Chapter 239 Severing Ties
A threatened miscarriage<i>? </i>
Once, Jensen might have tolerated Sharon for the sake of his mother’s wish to have <b>a </b>grandchild. He would have let her carry the baby to term.
But now, that child no longer had any reason to be born.

Even if it was his, Sharon had once plotted to see Natalie burned alive. That debt had to be repaid. <fnef65> ?????? ???? find{n}ovel</fnef65>
And he would repay it with this child’s life.
Jensen’s eyes turned cold and merciless.
This was never a child he longed for, and certainly not a child born of him and Natalie. He didn’t care in the least.
He and Hansel arrived at the old estate at nearly the same time.
Loretta had just settled Sharon in when she saw Jensen walk in with Hansel–and awyer trailing behind them. Her heart gave a sudden lurch.
“Jensen, what are you doing? Sharon was already frightened half to death by you, and the baby almost didn’t make it. If you came back here to torment her again, then get out! I won’t allow anyone to harm my grandson!”
Loretta rushed to speak first, but unease gnawed at her. She felt as if something terrible was about to happen.
“Mom, step aside.”
Jensen’s tone was steady, neither loud nor soft, but it filled her with dread.
“Jensen, no matter what circumstances brought you and Sharon together, the child she carries is the Luke family’s only bloodline. Whatever grievances you have, let her deliver first, then deal with it after, all right?”
Loretta didn’t dare push <i>too </i>hard. Her son’s expression scared her. She hadn’t seen him <i>look </i>this
way in a very long time.
But Jensen didn’t even nce at her. Instead, he handed over the evidence from online.

Loretta’s eyes widened as she skimmed the files.

“How can this be? Sharon, so vicious? Impossible! This has to be Natalie’s trick–her way of scrubbing herself clean. She knows she’ll never be Mrs. Luke, never climb into high society, so she’s desperate. Otherwise why would she demand payment for five years of design work? Why target Sharon now?”
Everything, in Loretta’s eyes, was Natalie’s fault.
Jensen had expected his mother to see reason, but clearly he was wrong.
No wonder she had never allowed Natalie into the old estate in the five years they were together. She had always looked down on her.
Suddenly, Jensen found herughable.
And he didugh–low and bitter.
“Mom, Natalie doesn’t need to marry into this family to be high society. She already is. She’s the biological daughter of Waylon Stone from Stone Group. With Stone Group behind her, do you really think she cares about our Luke family? Do you honestly believe we stand higher than the Stones?”
Loretta was struck speechless.
“Who even knows if she’s really their child? She used to be a Summers too, didn’t she? And that turned out to be fake.”
Jensen, seeing her stubbornness, didn’t bother arguing further.
“Mom, Sharon’s scandal has already caused outside buyers to scoop up our shares. With this new exposure, do you realize what’s happening to thepany’s stock right now? Are you prepared to watch the Luke family copse for Sharon’s sake? Our shareholders could sell out at any moment. If that happens, we may lose control of Luke Corp altogether. Is that what you want?”
Loretta’s face went pale.
“How could this be? Isn’t this just our family’s private matter? Why is thepany involved?”
“This is reality. Do you want to see the numbers yourself?”
Panic finally broke through Loretta’sposure.
“Then what do we do? Jensen, what are you nning? That baby must not be harmed!”

“Mom, if you want a grandson, I’ll give you one. But the mother of the Luke heir will never be a venomous woman like Sharon.”
Without waiting for her reply, Jensen led thewyer toward Sharon’s room.
Loretta suddenly understood his decision.
A wave of grief washed over her.
“What a sin…”
She had longed for a grandson, but Jensen was right–Sharon’s scandal was too great. Neither thepany nor the family could survive it.
If the child was lost, another could be born.
But if the Luke family itself was lost, they would be finished.
epting this truth, Loretta suddenly seemed to age years. Her steps faltered, and only the butler’s quick hands kept her upright.
“Madam, what should we do?”
“Leave it. Jensen is head of the house now. Help me back to my room. I’m tired.”
And with that, Loretta walked away, shoulders heavy with defeat.
