“You have a grudge against the Stone family, I know. But right now, Jensen is the son of our Luke family. Back when Natalie was still an orphan, I didn’t interfere with her being close to Jensen. But now Natalie is the Stone family’s daughter. The Stone family is a century–old clan with businesses spread all over the world. If the Luke family can form a marriage alliance with the Stone family, the Luke family will definitely rise to the next level. Rachel, I am the matriarch of the Luke family. Of course I have to think about the Luke family.”

Rachel’s chest heaved violently with anger as she heard Loretta’s words.

“Don’t forget, Jensen is my son! If I say he can’t have any contact with Natalie, then he can’t!”

“And don’t you forget, he is now the head of the Luke family! He has a duty to lead the family forward. Rachel, aside from ensuring Jensen’s safety, you have no right to interfere in anything else. After all, you wouldn’t want Jensen to know that you’re his biological mother, would you?”

Loretta’s words made Rachel clench her teeth so hard she nearly shattered them.

If she had known Jensen would one day become entangled with Natalie, she never would have given him to Loretta to raise in the first place.

Furious, Rachel hung up the phone on the spot.

Loretta listened to the busy tone without much concern, though her eyes narrowed slightly.

Rachel was still a hidden danger.

If she really wanted to ruin Jensen and Natalie’s relationship, there was no guarantee Jensen wouldn’t learn the truth about his origins.

If her infertility became known, and if the rest of the Luke family learned about Jensen’s true identity, her days would be over.

No. That couldn’t happen.

For more than twenty years, she had long since regarded Jensen as her own son.

She would never allow Rachel to meddle in his life.

And with the Stone family’s power being such a boon to the Luke family, why should she refuse?

As long as Rachel died–or ended up a vegetable–Jensen’s identity would remain a secret forever.

With that thought, Loretta picked up her phone again and sent Jensen a message.

“Jensen, if you want to save Natalie, I won’t say much. Even though taking all of the Luke family’s liquid funds will surely upset the shareholders, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to the company or the family. I just heard a rumor–don’t know if it’s true or not–but it’s best for you to be cautious.”

At this moment, Loretta was indeed angry about Jensen taking all of the family’s funds. But once she thought of Rachel being Jensen’s biological mother, a pang of anxiety stirred in her chest.

Over the years, she told herself she had treated Jensen well. Maybe not with overwhelming affection, but she had done everything a mother should.

Now, to keep him by her side, she could only follow his heart.

So he wanted Natalie? Then let him have her.

So what if Natalie was married?

Her husband was nothing but a useless son–in–law.

As long as Natalie accepted Jensen again, wouldn’t the marriage alliance between the Stone and Luke families be as good as sealed?

Once cooperation was in place, with all the interests binding them together, even if Jensen’s real identity was exposed someday, so what?

The old men of the Luke family would forgive her deception for the sake of the Stone family’s benefits.

And if Natalie bore a child, that child would become the bridge tying the two families together.

Thinking it through, Loretta suddenly felt Jensen’s decision to save Natalie was perfect. But Jensen had no idea what was going on in Loretta’s mind.

He thought that taking all of the Luke family’s liquid funds would make her furious.

He was even prepared to be scolded harshly.

Yet he never expected that Loretta would actually support him.

Not only that, she even promised to hold the family and the company steady for him.

Jensen’s heart swelled with gratitude.

“Mom, you’re so good to me. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring Natalie back safely. I know this money is important to the Luke family, but once Natalie is back, I’ll make even more money for us. Trust me.”

“I believe you! You’re my son–if I don’t believe you, who else could I believe? You’ve devoted yourself to the family and the company all these years. I never said it out loud, but I always felt sorry for you. I only avoided speaking from the heart before because I didn’t want to distract you from fully taking over the company. Now I see your feelings for Natalie are real. Watching you suffer like this, I truly regret not stopping you from marrying Sharon back then. You’re my only son. As long as you can be happy, I won’t hold anything against you. But Jensen, be careful of the Stone family’s housekeeper, Rachel. She may be plotting against them. I don’t know if she had a hand in Natalie’s disappearance.”
