Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 501: The Best Man in the World Before Baron could utter a single word, Natalie cut in swiftly. "My husband has more than enough money. Don't just throw out a hundred million-he could easily come up with a billion! Jensen, don't underestimate people like that!" she declared firmly, her voice unwavering. Jensen's face instantly fell, clearly wounded by Natalie's fierce defense of Baron. "Natalie, he's nothing but a useless live-in son-in-law. Why are you trying to defend him?
Even though his last name is Gunn, does he truly belong in the Gunn family? A billion? If this Baron can really produce a billion, then maybe I'll admit he's better," Jensen sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. Baron's eyes flashed with anger as he shot back immediately, "I don't want someone like you as a descendant. If I did, I'd probably be driven mad with frustration." Jensen clenched his chest in irritation, his voice sharp as a blade. "Enough! Your mouth is your only talent. Besides that, what else do you have? Baron, it's wise to know your limits.
Don't get a big head." "Natalie!" Baron called out, his voice tense. Natalie could no longer hold back. When Baron first told her he was the Stone family's live-in son-in-law, she thought it was a bit improper, but Baron assured her he understood his place and was comfortable with it. But now, hearing Jensen belittle Baron so cruelly-and noticing the sneers and smirks from those around them-Natalie's heart ached deeply. Baron was not some worthless live-in son-in-law!

Even if she put aside his identity as the Godfather, the wealth of Grant International Holdings alone rivaled that of the entire Stone family. To think that the dignified Chairman of Grant International Holdings was being mocked by someone like Jensen ignited a fierce blaze of anger within her. Sensing Natalie's rising temper, Baron quickly intervened. "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's just leave." "Natalie, don't go with him," Jensen pleaded desperately. "Where could he possibly take you to live?
It's just a hotel, and hotels are far from safe right now." But Natalie, with a sudden sharpness, slapped him across the face without hesitation. Jensen was stunned, his expression frozen in shock. "Natalie?" he gasped. "Jensen, we broke up a long time ago. From now on, please call me Ms. Stone. Using 'Natalie' like we used to is inappropriate between us. And my husband is the best man in the world. If I ever hear you mock or belittle him again, don't blame me for being harsh," she said, her eyes blazing with fury that cut through Jensen's gaze like fire.
His eyes reddened, voice trembling with a mixture of pain and grievance. "Natalie, I admit I made mistakes before, but who hasn't? Just because I slipped up once, are you going to condemn me forever? What exactly makes me worse than this so-called useless Baron?" "You don't even come close to him in any way!" Natalie replied firmly. Without another word, she grabbed Baron's hand and led him toward the car. Ruby stepped forward, her eyes narrowing as she fixed Jensen with a piercing gaze. "So, you're Jensen?
The same Jensen who dated my daughter for five years but ended up registering his marriage with Sharon? The Jensen who was willing to hand over all my daughter's glory to Sharon? The Jensen who, knowing Sharon ordered someone to break my daughter's hand, still used his influence to force my daughter to swallow all the injustice? Or are you the Jensen who listened to Sharon's provocations and left my daughter trapped in that huge fire, nearly burning her alive?" With each question, Ruby's eyes grew wetter and redder, her hatred deepening like a dark storm.
Jensen recognized Ruby, though he'd never had the chance to meet her before. Now, as she approached and asked if he was Jensen, a flicker of hope sparked inside him. If Ruby accepted him and liked him, perhaps there was still a chance to rekindle things with Natalie. But before that hope could blossom, Ruby's next words plunged him into despair. Under her sharp gaze and relentless questioning, the weight of his past mistakes crushed him, leaving him unable to offer any defense. "I'm sorry. I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have treated Natalie the way I did.
But I've realized my mistakes now, and I'm sincere about making things right with her. We have five years of history. Natalie's just angry with me; she still has feelings for me!" he pleaded. Smack! Ruby's hand came down hard, slapping him across the face. "I've wanted to do that for a long time!" she said, trembling with rage. Her daughter, whom she had cherished above all else, had been hurt and betrayed by Jensen in unimaginable ways. And now, Jensen came begging for forgiveness, claiming he had changed. Could everything be fixed just by admitting fault?
If it weren't for Baron, Natalie might not even be alive today. Where would Ruby be without her daughter? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she raised her hand again to strike. "Jensen, I'm warning you-stay away from my daughter from now on! Otherwise, the Stone family will make sure your Luke family pays dearly!" Ruby had lived a life of comfort and ease, and her strength wasn't what it used to be. After slapping Jensen twice, she was visibly exhausted, her breaths coming in ragged gasps.
Conclusion The confrontation laid bare the deep wounds and fierce loyalties that defined these intertwined lives. Natalie's unwavering defense of Baron, despite the scorn from Jensen and others, revealed her profound love and respect for the man she chose to stand by. Her transformation from a woman caught between past affections and present truths to someone who boldly claims her own identity marked a pivotal moment of emotional clarity and strength. The chapter underscored themes of dignity, resilience, and the courage to reject toxic ties in favor of authentic connections.
