Chapter 141 The Exploding Notebook Chapter 141 The Exploding Notebook Marrying him - she might actually be happy . 69 +10 Free Coins The courthouse visit was swift . With Baron's wealth smoothing every step , they walked straight in and walked out with marriage certificates in hand , no waiting required . Natalie stared down at the little red booklet in her palm , dazed . Married ? Just like that ? Baron , terrified she might rethink it , plucked the certificate from her grasp . " You spend all day using your brain on designs . Let me handle things like keeping track of important documents .
" He tucked both booklets safely away , snapped a photo , and immediately posted it to his social feed . The excitement in his eyes was contagious . Natalie reached out , lacing her fingers through his . Baron nearly burst with joy , his eyes lighting like twin stars . While he reveled in triumph , Jensen's world was collapsing . Hansel had finally managed to get Jensen's phone functioning again , but when Jensen scrolled through its contents , his face drained of color . The contract - the ironclad authorization agreement binding all of Sunny's designs to him - was gone . " What's going on ?
" He clawed through every folder , frantic . " There was a contract in here . Where is it ? Can you recover it ? " The hacker examined the device and shook his head . " No. It's been destroyed . Completely . " At the same time , word arrived from the company : the tender baseline data for several bids had leaked , and clients were demanding updated proposals . Jensen's temples pounded . " Hansel , get R & D to redo everything . Overtime pay , double it if you have to . " " Yes , sir ." Hansel hesitated . " Don't you want to come to the office yourself ? " " I have other matters .

Hands shaking , he flipped it open . A sharp bang cracked through the air . The machine detonated in his lap . Jensen screamed as fire and shrapnel burst outward , his hand catching the brunt of it .
Pain seared through him - when he looked down , a finger was gone , blasted clean away . Blood gushed between his clenched knuckles as he staggered , shrieking for an ambulance . His eyes , burning red with fury , narrowed to slits . " Natalie ... do you hate me so much you'd rather kill me ? " Trembling , he remembered . He had bought that notebook for her five years ago , her first birthday gift after he brought her into his home . She had promised she would use it until the end of time . Now it had become a bomb , robbing him of flesh and bone .
Hansel arrived just as paramedics rushed Jensen away . Sharon , hearing of the accident , drove like a demon , but reached only in time to see the ambulance blaze past . She screeched to a stop outside Grand Pavilion , teeth grinding , then turned her wheel toward the hospital . By the time she arrived , Jensen was already in emergency surgery . Sharon , breathless and wild - eyed , saw Hansel in the hall and kicked him hard . " How did this happen ? How could Mr. Luke lose a finger under your watch ? " Hansel winced but did not argue .
