Chapter 316

Penulis: Gathered Light
Penelope had the upper hand, so how did Jacklyn end up getting all the perks?

Was she just supposed to sit there and watch Jacklyn and Irene saunter into the entertainment world, rising to the top like it was nothing?

Absolutely not. She still had Ian.

Hands shaking with fury, she stabbed at her phone and hit dial.

"Did you see what's trending about Starborne Entertainment? I told you they were planning something!"

Ian stared at the trending headline, a cold glint flickering in his narrowed eyes.

A brand-new company getting this much spotlight? It would only speed up their rise. If he didn't act now, they'd lock in their position fast.

There were only so many profitable plays left in the entertainment world, and his piece of the pie was already shrinking. The last thing he needed was another contender elbowing in.

"I saw it. I'll take care of it. Just wait for my word."

…

The very next day after Penelope hung up, the news broke.

  • Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 380

    When Felicia heard the gentler tone in Amanda's voice, she seized the moment. "It's too late for regrets now. Ms. Scott, you're generous. Can't you forgive me just this once?"And please, I'm begging you. Help me stop the backlash online. I'm truly desperate. I'm just a nurse, and I only did what you asked. Please, for everything I've done to follow your lead, help me this one time."Her desperate plea thrilled Amanda. She'd known Felicia would run out of options. Even if Felicia tried to fight back, she'd only end up hurting herself."I can help you, but…" Amanda paused on purpose, then let out a vicious laugh. "It depends on my mood. Maybe if I feel generous, I'll think about clearing your name."Then, she hung up without another word.Felicia let out a long sigh and passed the phone to Jacklyn. "I did what you asked. Will this actually fix anything?"She didn't fully trust Jacklyn. But with everything already in shambles, she had no choice but to take the risk.Jacklyn took t

    Having said her piece, Amanda wasted no time in publicly calling out Felicia online. She demanded proof and accused her of creating the entire mess out of spite. She also warned that if Felicia continued making false accusations, she would report her to the police.In response, Felicia, who had been loudly "exposing" Amanda earlier, fell silent. Now, everyone was pressuring Felicia to provide evidence that she had been bribed.A silent afternoon gave way to a changing tide. Some even started to suspect Felicia had invented the story just to clear her name.Reading the flood of online comments, Felicia broke into a nervous sweat. She grabbed Jacklyn's arm and insisted, "Amanda really was the one who told me to do it, I swear! Why would I risk my job for no reason? I don't even hold a grudge against any of you!""I believe you, but that's not what matters. If you want to clear your name, you'll need solid proof that Amanda told you to do this," Jacklyn said.Felicia grew more franti

    Felicia's expression hardened with rage. She had taken a huge risk for Amanda. And now that it had all blown up, Amanda was just going to walk away? She wasn't about to let that happen."You're backing out? Clean this up and get me out of the country, or I'll spill everything. If I'm already facing a malpractice charge, I've got nothing left to lose!"Unfazed, Amanda said coolly, "Do whatever you want. I gave you a way out. I told you to run. You're the one who messed it up. That's not on me. And what proof do you even have that I told you to take that shift?"Felicia froze. From the very beginning, they'd only dealt in cash to avoid leaving any traces. Only now did she realize she'd been outplayed.She stomped her feet in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.…On the other end, Amanda hung up without a second thought and tossed her phone into the corner. She'd covered her tracks. Felicia had no proof to use against her.Amanda had just leaned back on the couch to re

    Jacklyn continued, "Yesterday, while you were filling in for Joanne, you hung the IV without doing a skin test, and the patient went into shock. It's all on camera. Did you really think you'd get away with it?"Felicia's expression tensed. She snatched Jacklyn's phone, her lips turning pale."Shock? That can't be…"She'd been so focused on delivering the DNA results. Somewhere in the middle of it all, she might've hung an IV bag. She couldn't even remember.Felicia stared at the replay again and again. Her shoulders slumped, as if all the life had drained from her in an instant."I-I didn't know this would happen," she said, her voice tight with panic.Jacklyn took her phone back, her tone cold. "But it did. The patient is in critical condition. He nearly died. Right now, the family is too focused on looking after him to come after you. But once he pulls through, do you really think they'll let it go?"A textbook malpractice like that would fall squarely on whoever was responsib

    Romy froze as Jacklyn's voice came through the line, her brows knitting."Ms. Stinson, I don't want to pursue this matter any further. Just knowing that Lucy is my child is enough. After everything we've been through these past few days, I'm simply exhausted."She looked over at Lucy, her gaze softening. "We're doing just fine now, just the two of us. So please, Ms. Stinson, I'm asking you not to come back into our lives."Jacklyn didn't expect Romy's tone to change so abruptly. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly scrambled for a response."Romy, listen. I checked with the hospital. The person who delivered the DNA results wasn't a regular nurse. She was just a fill-in. That result might not even be real. So, if we could just re—"Romy cut her off, "I'm sorry, Ms. Stinson. I've already made myself clear. This is where it ends. There's stew on the stove, and Lucy's waiting for dinner. I have to go."She ended the call without another word. The line went dead, and Jacklyn bit

    The day before, Jacklyn had shared her suspicions with Liam. She believed someone at the DNA testing lab might have shady ties to Penelope and asked him to investigate the matter.The results came in early this morning, and he came straight over.Liam handed her the documents. "I checked everyone who handled the hair sample. Their records are clean. None of them has any connection to Penelope."The answer took her by surprise. She frowned as she flipped through the pages. "No tampering? So, Lucy really is Romy's daughter?"But as doubt crept in, Jacklyn couldn't shake the memory of how unusually concerned Penelope had been for Lucy during the show's filming."No." She shook her head. "Penelope wouldn't suddenly care about a random child without a reason. I still believe something is off. Liam, if the staff are clean, maybe something else went wrong at the hospital.""Something else? Like what?" Liam asked.Jacklyn lowered her gaze. "Let me think it through."…That afternoon,
