Author: Gathered Light
The voice startled Rebecca so badly that she shuddered. When she turned and met Irene's eyes, a cold sweat immediately broke out down her back.

Irene narrowed her eyes and glanced at the study's ajar door. "Don't tell me you're—"

"I was just bringing Jackie a glass of milk!" Rebecca jumped in quickly, raising the glass in her hand.

Then, she boldly pushed the door open and walked in. As she passed Jacklyn and Liam, she managed to catch sight of the documents in their hands from the corner of her eye.

"Jackie, I know that you have a habit of drinking a glass of milk at night, so I brought you one," Rebecca said with an awkward chuckle.

Jacklyn glanced at the glass and said indifferently, "In the future, don't come into the study without permission."

    Abel said, "Yeah, I know. I caught the Golden Cup, too. Just because I'm taking a break doesn't mean I'm totally checked out.

Want to get some food?""You bet," Jacklyn replied.After she hung up, she shot a look at Cecily, who was playing with Theodore. Her brows furrowed slightly.Maybe Abel could give her a hand with Cecily.…Jacklyn and Liam showed up at Swanford Airport bright and early the next day, before Abel's plane even touched down. Once they picked him up, they went to a restaurant.As soon as they settled in, Abel jumped right into what had been going on."Cecily's whole situation has caused a bit of an international ruckus. Anna, even though I've been out of the loop on what's happening at Cyrelia, the news still reached me."Things haven't been easy for you since you've been back in Swanford, have they?"In just a few words, he cut right through the ca

    Jacklyn's question wiped the grin right off Eugene's face.He pulled his hands back and leaned against the long table, his tone low. "Yeah, it was me. But I was only looking out for myself."He owned up to it without hesitation. Then, he slowly fished out a cigarette and lit it up. Jacklyn's eyes followed the thin smoke as it snaked upward.Her gaze hardened, her voice turning to ice. "Looking out for yourself? Eugene, you knew full well that everything online was fake. You trashed the Schumers with a bunch of made-up stuff. This is how you play the game?"Eugene lowered his head. "Call it what you want. Dirty or not, if it works, it works. And come on, Jackie. My hands were tied. Cecily's sudden fame brought the Schumers' dead business back to life."I was about to gobble up everything they had, and now, it's all slipped through my fingers. What, you think I should just sit here and let them get back on their feet so they can come back and wipe me out?"Jacklyn's hands were shak

    Jacklyn glared, her eyes like ice. "That's nonsense. Who sent you here?"Amy's gaze wavered for a second, but she quickly got hold of herself, getting back to the matter at hand. "Ms. Stinson, we need a direct answer. Yes or no?"From the looks of it, Jacklyn realized they weren't going to let her off the hook tonight without giving them an answer.She took a deep breath and then stared straight into the camera. "First, your questions are a load of nonsense, and I'm not going to entertain a baseless narrative. On top of that, I stand by the Schumers."They're nothing like the rumors suggest, and they can absolutely weather any investigation. And Cecily? She's my friend and a talent signed to Starborne Entertainment. Of course, I'm going to have her back."Amy was taken aback by how solid Jacklyn's answer was. It left her speechless for a moment.But Jacklyn wasn't done yet. She drove her point home. "What's happening to Cecily is Starborne's responsibility. I'll stand with her, a

    Online rumors were a dime a dozen. The moment someone started talking, others jumped on the bandwagon, spreading the news as if it were gospel—Liam and Cecily were getting engaged.Sure, a few people mentioned Jacklyn, but most just saw her as a nobody, all looks and no substance, with a kid to boot. There was simply no way the Robertsons would ever let her marry into their family.Cecily, though? She was more than just a big-name celebrity. She had the backing of the Schumers, one of Swanford's top ten old-money families.Jacklyn was out of her league.

She made it crystal cl

    Penelope gave Eugene the side-eye and sneered. "Gene, I'm not stuck on some guy the way you are with Jacklyn. You're still pining for her even after she had a kid with another guy."The comment was a low blow.Eugene shot her a furious glare and ground out through clenched teeth. "Knock it off!"Realizing he was seriously pissed, Penelope clammed up."Say that again, and I swear, you can get the hell out!" he spat, then turned and walked away.…Cecily's rise to fame sent the Schumers' business soaring. Her fame was a game-changer, knocking the industry's two longtime heavyweights off balance.Their rivals, green with envy over Schumer Group's success, were sure to hit back, either with a full-on war or by pulling some shady stunts.The Schumers had braced themselves for a fight when they saw their numbers take off, but they never thought their rivals would get their hands that dirty.Schumer Group's biggest money-maker was a snack brand everyone and their mother knew.
