Chapter 359

Author: Gathered Light
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

    Penelope scoffed. "Lucy's just an illegitimate daughter. Gene doesn't even need to know she exists. We have Noah now, and I'm not letting anyone ruin our lives."She had fought hard to keep the peace. Jacklyn was already a constant nuisance. She refused to let another woman come in and rip her family apart."Romy." Her voice softened, but the glint in her eyes and the slight curl of her lips said otherwise. "If you're set on tearing my family apart, then don't be surprised by what comes next."She shot an icy look toward the nursery door, left slightly open."I'll make you suffer, with Lucy next to you."Being a mother herself, Penelope knew precisely how to exploit another mother's vulnerabilities.That was why she was sure Romy wouldn't act recklessly, not with Lucy's safety at risk. As long as Romy stayed away from Eugene, Penelope would eventually find a way to remove them both.After giving her warning, Penelope returned to Lloyd Manor.As soon as she stepped inside, she w

  • Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 373

    After seeing the DNA test results, Romy let go of her doubts.Now, all she could think about was how much Lucy had been through, and her heart ached. She exchanged a few polite words with Jacklyn and left with Lucy.Jacklyn watched them go, her eyes growing dim. Something felt off. She could sense it. She looked up, studying the hospital staff passing by.If she were Penelope, the most effective way to keep Romy from the truth would be to make her believe Lucy was truly her daughter.The hair samples hadn't been tampered with, so the problem had to be with the hospital.…The evening was damp and hazy, with a thick mist hanging over Lloyd Manor.Amanda hurried inside, clutching her coat tighter around her. As soon as she stepped in, Penelope's anxious voice broke the silence."Well? Did you take care of things at the hospital?"Amanda nodded. "It's done. You can relax now."Only then did Penelope lean back, the tension easing from her body. "Good. Even if Jacklyn drags Romy i

    Jacklyn's intuition was terrifyingly sharp. What began as a passing suspicion gradually became a calculated pursuit of the truth. Bit by bit, she uncovered every layer of Penelope's deception."Y-You're spouting nonsense!" Penelope snapped, though her voice wavered under the weight of guilt.She couldn't believe it. For years, no one had suspected a thing. She'd hidden it all so well. How had Jacklyn, barely back in Cyrelia, seen right through her?"Like I said, proving your little schemes won't be hard. But honestly? I'm more curious about what Eugene will do to you once he finds out," Jacklyn said as she stepped closer.Her presence was suffocating.Cold sweat gathered on Penelope's forehead. Even so, she still refused to crack. "I don't know what you're talking about.""For your information, a DNA test doesn't actually need Lucy. Romy and Noah are more than enough."Penelope stared in shock as Jacklyn bent down and picked up a soft, short strand of hair from the couch. It was

    Winifred gritted her teeth and stammered, "It's… M-Mrs. Lloyd. She's back. And there's a woman with her."Penelope's heart slammed against her ribs, like something heavy had dropped inside her."What?" She swallowed, dread clawing its way up her throat.Thank God Eugene wasn't here. And over the past five years, her trusted aides had increasingly filled Lloyd Manor."Jackie died in that car crash five years ago," Penelope spat, her eyes hardening. "Who knows if it's just some random lookalike trying to scam us? Get rid of them."She crossed the room and dropped onto the couch.She'd planned to have Jacklyn thrown out on the spot. But before Winifred could even move, Jacklyn walked in like she owned the place, with Romy right behind her.Penelope froze, fury and disbelief flashing across her face. But Jacklyn met her gaze, steady and unbothered."What are you doing here?" Penelope snapped. She'd braced for everything, except Jacklyn actually showing up.Jacklyn cut straight to

    Penelope walked up to Lucy and crouched down in front of her. "What are you doing here?"Lucy trembled as she lifted her head. When she saw that it was Penelope, some of the fear on her face faded. "I… I got lost. I can't find my way back."Penelope narrowed her eyes at Lucy. A grin spread across her face as she repeated, "You got lost, huh? Don't worry. I'll take you back."With that, Penelope reached her hand out to Lucy. If it had been anyone else, Lucy definitely wouldn't have followed. But the two people in front of her now weren't strangers, and for some reason, she actually liked Penelope and wanted to be close to her. So, she followed them.Not long after they left, Romy, Jacklyn, and Liam arrived. After checking the security footage, they were almost certain that Lucy was in the park. But no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find her.As time ticked by, Romy grew more and more anxious, and she couldn't stop murmuring, "What should we do? There's still no sign

    Jacklyn paused what she was doing and asked, "Are things on your end going smoothly?""Very. Before the DNA results come back, no one will be able to locate Romy's whereabouts. Do you want to go see her and Lucy?"The words had barely left Liam's mouth when Jacklyn's phone suddenly started ringing. For some reason, a wave of unease washed over her.She had just answered the call when Romy's voice came through, choked with tears, "J-Jacklyn… Lucy's missing!"Jacklyn leaped to her feet. She instinctively glanced at Liam before continuing the conversation, "When did this happen? Calm down and don't panic. I'm coming to you right away."Soon, the two arrived at Romy's place.Seeing Jacklyn, Romy felt like she had found a lifeline."Earlier, Lucy said she wanted to go play on the slide downstairs. I thought it was safe since there are security guards patrolling the compound. But it's been an hour, and I've searched everywhere in the complex, and there's no sign of her."Jacklyn reac
