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.

But Baron acted as if he hadn’t heard a word. He drove the needle straight into her arm.

“You-”

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.

The sharp slap echoed in the room. Sharon was knocked flat onto the bed.

Wide-eyed, she stared at him in disbelief.
