Taking advantage of the brief opening, Baron jumped back into the car, started the engine, and slammed on the

accelerator.

The vehicle shot forward like an arrow loosed from its bow; it rammed Jensen's car aside. without hesitation,

then sped straight toward where Jensen was standing.

The wild, fearless move shook Jensen to his core, rattling even his arrogance.

For all his arrogance, he valued his life.

He immediately rolled out of the way, scrambling with humiliating clumsiness. All he saw as he lifted his head

was Baron's taillights streaking off into the distance.

Never in his life had Jensen been so insulted.

“Hansel! Baron rammed me! There are security cameras here-pull the footage and post it online. I'll make him

pay!”

His voice dripped with malice.

Hansel hesitated.

“Mr. Jensen, Baron is now the Stone family’s son-in-law. If word of this gets out, any chance of a partnership with

the Stones is gone. Perhaps we should visit the Stone family first and raise the matter with Mr. Waylon-see

where he stands before we act?”

Hansel’s words managed to temper Jensen's fury, if only slightly.

“Fine. Then get the footage ready! Damn it! That bastard Baron-I'll find his weakness if it’s the last thing | do. |

want him dead!”

He hung up abruptly. By the the looked back, Baron's car was already long gone.

Inside the vehicle, Ruby was drenched in cold sweat from Baron's maneuver. She clutched Waylon’s arm tightly.

Waylon, however, didn’t see anything wrong with what Baron had done. So this is Murica’s Godfather, Mr. Baron.

He doesn’t hesitate-he strikes head-on. I like it.

“That man just now-that was Jensen, the one who broke Natalie's heart?” Waylon asked calmly.

Baron’s murderous rage finally cased.

“Yes. He's never given up on her. After the fire, it seems he finally realized how he felt, and now he’s determined

to win her back.”

He didn’t bother to conceal it.

Ruby’s brow furrowed.

“Baron, don’t worry. | haven't spent much twith Natalic, but | know this, the Stone family doesn’t go back to

what we've already walked away

from.”

“Mom, | know. That doesn’t worry me. Even if-worst-case-Natalie chose Jensen in the end, | wouldn't stop her.

What matters most is that she’s happy. That's the only reason | haven't killed him yet.”

His words made both Ruby and Waylon pause in surprise.

“Does Natalie know you think this way?” Waylon asked, his expression serious.

Baron shook his head, smiling faintly. “Natalie will do what she chooses; everything she does has its own design.

| won't interfere. I've said it before-| respect any decision she makes.”

“You child... truly...” Ruby’s heart ached for him.

As Natalie's husband, it was impossible for her or Waylon not to investigate Baron's past. Although much had

been scrubbed clean, the essentials couldn't be hidden.

Ruby was a woman, and women were tender toward children. Seeing how sincerely Baron treated Natalie only

deepened her sympathy for him.

If he fought and schemed, | might fault him for it. But he doesn’t. He places Natalie above all else; this kind of

selfless devotion-what woman wouldn't be moved?

Baron caught the tenderness in Ruby’s eyes.

He smiled.

“Mom, if you think I'm worthy, could you be a little kinder tofrom now on? My mother passed away early. I'll

treat you and Dad as my own parents and honor you both.”

His words left Ruby’s chest tight with emotion.

“Of course.”

Waylon said nothing, but his gaze flickered.

Baron took another route and drove them back to the villa.

This time, no one stood in their way.

Flynn had already returned with the children.

Sean and Susie, seeing that Baron wasn’t home, crowded around Natalie, chattering nonstop about their outing.

“Mommy, guess what? Uncle is so handsome! When we went out shopping, girls kept coming up to talk to him-

but he just kept that stern face, so scary!”

Susie swung her legs, whispering her little secret to Natalie.

Flynn looked helpless.

“Susie, you're too young to know all that!”

“I know more than that, too.”

Susie puffed up, precocious as ever.

Sean hadn't spoken, but he was rummaging through his bag.

Natalie noticed and asked, “Sean, what are you looking for?”

“l got you a present, mommy.”

The words had barely left his mouth when Susie froze in surprise.
