Chapter 211

Author: Gathered Light
The board of directors was running out of patience. Eugene, who was supposed to be holding down the fort at Lloyd Group, had been conspicuously absent, so they finally called a shareholders' meeting to vote on the next CEO.

They were halfway through the vote when the conference room doors suddenly burst open.

It was Eugene. After days of silence, he was finally back.

He strode to the front of the room and claimed his place at the head of the table. His sharp gaze swept across the room before he asked through gritted teeth, "Did you forget? I still have veto power."

As the majority shareholder, Eugene had every right to use it.

His eyes narrowed as he hissed, "This little vote of yours is a joke. So tell me—do you really want to keep going?"

Just moments ago, the board members had been eagerly plotting Eugene's removal. Now, they exchanged uneasy glances. No one dared to speak.

Each of them was silently wondering the same thing—who had tipped him off? If he hadn't shown up, they

No sooner had he taken his seat than a flurry of pointed questions came flying at him."Mr. Lloyd, is it true you had an affair with Ms. Penelope? Was what came out at her birthday celebration the other night actually true?""Ms. Jacklyn reportedly compiled all the evidence revealed at the birthday celebration. Can you confirm that?""Is it true the baby Ms. Penelope's carrying is yours?""Why did you cheat? Was Ms. Jacklyn not enough for you?"Each question cut like a blade, and everyone from Lloyd Group sat frozen, holding

    Jacklyn folded her hands, her tone polite and unassuming as she said, "I'm really looking forward to working with everyone."After greeting the studio staff, Abel showed her to the office they'd rushed to set up for her the night before."Sorry about the state of it. We didn't think you'd be starting this soon, so there wasn't time to do much," he said.Jacklyn gave a casual shrug. "It's totally fine. I actually like it the way it is."As she spoke, her gaze flicked to a lone blue folder sitting on the otherwise empty desk. She frowned slightly. "What's this?"Abel leaned against the desk and picked it up. "New job. It's a joint venture between a Cyrelian company and a foreign partner. They want Eastral elements in their jewelry designs, so naturally, I thought of you."He handed her the folder. "Honestly, none of us know much about Eastral. This one's right up your alley."Jacklyn took the file, flipped through it quickly, and then nodded.After Abel left, she dove straight in

    Just then, Lydia stormed over to Eugene, snatched the glass off the coffee table, and hurled it to the floor. It shattered with a sharp, violent crash.The sound exploded through the room, sending shards flying across the expensive carpet. The outburst jolted Eugene from his dazed stupor.Lydia jabbed a finger at him, spitting the words through gritted teeth, "Look at you, Eugene! Is this what the head of the Lloyd family looks like? You've let some woman break you, turning yourself into a mess!"Fine! Destroy yourself if that's what you want. But what about Lloyd Group? Are you really going to throw it all away?"The moment she mentioned Lloyd Group, fury flared hot in her gut.After everything Eugene had fought so hard to build, was he really about to throw it all away for Jacklyn?Eugene's vacant eyes flicked toward her for the briefest moment before he dropped his gaze. His voice was raw. "Mom, Jackie's missing.""Jacklyn this, Jacklyn that. What the hell kind of spell has s

    Jacklyn blinked. "What?""Eat on time. Don't overwork yourself. And one more thing, take care of your body." Liam's eyes softened as they dropped to her stomach. "You're still pregnant, remember?"Jacklyn paused, then said earnestly, "Thanks, Liam."His support gave her just enough strength to start fresh in the strange new place.Back at the mansion, Jeffrey had dinner ready. For once, Liam let himself take the night off.After dinner, Jacklyn headed back to her room. She had just shut the door when her phone buzzed. It was an unknown number.Hardly anyone had that number. Other than Liam and Irene—both saved in her contacts—the only one who knew it was Kacey, still undercover near Eugene.She answered, and Kacey's cautious voice came through, "Ms. Stinson, are you alright?"Ever since word got out about Jacklyn's car accident, Kacey had been worried sick. But she'd held back from calling, afraid Eugene might pick up on something. That was why this was her first check-in.Jac

    Irene looked up from her screen, brows furrowing. "Tomorrow afternoon? That feels a little rushed."Jacklyn shook her head. "The sooner we get this sorted, the better."It didn't take long for them to settle on a time and place for the meeting.…The next afternoon, Jacklyn and Irene showed up early at the cafe, only to find Abel was already there.Irene raised her brow. "Abel? You're here already?"Abel's eyes landed on Jacklyn. His smile reached all the way to the corners of his eyes. "Ms. Stinson is worth the wait. Ever since Fashion Week, I've been hoping we'd cross paths again. It's a shame I didn't have more time to swing by Swanford."Jacklyn slid into the seat across from him with an easy shrug. "Well, here we are. In Cyrelia, we say fate never knocks. It just shows up."Abel didn't quite catch the meaning, but the way she said it made it sound like a good thing. He looked at Jacklyn, warmth softening his gaze. "Actually, I've got a branch studio here in town. Ever thou
