Chapter 290

Penulis: Gathered Light
Bastards were bad enough. But honestly? The people who brought them into the world were even worse.

Penelope nodded quickly, right in sync with Connie's words.

She shot an icy glare at Jacklyn's back and mocked, "Exactly. No one even knows who Theodore's father is. I heard Jacklyn used to sleep around with all kinds of guys.

"Her whole life's a mess. She vanished abroad for a few years, then returned with a kid. She's not even married. No one has a clue who the father is."

Connie's face flickered with shock before it quickly twisted into disgust as her eyes landed on Jacklyn. She doubted someone like Jacklyn could raise a kid right. She'd make sure Katie stayed as far away from them as possible.

…

Two hours later, the entire acre of weeds had been cleared. As expected, Theodore came out on top.

Patrick stepped forward and revealed the grand prize—a special pass for early access to the dinner spot. He handed it to Theodore, then turned to address the rest of the kids.

    Ian's accusation hit Penelope like a bucket of ice water, freezing her to the bone. She'd almost forgotten just how deeply he was tied to all of this.Back when she gave birth, she'd told him Noah was his. That single lie had earned her his unwavering loyalty and his constant dedication to the Lloyds and Noah.But last night, everything unraveled. The truth that Noah was Romy's son was now backed by undeniable DNA proof. And the moment Ian saw the news, he called Penelope without hesitation, demanding answers.When Penelope stayed silent, Ian's expression darkened like a gathering storm."Talk!" he snapped, his voice sharp enough to make her flinch.She stammered, "I-I don't know anything! It was Amanda. She's the one who did this."She sucked in a breath. Then, the words came rushing out. "She's the one who changed my baby to a boy so I could marry into the Lloyds. That's all I know."But Ian didn't believe a word of it. His eyes dropped, and his grip on the phone tightened unt

    Eugene turned his head, and there was Liam, standing tall with effortless grace. His eyes went wide. Instinctively, he glanced at the security guards by the door.But the men who'd been standing at attention just moments ago were now crumpled on the floor, groaning in pain. Their limbs twisted at grotesque angles.Liam reached out his hand to Jacklyn, his voice soft. "I'm here to take you home."Without a second thought, Jacklyn stepped past Eugene and slipped her hand into Liam's. "Let's go," she said quietly.Eugene knew there was no stopping Liam now.Once they were out of Lloyd Manor and settled in the car, Jacklyn turned to Liam, curiosity flickering in her eyes. "How did you know I was there?"Liam buckled his seatbelt and smiled. "I stopped by the apartment first. Theo told me.""Where's Romy?"Jacklyn leaned forward, peering out the window. Romy was standing by the side of the road. They called her over, and she climbed into the car.…Back at the apartment, the mood

    Stunned, Eugene froze for a beat, his hand numb. He inhaled slowly, then exhaled, his anger receding as his gaze met Jacklyn's. His expression shifted into something more complicated."Jackie, I'm sorry. I'd hoped we'd reunite under better circumstances, in a better place. I never pictured it like this.""What difference does it make?" Jacklyn asked, finding him absurd.Romy and Penelope were standing right there, and still, he had the nerve to utter those words. Just how shameless could he be?Eugene stepped forward, stopping just inches from Jacklyn, and reached for her hand. But before his fingers could touch hers, she pulled away.He glanced awkwardly at his hand, hanging uselessly in the air. A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes."I was wrong, terribly wrong. And I've spent the last five years paying for it."He pointed toward her old room. "I've slept there every night since you left. I haven't gone a single day without thinking about you. Jackie, if you come back,

    Eugene's eyes flew wide. He stared at Jacklyn, stunned. His hands were trembling at his sides, and his lips were quivering. "Jackie?"All the feelings he'd buried for so long surged to the surface, crashing over him like a tidal wave."It's really you! You came back!"He rushed forward and pulled Jacklyn into his arms before she had a chance to react, whispering, "I'm sorry, Jackie. I'm so sorry. I was wrong. You punished me by leaving me behind for five years. Can you come back now?"His voice broke with tears, thick with guilt and regret. He would've paid any price just to see her again. As long as he could hold her like this, as long as she came back, nothing else mattered. "Eugene." Jacklyn shoved him away without a second thought, her expression cold, laced with disgust. "Don't make me sick."She stepped back, creating space between them. Then, she leveled him with a glare as sharp as ice.Eugene stood frozen. "What?" The Jacklyn he remembered had never spoken to him lik

    "Why are you coming to me about your son?" Penelope snapped, her voice laced with irritation."That's exactly what I should be asking you," Romy shot back, eyes blazing with fury. "Noah and I took a DNA test. He's my son!"Penelope's smugness crumbled in an instant. Guilt washed over her face as she stammered, "I-I don't know what you're talking about.""You don't know? Or are you hoping that playing dumb will get you out of this?" Jacklyn cut in sharply, her eyes cold and unflinching. "You're the one who switched Romy's baby all those years ago."Penelope shot to her feet, momentarily forgetting to question how they'd simply gotten in."It wasn't me. And anyway, where's your proof?" she retorted.As long as she kept denying it, there was nothing solid tying her to what had happened all those years ago."The children are all the proof we need," Jacklyn stated coldly."How can they be proof? I was in labor myself five years ago. Do you really think I had time to sneak off and sw

    "Did you see the news?" Jacklyn asked, getting straight to the point.Romy opened the door and stepped aside so she could come in."Yeah. I ran another DNA test with Lucy."She stopped by the couch, drew Lucy near, and whispered something to her. Lucy then offered a sweet greeting to Jacklyn before heading off to her room.Once Lucy was gone, Romy's expression turned serious. She let out a heavy sigh."You were right. Lucy isn't my child." Saying it out loud made her chest tighten. "If Lucy isn't mine, then where is my real child?"She was starting to fall apart."Do you want to know where your child is?" Jacklyn asked.Romy looked up at her. "You know where my child is?"Jacklyn pulled out a clear plastic bag containing a soft strand of hair. "You should run another DNA test. This child is most likely yours."Romy froze for a second before taking the bag from her hand.As Romy hesitated, Jacklyn continued, "I'll come back tomorrow. These hospitals stay open late. We could h
