Chapter 276 Pay Up Or Shut Up

Natalie's brows knit tightly together.

Jensen clearly had an agenda that had nothing to do with business.

Thinking about what he had done to Baron not long ago, Natalie felt truly sickened.

“Fine, | understand. Tomorrow morning at nine-thirty, I'll go to Luke Corp with you.”

Natalie had no desire to deal with Jensen; but the way he kept hounding her was already disrupting her life with

Baron.

This time, she was determined to put an end to it once and for all.

Only after hearing her confirm the tdid Rigel hang up.

He pocketed his phone, then looked across the table at Jensen, his expression tense.

“Mr. Jensen, I've done exactly as you asked. Ms. Stone has agreed to meet. Now can you my wife and child?”

Jensen curved his lips into a smile, a glint of madness flickering in his eyes.

“Once | see Natalie tomorrow, and once you helpdo what | want, your wife and child will be just fine.”

Rigel burned with anger, but he didn’t dare act rashly; all he could do was walk out first.

Jensen, meanwhile, pulled Natalie's photo from Twitter, had someone restore it to high resolution, printed it, and

carefully placed it into a photo album on his desk.

Staring at her radiant smile in the picture, his gaze softened without him even realizing.

“Natalie, we'll start over from the beginning.”

His fingers gently traced the edge of the photo as if it were really her; to him, that was reason enough to be

tender.

When Hansel knocked and cin, this was exactly what he saw.

He froze for a moment, then quickly hid his reaction and spoke quietly. “Mr. Jensen, I've gone through Luke

Corp's liquid assets as you instructed. Based on Ms. Stone's design pricing, there isn’t enough to cover her

design fees from the past five years. And the shareholders are against

paying her.”

“What right do they have to oppose it?”

Jensen's voice turned cold.

He stood, looking out at the employees outside his office. “Five years ago, when | took over Luke Corp, it was

nothing but an empty shell. Without Natalie's designs and my management, would it ever have reached what it

is today? Maybe they've lived comfortably for too long; they've forgotten what those days were like.”

He tossed the pen in his hand into the trash and let out a cold laugh. “Since their memories are so poor, let's

remind them.”

Hansel blinked in surprise, then suddenly understood.

“Mr. Jensen, you mean...”

“Do it; keep it discreet. | want every shareholder's signature before midnight. And as for

past five Natalie's design fees, they won't just cout of the company’s liquid assets. For the years, every

shareholder has been pocketing dividends thanks to her work; whatever they ate, they can cough back up now.”

Jensen had never been a saint.

Hansel suddenly felt like he was staring at the sJensen from five years ago-the reckless man who had gone

all in for Luke Corp's rise.

Only now, Jensen was doing it for Natalie. If only he had treated Ms. Stone like this earlier... maybe things

between them wouldn't have cto this point. But now... is it already too late?

Complicated emotions churned in Hansel’s chest as he left.

Meanwhile, Baron and the Waylon father-and-son duo quickly finalized and signed the contract; only then did

the three of them walk out of the study.

Natalie was with the children, playing games, while Ruby hovered protectively at their side, afraid they might

bump into something.

The harmony of the scene filled Baron with a surge of emotion.

How many times had he dreamed of something like this?

Back then, his mother had still been alive; in his dreams, he brought his wife and children home, and his mother

fussed over them like Ruby was doing now, chatting happily with his

wife.

Now, at last, that dream had becreality-only his mother wasn’t here anymore.

Baron couldn't nthe feeling in his chest.

There was joy in his happiness, yet also a lonely ache from remembering his mother.

Waylon, too, hadn’t seen Ruby smile so brightly in years.

After their daughter's death, Ruby’s mental state had been fragile, swinging between good days and bad. At

home, no one dared raise their voice; they hadn't even dared let her hear a baby’s cry, afraid it would set her

off.

Now, watching her dote on her grandchildren like any ordinary grandmother, Waylon’s eyes grew damp.

Flynn whispered, “Dad, my sister really is this family’s lucky star. Look at Mom-she’s practically healed.”

“Yes, your sister is our family’s blessing. From now on, no matter what, we'll protect her and her children.”

With that, Waylon stepped forward toward Ruby.

“Grandpa!”

Sean and Susie spotted him first and rushed to him at once.
