Chapter 49 Suspicions

The man was staying in a five-star hotel. For Natalie to have personally designed cufflinks for him, his status had to be extraordinary, and he certainly wasn’t short of money. How could Jensen possibly persuade such a man to give them up?

The thought left him restless and agitated.

Just then, security called.

“Mr. Luke, there’s a woman lying outside the Grand Pavilion. Her right arm is covered in blood. You should come take a look. I think it’s the same woman who tried to force her way in here the other day.”

Jensen froze.

“Sharon? What happened to her?”

“Not sure. Looks like her right hand was smashed to pieces-bloody, a real mess. It’s terrifying.”

The words jolted Jensen upright so violently that the tablet on his lap clattered to the floor, forgotten.

“What did you just say?”

“Her right hand’s been shattered-blood everywhere. It’s gruesome.”

The security guard’s clearer explanation made Jensen’s heart pound.

Not long ago, Sharon had been the one who ordered Natalie’s right hand broken.

Back then, he had forced Natalie to swallow her pain, forbidding her to press charges.

The possibility made his pulse race.
