Chapter 403

Author: Gathered Light
Eugene's expression twitched with impatience. He frowned, his voice turning cold. "So what? Noah's not just yours. He's mine, too. He's a Lloyd. Stop wasting your time, Romy. I'm taking both Noah and Lucy."

His pushy, domineering tone made Romy's face go even paler.

"No. There's nothing for Noah with you."

She looked up and stared him down. "I've seen everything about your past online, Eugene. You're not just a jerk. You've got zero morals. I'm not letting Noah grow up around you. He'd end up just like you—someone everyone hates."

Romy's words lit a fire in Eugene. His face dropped hard.

"The Lloyds have power and money. With us, Noah gets the best schools and the best shot at life. He'll be ahead of the curve from day one. And with you? What's he supposed to end up with? A set of useless values?

"The only future Noah has is with the Lloyds. Romy, do yourself a favor, walk away while I'm still playing nice."

Romy rose to her feet, about to respond.

    Eugene fixed his eyes on Jacklyn and spoke deliberately, "We're still legally married. That makes you my wife. You have no right to be with Liam, let alone marry him."Liam lowered his gaze, his brows knitting into a deep frown and a dangerous tension rising off him. "You've been apart for five years. That's basically a divorce in every way that matters."Gasps rippled through the crowd."Oh, my gosh! She really is Mrs. Lloyd. She was married and had a kid. And Liam's still into her?""The real question is, who's the father? Eugene or Liam?""There's no way the Robertsons would let a woman like her into their family."The whispers around them swelled.Just hearing the exchange between Eugene and Liam was enough to leave Lara and Gregory fuming. What should've been a joyful birthday banquet had turned into a public spectacle.Gregory was no longer concerned about what Augustine might think. He stormed up, yanked Liam to the side, and clamped a hand around his wrist.Jabbing a f

    Augustine's expression darkened as he shot Lara a withering look. "Jackie's a world-class jewelry designer. She does best in appraising precious metals and gemstones."Did you really think everyone else gets to sit around playing the rich housewife all day, like you?"Lara's face went pitch black, like someone had slapped her with soot. Getting chewed out in front of a crowd made her clench her fists hard.She didn't say a word, but in her mind, this was just one more debt to settle with Jacklyn.Once Lara fell silent, Augustine finally looked away."I know you've all come today to celebrate my birthday. But besides that, I have another good news to share," he said, grinning ear to ear, his entire demeanor glowing with joy.He gestured toward Liam. "He's finally getting married. I hope those of you who can make it will come and join us for the celebration.""Getting married? Mr. Liam is getting married?""To whom? Who's the lucky one who's won his heart?"While everyone else w

    Jacklyn stepped in front of Theodore, her face tightening.If there was one thing she couldn't stand, it was people talking down on Theodore. She didn't care that Lara was Liam's mother. She wasn't about to let that slide."Theo's just a kid, Lara. Don't dump whatever issues you have with me on him."Lara rolled her eyes at Jacklyn. "You could've just taken him and left earlier. No one made you stay and get yelled at."Then, she waved to the two security guards standing by the door. "Get them out of here. They're no longer welcome here."The second Lara finished talking, everyone turned and stared at Jacklyn and Theodore. The humiliation hit her all at once, and she nearly turned to run.Jacklyn drew in a deep breath, her grip on Theodore's hand tightening.They were just about to head out when Liam came running after them. Without a word, he grabbed Jacklyn's wrist and pulled her firmly to his side, then turned to face Lara."She has an invitation, and she's here as Grandpa's

    Jacklyn was dead set on finding out exactly what Rebecca was up to.…Tension hung heavy in Lloyd Group's CEO's office. Kacey stood stiff, too afraid to move.After a long, heavy silence, Eugene, seated at the head of the table, suddenly snatched the documents off the desk and slammed them down by Kacey's feet.He spoke through gritted teeth, "We've spent a month getting this project ready, and this is what you come back with? One screw-up, and a month of work from the whole company goes straight down the drain."I want an explanation. What exactly happened?"Kacey flinched at his voice, her spine stiffening."The project liaison from the other company was caught taking kickbacks. They inspected the entire shipment and identified quality issues, which led to the project being shut down."The liaison who had been working directly with us was fired on the spot."Her voice grew fainter with every word. By the end, she was staring down at her shoes.Eugene scowled and shook his h

    The flood of questions left Rebecca looking rattled. She frowned, her face scrunching up with this wounded, almost guilty look."Jackie, I honestly don't know why you'd think I had some hidden agenda. I just stopped by the set this morning to drop off some food for you."She looked down, her voice barely above a whisper. "I know you've never really gotten past what I did. I just wanted to do something to make up for it."Suddenly, like she'd just remembered something, she turned and dashed into a room. A few seconds later, she came back with a lunchbox."I made all the things you loved as a kid. I got up before sunrise to make them. I was going to bring them to you on set, but you weren't there, so I just headed home."Rebecca flipped the lunchbox open mid-sentence, revealing an array of delicate pastries inside."I wasn't at the set for long. I had no idea Harriet was hurt. And as for Penelope..." She let out a weary sigh. "We're completely out of touch now."Jacklyn's eyes lin

    Jacklyn broke off mid-sentence, then looked up at Ronan. "One more thing. Were you in on the staircase incident with that person behind you?"Ronan answered right away, "No. I wasn't part of it. I just happened to film it."Jacklyn studied him for a few seconds, trying to read his face, then figured he was being straight with her this time.After giving her statement and walking out of the police station, Liam asked, "Was it Penelope again?"Jacklyn nodded. "I'm sure of it.""So what now? Should we send her a warning?" Liam asked.Jacklyn nodded again, her lashes casting a dark shadow over her gaze. "Absolutely. But this isn't just about sending a warning. This incident made something clear to me."As long as I let her stay in the industry, she'll keep stirring up trouble for me and Starborne. The only real solution is to force her out of the industry completely."Liam caught the look in her eyes and knew she meant every word. "Just say the word. I've got your back."Jacklyn g
