Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 555 Gratitude Overrides All

Although he had guessed he might be Rachel's son, he didn't actually know why he was with the Luke family, nor could he guess. If possible, Jensen would rather not know any of this. But now, Rachel had essentially revealed the origin of the whole affair. Was it because Loretta couldn't have children, so she bought Rachel's child? Setting aside whether selling one's own son was a humane thing to do, the act of buying a child alone was enough to get Loretta arrested. This was illegal! Adding to that, the people surrounding them were all police officers. Jensen’s expression instantly darkened. "What are you standing there for? Can’t you see this madwoman is bullying my mother? Hurry up and pin Rachel down!" Hansel and the surrounding bodyguards looked as if they had just heard something world-shattering, all of them stunned. They only snapped back to reality when they heard Jensen’s roar and swarmed forward. The police officers also moved in. "What are you doing? Everyone, stop! We are the police!" Rachel and Loretta were already seeing red, completely past the point of caring whether they were police or not. From a distance, the father-son pair, Waylon and Flynn, watched this scene and found it rather peculiar. "Dad, what do you think Loretta and Rachel are saying? We’re too far away to hear clearly. Do you think it’s about Jensen’s parentage?" Seeing the gossip in Flynn’s eyes, Waylon couldn’t help but glare at him. "Are you here to listen to gossip? The most important thing right now is to watch Rachel and not let her escape." "Don’t worry, Dad. My brother-in-law just sent me a message. Rachel’s backup, James, has already been captured and is being held secretly. Rachel has lost her support; she can’t get away." Flynn’s words made Waylon’s eyes darken slightly. "She actually had external support! To think she was in our family for over twenty years... We have no idea what she’s done behind our backs all this time. Let’s just hope she hasn't done anything that will affect your older brother." Flynn’s expression also turned serious. "If there really is some kind of complication, is it too late for us to fix it?" Waylon shook his head. "We don’t know anything. As long as it doesn’t involve critical national affairs, it probably won’t be a major issue. But everything is an unknown. We were too trusting of that woman all these years. We never imagined the 'savior' who rescued your mother from the rooftop back then would turn out to be this kind of person." Flynn fell silent. The battle between Loretta and Rachel finally ended with the combined efforts of the Luke family bodyguards and the police, though the results were rather brutal. A large clump of Rachel’s hair had been ripped out, and Loretta’s face bore scratch marks from Rachel’s nails. Even though they were separated, they still looked like they wanted to tear each other to shreds, a sight that left the onlookers speechless. A police officer had to shout. "Alright! This is a public place! If you two assault each other again, I’m taking both of you back to the station." When Jensen heard they would take Loretta, he quickly moved forward with Hansel’s support and gripped Loretta’s hand tightly."Officer, I want to report this woman, Rachel. She poisoned me. My mother only lashed out because she was desperate to protect her son. Please, officer, you must help us." Rachel never imagined that the final straw that broke her would come from her own biological son. Her eyes crimson, she stared at Jensen and said, grief-stricken, "Jensen, are you sure you want to do this to me? Aren’t you afraid you’ll regret this later?" "I never do anything I regret! Besides, it’s a fact that you poisoned me—you said so yourself. Officer, she used the poison to threaten me, forcing me to use the Luke family’s private jet to get her out of Ocean City. I don't know if this woman is a wanted criminal, but anyone who would do this to me is definitely not a good person. That's why, when I called my assistant to arrange this, I had him ask the Stone family for help. Your appearance here is no accident." Jensen absolutely could not let Rachel publicly reveal that Loretta had bought a child over twenty years ago. Compared to his biological mother, Rachel, his debt of gratitude to Loretta was greater than heaven itself. He absolutely could not be an ungrateful bastard, and he couldn't let Rachel—a woman who would abandon and sell her own son—get her way. Rachel felt as if a knife had been viciously stabbed into her chest. She had been monitoring Jensen the whole time. He even made that call right under her nose. How did he get Hansel to notify the Stone family? "What did you do?" She struggled, desperately wanting to leap at Jensen and grab him by the collar to question him, but the people holding her kept her firmly pinned. "Jensen, I am..." "It doesn't matter what you are! I only know that my mother loves me very much, would never let me suffer any injustice, and would certainly never leave me with nothing!"
