NovelGoldChapter 175 Money Talks So Pay Up
The curve of Natalie's lips deepened.
“Oh? So Mr. Jensen has been protectingall along?”
“Of course!”
Jensen rushed to affirm it.
Natalie’s smile only grew brighter, though it never reached her eyes.
“Then if you cared aboutso much, Mr. Jensen, why haven't | received a single cent from all the profits my
designs brought in over the past five years?”
“You lived in the Lanju apartment | bought for you. | covered all the household expenses, even hired cleaners to
con schedule. You didn’t need money.”
That one statement was enough to make the reporters behind her widen their disbelief. What kind of reasoning is
that?

Natalie's smile sharpened. “Whether | need money or not is irrelevant. | put in the labor; | designed the products.
| never signed an agreement with you—or with Luke Corp— authorizing their use. You profited off my work;

Jensen flushed at her words, shcreeping across his face.
Biting his lip, he muttered, “It’s not that | wouldn't give you anything. We were going to get married eventually;
what’s mine would be yours. If you needed money, no matter how much, | would've given it to you. You know

hadn’t given you your share yet.”
“So according to you, Mr. Jensen, since you would eventually marry me, the profi rom my designs would one day
cback to me?”
“Of course.”
“Then why did you marry Sharon?”
Natalie's expression hardened completely.
Jensen's voice faltered.

He suddenly understood what truly mattered to her.
Uneasy, he tugged at his collar; still feeling suffocated, he quickly unbuttoned two more buttons as if only then
could he breathe.
“Natalie, that was my mistake. | shouldn't have married Sharon on our fifth anniversary. But | had my reasons.”
“Oh?”
Natalie realized that once she had let go of all feelings for him, the illusion surrounding him had shattered.
The shandsface that once seemed so dear now made her sick.
Seeing no trace of emotion on her face, Jensen's chest tightened in a dull ache.
“Natalie, believe me. The only woman I've ever loved is you. | married Sharon because she has cancer; she
doesn’t have much tleft. Her final wish was to die as my wife-I couldn't let her leave this world with regret.”
“You could have told me. You could have said you intended to marry Sharon. We could have ended things cleanly.
But, Mr. Jensen, you never thought to tellabout your marriage to her. So what was your plan? A wife in your
arms while keepingas your mistress?”
Natalie's voice turned ice-cold.
“No, no-that wasn’t it! | only thought that once Sharon passed, we'd get married immediately. | wouldn't touch
her, | swear!”
As he spoke, he reached for Natalie's hand.
Natalie instead picked up her coffee and threw it directly in his face.
“Jensen, you're disgusting.”
Brown liquid splashed across him, even seeping into his open mouth before he could close it.
Natalie rose to her feet, her voice cutting through the stunned silence. “From the moment you married Sharon,
everything between us ended. So stop telling the media you'll marryor that we're in a relationship.”
“Secondly, the profits from my designs over the past five years-since | never authorized you or Luke Corp to use
them-calculate every cent and return it. Otherwise, I'll take legal action.”

With that, she turned and walked away.
“Natalie, don’t treatlike this! | know | was wrong. Just giveanother chance!”
Jensen reached instinctively for her arm, but Chris blocked him.
“Mr. Jensen, you'd better focus on explaining yourself to the reporters.”
At those words, the journalists surged forward.
“Mr. Jensen, is what you just said true? Did you really marry another woman behind Ms. Sunny’s back?”
“Mr. Jensen, has Luke Corp truly not given her a single cent for five years of designs?”
Their sudden barrage of questions surrounded Jensen in the cafe.
Because he had wanted to meet Natalie alone, he hadn't brought Hansel with him.
And now, faced with this situation-if Jensen still didn’t realize Natalie had orchestrated everything-then he didn’t
deserve to sit in Luke Corp’s president’s chair at all.
