Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
Hansel quickly shouted, "What are you standing there for? Restrain Rachel! Don't let her hurt the Madam." Rachel was fast. In that brief moment, she had already landed a hard slap on Loretta. Loretta’s eyes turned red with fury. "You dare hit me! You shameless bitch, I'll tear you apart today!" The two quickly descended into a brawl, grappling with each other. Seeing this, Jensen’s temples throbbed violently. "Quick! Pull them apart!" The bodyguards immediately swarmed forward and pinned Rachel flat on the ground. Loretta's hair was a mess and her face was already swelling. She looked nothing like a noble matriarch. She glanced at Jensen. Seeing his eyes filled with worry for her, she felt her own eyes begin to sting. "Well?" She looked at the son she had raised for over twenty years. Jensen had only been guessing before, but seeing Loretta’s expression now, his suspicion felt more and more real. He felt a complex mix of emotions, but he said, word by word, "You are my mother, the Matriarch of the Luke family. Not just any random person can bully you! I don't care who she is. Today, she hit you, which means she disrespected me. Men! Slap Rachel twenty times." As soon as Jensen spoke, Rachel froze completely, then began to struggle wildly."Jensen, you dare hit me? Don't you know you'll be struck by lightning if you do this?" Jensen paid no attention to her words. He said coldly, "I haven't even settled the score with you for holding me hostage, and now you dare hit my mother. Did you really think I'd obey you just to stay alive because you poisoned me? Rachel, listen closely. My life, Jensen's life, was given to me by my mother! Without my mom, Loretta, I wouldn't be here today! I'll kill anyone who dares to bully my mom! You should count yourself lucky that I still need your antidote. Otherwise, you wouldn't be leaving this airport alive!" Hearing Jensen say this, Loretta’s tears streamed down instantly. She hadn't raised this son in vain; her love hadn't been wasted. She had originally thought Jensen would blame her, leave her, and ignore her after learning his true origins. Now, hearing his words and seeing his actions, Loretta felt it would all be worth it, even if she died right now. She had initially viewed Jensen merely as a tool to control the Luke family, raising him only to ensure her own comfortable old age. But it wasn't until this moment that Loretta clearly realized: she loved her son, Jensen! He wasn't her biological son, but the countless moments over more than twenty years had long since forged an inseparable mother-son bond. She didn't want Rachel to take Jensen away! She didn't want her son to abandon her. Now that Jensen was resolutely defending her, Loretta felt everything was worth it. But what did Jensen mean earlier about an antidote? When Rachel heard Jensen, she was so furious her blood practically froze. But before she could speak, a bodyguard had already swung his arm. "Ah!" The sharp sound of slapping and Rachel’s pained screams instantly echoed throughout the airport.Loretta watched with cold eyes, doing nothing to stop it. After twenty slaps, Rachel's face was swollen like a pig's head. She glared viciously at Loretta, spat out a mouthful of blood, and snarled through gritted teeth, "Loretta, don't get complacent. When he finds out the truth, your fate will be worse than mine." Loretta frowned slightly. What did she mean? Did Jensen still not know his origins? Had Rachel not told him? Loretta looked at Rachel in confusion. Just then, a large group of people suddenly flooded in, completely surrounding Rachel and the others. "Jensen, you betrayed me?" Rachel’s first instinct was to grab Jensen, but with Loretta there, how could she be allowed to succeed? Most importantly, Jensen had just clearly declared that Loretta was his only mother. "You old bitch! Still trying to grab my son? You don't deserve to!" Loretta lunged forward, grabbed Rachel’s hair, and the two women once again collapsed into a rolling brawl. Rachel was already devastated by her biological son’s betrayal. Now, seeing Loretta scoring points with him like this, she no longer cared about escaping. She had to win this fight, no matter what. "Loretta, you shameless old slut! You can't even have your own children, so you buy someone else's seed! How dare you act so smug in front of me? If it weren't for me, how could you have become the Matriarch of the Luke family? How could you have lived so lavishly all these years? Everything you have, I gave you! And now you dare to treat me like this? You ungrateful wretch!" Jensen had been about to step forward and pull them apart, but when he heard Rachel’s words, he froze completely.
