Chapter 357

Author: Gathered Light
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

    Amanda moved as fast as she could to locate Romy. But when she arrived at her address, she only found an empty, messy apartment.When Penelope got word of that, she immediately went to find Jacklyn.It seemed as if Jacklyn had guessed Penelope would come to see her, so she wasn't overly surprised."You need something?" Jacklyn asked as she set the documents in her hand down, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Penelope in front of her.Penelope's eyes were ablaze. She gritted her teeth as she demanded, "Where's Romy? You're the one who stashed her, aren't you? Where is she?""Ha! And why would I tell you that?" Jacklyn asked, her tone unbothered.The studio was quiet, so their two voices echoed in the open space. Suddenly, the stifling tension in the air seemed to take on a tangible form.Penelope's hands slowly curled into fists. "Why are you hiding her? This matter has nothing to do with you, Jacklyn.""Of course it does. Don't worry, Penelope. Romy is very safe righ

    "Do you really think there are so many coincidences?" Jacklyn asked, her gaze so sharp it looked like it wanted to cut through the fog clouding Romy's eyes."Penelope gave birth, and on the same day, you delivered prematurely. Also, all the regular delivery rooms just so happened to be full that day, so you were placed in the VIP suite that was only occupied by the two of you."Romy also knew that too many coincidences meant that something was afoot. When enough details piled up, signs of human manipulation began to show. She thought back to that moment when she was hit by the bike. Even now, her heart pounded at the memory. Romy blinked, finally admitting, "Your suspicions aren't without reason. But Lucy—"Jacklyn interrupted her, "Rather than arguing about it, wouldn't a DNA test be a quicker way to determine what the truth really is?"After much deliberation, Romy finally gave in.While they waited for the DNA results, Amanda's scandal escalated further. Oliver's fans mocke

    Jacklyn quickly strode over and stopped in front of the security guard."Hello. May I ask how long you've been working here?"The guard wasn't busy at the moment and was happy to chat. "Close to 20 years, I think. This place has good benefits, and the job's easy.""20 years," Jacklyn repeated, her eyes bright. "In that case, do you know who was in charge of the surveillance room five years ago?" she continued to press as she slipped him some money. Pocketing the cash, the guard chuckled and answered, "If it were anyone else, I might not know them, but the surveillance operator back then happened to be my friend—Jim Oswald."Then, he gave Jacklyn an address.Jacklyn and Romy followed the address and arrived at Jim's place. As soon as they stepped inside, Jacklyn explained their purpose before asking, "The footage back then… it was tampered with, wasn't it?"Jim fell silent for a while before finally letting out a sigh. "Yes. You assumed correctly. The footage back then was ind

    After leaving the hospital, Jacklyn went to find Romy.The first thing she asked was, "Romy, would you like to do a DNA test with Lucy?"Romy's hand, which was holding a cup, trembled. For the first time, her usually gentle expression turned dark, and even the polite smile on her lips disappeared."What are you talking about?"Anyone would be upset to hear someone suddenly asking for a DNA test, and Romy was no exception.Jacklyn looked at her seriously as she explained, "Both you and Penelope gave birth at Swanford Women and Children's Hospital, and both on June 8th. According to your hospital records, your child wasn't born on the expected due date."Romy was surprised that Jacklyn knew that much, but she still found it preposterous that Jacklyn suspected Lucy wasn't her biological daughter.She replied with certainty, "That could just be a coincidence. With how big the world is, there are tons of kids born on the same day. There's nothing suspicious about that.""And what ab

    After Romy officially pulled out of the filming, Jacklyn asked Irene to keep an even closer eye on Amanda.Three days later, Irene returned with some good news."Do you know who Amanda has been obsessing over lately?" Irene asked, taking a sip of water after walking in.Over the past few years, Jacklyn had heard from Irene how obsessed Amanda had been with chasing celebrities. But she didn't pay close enough attention to know exactly who they were.She shook her head.Irene leaned in, explaining excitedly. "Oliver Lowe. He's not under Starborne, but he's super tight with Ernest. Oliver's going to be holding a fan meeting in Swanford in a couple of days. There's going to be a raffle, and the winner gets to have a meal with him. "With how obsessed Amanda is with her celebrity crushes, I would bet anything that she'll be joining."Jacklyn frowned as she almost reflexively said, "You want to take advantage of her being away to go to the hospital?"Irene nodded fervently. "Yes! Tha

    Surrounding Lucy were a few boys from the village. Each of them was holding pebbles, and they were glaring at her with righteous indignation."Why does everyone need to work, but you don't?""Exactly. Everyone's working hard for the village, but only you and your mom are standing to the side and watching. If you're not here to help, why are you taking up other people's resources?"The kids were so angry that they hadn't held back, and those pebbles had struck Lucy on the forehead, splitting it open and causing it to bleed. Romy's expression paled. But before she could rush over, another small figure had darted out and stood in front of Lucy.Theodore spread his arms wide to shield her. "Stop it! Who gave you the right to hit people?"The village boys felt perfectly justified. "She's the one who hogged screentime, didn't help the village, and ended up being a burden to everyone!""What a load of nonsense! Lucy's sick, and the production team already allowed her not to do any wor
