When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 47 Human Hell

When Sharon saw Baron step up to her, syringe in hand, really about to inject her, she exploded.

“I’ll have you know I’m Jensen’s wife, the president of Luke Corp. If you dare cross me, I’ll make sure you can’t survive in Ocean City!”

She threw out her title, convinced it would make him back off.

Sharon tried to swing at him, but Baron was too fast. Just as she lifted her arm, he had already pressed the plunger down. Then t palm cracked across her face.
