Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
Although this video explained Xenon’s death, Yvonne’s identity swap, and the possibility that Natalie’s swap was connected to the masked man, it provided few other clues. Yvonne nodded and said, "The driver at the time saw my parents die and didn’t dare to show himself. He even hid this DV and lived under an assumed name until my uncle adopted Aiden, continuing my father's bloodline. The driver then attempted to contact Aiden, but unfortunately, Aiden was controlled by Logan and wasn't free." Speaking of this, Yvonne sighed, saying, "Aiden is very pitiful. He has been controlled by Logan since childhood and constantly confined to the basement. His health is also poor. After the driver gave him this item, Aiden held onto life just to protect it. He said the driver guessed I was still alive and asked him to wait until the day I returned to the Stone family to bring this item out." Baron’s frown deepened upon hearing this. "The water in your Stone family runs too deep. We haven’t even found a clue about this masked man, and now a Logan has popped up. Whatever Logan has been doing at the ancestral home these years must have been supported by someone behind the scenes. If we could only find this mastermind, we might be able to follow the trail and uncover more things." Natalie nodded. "Yes, I wonder how my father is doing. I was kidnapped before, and they said it was directed at my elder brother, but neither the child swap twenty years ago nor Logan’s malice seems directly related to my elder brother, right?" Baron felt his head buzzing. "Yes, currently it doesn't seem related, but who knows for sure? Let’s take things one step at a time. Right now, we need to figure out the Logan situation and also find Rachel." Speaking of this, Baron suddenly smiled. "What are you laughing about?" Natalie and Yvonne looked at him in confusion.Baron chuckled, "So this Jensen is actually Rachel's son, not a Luke family child at all. No wonder Loretta contacted Rachel. However, on the ship in international waters, Rachel seemed about to tell Jensen something, but Jensen shot and wounded Rachel. I wonder how Rachel felt at that moment. But since then, Rachel seems to have vanished. She didn't return to Ocean City, nor did she stay in international waters. She's vanished into thin air. Isn't that a bit unusual?" At this point, Baron composed himself and looked at Natalie and Yvonne, asking word for word, "Do you think Rachel is still alive? Would Loretta tolerate her telling Jensen the truth about his parentage?" Natalie and Yvonne fell silent. Since Rachel was neither seen alive nor found dead, they truly couldn't say. "Jensen’s parentage doesn't have much to do with us. Our main priority now is to find Rachel. Only by finding her can we know some of the details from back then. My mother was distraught when she found out the baby died, so my father definitely couldn’t focus on anything else. Rachel might know something. Besides, if she truly didn't know anything, why did she stop my mother from attempting suicide? Why did she stay as our family’s benefactor in the Stone family for over twenty years? I think there is a problem here." Natalie stated her opinion. Yvonne also nodded. "Yes, Rachel is a key figure. If necessary, maybe we should talk to Loretta; perhaps she knows something." Hearing Yvonne say this, Natalie shook her head. "To go to Loretta, we would have to bring up the matter of her buying a child back then. That has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to get involved in the Luke family’s karma. Moreover, Loretta is not as benevolent as she appears on the surface. Unless absolutely necessary, we should avoid any involvement with the Luke family." Although Natalie hadn't interacted much with Loretta, she did have some contact during her five years with Jensen.A person capable of quickly establishing and consolidating a strong network of relationships for Jensen using her contacts after her husband’s death is definitely not an ordinary person. Baron was the last person who wanted Natalie to be involved with the Luke family. Hearing Natalie’s response, he quickly nodded. "Exactly! We won’t concern ourselves with the Luke family’s affairs. We’ll only deal with them if we encounter them." Natalie was not at all surprised by Baron’s reply. She glanced at Baron, then noticed that Ruby was staring intently at the screen, her hands tightly clenched around the edge of her clothing, her face alarmingly pale. "Mom! Are you alright?" Ruby hadn't spoken since she entered, and she was seated in the innermost spot, causing Natalie and the others to overlook her presence. Now, seeing Ruby in this state, Natalie suddenly realized that Ruby was, in effect, the main subject of this story. Previously, due to severe emotional volatility, she couldn't fully process many things. Seeing it now as an outside observer, how immense must the shock be for her!
