Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 380

Chapter 380: 380-A Serial Offender
Helanie:

I stepped away from Lamar so he could be uncuffed. Jenny’s confession had made my heart drop into my stomach. I felt Lamar’s body heating up too. It wouldn’t be easy for him to hear what Rayden had done to her.

And it showed in his eyes.

“Huh?” Mores had the nerve to get up and try to reach her when Penn stepped in his way and slapped him.

That slap was so satisfying.

“Your son escaped, but I won’t let you put your hands on my sister,” Penn yelled, his rage coming from many reasons.

I hadn’t been able to look at anyone because I didn’t want to see the pity in their eyes.

But I was grateful they were standing up for me.

“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Jenny smiled, but there was so much pain hidden behind her teary eyes. “I got rid of the biggest disease ever. The disease was spreading—and I feel responsible for it. If I had stopped him earlier, my friend and Evaline wouldn’t have become his victims. But I was such a coward—” she was breathing with difficulty, so I rushed through the crowd and hugged her tight.

It was as if her breath returned when my arms wrapped around her. I didn’t know she wasn’t expecting me to come for her like that.

“I killed him so he couldn’t hurt you anymore,” she whispered, hugging me back.

That truly meant so much to me.

I broke the hug because she was still talking to Mores, and strangely enough, he had more to say.

“Well—I will make sure you rot in prison for your crime of murder because there is no proof against my son, but there is your confession against him.” At this point, he was the only one on his side. I noticed the brothers had gone silent, almost like their energy had drained. But I was afraid of the silent storm brewing in them. Their veins were constantly popping, and the way Norman was cracking his knuckles was terrifying.

“Oh! I forgot the evidence. I have a gift for you,” Jenny shocked me even more when she made it clear that she had more to use against him.

She began to play a video. And right off the bat, the video started with a terrifying sight. It was Rayden crying on the ground while I walked away. Jenny was hiding behind a tree and recording it.

“Dad?” Rayden called his father, sniffling like a little brat. “Dad, she beat me up—she doesn’t even have a wolf—and she actually beat up an Alpha—” his cries were so ignorant.

He sounded like a spoiled child. After a few hits, his inner brat came to the surface, and he had no shame in showing it anymore.

“It was Helanie and Lamar. Dad, they have the hair that was found on my coat. That stupid bitch mate of mine left it with her boy toy. Dad! You have to remove the data and records. Erase my DNA from the site and plant someone else’s instead. Just use some dead guy who can’t defend himself. As for these two, I’ll take care of them myself,” he got up from the ground, wiping tears from his cheeks.

“Thank you, Dad,” he started thanking his father, so whatever his father was saying must have been in his favor.

“I’ll fucking impregnate Jenny, don’t worry about that slut. She’s scared of me.” Jenny’s family glared at Mores at the way he spoke about her. “Don’t stress. They’re stupid. They’ll believe us. Her father would rather have her dead than without a mate.”

Those words hit hard. They made Dewitt break down, hiding his face in his hands as he cried louder before suddenly lunging at Mores. Both he and Penn started kicking and punching the shocked man, who now knew he was going down and would take all the blame for his son—who was already dead.

The video ended with Rayden noticing something and spotting Jenny behind the tree. He lunged at her with a knife in his hand when a gunshot rang out.

I guess that’s when he died because the video cut off, probably from Jenny panicking.

As Emmet took Jenny’s phone to preserve the evidence, the others focused on Mores, making sure he didn’t die too. He needed to be punished for letting his son do all these things and covering for him.

But by then, Jenny had turned to me while Lamar was still frozen in place.

“That night when Lucy fell, I couldn’t sleep either. I decided to get some fresh air when I saw you heading toward the library. I followed you and heard everything. I was so shattered and angry at myself that I decided to be a part of it without involving you two. I knew you’d both get detained and abuse, but—huh! My father—he would only show up if it was me on the receiving end of some punishment. I never chose Rayden because I loved him. I had to stay close to him to keep an eye on him and also… to avoid getting abused—” she quickly lowered her head, but it all made sense to me.

“I am so sorry. I could have stopped it sooner,” she broke down, but I quickly pulled her into a hug.

She wasn’t at fault. She was a victim, and he had been blackmailing and threatening her the whole time.

As we hugged, she whispered in my ear, “We’ll find those other assholes together. You’re not alone anymore.”

It made me feel so much better to have another friend who knew the truth and was on my side.

“Jenny.” Lamar stepped forward, finally snapping out of his frozen state. Without saying a word, he pulled her into a hug, holding her like he was shielding her from any harm.

I stood beside them with a broken smile on my face until I raised my head and saw the brothers watching me, their eyes full of empathy.
