“My dear, are you doing okay out in the countryside? I heard that couple died. I’ve already told your brother and Chris to send extra people to protect you; if anything feels off, you must tell your mom and me. We’ve cleared out some rot in the Stone family here, but the mastermind’s still at large; the trail went cold. Your mother and I talked it over–if necessary we’ll come to Ocean City to find you. Your mom misses you so much, and the children too.”

Waylon told Natalie what he and Ruby planned.

Before Natalie could reply, Baron spoke up.

“Mom, dad, you should come as soon as you can; otherwise there’ll always be people pretending to be Natalie’s parents, popping up now and then to morally shame her.”

Ruby grew tense as soon as Baron said that.

“Baron, what do you mean? Who is moral–shaming Natalie?”

Natalie found Baron’s tone a little amusing.

“Mom, it’s fine. It’s Quincy and Jordan. They came to the countryside too, but they’re trying to rebuild a family relationship with me; I refused. They don’t seem to get it–maybe they’ve got other plans; but don’t worry, I can handle them.”

Ruby wasn’t comforted at all by Natalie’s words.

She remembered how Quincy and Jordan had nearly abused Natalie to death years ago for the sake of their biological daughter Sharon.

She hadn’t even had the chance to make them pay for hurting her daughter–and now they had the nerve to try to guilt–trip Natalie?

“Natalie, don’t worry. Your mom and I will buy tickets right away.”

Waylon immediately agreed with Ruby, “Yes, yes; we’ll be there first thing tomorrow.”

Natalie wanted to tell them they didn’t need to make the trip, but the call had already been disconnected.

Baron laughed and said, “See? Not bad for a son–in–law, right?”

“You’re such a show–off. You know I can handle the Summers family people, yet you insisted my parents come–what are you trying to do?”

Natalie still knew Baron well.

Baron took her hand; tenderness shone in his eyes as he said, “Natalic, someone’s started looking into my identity. Our relationship will be exposed soon; the two children could be revealed, too. We’re already registered; I want to give you a grand wedding. I know you want family around you, so I had your parents come.”

Natalie paused, then smiled. “That’s fine. You’re already my husband, Baron; there’s no need to hide. Since you don’t want to expose your identity, I’ll give you the Stone family status.”

“Please continue to look after me, my lady wife.”

Baron kissed the back of her hand.

Natalie couldn’t help but laugh.

At the same time, Hansel reported to Jensen.

“Mr. Jensen, we identified the man who was with Natalie.”

“Speak.”

Jensen set down what he was doing right away.

They’d been unable to dig up Baron’s background before, which had frustrated Jensen; now, finally, there was news–he wanted to trace Baron’s ancestry back eight generations.

Hansel hurried on, “We used many methods and channels to investigate him; we finally confirmed his identity. His name is Baron; he’s the son of the Gunn Group chairman, though apparently he’s a discarded son of the Gunn family. He grew up wandering outside for years; it seems his stepmother and other brothers wanted to get rid of him. Still, he was lucky–he had friends in many circles–so he survived. As for his relationship with Natalie, when Natalie was. trapped in a fire, he rescued her; he even brought a Witch Doctor to perform skin grafts, which led the Stone family to accept him as a son–in–law.”

Jensen listened to Hansel’s report, gripping his pen tightly.

A dangerous darkness filled his eyes.

“He saved Natalie?”

“Yes. They say he brought outside underworld forces and risked his life to save Natalie. She’s very grateful to him. Later, when the Stone family wanted to take him in as a son–in–law, Natalie didn’t object; she even went with him to the civil affairs bureau to register–though they haven’t had the wedding yet.”

Hearing Hansel, Jensen felt his heart ache as if he couldn’t breathe.

The woman he loved had registered with someone else?

At that moment he understood, painfully, how Natalic had felt when she learned he’d registered with Sharon.

Not married—so his identity hasn’t been made public; as long as no one else knows, I still have a chance! he thought fiercely. Natalie is mine. She can only be mine!

Jensen flung the pen from his hand; his eyes were bloodshot.

Hansel warned, worried, “Baron is, after all, from the Gunn family, Mr. Jensen. With Luke Corp in turmoil right now, you should-”

“He’s supposedly a discarded son of the Gunn family. So many in the Gunn family wanted him dead; he was weak enough to marry into the Stone family to save himself. Maybe his rescue in the fire was staged to climb into the Stone family! I disliked him at the product launch; that Baron cannot stay.”
