Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 561 - Bab 570

"Jackie, you're finally home," George rasped out, his face looking haggard.The man squatting there was none other than Jacklyn's father, George."What do you want?" Jacklyn asked coldly.Even though the man in front of her was her biological father, she still couldn't muster up any warmth. After all, George and Rebecca hadn't cared that she was their daughter when they treated her the way they did."Jackie, can you give me some more money? I owe a lot, and if I don't pay, they'll kill me," George answered, his face full of worry.No matter how much time had passed, George was still the same man, and he was only reaping what he had sown."Go find Penelope. Your matters have nothing to do with me.""Penelope's been having a hard time lately, so I can't go to her."Truthfully, George just didn't want Penelope to use up so much of her money."He knows to consider his younger daughter's well-being, but not mine—his eldest daughter's? How hypocritical," Jacklyn thought to herself w

If it were about anything else, Liam might've backed down—but not when it came to matters concerning Theodore and Jacklyn."Don't worry. You won't have the chance to come here again.""What do you mean?" Lara asked, confused.Then, she heard Liam turn to his butler and order, "Change the locks."The busy butler promptly agreed and began contacting a locksmith service.Lara's face darkened with rage, her teeth clenched tightly. But she recalled the purpose of her visit today, so she swallowed her anger for the moment. "Do you know where Augustine has gone?"He knew it. He knew there was no way Lara would show up here just to check up on him."No comment," he replied icily.Lara let out a deep sigh as her expression morphed into one of remorse. "At the end of the day, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Robertson family and your mother. I need to fulfill my duties and take care of Augustine."But he's moved out of Robertson Manor without a word, and only your dad and I are living the

Eugene turned to pour himself a glass of water when, suddenly, a hand grabbed his ankle.His eyes grew darker.George, who was at his feet, spoke first, "Penelope has been with you for so many years. Even if she hasn't earned any merits, she at least put in the work. You can't just kick her aside like that. She deserves compensation!"He clearly hadn't given up on trying to get money from Eugene."Sure," Eugene's cold voice came from above.But what followed next was a fierce kick that sent him flying several feet away. Without question, George received another round of beating before Eugene asked his staff to toss him out of the manor.…Meanwhile, the aforementioned Penelope was at a restaurant, scheming with Amanda.The music in the fine-dining establishment was soft and elegant, but it did little to soothe them. The two women, sitting in a corner of the restaurant, both had steaks sitting in front of them. But no matter how delicious it looked, they only picked at it distra

Liam's arm was burned, the skin blistered and torn, and it looked like it had scraped against something rough, too. The wound was a bloody mess, and yet he was comforting Jacklyn instead."Thank you, Liam. You always show up and save me when my life's in jeopardy," she thought to herself, her heartache silently etched on her face."Let's go to the hospital," she said as she tugged on Liam and flagged down a cab, telling the driver to take them to the hospital.The smell of disinfectant filled every corner of the hospital. Liam was in the treatment room, where a doctor was examining his wounds. Jacklyn, in the meantime, had gone to contact the building's management team responsible for the security cameras.There was no way such a horrible incident could be an accident. What convinced her of this even more was that the management told her that the surveillance footage from earlier had been destroyed, and for reasons unknown, they were unable to view it.A wave of exhaustion and hel

Burning someone alive? That was taking an actual human life.Penelope's words reminded Amanda that if Jacklyn hadn't managed to escape, she would have had blood on her hands. The thought sent a shiver down her spine."Penelope, going after Jacklyn is one thing, but we certainly can't take it too far."Compared to how maniacal Penelope was, Amanda was unusually rational at that moment.She added, "Have you forgotten what happened when your parents kidnapped Jacklyn all those years ago? The moment she returned, she sued your parents and put them both behind bars for so many years. "If she really ended up dead, with her means, she'd probably reach out from her grave just to make your life miserable. It'll be really bad if you end up in prison."The reminder of the past—and Amanda's thorough analysis—sent a chill down Penelope's spine.Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out, "The studio was just the beginning. The real show's just getting started," she said with a vicious glint in he
