Chapter 10 I'm Not Stupid, and I'm Not Blind

“I don’t need to rely on the title of Witch Doctor to make a woman feel grateful.”

With that, Baron ended the call.

When he returned to the suite and opened the bathroom door, the steam was still lingering-but Natalie was

gone. Her clothes had disappeared too.

Baron smirked faintly and dropped the towel before stepping into the shower.

Meanwhile, Natalie finally exhaled once she exited the hotel.

If she hadn't slipped out while he was on the phone, she wasn’t sure how she would've handled that overbearing

man.

It didn’t matter. They were strangers crossing paths-he’d soon fade into a forgotten corner of her life.

Back home, Natalie locked the door, turned off her phone, and burrowed under the blanket to sleep like the

dead.

When she woke up, she was still Natalie-indestructible, unkillable.

At the hospital, shortly after Jensen got Sharon admitted to the emergency room, his phone rang.

“Mr. Luke,” his assistant reported, “the police have reviewed the surveillance videos submitted by Ms. Natalie.

They confirmed the footage is authentic. It's been archived. Whether a case is filed depends on Ms. Natalie's

decision.”

Jensen's grip on his phone tightened.

So it was all real.

Images of a battered Natalie from five years ago flashed in his mind. Her pale face, those eyes full of pain -it all

cback with brutal clarity. Guilt and regret twisted in his chest.

There was no denying it now. Sharon had done something unforgivable.

Transfer the villa Natalie's living in to her name. Once the deed is ready, hand it topersonally.”

The assistant paused. “You mean the villa currently occupied by Ms. Nina? That one’s worth a hundred million.

“Less talking. Just do it.”

Jensen ended the call.

The Summers family had abused Natalie because she was just a powerless orphan. Now that Sharon's actions

were exposed, he would make things right. That villa-Lan Residence-had once been what he imagined as their

future home. Now, it would belong to her outright.

Maybe this would ease her anger.

Chapter 10 I'm Not Stupid, and I'm Not Blind

As he thought this, Quincy and Jordan arrived at the hospital.

“Mr. Luke, how's our Sharon doing?”

Quincy's eyes were red, glued to the emergency room light.

Jensen looked at her coldly. He thought of her cruelty toward Natalie-the indifference, the malice. He shook off

her hand.

“The doctors just went in. It'll take time. But Quincy... maybe you should worry more about the video of you

whipping Natalie that’s now in police records.”

Quincy's knees buckled.

“Mr. Luke, those videos are slander! We didn’t-"

I'm not stupid, and I'm not blind! You think | don’t know what it means for the police to archive something? It

means they've confirmed the footage is real. | can’t believe it-you were the ones who beat Natalie within an inch

of her life five years ago.”

Jensen's voice was ice-cold and lethal, making Quincy tremble uncontrollably.

“You can’t abandon us like this! Sharon's barely hanging on. Do you really want to see her go to jail because of

Natalie?”

Quincy was in tears.

Jensen’s gaze softened slightly.

“If not for Sharon's sake, | wouldn't even be speaking to you right now. But this happened at a public product

launch. The press was everywhere—you know that. Now that it’s in police records, even if Natalie decides to let it

go, this story won't disappear. If you want to keep Sharon safe... you'd better find a way to take the fall.”

Quincy collapsed into Jordan's arms.

Before she could respond, the emergency room light turned off, and the doctor wheeled out an unconscious

Sharon.

“Doctor, how's my daughter?”

Quincy rushed to his side, Jensen close behind.

The doctor explained, “Ms. Summers was in poor health to begin with. Emotional distress caused her to faint.

The cancer has already spread. You must keep her stress levels low from now on.”

“My poor girl!”

Quincy clung to Sharon and sobbed uncontrollably.

Jensen's brows furrowed tightly.

“Use the best medication and the best doctors-no matter the cost. Save her.”

“Understood, Mr. Luke. We'll do everything we can.”

The nurses pushed Sharon to her room.

Over two hours later, Sharon finally woke up.

She stared at the white ceiling in a daze-until her eyes met Jensen’s and everything cback.

“Jensen... did | faint again? My body's such a mess. What did the doctor say? Am I... dying?”

Tears spilled down her cheeks.

Jensen sat beside her, letting her clutch his sleeve. His voice was gentle.

“Jensen, | don’t want to die. | really don't...”

She threw herself into his arms, sobbing.

Jensen held her, gently patting her back. But in his mind, he couldn't stop picturing Natalie's back- riddled with

whip scars.

He opened his mouth, ready to confront Sharon... but couldn’t say a word.

Sharon cried herself to sleep in his arms, still gripping his clothes like a frightened child.

Jensen gently slipped out of his jacket, letting her hold onto it, then walked out with his phone.

“Understood, Mr. Luke. But... what about the news confirming Ms. Natalie as Sunny?”

“Suppress that too!” Jensen said coldly. “If Sharon can’t have the title, then Natalie can wait.”

The assistant hesitated.
