Chapter 418

Author: Gathered Light
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."

    Irene pursed her lips and muttered, "I knew it wasn't that simple. But Jackie, how long are you planning on putting up with her?"Jacklyn remained calm and unhurried. "She'll slip up soon. No rush."Irene nodded, then brought up some recent news. "Did you hear? Lloyd Group just failed another round of financing, and their project was snatched up by Robertson Group.""I haven't been paying much attention, but Liam has been rather busy lately."Irene picked up an orange from the table, peeled it open, and offered it to Jacklyn. "I'm sure he's utterly swamped. Eugene's probably going to blow a fuse. Lately, Lloyd Group's current projects have been getting taken over by Liam. But Eugene does deserve it."…At the same time, Eugene, who had gone on a sudden business trip a few days ago after receiving urgent news, heard that another one of his projects had been snatched up by Robertson Group the moment he got off the plane.He was so furious that he fired several management-level peo

    Meanwhile, Irene had gotten off work early. She glanced at Theodore's room before asking, "Jackie, I still don't understand why you'd let Rebecca look after Theo. Her sudden interest in getting close to you can't be innocent."Jacklyn nodded. "I know, and that's why I want to keep her close. That way, I can get proof when she tries something, and I can take care of her for good."Everything suddenly clicked for Irene, and her eyes filled with admiration for Jacklyn. "So, you knew all along?""From the very first time I saw her, she's been claiming that she's cut ties with Penelope. But are two people who are fresh out of prison able to gain at least around five pounds if they don't have help?" Jacklyn pointed out casually.At first, she had only guessed that Penelope and Rebecca were still in contact, but now, she was almost certain.Irene shook her head, her expression growing solemn.Jacklyn turned to see the front door handle turning, and her gaze hardened. "If I find out that

    "As far as I know, Robertson Group's profits have been doubling every quarter, and all its subsidiaries are growing steadily," Liam said slowly.He then glanced up at Lara, his eyes completely emotionless. "If Robertson Group is going to collapse just because of who I marry, then don't you think the so-called 'century-old legacy' would be a joke?"Lara was rendered speechless, and her perfectly maintained face flushed with fury. "Liam, I'm your mother! How can you talk to me like this?""Enough!" Augustine snapped, having seen enough.His disapproving eyes swept over Lara, and in a cold voice, he said, "Look at yourself, Lara. Do you even look like the lady of the house anymore? Even Jacklyn would be more composed than you are right now!"Being compared to someone she hated made Lara nearly lose it. But because it was Augustine, she had no choice but to swallow her fury."Augustine, how can you compare me to Jacklyn?"Augustine ignored her entirely.Just then, Gregory, who had

    Jacklyn stood up without offering much of an explanation. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine.""But that's Rebecca. She even had her own daughter kidnapped, so who knows what she could possibly do to Theo? Are you sure you're okay handing him over to her?"Irene had hit the nail on the head. Jacklyn blinked calmly and said, "Of course not. That's why… Liam, do you have time to go with me to the domestic services agency?"Liam looked up at the mention of his name. "I do."Irene, seeing that she couldn't change Jacklyn's mind, turned to Theo and started rattling off everything he needed to be aware of.Jacklyn and Liam headed to the domestic services agency. When they arrived, Liam asked, "Jackie, why?""Are you asking about hiring a nanny or about Rebecca looking after Theo?""Both," Liam answered.Jacklyn smiled, and her eyes flicked to the company profile displayed on the second floor. "You'll see soon. Just sit back and enjoy the show."After browsing through for a bit, J

    Theodore shook his head. "He didn't."Irene handed him a glass of water to calm his nerves. "Theo, you can't just run out on your own from now on. Eugene might find you and take you away again."After everything that happened, Theodore was indeed a little scared. He nodded obediently and said, "I won't."Just then, a crisp knock suddenly came from the front door. Jacklyn glanced at everyone in the room, and just as she felt puzzled, the voice that she least wanted to hear rang out from the other side of the door."Jackie, it's Mom. Open the door, won't you?"Irene got up, intending to go outside. "I'll handle her."Jacklyn gently placed her hand on Irene's to stop her. "No need."Under Irene's and Liam's confused gazes, Jacklyn opened the door. Seeing Rebecca again, Jacklyn realized that she looked very different from before. Though her clothes were still plain, as if life was hard, the gold necklace peeking from her neckline and her slightly fuller cheeks all told a different

    Eugene snapped impatiently, "I'm at the office! Noah is at home. Why would he be looking for me? Stop bothering me, Penelope!"The moment the call ended, Penelope saw a location pin pop up on her phone. She knew right away that it had to be from Jacklyn.Without a second thought, she rushed to the bridal boutique. But as soon as she stepped through the door, she was greeted by a deeply infatuated look on Eugene's face. It was a look she had never seen before in the past five years.The white wedding dress that Jacklyn wore—that was something Penelope couldn't ever achieve, not even after five years of hard work or even after giving him a child.Why? Why was it that the things she longed for and fought so hard for never came to her? And yet Jacklyn only had to come back, and everything was delivered to her on a silver platter?Anger and resentment surged through her as her eyes turned bloodshot. Unable to control her fury anymore, she ran up to Jacklyn and violently tore at the r
