Chapter 141

ผู้เขียน: Gathered Light
Before Eugene could finish speaking, an officer who had been examining the cars walked in and turned to Jacklyn. "Ms. Stinson, after a thorough inspection, we've found out the cause of the accident was indeed a brake failure."

She doubted that was the real reason. The man had followed her the entire time. Why would he tail her for so long if he had no other intentions?

But even the police came up empty-handed. Without proof, she had nothing to accuse him of.

Jacklyn saw the man coming from the waiting area as they were about to leave the station. His gaze was sharp as he stared at her like a hawk locking in on its prey.

Her instinct told her that he was dangerous.

In the next moment, he suddenly smiled at her. There was something in his smile that confirmed her suspicion. He had purposefully crashed into her.

Her expression darkened as she watched him leave the station and wondered who sent him.

Just then, Eugene gently touched her forehead. "Jacklyn, you look pale. Let's go to

  • Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 218

    The engraved silver flask was a masterpiece, its surface whispering of centuries past.Emily, no stranger to antiques, recognized it instantly. It was a piece from the 11th century, astonishingly well-preserved. It was a real find.Her eyes lit up. Without a second thought, she rolled down the car window.Penelope lit up as she held out her prized find. "Emily, look! It's an antique flask. I went to great lengths to get this. It's practically impossible to find anymore."Emily dialed her own emotions. She cleared her throat and slipped back into her usual calm. "Alright. Let's talk inside."Without delay, Penelope followed the car into the Lopez residence.By the time Emily walked in, Penelope was already down on her knees, playing the part of the remorseful victim.Emily took one look and saw right through it. She crossed the room and dropped onto the couch."Get up. You're pregnant. If you miscarry from kneeling there, it's just going to bring me bad luck."The words stung,

    Jacklyn murmured, "I didn't think anyone would ever find me, not after I ran so far. But I guess, sooner or later, someone from the past was bound to show up. It was only a matter of time before Eugene caught up to me."Eugene's face flickered through her mind, sharp and sudden. She'd been trying not to look back lately, but the memories wouldn't stay buried.Her breath caught in her throat, and she lowered her head. "Am I ever going to be free of this?"As the days passed, her belly became harder to hide. She wasn't just afraid of Eugene discovering her anymore. She was terrified he'd find out about the child.Her anxiety hung in the air, heavy and unshakable, like the pressure before a storm.Liam tried to reassure her, saying, "You've got a new legal identity here, Jackie. Even if someone thinks they recognize you, just deny it. They can't do anything. This isn't Cyrelia."His words loosened the tight knot in Jacklyn's chest, even if only slightly.He was right. She was on fo

    Jacklyn closed the stall door all the way and forced herself to stay calm. Her heart was hammering.It was just her luck. She was hiding in another country, and somehow she still ran into someone from her past.How was she supposed to get out of this?Her breaths came fast and shallow. The stall felt tighter by the second, like the walls were closing in on her.There was no way she could leave. Not while Emily was still out there. She'd have to wait until Emily was gone.Emily didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in the restroom. She turned on the faucet, the sound of running water echoing softly around the room.Beside her, her companion, Barbara Felser, handed her an elegant silk handkerchief and asked quietly, "Ms. Lopez, did any antiques catch your eye during your visit?"Emily shook her head, unimpressed. "Not really. Most of the pieces are too new and, honestly, kind of bland. Foreign stuff just doesn't hold a candle to Cyrelia's. That's where the real history is. Th

    Liam stopped short, his eyes fixed on Jacklyn. After a long moment, he turned away and started tying on his apron.He barely had a broccoli out before Jacklyn took it from him, rinsing it under the tap while trying to make small talk.He stayed silent the entire time he cooked, right up until he set down a steaming bowl of garlic butter pasta in front of her."Eat."Liam was furious that she'd stood him up. And yet, the first thing he'd done when she came home was cook her dinner.Steam curled up from the bowl of pasta. Jacklyn's chest tightened, emotions swirling too fast to name.She looked up at Liam, standing silently beside her. "There's only one bowl. You're not having any?"Liam untied his apron and slung it over his arm with the easy grace of someone born into privilege. Tilting his cold, aristocratic face just slightly, he said, "You didn't seriously think I'd starve waiting four hours for you, did you? I ate ages ago."He crossed the room and sat down across from her,

    Jacklyn forced herself to stop thinking about everything that was going on back in Cyrelia and threw herself into work.By the end of the week, the studio team had already come to appreciate her talent. Abel, most of all, felt effortlessly at ease in her presence.Once he saw Jacklyn had found her footing, he let her know he'd be taking a vacation. And just like that, he was off to Halinoa for a break.Jacklyn had no choice but to step up as a partner, stretching her eight-hour workdays into grueling marathons that often ran well past ten hours. The studio kept her caught in an endless loop of tasks.Liam hadn't returned to Cyrelia in the meantime, but even when he stayed around, he barely saw her.By the end of the week, his frustration finally reached a breaking point. At 5:00 pm, he picked up the phone and called her."Liam?""Jackie, it's after hours," he said right away.Jacklyn let out a breath. She'd stopped keeping track of work hours days ago."I know. But with Abel o

    Jacklyn pressed her lips together and closed the press conference page, then switched over to Cyrelia's most talked-about app.Her eyes scanned the screen. With every post she read, her frown deepened."Eugene admitted to the affair at the press conference. Why is no one talking about that? They're calling him 'loyal' and 'sentimental' instead."Each word stoked her anger."This reporter's got some serious spin. They had to have been paid off. What else explains just skipping over the worst part?"Liam took one look and understood everything.Eugene was working the crowd, twisting the narrative to distract from the affair. And if he pulled it off, everything Jacklyn had done would go to waste.He gave her shoulder a steady pat. "Give me a second, Jackie."He turned and left, then immediately made a call. "Get the word out. I want the press conference reported exactly as it happened. Anyone spinning it in Eugene's favor? They're doomed in this business."With Liam's warning rin
