Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 520 The Mother’s Struggle

Rachel was so angry that her chest hurt. She instinctively clutched her chest and gasped for air. Just then, Jensen, who had pulled a stick from who knows where, swung it at Rachel’s head. "Die!" Jensen's movements were swift, fierce, and accurate, giving Rachel no time to prepare. At this moment, there was no trace of his previous clown-like behavior on his face. Clearly, he had been faking it earlier. The murderous intent in Jensen's eyes was so intense, the coldness spreading from Rachel's bones made her dizzy from the blow. Her lips trembled, and feeling a warm liquid trickling down her forehead, she knew her head was bleeding. Her good son had tried to kill her, one after another? Rachel suddenly burst into loud laughter, though tears streamed from her eyes. Jensen was slightly stunned that his full-force blow hadn't knocked Rachel down. Hearing her mad laughter, he suddenly felt strange. "You truly are not a normal person." Jensen said this and swung the stick again, but Rachel snatched it away and fiercely slapped him across the face. "Did you really think I was powerless? If I wasn't holding back for your sake, do you think you could have hurt me repeatedly?" Rachel's gaze was somewhat savage. She grabbed Jensen's neck and pinned him forcefully against the headboard.Jensen was completely weak. The strength he had managed to muster for the last unsuccessful attack was gone. He was now at her mercy. Blood continued to drip from Rachel's head, but she seemed oblivious. Her eyes, filled with complex emotions, stared intensely at Jensen, and the strength in her grip did not lessen much. "Cough, cough, what exactly do you want?" Jensen tried to struggle, but there was little oxygen in his lungs, and he had no strength left. He was grinding his teeth in anger, wishing he could bite this old witch to death. Rachel had never imagined that one day she would face such loathing and hatred in the eyes of her own son. She felt a pain in her heart that was worse than the wound on her head. Seeing Jensen on the verge of choking, Rachel’s heart softened after all. "You help me with a favor, and I'll tell you a secret, how about that?" Jensen felt like he was about to be strangled. To think he was the dignified CEO of Luke Corp. Besides Natalie, who didn't fawn over him in front of others? Yet, this old woman in front of him was actually trying to strangle him! It was outrageous. However, Jensen thought of Natalie. This old woman was definitely involved in Natalie's being switched at birth. If he could find out the truth about Natalie’s switch from this old woman, wouldn't his hope of pursuing Natalie again greatly increase? Thinking this, Jensen coughed and said, "Let go of me first. It’s not impossible for me to help, but you must honestly tell me the truth about the secret I want to know. Don't try to fool me!" Rachel's eyes immediately brightened slightly upon hearing this. "Don’t worry. Whatever you want to know, I promise to tell you everything without omission." Jensen found the enthusiastic Rachel to be overly eager, but he didn’t dwell on it. The most important thing now was to get her to let go. He patted Rachel's arm and coughed dryly. Rachel then released Jensen and quickly grabbed a nearby glass of water, offering it to him. Jensen didn't care whether there was anything in the water now. He was coughing severely and instinctively took two sips, which finally made him feel a little better. "Are you hungry? Should I have someone get you something to eat?" Rachel quickly asked. Jensen’s brow furrowed slightly. "No need. I just want to go home quickly now. What do you want me to help you with? I'm telling you, I won't do anything illegal or disorderly." Jensen stated his boundary upfront. Rachel looked at Jensen this way and finally contained her emotions. She took a deep breath and said, "I have no other choice, which is why I'm asking for your help. I don't need you to do anything illegal. I just need you to use Luke Corp's capabilities to secretly get me out of Ocean City." "You can't leave Ocean City? Who did you offend? Or did you commit a crime?" Jensen’s mind immediately started working. Rachel shook her head and said, "I haven't committed any crime or offended anyone. Someone is trying to harm me. As long as you send me out of Ocean City and ensure my safe departure, I will tell you a secret you don't know." "I can send you out, but the secret I want to know is the truth about Natalie being switched at birth more than twenty years ago."
