When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 393

Chapter 392 The Shadow of Baron

And yet, everything had fallen right into Baron’s lap–that useless fool.

Once Jensen rescued Natalie, he would find a way to make sure Baron died at sea.

Then Natalie would be a widow.

He and Natalic–one divorced, the other widowed–neither would look down on the other.

A dark glint flashed through Jensen’s eyes at the thought.

Hansel had already driven the car to the airport.

But the airport was under lockdown.

“What’s going on?”

Jensen’s brows furrowed.

The Luke family had private jets, all stationed at the airport.

But now that the place was sealed off, how was he supposed to get inside?

Hansel quickly went to find out and returned. “Mr. Jensen, it seems a very important person is here to board a private plane. It’ll take some time.”

“A very important person? In Ocean City, who could be more important than me?”

Jensen’s voice carried irritation.

Hansel, of course, knew the Luke family’s position in Ocean City.

Before the Stone family invested here, the Lukes had been the absolute rulers. But once the Stone family arrived, the Lukes had been pushed aside, falling to second place.

That was not something Hansel would dare say to Jensen’s face.

Instead, after a pause, he said, “Mr. Jensen, I think I just saw Rio.”

“Rio? Who’s that?”

Jensen truly had no idea.

Hansel himself barely knew, except for once when he learned Rio’s identity by chance. That was why he paid attention just now.

“Rio is Payne’s son. Surely Mr. Jensen knows Payne?”

Jensen froze.

Of course he knew Payne.

A man with standing in Ocean City’s political circles. The Zach family had been in government for generations, their position unshakable.

They were always discreet, never flaunting themselves. But now, with this kind of spectacle, and even using a private plane–what was going on?

Jensen couldn’t help but speculate.

“Hansel, has something happened recently with the Zach family? Or is there some major move from above that we don’t know about?”

Hansel shook his head.

“The Zach family always keeps a low profile. Nothing big has happened lately. And as for the higher–ups, we’ve always had sources. Nothing should have slipped past us.”

“Then what is this?”

If it were an ordinary person, Jensen could still negotiate, pull some strings, and get inside. After all, they were both just flying private planes.

But with the Zach family involved, Jensen hesitated.

He was desperate to head out to sea and save Natalie, but clashing with the Zachs–he wasn’t sure about that.

Hansel had no answers either.

Just then, Jensen suddenly spotted Baron.

“Why is that useless Baron with the Zach family’s group?”

To outsiders, the uniformed men in black appeared to be Rio’s bodyguards.

So when Baron walked among them, Jensen felt his composure crack.

Chapter 392 The Shadow of Baron

The Zach family always kept to themselves and avoided outsiders.

How could a useless son–in–law like Baron walk alongside Rio as if he belonged?

Hansel saw it too and was stunned.

From his angle, it even looked like Rio was walking a step behind Baron.

Descendants of officials usually carried themselves with pride, always the center of attention.

But Rio had willingly taken a step back for Baron? Was it really just because Baron had married into the Stone family?

For the first time, Hansel doubted Baron’s identity.

Maybe Baron wasn’t simple at all.

“Mr. Jensen, should we investigate Baron’s identity again?”

Hansel’s suggestion only irritated Jensen.

“What’s there to investigate about a piece of trash? He must be clinging to the Stone family to get close to the Zachs. Natalie’s life is hanging in the balance, and he’s ignoring her just to chase his own future. Outrageous! How could a man like that be worthy of Natalie?”

In Jensen’s eyes, there was no way the Zach family would risk themselves at sea to rescue Natalie. They would avoid trouble at all costs.

So Baron was clearly using his connection to the Stones to advance himself.

A discarded son of the Gunn family, a useless son–in–law–without the Stone family, Baron was nothing.

Still, Jensen had to admit, at least the fool knew enough to leverage their connections.

But with Natalie’s life uncertain, Baron still putting himself first made Jensen’s blood boil.

Baron; who had lived in the underworld for years, was always sharp to danger.

He instantly sensed someone watching him.

Baron stopped abruptly.

Rio paused too.
