Chapter 230 Childish Works Every Time . Natalie paused for a beat and said , " Coffee ? You think it was me ? " 1 Jensen replied , " No ; I just wanted to ask , see if there are any leads . I didn't know my mom went to see you before - Sharon provoked her , she got worked up , and threw coffee on you , I only just found out . I know you're not the type to scheme behind someone's back . I just want to know - did you mention it to anyone ? Could it be someone trying to stick up for you , so they kidnapped my mom and humiliated her ? " The words were phrased beautifully , laced with trust in her character , as if he believed she'd never do something like that . But to Natalie's cars , they were cutting and unpleasant . " Jensen , I wasn't happy with what your mother did to me , but I got my revenge on the spot . As for who took her afterward or what they did - that has nothing to do with me . Don't come to me about this again . If you really can't figure out who did it , my advice is simple , call the police ." No sooner had she finished than Loretta's furious voice barked through the receiver . " Call the police ? Natalie , don't think I won't ! I'm telling you , if you don't give me a public apology for what happened today , this isn't over between us ! " " Do whatever you want . " Natalie ended the call and blocked the number . As for Jensen's feelings - she couldn't care less . But what he'd said a moment ago sparked a thought . She sent Baron a text . " Was it you who treated Loretta to coffee ? " " Yeah ! She bullied my wife ; I was just returning the favor . She treated you to coffee - 1 treated her to a whole bucket . I'm a pretty good junior , don't you think? " Baron's reply made Natalie laugh out loud . " Childish ." " I'm childish - so what ? " 1/3 Chapter 230 Childish Works Every Time After a little playful back - and - forth , Baron hung up . Just then , Revolver walked in . Coins " Mr. Baron , did you forget you're still the chairman of Grant International Holdings ? There's a business gala in three days ; you have to attend - it's tied to our next phase of development . Oh , and Luke Corp's Jensen will be there too . " He placed an invitation on Baron's desk . Baron had been about to refuse when another report came in . " Mr. Baron , it seems Jensen is digging into you ." Baron's lips curved into a mocking smile . " Fine . I'll go to the gala in three days ." He wanted to see exactly what expression Jensen would wear when they met again . After hanging up , Natalie didn't give the matter another thought . If Baron was behind it , Jensen would never be able to trace it . Still , the image of Loretta - usually so lofty - being shoved into a coffee bucket was vivid in her mind . That old woman had probably never endured anything like it in her life . Only Baron would come up with something like that . And though the method was childish , the fact that he had stood up for her warmed Natalie's heart . That thought pulled up another memory - Sharon's hand . She had only recently learned that not long after Sharon had crushed her hand , someone had crushed Sharon's as well . Jensen had even gone to the black market to beg the Witch Doctor to restore Sharon's hand to normal , but the Witch Doctor had refused . Renee had discovered and told her about it . Natalie was convinced that had been Baron's work too . He had a strong connection with the Witch Doctor ; if not for the coffee incident , she might never have considered it , but now she saw the pattern . Both times , the methods were identical -swift , brutal , almost childish , yet deeply satisfying . 2/3 When the kids had gone missing and she'd gone to the hospital to beat Sharon herself , she'd seen Sharon's hand ; it clearly didn't have much strength left. Truly gratifying . Natalie picked up her phone , scrolling through shopping sites , thinking to buy Baron a gift . But what could I buy ? It seemed he lacked nothing . She frowned , torn . At that moment , Renee messaged her again . Natalie , our first design is ready . Take a look . If you think it works , we can start teasing it on Twitter and online . Natalie opened the draft Renee had sent and was impressed . Her own design was the flagship piece ; the rest of the series included other designs , some of which would need Renee's touch . After all , this wa per studio now ; she wanted to give her senior some space to shine . Natali Ka few revisions , sparking new inspiration for Renee . are amazing ! I'll make the changes right now . hanging up , Natalie suddenly remembered something - she still owed Baron a pair of Hinks . Yes , I'd design them now . With that thought , she dove straight into her work . Meanwhile , Jensen had turned up nothing useful ; Loretta kept on cursing without pause . 3/3
