Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares Chapter 200
Eugene's heart pounded wildly. That sliver of suspicion felt like the last straw he could cling to before going under.There was no time to lose. Without hesitation, he called Quentin and told him to dig into everyone Jacklyn had seen or spoken to lately. They couldn't afford to overlook a single lead.Eugene stood, his eyes settling on the black ball gown.The chances that Jacklyn died in that car crash were slim, especially if she'd been planning to leave him all along. He even started to wonder if the accident had just been another one of her ways to escape.…24 hours had passed since the car crash.Jacklyn had arrived at the mansion the night before. After ten grueling hours on the plane, her initial unease had settled into a stillness.She'd thought she'd feel triumphant when it was all over, but the rush of emotion she'd braced for never came. Instead, there was only hollowness.Liam had checked on her several times since then, always finding her either standing at the d

Eugene scoffed, his voice icy. "Jackie and our baby died together. The only way you can apologize to her face is if you die too. So, are you going to die?"Penelope went still.Jacklyn was dead? She was really gone?Logically, she should've been thrilled to hear it. But as she looked into Eugene's frozen, unforgiving eyes, the pain in her chest only cut deeper.That was what he had to say to her? After everything she'd given up for him? After loving him with everything she had? Jacklyn was dead, and now she was supposed to die, too?"Eugene." Penelope leaned against the table and pushed herself up. "We both made this baby. You can't just pin all the blame on me. I've been going through this pregnancy alone, dealing with all the pain by myself, with no one there for me."She drew a deep breath, tear tracks glistening on her cheeks. "Even without a name or a place in your life, I waited for you day and night. All I ever wanted was for you to take a moment to think of me and this ch

The clamor of the banquet hall drowned out Eugene's furious roar. Meanwhile, Penelope was frantically trying to explain everything to Emily.That was when he noticed the scattered chat logs on the other side of the floor."I'm pregnant, Jackie. Eugene's the baby's father."The text seemed to swell before his eyes, each word slicing into his nerves like a knife.Eugene had always thought that while Penelope could be a handful, at least she knew her place. There was no way she'd ever let Jacklyn find out about the things she'd been told to keep quiet.But now, for the first time, he realized Jacklyn had known everything all along. She'd been carrying that pain right beside him.And he couldn't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like for her, watching him and Penelope together, time and time again. It must've torn her apart.Eugene slowly rose to his feet. His fingers curled inward, the veins on the back of his hand bulging like twisted vines.As if sensing something was

Irene straightened up and held out a box to Eugene. "You know exactly where Jackie is, don't you, Eugene? She asked me to give this to you. And happy birthday to Ms. Penelope."Eugene's heart clenched at her words. He took the box, unable to wait a second longer to open it.The moment he saw what was inside, a flicker of panic crossed his face. It was as if all the strength had drained from his body in an instant. The box slipped from his hands and hit the floor with a dull thud. Photographs, prenatal checkup reports, and printed screenshots of Penelope's bragging messages—courtesy of Jacklyn—spilled out and scattered across the floor around them.A crowd quickly gathered. And with the people in the photos standing right there, it didn't take long for the more observant ones to connect the dots."What's going on? Aren't these pictures of Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Penelope?""Whoa, some of these are nudes! So they have been having an affair!""And she's his sister-in-law! Poor Mrs. Lloy

Eugene forced his head up, his eyes fixed on the inky black river. "Mom, Jackie—""Jackie? What's with Jackie?" Lydia cut him off sharply. "Do you even understand how serious this is? What about the future of Lloyd Group?"Just hearing that name made her temples throb. She already knew Eugene's reckless behavior had everything to do with Jacklyn.If Eugene hadn't kept getting in her way, Lydia would've kicked Jacklyn out of the Lloyd family years ago.Watching the anger rising in Emily's eyes, Lydia barked one final order, "Hurry up!"Eugene hung up and stood with effort, as if gravity had grown heavier. Though there was still no word about Jacklyn, he couldn't just abandon the entire Lloyd Group.After a brief internal struggle, he turned to Quentin, who was crouched nearby. "Stay here and keep waiting. Call me the moment you hear anything."Quentin nodded quickly.Eugene forced himself to return to the birthday celebration, though his thoughts were still out by the river.Wh

The officer said, "The situation's still unclear, and the river's about to rise with the tide. Jumping in now would be suicide. You're better off waiting for updates. There's still a chance the victim's alive."But even as he spoke, there was little conviction in his voice.With conditions that brutal, survival seemed all but impossible. Still, the police couldn't just stand by and let Eugene die.A raw cry of agony ripped from Eugene's throat. He sank to the side, waiting, because he had no other choice.As time wore on, the steady drizzle turned into a torrential downpour. The river, black and swollen, heaved and churned like a living beast with gaping jaws, ready to swallow everything in its path.At last, the first rescue team stumbled onto the shore. Eugene's vacant eyes snapped into focus. He bolted toward the nearest rescuer, grabbing him by the arm."Where's my wife? Did you find her?" he demanded.The team leader shook his head. One after another, the arriving rescue te
