Chapter 356

Author: Gathered Light
Penelope glanced around self-consciously after getting called out. When she saw that no one was passing by and there were no cameras rolling, she finally let out a quiet breath of relief.

She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth as she warned, "Jacklyn, keep your mouth shut if you don't have evidence to back it up, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Jacklyn just shrugged indifferently. "You think I'm scared of you?"

The fierceness in her stance forced Penelope back a step. "You! Let's see how long you can stay so smug!"

After Penelope stormed off, Jacklyn turned to Romy, her expression serious. "Do you know her?"

Romy was confused, too. Shaking her head, she answered, "I never met her before the show."

Jacklyn continued to stare at Penelope's retreating figure as thoughts churned in her head. She couldn't help but feel that something was off about her today.

Soon, the break ended. Lucas wanted to film some shots of the kids planting trees on their own, so the parents all moved

    During their break, all the filming came to a stop.Jacklyn asked Irene to keep an eye on the hospital and continue monitoring for an opportunity to resume the investigation. As for herself, she'd use the downtime to get closer to Romy.Thanks to the rapport they'd built earlier, Romy had a pretty good impression of Jacklyn. When she saw her bring Theodore over to play with Lucy, she welcomed them warmly."Lucy doesn't have many friends. I'm glad that Theo can spend time with her. Thank you," Romy said. Romy was an overall very gentle person, and even her voice was soft, which gave people an immediate sense of ease around her.Jacklyn smiled faintly, resting her hands casually on the stone bench. "Theo's just returned to Cyrelia, too, and he doesn't have many friends either. It's good that he and Lucy get along."Ever since joining the show, Romy had been on the receiving end of a great deal of hostility. Now, hearing Jacklyn's warm tone and friendly attitude, she visibly relaxe

    After Penelope listened to Amanda's recount of the story, her heart practically jumped out of her chest. She kept asking, "Are you sure she hadn't gone in?"Amanda nodded. "Yup. There wasn't enough time for her to get inside."The thought of Jacklyn already looking into things made Penelope prickle with unease. "No. I need to go see Jacklyn."With that, she went straight to find her and immediately demanded, "Who gave you the right to look into me?"Jacklyn raised an eyebrow and asked, "Nervous, are we?"Those eyes of hers seemed to see right through her, making a chill run down Penelope's spine. "I… What would I be nervous about?"Taking a deep breath, she steadied her emotions. "After Noah was born, Lydia had a paternity test done right away. Noah is undeniably a Lloyd."Her lips then curled up as she continued to stare at Jacklyn. "Even if you're poking around behind my back, it won't change the facts."That thought calmed her slightly. Everything back then had been done w

    After a moment of silence, Jacklyn spoke as if she'd made some kind of decision, "Liam…"She'd already experienced a marriage that had left her in tatters. It was Liam who had pulled her out of the abyss, slowly guiding her out of the shadows of her former life.Indeed, she had fallen for him.But adults always had to make tough choices. Asking Liam to forsake his family and choose her? She couldn't do that. She'd rather suffer alone. "If that day really comes, choose your family," Jacklyn said softly after a long internal struggle.Liam lowered his eyes, his long lashes hiding the hurt in them. "Jackie, choosing my family means agreeing to marry Cecily.""I don't want you to be stuck in the middle," she said gently.The silence that followed felt like a huge boulder sitting on her chest. She drew deep breaths as she continued to force a smile on her face.It wasn't that she didn't care. She couldn't.Liam suddenly took her hand. "Jackie, if I really planned on marrying anyon

    At that point, Penelope paused, and a tender look appeared in her eyes. "But now that I've seen her, Amanda, I can't just ignore her anymore. She's so tiny, and she still wants to work even though she's sick. My heart aches to see her running around doing this and that."Penelope's quiet tone made Amanda sense that something was amiss. She turned toward her and asked, "So… you want to reclaim her?"As much as Penelope's heart ached, she knew that the moment she reclaimed Lucy, she would have to give up everything she had now. She had put in so much effort to climb to where she was today. Was she really going to throw it all away for a child?No. Of course not.The conflict in her eyes slowly faded. She looked up and shook her head. "No way. I fought too hard to get my life where it is right now. I won't let anyone ruin it."…That night, after filming ended, Theodore and Jacklyn returned to House No. 6. Irene was there, too. The production team loosened the rules when the cameras

    Jacklyn stood there, finding it more and more odd how concerned Penelope was. Wasn't she paying a little too much attention to Lucy?With a narrowed gaze, Jacklyn walked over to Penelope and asked, curious, "Penelope, why have I never seen you care this much about any other kid?"Penelope always got flustered around Jacklyn. She looked away, avoiding her gaze as she answered, "I just think Lucy's really cute. Besides, can't I just like little girls?"Jacklyn raised an eyebrow and gave her a barely-there smirk. "You like them? That's easy enough. Just ask Eugene to have one with you."Then, the smirk on her face widened as she continued, "But… I guess that'll depend on whether he's willing or not."That struck a nerve. Ever since Noah, Penelope hadn't been pregnant again.That thought made her glare at Jacklyn viciously while gritting her teeth. "Aren't you sticking your nose too far into other people's business? Do you really think you're still the lady of the house from five yea

    Noah's words pricked deeply at Penelope's conscience. She quickly took his hand and denied it, "What nonsense is that? I just want you to be more caring toward your friends."As she spoke, her eyes kept sweeping across the faces of the people around them. She then grabbed Noah and hurried off.After the whole debacle, Lucy had forgotten that she had been crying just moments ago."Don't worry too much," Theodore said as he handed her a handkerchief."Don't take her words to heart. Mr. Lucas gave you permission not to work, and no one else has the right to question that."Lucy took the handkerchief from him, wiped her tears, then nodded firmly.Soon, evening arrived.After a break, the production team gathered the nine families at the village entrance. A pile of newly purchased firewood stood there. The kids' task was to deliver the firewood to the elderly residents around the village, film short videos with them, and spend some time offering company and care.It didn't take long
