When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Better Be Telling the Truth

When James heard this, he was instantly thrilled.

“What? Master Sunny actually took my son as her final disciple? Wonderful, wonderful! My son truly is blessed! Thank you, Mr. Baron! Thank you! From now on, my life–James‘ life–belongs to you and your wife. I’ll do whatever you ask, without question.”

As he spoke, James tried to prostrate himself before Baron, but his hands and feet were bound, and he couldn’t struggle free.

Baron waved his hand and said, “I have plenty of subordinates; I’m not short one more. However, you’re good at making money, which is a plus. I have a lot of businesses that need managing. If your sincerity is genuine, I’ll consider promoting you. Also, your son has a new name. He’s called Holt now.”

“Holt? Good, that’s great! That name sounds so sophisticated. The boy will definitely have a bright future with you. Mr. Baron, as long as you have a use for me, I, James, will go through fire and water for you. It’s just… I really don’t know much about our boss. But there is someone who might.”

James‘ words made Baron pause slightly. “Who?”

“The boss placed her by my side to watch me. She definitely knows a lot about him. If you can find her, it might be helpful to you.”

Baron mused for a moment, then said, “Rachel has already been captured. As her collaborator, your failure to show up immediately must have put them on guard. They might have already reported your arrest. That woman isn’t necessarily still in Ocean City.”

“She’s here. She knew about my business with Rachel, but she wasn’t involved. She had other things to do.”

“What things?”

“It seems she went to find someone. I don’t know who. The boss gave her the order directly. She left yesterday evening and probably won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon. She might not know about

Rachel’s arrest.”

Hearing this, Baron immediately gave a meaningful look. Shauna moved quickly to investigate, but then paused. “What’s the woman’s name?”

“Alice.”

“A foreigner?” Shauna couldn’t help but tease.

But James shook his head. “No, she’s not a foreigner. To be precise, she isn’t. She’s one of us.”

“How can you be sure?” Baron felt that for James to have earned so much money, he must be a decent judge of character.

James licked his lips and said, “When she serves me, many of her habits are just like a foreign woman’s. Even if she isn’t one, she must have been trained by foreigners. As a man, I have to say, her skills are truly exquisite.”

“Hah! Your woman, Beth, has been living a life worse than death for your son these past two years, and here you are, enjoying nights of pleasure with another woman. And now you’re even praising her ‘skills‘? James, you really are despicable!”

Shauna was a woman, so naturally, she couldn’t stand James‘ behavior. Baron, however, said nothing.

He had Shauna send people to find the ledgers and money, while he himself made James sign the

donation contract.

“Untie him. Have the family doctor come and check on him. Try not to let him die.”

After giving the orders, Baron looked at James and said flatly, “Everything you’ve said had better be true. And you’d better be sincere about wanting to join me, and not be here as a mole for your boss. Otherwise, I will make you regret being alive in this world. You should know, I have plenty of methods.”

“Mr. Baron, I guarantee everything I said is true. I really do want to leave the boss. If I stay with him, I’ll die sooner or later.”

Baron had no reaction to James‘ words. He had seen too many different kinds of people. What James was saying now seemed sincere, but who knew if it was an act?

If it was an act, he would have just exposed Natalie. As the young lady of the Stone family, Natalie was already a target. If people also found out she was Mr. Baron’s woman, her life would probably never be peaceful again.
