Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 551 - Bab 560

Jacklyn's rebuttal was clear and logical, allowing those around to easily understand. Her voice was just loud enough for them to catch every word, too.Everyone suddenly got a clear picture."I knew it. She's not that kind of person.""So, that woman was the mistress who clawed her way up.""Unbelievable! Even a mistress is so brazen now? The audacity!"The mood shifted instantly.But Penelope didn't care anymore. She had already been kicked out of Lloyd Manor, so what else did she have to lose?With a cold snort, she lunged forward, raising her hand to strike. But Jacklyn reacted quickly and caught her wrist."Restrain her!" Jacklyn said sharply, turning her head slightly to address the security guards while she struggled against Penelope's full weight.The security guards had been dazed before, but the moment they heard the order, they immediately went to pull Penelope off of Jacklyn.Jacklyn stared at the wild-eyed woman in front of her, who was desperately trying to break

"Back then, when Penelope switched her own premature baby with Noah just to keep Eugene around, she should've foreseen this ending. Everything she's facing now, she brought upon herself," Ian said.Lucy happened to finish eating at that moment, and Ian started cleaning up the leftovers. Turning to Romy, he said, "Give Lucy some water, and I'll throw this trash out."He then turned to Liam and asked for their trash as well. Liam handed him a small bag, and Ian walked out. There was a bin not far away. He tossed everything in and was about to head back when two arms suddenly shot out from behind and wrapped themselves tightly around his waist."I've finally found you, Ian!"It was Penelope's voice.Ian froze for a moment. Then, he quickly pried her hands off and turned around to face her."Aren't you supposed to be at the police station, Penelope?" he demanded."The cops just gave me a warning and let me go," she mumbled, her head hanging low and appearing pitiful.She bit her li

Based on what Penelope knew about Eugene, there was a very solid chance that she would be able to return to Lloyd Manor.She happily kissed Noah on the cheek. "You're Mommy's little lucky star!"It wouldn't be long before she received a call from Eugene, asking her to return. And so, Penelope scooped Noah up in her arms and headed into the dressing room, looking very smug and arrogant, a far cry from the woman from the day before.When Jacklyn saw her, she could hardly believe her eyes. How did a trip to the police station make her look even more invigorated?She watched as Penelope plopped herself down nearby, set Noah down, and said, "We meet again, Jackie. I came to take care of my little one, too.""Oh," Jacklyn replied, not wanting to engage further.And yet, Penelope only grew more enthusiastic. "You probably don't know yet, but Gene said that things are better with me at Lloyd Manor, so he's changed his mind and allowed me to move back in.""What's that got to do with me?

Liam was well-seasoned when it came to these occasions.As the night wore on and the conversations started winding down, he began to feel a little stifled. Making an excuse about needing some fresh air, he stepped out of the room with long strides.The dance floor was alive with young men and women, brimming with energy. Even though it was late into the night, they didn't seem tired at all as their bodies swayed to the music, lost in a haze of abandon."Wait. That girl…" Liam mused to himself.His instincts were on alert as he straightened up to confirm. Sure enough, in a dimly lit corner of the dance floor, Harriet was subtly moving her body alongside a good-looking guy, likely also someone from the entertainment industry.Deep down, Harriet knew she was too shy to match the bold, uninhibited energy of those at the center of the dance floor. She could only watch the guy shyly, awkwardly mimicking his movements to the music.Her innocent, lovestruck expression didn't escape Liam'

Comments like those went on and on, and the alarm bells in Harriet's head went off. But more than anything, she was angry.She was angry that the clueless public was saying such things about her boyfriend, just like Jacklyn had done the night before. She refused to believe her taste in men was that bad.She had been a D-lister too, and now, she was one of the hottest rising stars.Still stewing, she continued scrolling through the comments and saw that there were also people who called her stupid for arguing with her superior. The more she read, the more annoyed she became. What she needed to do now was damage control, and the only one who could help her was her agency.Teeth clenched, she got up, got dressed, and then took a cab and went to Starborne Entertainment as quickly as possible. She headed straight for Irene's office, and as expected, Jacklyn was there, too.It was their lunch break, so the two of them were sitting on the couch, chatting away. Neither of them was surpris
