Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 281: If This Woman Is Your Mother, Then What Am I?

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: If This Woman Is Your Mother, Then What Am I?

Confronting the man’s eyes as cold and sharp as blades, Jeanette Lane’s heart inexplicably stirred with panic.

Her gaze flickered, and her presence weakened in an instant.

"Second Master, you truly don’t know the real face of Serena Summers, she’s not as simple as she appears..."

"Shut up!" Lucas Shaw barked sternly, cutting off Jeanette Lane’s next words.

With a sarcastic squint, he said coldly, "Your husband is currently eloping with another woman, taking their illegitimate child with them. Are you sure you want to waste time here?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Jeanette Lane’s complexion turned ghastly white, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Lucas Shaw sneered coldly, "If you don’t leave now, they’ll be boarding a plane to go abroad."

"No... It can’t be!" Jeanette Lane shook her head frantically, her eyes instantly reddening.

She looked up at Lucas Shaw, striving to find a trace of lying in his eyes.

However... The man’s gaze was calm and deep, like a still and bottomless cold pond, unperturbed by any ripple.

Jeanette Lane’s heart plunged sharply, and she turned and fled in panic.

She hailed a taxi by the roadside and instructed the driver to head to the airport.

Along the way, she clutched her phone tightly, calling Henry Summers hopelessly.

However, no one answered.

The phone remained turned off.

At first, she didn’t believe what Lucas Shaw had said, but he had no reason to lie.

Associating this with the sudden change in Henry Summers’ attitude towards her earlier, Jeanette Lane started to panic.

Soon, the car arrived at the airport.

Jeanette Lane dashed inside.

Her heartbeat raced wildly as if it would burst out any second.

Yet she couldn’t afford to ponder, knowing she couldn’t let Henry Summers leave.

She had loved Henry Summers for over twenty years, had given so much for this family, and had even given up her own family for him...

Why did Henry Summers have to treat her like this?

Having a mistress was one thing, but he even had an illegitimate child!

When she arrived inside the airport, Henry Summers had not yet boarded the plane.

He was waiting in the departure lounge with Yalena Grace and Grace Summers, who had just been bailed out.

Yalena Grace leaned cosily on Henry Summers’ shoulder, with seductive eyes and slightly pouted red lips, complaining capriciously, "Henry, why did you have to choose today to leave? I didn’t even get to pack my luggage properly!"

Henry Summers looked around vigilantly. Hearing Yalena Grace’s words, his face turned green.

After Summers Group went bankrupt, he had withdrawn some money that he had transferred earlier.

Yalena Grace had been incessantly lamenting in Henry Summers’ ear these past few days about how much their daughter had suffered in the police station.

She persisted until he agreed to bail Grace Summers out.

Originally, the police station was unwilling to release her because Lucas Shaw and Justin Lane had specifically stated they wouldn’t allow anyone to take Grace.

Yet, somehow Lucas Shaw suddenly relented yesterday.

That’s why Grace could be bailed out so smoothly.

Henry Summers knew nothing of what Lucas Shaw had done; he only knew that it had cost him a lot of money to save Grace.

This money was the savings of his hard work over twenty-odd years, and to think, a third of it was spent in a flash for Grace.

Grace’s case was special; with both the Shaw Family and Lane Family keeping watch, so the police station demanded a significant amount of money before they would agree to release her.

Every time Henry Summers thought about that money, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

Grace Summers sat next to Henry Summers. Life in the police station hadn’t been easy, and in such a short time, she had lost so much weight that she hardly looked like herself.

Her eyes were red and teary, and she looked at Henry Summers with an aggrieved expression, "Daddy, can we really just leave like this? What if Mom finds out?"

Before Henry could say anything, Yalena Grace’s face darkened first, "Grace, why are you still calling that old woman Mom? I am your real mother! Don’t you forget, who is the most important person to you."

Grace realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, "Mom, I’m sorry, I was just used to it. That woman doesn’t deserve to be my mom at all!"

Jeanette Lane hurried into the waiting room just in time to hear what Grace said.

She stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she had seen wrong.

Grace?

It was actually Grace?

When did she come out?

Why was she calling another woman mom and calling her an old woman?

Jeanette Lane was completely dumbfounded, and her gaze suddenly fell on the woman next to Henry Summers.

That woman had a graceful figure, dressed in revealing and seductive clothes, practically clinging to Henry Summers’ body.

Though Henry Summers was middle-aged, his face still looked well-maintained. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

His figure was also well-kept.

Thus, even though he was married, there were still many women who threw themselves at him.

But Henry Summers had always ignored these women.

This was also what Jeanette Lane was most proud of.

No matter how many tricks those women used, her husband had always been upright.

But she never expected that all of this was just a façade.

The emotions she had suppressed for so long exploded in an instant, and she charged at Yalena Grace, roaring, "You slut, seducing my husband! Seducing my husband..."

Yalena Grace didn’t have time to react before she saw a figure charging toward her.

Then she felt a series of sharp pains as fists and slaps landed on her body.

"Ah!" she couldn’t help but scream out, standing up quickly and trying to hide behind Henry Summers.

Henry Summers looked bewildered at the person in front of him, "Jeanette Lane? How did you get here?"

Jeanette Lane suddenly stopped her assault, looked at Henry Summers with a cold laugh, "How did I get here? If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have seen your true colors! Who is this woman? Why is she with you?"

The commotion attracted a lot of attention, and many people gathered around to watch.

Everyone stood aside, looking at them with gossipy or curious eyes.

Jeanette Lane, however, didn’t care at all about losing face; her heart was completely shattered.

She looked at Henry Summers, waiting for his answer.

Henry Summers furrowed his brows, and before he could speak, Grace Summers stepped forward.

Jeanette Lane looked up and saw Grace Summers stepping in front of her, "Mrs. Summers, what else is there to say? It’s your own fault you can’t keep a man, you have no right to resent my mom."

"Your mom?" Jeanette Lane’s face showed disbelief, she pointed a trembling hand at Yalena Grace, "You’re saying this woman is your mom? Then what am I?"

Grace Summers scanned Jeanette Lane from top to bottom, then sneered with contempt, "Mrs. Summers, this woman here is my birth mother. You were simply a substitute caring for me."

Jeanette Lane was once again stunned, unable to believe that the daughter she had raised for so many years could say such things.

Suddenly, Grace Summers took a step closer and whispered into Jeanette Lane’s ear, "Don’t you understand yet? Dad loves my mom the most, and his favorite daughter is me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been taken to the Summers family."
