When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 191 Covering Sharon’s Crimes

“Yes, Mr. Jensen. The evidence is solid. Right now Ms. Summers is stalling, claiming she won’t speak until her lawyer arrives. What should we do?”

Hansel’s words made Jensen feel like he was about to lose his mind.

“What the hell is Sharon trying to do? She’s sick, and even like this she can stir up such chaos. If she weren’t sick, would she try to bring down the sky itself?”

Agitated, Jensen yanked at his collar, but the suffocating weight on his chest didn’t ease.

Luke Corp’s stock was plummeting. In only a short span, five percent of shares had already slipped away. He hadn’t even traced where those shares had gone, and now Sharon’s scandal had exploded on top of it all. Worse still, she had actually poisoned her own mother.

A chill crept into his heart.

Could someone who poisoned her own blood really have sacrificed a rib to save him years ago?

But then he remembered the medical reports. They had been crystal clear. Even the Witch Doctor had overseen it–someone Sharon could never have bribed.

The suspicion flickered, then died. He didn’t dare linger on it.

Hansel, of course, had no idea what Sharon was thinking. “Mr. Jensen, what do we do now?”

Pressing his fingers to his temples, Jensen spoke heavily. “Find a woman with Sharon’s build and have her take the fall. No matter the cost. As for Lucy, dig up some story about her past grudges with Sharon, then make sure she disappears quietly. Dead women can’t testify. Without her, there’s nothing to tie this back to Sharon. And tell the Summers family–contact Jordan. Have them keep things still for now. As long as we insist it wasn’t Sharon, that’s enough. Neither the Luke family nor the Summers family can afford to mistress or a daughter.”

His voice was cold, pragmatic.

Hansel understood at once.
