Chapter 238 The Last Straw
Could Phantom have been Sharon’s person too?
Only now did Jensen realize just how many holes there had been back then.
He could have discovered the truth earlier, could have prevented it all–but he hadn’t.
At that time, his heart and eyes had been full of Sharon.
So Natalie had almost burned to death, hadn’t she?
Her radiant face now must have been rebuilt through surgery.
Her skin must have been destroyed in that fire.
Just how much pain had she endured with such massive grafts?
And he hadn’t known a thing.

When Natalie had needed him most, he had chosen Sharon. When Natalie was fighting for her life, he hadn’t been there.
No wonder she would never forgive him.
If the roles had been reversed, he knew he wouldn’t forgive himself either.
His chest ached as though pierced by knives.
“Sharon!”
Jensen wanted nothing more than to kill her with his own hands.
At that moment, Hansel called,
“Mr. Jensen, bad news. Ms. Summers just got exposed online.”
The words didn’t surprise Jensen at all.
Natalie had sent him those videos before the scandal broke–clearly she hadn’t intended to give him time to cover it up.
She never believed he would deal with Sharon.

His Natalie no longer trusted him.
That realization cut deeper than anything.
“I know,” he said, his voice heavy with exhaustion.

Hansel, caught off guard by his calm, asked, “Do we need to take action? She’s still legally Mrs. Luke. The group has already lost a significant portion of shares to outsiders after recent events. With this news out, the company may…”
Jensen’s eyes narrowed.
“Have the lawyers draft divorce papers.”
Hansel froze for a beat but knew it was the only option.
“I’ll handle it right away.”
“Deliver them to the old house in half an hour. I’m heading there now. Have PR contain the narrative online until I arrive.”
“Understood.”
Hansel hung up.
Jensen stared at the villa just a short distance away, his heart heavy.
He owed Natalie far too much.
But Sharon had once saved his life. Even if he divorced her, he couldn’t bring himself to take hers.
For the first time, Jensen wished the person who had saved him five years ago hadn’t been Sharon.
Still, he didn’t want to leave.
He wanted to stay and wait for Natalie.
He knew he couldn’t enter the villa, but Natalie would have to come out eventually.
As long as she did, there might still be a chance for forgiveness.
But Sharon’s scandal was too big.

The company couldn’t withstand it.

He could protect Sharon’s life out of gratitude, but he couldn’t let her drag down the entire Luke family and corporation.
So he started the engine and drove toward the old Luke estate.
Sharon, rattled after Jensen had lashed out at her, was visibly shaken despite Loretta’s attempts to comfort her.
Just then, the family doctor Hansel had sent arrived.
Hearing Jensen had called him, Loretta assumed her son was simply regretting things and quickly said, “Sharon, you see? Jensen still cares about you and the baby. Whatever disagreements you’ve had, let the doctor check you. If anything happens to this child, both Jensen and I would be heartbroken.”
Sharon hadn’t wanted the examination, but Loretta’s words made her falter.
Yes.
The child in her womb was her only bargaining chip now.
If she lost that, she would have nothing.
Even if her terminal cancer was exposed as a lie, as long as the baby was healthy, she still had a chance to turn things around.
So Sharon allowed the doctor to proceed.
He was thorough.
“Ms. Summers is showing signs of a threatened miscarriage. She’ll need bed rest for the time being.”
Loretta let out a relieved sigh.
“Fine, fine. I’ll see to it she doesn’t get out of bed again.”
She instructed the staff to prepare a room and attendants.
The doctor left soon after.
But once outside, he immediately called Jensen.

“Mr. Jensen, aside from the risk of miscarriage, Ms. Summers is otherwise healthy. I ran a detailed check–she shows no signs of cancer whatsoever.”
Jensen had already suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed, he gave a bitter laugh.
So it only took a different doctor to break Sharon’s lie.
And yet, he had never once thought to do that.
“I understand. That’s enough. You can return now.”
After ending the call, Jensen pressed harder on the gas, speeding toward the estate.
