Chapter 396

Author: Gathered Light
Eugene was well aware of the Robertsons' reputation for propriety. Yet, there was Liam, proposing to Jacklyn without a single Robertson in sight.

His eyes narrowed. He drew in a slow breath, lips curling into a smirk.

Inside the steakhouse, the air was thick with tension, emotions teetering on the edge. Reason and restraint had long since fallen away.

Liam's earnest gaze was reflected in Jacklyn's eyes, and something in it struck her deeply.

Her lashes fluttered downward, eyes shimmering with emotion, brimming so full they could spill over at any second.

"Jackie, will you?"

Liam opened the velvet box, and the diamond inside caught the light, dazzling and brilliant.

Jacklyn didn't need a second glance. As a jewelry designer, she instantly recognized it was a piece crafted with love, a reflection of Liam's heart.

A faint smile had just begun to form on her lips, and she was starting to nod when hands shot out in front of her and snatched the ring box away.

    After saying that, Jacklyn turned and walked away without looking back.In the days that followed, Liam never showed up at her apartment. And Jacklyn, sticking to the same silent understanding, didn't reach out either.Ever since the proposal had gone sideways, they'd each pulled back into their own worlds, like they were resetting everything back to square one.But then, someone unexpected showed up, ripping right through the fragile calm they'd barely been holding onto.…Starborne Entertainment was finally finding its footing.Irene stood by Jacklyn, quarterly reports and future plans in hand, walking her through the numbers. Jacklyn, after all, was the company's main shareholder.Then, the studio door flew open.In stepped Cecily, head-to-toe in the latest Chanel haute couture. The light from the hallway spilled in behind her, catching in her hair, every strand gleaming like it had been lit on purpose.Even as a romantic rival, Jacklyn had to admit that Cecily was breathta

  • Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 397

    Everyone knew the Robertsons, and of course, the Lloyds were just as well-known. Jacklyn had once been married to a Lloyd. Now, she'd just received a proposal from a Robertson.That was some high-society drama.And just when it seemed like the gossip had run its course, that voice rang out from the crowd again, "If Mr. Robertson is claiming the five-year-old child as his own, but Mrs. Lloyd was still married at the time, are we saying she had an affair and gave birth to Mr. Robertson's child while she was still with Mr. Lloyd?"The crowd gasped in disbelief."She cheated on her husband with Mr. Robertson.""What a disgrace! Poor Mr. Lloyd!"The murmurs around them drained the color from Jacklyn's face. She was already unsteady on her feet, and now, she looked ready to collapse.She hadn't done anything wrong. Yet somehow, she was the one taking the fall for all of it.Liam's chest tightened. He gripped her wrist in a silent show of support, then raised his voice to cut through

    The moment Theodore finished speaking, the elevator doors slid open. Irene came rushing out, her face pale with panic."I just saw that bastard Eugene driving off while I was in my car. Was he here? Did he hurt you?"Jacklyn's eyes dropped to Theodore's scraped knees. "He hurt Theo."Irene's face crumpled with guilt and worry. "I'm sorry. I should've come up with Theo."Jacklyn shook her head. "This is on Eugene, not you. Let's just go home, Irene."Irene nodded.…By the time they got back to the apartment, Liam was already there.His brows knitted the moment he saw the scrapes on Theodore's knees. When he heard what had happened, his gaze dropped, and his expression turned grim.Irene brought over the first-aid kit and gently tended to Theodore's wounds."That bastard Eugene is unbelievable. How could he lay a hand on Theo? He's just five years old."Her hands froze mid-motion. She looked at Jacklyn, then turned to Liam. "Liam, when are you going to marry Jackie? Put an en

    Jacklyn's eyes flared with disgust."What makes you think I have anything to do with some kid from Lloyd Manor? What kind of 'family' is this supposed to be? Eugene, it's been five years."If you haven't grown a brain by now, you should've at least developed some common sense. You really think I'd take back a man who cheated on me, let alone accept the children he had from his affairs?"A flicker of tension passed over Eugene's face. In his memory, no matter what had happened between them, Jacklyn had always spoken in that soft, calming voice, never like this.And that was exactly why he'd felt safe pushing her boundaries. Deep down, he was sure she still loved him. Those years they'd spent together couldn't have been fake.No one knew better than he did just how deeply she'd adored him. This anger was just a phase, a storm that would pass.All he needed to do was say the right thing, smooth it over, and everything would fall back into place. Lloyd Manor would welcome its lady ag

    "Me?" Jacklyn stared at the burgundy invitation, her silence heavy.In the entire Robertson family, only Liam and Augustine had ever truly welcomed her. Lara, on the other hand, hated her down to the bone. Showing up at an event like this would just put everyone on edge.She drew in a slow breath, let it out, and gently pushed the invitation back toward Liam."I'm sorry. I can't go. Lara already can't stand me. If I show up, it'll only make things worse for everyone.""No, you won't." Liam pressed the invitation firmly back into her hand. "Grandpa asked me to give this to you. Mom doesn't get to overrule him.""I'm grateful he thought of me, but Lara's health is fragile. If I upset her enough to make her sick, I don't think I could live with that."Stirring up more drama was the last thing on her mind.Liam said quietly, "She's fine. That hospital stay a while back was just a stunt to pressure me into marrying Cecily. As soon as she realized I wasn't buying it, she came straight
