natalie’s heart flutter with alarm.

Baron’s eyes darkened slightly.

They both turned and saw Quincy watching Baron with a guarded expression; when she noticed their hands clasped together, Quincy stepped forward, yanked them apart, and immediately pulled Natalie behind her.

She glared at Baron in fury and demanded, “Who are you? What are you doing holding my daughter’s hand? What do you do for a living?”

Quincy’s eyes scanned Baron like a radar.

Baron was handsome enough, but the murderous intensity about him made Quincy think of a rough street thug.

Yet she also noticed that his clothes were no ordinary garments; while unbranded, they looked handcrafted and of exceptional quality.

Could there be someone like that in Ocean City? Quincy’s mind raced.

Natalie’s brow furrowed tightly.

She jabbed Quincy in the ribs with her finger from behind, then said coolly, “Quincy, I don’t think we have much of a mother–daughter relationship anymore, right? Isn’t your showing up like this a little inappropriate?”

Quincy’s eyes brimmed with emotion, threatening to spill over.

“Natalic, I raised you for eighteen years; now seeing some unknown man by your side, I worry you might be deceived. You’re so kind and naive–this man clearly isn’t good. Listen to your mother; come home with me and I’ll introduce you to many fine young men. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied. If you still can’t forget Jensen, I’ll handle that too.”

Quincy’s heartfelt words immediately enraged Baron.

“You old hag, are you looking to die?”

Baron stepped forward, ready to pull Quincy out of the way. I had finally married my wife, and now this meddling old woman dared to push Natalie toward someone else? And Jensen of all people–a vile excuse for a man–how could she even think to put him before Natalie?

Seeing Baron move, Natalie quickly shook her head to stop him.

Baron felt suffocated; he forced his arm down.

Quincy, trembling from the murderous look Baron had just given, still gripped Natalie’s hand and said, “Natalie, look at him–no manners. What was he about to do? Hit me? How could you want a man who hits women? You’re too young to judge people; trust your mother–I’ll find you a good one.”

“Hey! Ask for a lesson and I’ll give you one–only you won’t like what you

learn.”

Baron was genuinely angry.

Natalie pulled her hand free.

Baron hurriedly offered a handkerchief from his pocket.

Natalie took it and used it to dab at the wrist Quincy still held, then said coolly, “Quincy, I made it very clear, the mother–daughter bond between us is gone. You keep coming to bother me, attacking my man–do you really think I’ll just sit by?”

Though spoken softly, the pressure in her voice left Quincy momentarily stunned.

That once–kind, obedient daughter now had edges and steel–who was this?

“Natalie, I’m just worried about you! I’m afraid you’ll be deceived.”

“If you keep bothering me, I promise I’ll make the Summers family disappear from Ocean City’s business world. Try me if you don’t believe it.”

After saying that, Natalie pulled out her phone.

She really hated Quincy’s current behavior. Sharon was still alive, so why was Quincy clinging to this–what on earth was going on?

The Quincy who once wished Sharon dead wasn’t suddenly having a change of heart; Natalie had long since stopped being naive.

Now, as the Stone family’s eldest daughter, she held considerable influence that could help the Summers family.

The Summers family was trying to use a debt of nurture to bind the Stone family, to climb higher in the business world.

At bottom, whether it was Quincy or Jordan, they merely wanted to keep using her as a tool.

Natalie’s mind was unnaturally clear.

She dialed Chris.

“Have my brother cause some trouble for the Summers family.”

She made the call without hiding from Quincy; she placed it right in front of her.
