Chapter 183 Breaking Point Chapter 183 Breaking Point That one - on - one confrontation with Natalie had already made Jensen realize she'd set him up . The company's stock must have been plummeting by now , panic spreading like wildfire . And Hansel still hadn't arrived . His phone had been dead silent , likely jammed . Jensen knew exactly what that meant . Natalie had powerful forces backing her . This retaliation had come like a storm , leaving him no room to breathe .

But Jensen had never imagined Natalie would drag Sharon into it - using such a degrading way to strip them both of dignity . Was this really the same Natalie who once wouldn't even dare step on an ant ? His chest ached . He couldn't tell if it was disappointment , heartache , or both . His eyes blurred as he looked across the crowd at Natalie , emotions too tangled to name . Natalie felt his gaze but didn't spare him a glance . So this was what it meant to be truly done - with love , with patience , with everything . When there's nothing left , even speaking another word feels like too much .

Sharon , sprawled indecently on the ground again , screamed and cursed , spitting the vilest insults at Natalie . Natalie stood calm and quiet , watching without responding , as if Sharon's words had been meant for someone else entirely . The humiliation burned Jensen until his last thread of reason snapped . " Shut up ! " His glare was sharp enough to cut , a blade that stabbed straight through Sharon . She had never seen him like this . A shiver ran through her before her eyes welled with tears . " Jensen , I was framed ! It was her ! She set me up !

" 1/3 Chapter 183 Breaking Point Natalie only smiled faintly . To Jensen , that smile was blindingly cruel . He bit down hard and said through clenched teeth , " What nonsense are you spouting ? She was downstairs talking business with me earlier . She's been gone for a long time . Sharon , you've really outdone yourself . " Today , Jensen's pride - inside and out - was ripped away by Natalie , laid bare before everyone . He had thought to fight back , but in that instant , he let go . If this was her revenge , he would accept it .

He had wronged her too deeply - forcing her into the flames , nearly costing her life . Compared to that , this humiliation was nothing . Yes , Sharon had once saved him . He couldn't strike her down with his own hands . But if Natalie wanted to , maybe he didn't have to stop her . Strangely , the thought brought him a sliver of release . He turned back to Natalie . He said nothing , but his eyes were soft , as if he would gladly give her his life without regret . It was enough to make Baron bristle with rage . " So this is Mr. Jensen's wife ?

Quite the taste you have - unique , " Baron said coolly , lacing his words with both mockery and warning . Jensen's gaze snapped to him , narrowing sharply . This man - he remembered him from the product launch , standing at Natalie's side . Was it him all along , helping her from the shadows ? Who was he ? Jensen's hawk - like stare locked onto Baron , searching . But Natalie had lost interest in the spectacle . " Let's go ." She slipped her arm through Baron's , leaning on him sweetly . The sight made Jensen's chest clench painfully . 2/3 " Natalie ! " " Jensen !

" He tried to go after her , but Sharon wrapped herself around his leg , sobbing miserably . " Jensen , I swear I was framed ! Please believe me ! " " Let go !

When I was downstairs with Mr. Jensen , the coffee the barista brought seemed off .

Luckily , I didn't drink it ." Her words were calm , almost casual . Then she looped her arm tighter around Baron's and walked away without a backward glance . The crowd froze . " My God ! Does this mean there's a bigger conspiracy ? " " Where's the barista ? Find the barista first - there could be more to this !" The reporters ' instincts flared , and they rushed into action . Meanwhile , Jensen and Sharon stood stunned . Why ... why would Natalie speak up for Sharon now ? 3/3
