This was the question Jensen should have asked the moment Sharon first woke up. But he hadn’t been there then. Now that Natalie’s ashes had been stolen and her grave smashed, he couldn’t shake the suspicion that Sharon was the biggest suspect.

And he didn’t even know if he was losing his mind, because some part of him kept whispering the thought that Natalie might still be alive.

That thought made his entire body tremble.

Sharon had wanted to say that the man who broke her hand was the same one who had stood up for Natalie at the product launch. But just the memory of Baron’s chilling face made her shiver uncontrollably.

“I…I didn’t see clearly. He had his face covered, and I think I was knocked out. When I woke up again my hand was already broken. After that, the man went crazy, smashing at me again and again. I blacked out completely. I really didn’t see who it was.”

As Sharon said this, her body trembled on its own, her face pale as death.

Her fear wasn’t an act. It was seeping out from her very bones.

Even Mrs. Summers, seeing Sharon like this, couldn’t hold back her tears.

When had her daughter ever suffered something so cruel?

“Mr. Luke, Sharon has endured so much pain. You must stand up for her.”

But Jensen was unmoved.

He stepped forward and seized Sharon’s chin, forcing her to raise her head and meet his ice-cold gaze.
