HereSelf 516 Summary Ruby is overwhelmed by the painful realization that she had been deceived into believing another child was her daughter, while her real daughter suffered in silence. Despite Natalie's understanding, Ruby is consumed by guilt and struggles to recall details from her pregnancy, hoping Waylon might help her remember her forgotten past. Meanwhile, Baron begins running blood tests on Ruby, intensifying the tense atmosphere. Yvonne, emotionally drained, is persuaded by Natalie to rest, while the children remain peacefully asleep, unaware of the turmoil around them.
Natalie, seeking a moment of calm, settles in the living room, only to be interrupted by Shauna, who urgently informs her that Jensen has gone missing. Natalie is shocked and immediately questions the circumstances, especially the involvement of Baron and Alpha. Shauna explains that Alpha was the last person seen with Jensen before his disappearance and that Loretta is frantically searching for Alpha. Natalie pieces together that Baron might have used Jensen to conceal a disc and that Alpha's involvement could make him a prime suspect.
Concerned about the potential fallout if Baron's name is implicated, Natalie grapples with the mystery of Jensen's sudden vanishing. Natalie and Shauna discuss the implications, with Shauna suggesting Alpha be sent away to avoid false accusations. However, Natalie refuses, confident that Baron is not behind Jensen's disappearance and trusting Alpha's loyalty. She decides that Alpha must stay and that any demands from Loretta must be backed by proof, firmly protecting both Alpha and Baron from suspicion.
The chapter ends with a heavy silence as the characters await the blood test results, while the unresolved mystery of Jensen's disappearance looms over them, deepening the tension and uncertainty. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 516: Jensen's Disappearance How could she have been so easily deceived? How was it possible that she had mistaken another child for her own daughter? The weight of this realization crushed her. Her real daughter had endured years of suffering, while she herself had been trapped in a haze of delusion, completely oblivious to the truth.
Ruby felt like the biggest fool alive. Despite Natalie's understanding and lack of blame, Ruby couldn't shake the guilt gnawing at her heart. She even tried to recall the faintest details from her pregnancy, hoping to find some clue, but the memories were too distant. She knew she needed to talk to Waylon-only he might help piece together the fragments of her forgotten past. Meanwhile, Baron wasted no time and began running blood tests on Ruby. The sterile scent of the clinic mingled with the quiet beep of machines, underscoring the tension in the air.
Yvonne, having cried herself dry, was finally persuaded by Natalie to return to her room and rest. The children, blissfully unaware of the turmoil around them, slept soundly in their beds, their peaceful breaths a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding. Natalie glanced toward the sleeping children, relief washing over her that they remained untouched by the storm. She didn't want to disturb their innocence, so she quietly slipped into the living room and sank into a chair. Almost immediately, Shauna arrived, having received a message and rushing over with urgency. "Madam, Mr.

Baron is-" "He should be occupied with the blood tests for my mother," Natalie interrupted, her voice steady but laced with concern. "Do you need him for something important?" Shauna hesitated, her expression conflicted, before shaking her head. "Since Mr. Baron is busy, I figured it was better to tell you directly." Natalie's brow furrowed. "Tell me what?" Shauna took a deep breath and met Natalie's gaze. "Madam, Jensen is missing." At first, Natalie didn't quite grasp the gravity of Shauna's words. "Who's missing?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Jensen," Shauna repeated, her tone grim. Natalie's heart skipped a beat. "If Jensen's missing, why haven't the police been called? Why involve Baron? Are you suggesting Baron had something to do with this?" "No," Shauna quickly replied. "It's because someone saw Alpha leaving Jensen's side just before Jensen vanished. Since then, there's been no sign of him-dead or alive. Loretta is frantic, searching everywhere for Alpha like a mad dog." Suddenly, everything clicked into place for Natalie.
Baron had clashed with Jensen earlier and seized the chance to slip the disc into Jensen's pocket, using his identity within the Luke family to avoid suspicion. Then, he ordered Alpha to retrieve it when Jensen wasn't paying attention. Now, Alpha was the last person known to have seen Jensen. Though Natalie wasn't sure how the Luke family had discovered Alpha's presence, if Jensen truly was in danger, Alpha would inevitably become the prime suspect. And if Baron's name got dragged into this mess, things would spiral out of control. A cold wave of anxiety washed over Natalie.
"How could someone just disappear without a trace?" she murmured, disbelief heavy in her voice. "I don't know," Shauna admitted, frustration evident. "Our team hasn't found any evidence that Jensen left the area. It's like he vanished into thin air." Natalie's mind raced. "Why did he have to get involved in this? I don't have any good feelings toward Jensen, honestly. If I could erase him from my memories, I would. But this... this I can't ignore. Not for Baron's sake." "If it were Baron, what would he do?" Natalie asked, turning to Shauna.
Shauna, having served Baron for many years, considered the question carefully. Baron was currently occupied with Ruby's blood tests, and Natalie didn't want to distract him. "Mr. Baron doesn't care much about the lives of others, especially a romantic rival like Jensen," Shauna said thoughtfully. "But since this involves Alpha, he can't just turn a blind eye. Maybe I should send Alpha away. Our influence is strongest in Murica. If Alpha returns there, it'll be harder for anyone to falsely accuse him." Natalie frowned. She firmly believed Baron had nothing to do with Jensen's disappearance.
Though Baron disliked Jensen, he was the kind to settle scores directly, not by making people vanish. If Alpha fled, it would only make them look guilty. "If Alpha gets captured, would he betray Baron?" Natalie asked, her voice tinged with worry. Shauna shook her head firmly. "Alpha is one of Baron's dark guards, adopted and raised by him since childhood. They would never betray him." "Then Alpha stays here," Natalie decided without hesitation. "If Loretta wants to come demanding him, she must bring proof. Otherwise, no one touches Alpha.
And no one is allowed to throw mud at Baron." Shauna felt a surge of reassurance looking at Natalie's newfound authority. She had once thought Natalie too soft and easily bullied, but now it was clear she was growing stronger, more resolute. The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of the situation pressing down on them all. Chapter 517: The Blood Test Results awaited, but for now, the mystery of Jensen's disappearance hung heavily in the air. Conclusion The chapter closes on a somber note, capturing the profound sense of betrayal and confusion that grips Natalie and those around her.
The emotional turmoil stemming from Ruby's painful realization and the unsettling mystery of Jensen's disappearance intertwine, highlighting themes of trust, loyalty, and the harsh consequences of deception. Amidst the uncertainty, Natalie's protective resolve shines through, revealing her growth from vulnerability to strength as she stands firm against external threats and defends those she cares about. This moment of quiet tension underscores the fragile balance between hope and despair, innocence and harsh reality.
As the blood test results come in, new revelations about Ruby's condition may emerge, potentially altering the dynamics between the key players.
