Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 523 The Appointment

However, Hansel was stunned. The LN-380 jet? The Luke family did not own that jet. Although the Luke family was the royalty of Ocean City and did own a private jet, they only had one, and the number wasn't that! Hansel had worked for Jensen for many years, so naturally, they shared some level of understanding. He secretly suppressed his doubt and said quietly, "Understood, Mr. Jensen. I will go handle it right away. What time tonight?" Jensen looked at Rachel. Rachel desperately wanted to leave immediately, but she knew that was unrealistic. "Eight o’clock!" Rachel stated the time. Jensen said plainly, "Did you hear that? Eight o'clock! Be on time, and have our people prepared in advance. Do not be rude to my honored guest." "Understood, Mr. Jensen. Do you need me to come pick you up?" Hansel completely avoided mentioning how frantic Loretta was to find him. Because he already knew who the person with Jensen was: It was Rachel! Hansel remembered Jensen telling him that Rachel and Loretta had interacted more than twenty years ago, and there might be some undisclosed secret controlling them. Therefore, until he understood the full truth, he absolutely would not easily entrust Jensen’s life to Rachel.When Jensen heard Hansel ask that, he knew Hansel understood his meaning. He said flatly, "No need. As long as you safely send my honored guest out of Ocean City, I will be able to return safely. Tell my mother I’m out on a short vacation, and tell her not to worry about me. She’s an older woman; tell her to watch her blood pressure." Rachel, hearing Jensen express such concern for Loretta, was momentarily consumed by jealousy! This was clearly her son! Hers! Such an excellent son should be showing this kind of concern for her! It absolutely should not be for Loretta, that barren hen who couldn't lay an egg! Rachel never realized that her distorted, jealous expression was entirely visible to Jensen. This Rachel truly has a grudge against my mother! Jensen had already lowered his head when Rachel composed herself. He hung up the phone and pulled up Loretta’s number. As he was about to dial in front of Rachel, the phone was snatched away, just as he had suspected. "Now that the arrangements have been made, there’s no need for you to keep your phone. Your body needs to recover, so rest for a bit. Tonight at eight, you will escort me to the airport to board the plane. As long as I safely leave Ocean City, I promise I will not go back on my word." Rachel’s actions were exactly what Jensen expected, so he didn't resist at all. Besides, he genuinely felt tired. He wondered what exactly Rachel had given him and if it was harmful to his body. He swore to himself that he would make Rachel pay! Jensen narrowed his eyes, lay down, and quickly fell asleep, showing no signs of having been kidnapped and held hostage.Rachel was not angry at his state; instead, she was very pleased. He truly is her son. He didn’t even guard himself against her. This was due to their innate blood relation and was absolutely incomparable to that wretched Loretta, who only knew how to spend money to buy a child. Jensen didn't care what Rachel was thinking. He fell asleep shortly after lying down. Listening to Jensen’s steady breathing, Rachel gazed at his face with a greedy intensity. This child truly looked more and more like Simon. She had been determined to give birth to this child, putting everything on the line, genuinely for Simon's sake. However, the man who promised to return and marry her seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, with no word ever since. Rachel wanted to reach out and touch Jensen’s face, but she was afraid of startling him. Forget it. Once she safely left this place, and once she told Jensen everything, he would surely understand her. After all, everything she had done was for Jensen’s own good, wasn't it? The excellent life he had now was all thanks to her, Rachel’s, shrewd decision back then. Rachel comforted herself, then quickly left the room. She thoughtfully turned on the air conditioning and set it to the most comfortable temperature. Hansel contacted Loretta immediately after hanging up the phone. When Loretta learned that the person who took Jensen was Rachel, her anxiety reached its peak.What does this woman want? They had clearly settled everything over twenty years ago—goods exchanged for silver. Is this woman trying to go back on the deal? Is she coming back to steal her son? Jensen might not be her biological son, but she was the one who tirelessly raised him for over twenty years! What right does Rachel have to want both the money and the son now? Loretta’s hands were tightly clenched. She asked coldly, "Did Jensen say what she wants?"
