Chapter 566

Author: Gathered Light
Suddenly, the phone on the table lit up, catching Penelope's attention.

It was a call from Eugene.

Excited, she exchanged a quick glance with Amanda before answering, "Hello, Gene!"

"Penelope, I've thought about it, and Lloyd Manor still needs you. You haven't moved your things out yet, right? Come back and stay," Eugene said.

That was the news Penelope had been longing for—being allowed to return to Lloyd Manor.

"Okay, Gene. I've missed you so much these past few days," she said shyly.

"Alright."

And with that, he hung up.

Perhaps the news had made her so giddy with excitement that she didn't notice how cold Eugene had sounded.

Amanda, however, had noticed. "Penelope, don't you think Eugene's attitude was a little…"

"Oh, it's fine. Gene's probably still mad. I'll just have to coax him when I go back," Penelope answered, still feeling delighted and clutching her phone.

"That Noah, usually so useless, but who knew he'd actually come through for me in a clutch? Guess raising h

    "Mom." Liam pushed the door open and walked in, ignoring Bianca as he went straight to his seat.He had been standing outside for a long while. To him, all of Bianca's excuses reeked of ulterior motives."Now you remember to come back?" Lara's voice was sharp. Her every word was edged toward Liam, who had not returned for a long time.Liam countered evenly, "This is my home. Why couldn't I come back?"Lara sneered. "When everything's fine, you never show up, no matter how many times I ask you to come over. But the moment you're in trouble, suddenly, family matters again. "Where's Jacklyn? Isn't she supposed to be so capable? Why isn't she here cleaning up your mess?"Her tone was steeped in scorn. Every word carried her accusation for his choosing of Jacklyn as his girlfriend and fiancee."Look at her." Lara pointed toward Bianca, who was sitting pitifully like a wronged little wife. "This is the trouble you brought home, isn't it?""No," Liam denied calmly.That made Lara br

    Cecily shared her recent happy news, and after the brief celebration, everyone returned to their work.She had wanted to linger and chat a little longer, but Irene cut in bluntly, saying even the Best Actress could not act high and mighty. She promptly packed her off back to Starborne Entertainment.…At Liam's villa, he and Jacklyn lay together on the wide bed. Away from the chaos, there were only the two of them now.Jacklyn reached out to stroke his face, her gaze full of tenderness. Her voice was soft as she murmured, "You must be tired, rushing back just for me."Liam's eyes, bloodshot from exhaustion, still brimmed with affection. "I was afraid you'd be upset. If I came back sooner, you'd be happy sooner.""Silly. I'm not a child anymore. I wouldn't throw a tantrum over something so superficial. I only worried about you. You worked all day, couldn't even rest at the hotel, and had to go straight to the airport. You had to sneak around just to come back. You can't do that ne

    Noticing the way Liam was watching her with quiet caution, Jacklyn let out a soft laugh. "I've always been grateful to you, Liam."The words steadied his heart, leaving him a little embarrassed."I knew you'd believe me."Tilting her head, Jacklyn spoke with a half-serious, half-playful air, "Alright, what matters now is finding the truth. I don't know what's going on with Robertson Group's PR department, but last night, Starborne went head-to-head with the people on your behalf."She smiled as if it were nothing. If it were not for the generous overtime she paid, Jacklyn doubted the PR department would have been so willing to rush back to the office at 11:30 pm.Irene continued immediately, "The situation's under control for now. The opinions online have basically split into two. "One group is convinced Liam cheated and is rallying behind you, while the other insists he didn't. They firmly believe it was nothing more than a business ploy, and they're standing firm with you and

    Penelope answered lightly, "Just passing by.""Odore doesn't welcome you here." Irene's voice was cold and absolute.But Penelope was in high spirits. No matter what anyone said to her, it barely registered. All she could see was Jacklyn's face trying and failing to hold itself together. All she could hear was that helpless sigh.Vengeance was sweet for Penelope.She ignored Irene's warning and stepped closer to Jacklyn. "My dear sister, did you catch last night's news?"Of course, she knew Jacklyn had seen it. She only wanted to rub salt in her wound.With a sneer, she went on, "Turns out Liam cheated too? And here I thought he loved you. How hypocritical." Her expression exaggerated every word, laced with mockery and spite."Turns out? Does that mean Eugene didn't just have you as a mistress but has even more?" Irene's voice cut in from behind.She was unwilling to be outdone. After all, Penelope only dared bully Jacklyn because Jacklyn was too sophisticated. Irene was more t

    From the moment that woman appeared to the door being slammed shut, the whole scene had not even lasted five minutes.When the door closed, Liam stood frozen for several seconds before quickly calling Robertson Group's PR department.…At Odore, Irene burst into Jacklyn's office in a fluster, hair disheveled. "Jacklyn!""What happened?" Jacklyn blinked, puzzled.Irene did not slow down. She hurried straight to the desk, bracing her palms against it as she caught her breath. "Have you seen the news? Did Liam really have a mistress?""That sounds absurd, Irene." Jacklyn frowned in disbelief, taking the phone."Robertson Group's CEO Spotted with Mistress in Solaria." The headline was splashed across Twitter's trending list.Clicking into it, the video showed a half-naked woman clinging to Liam outside a hotel room, and reporters crowded around them, firing questions. Liam denied every word, but the woman kept speaking about their supposed relationship.Online, the tide had alre

    After being discharged, Penelope moved into Lloyd Manor quickly. To get revenge on Jacklyn, she and Amanda soon met again to plot their next move."Penelope, living in Lloyd Manor really does make a difference. You look like a whole new person," Amanda teased as she watched Penelope step into the cafe, glowing with vitality. "Nonsense." Penelope's heart leapt with joy.They chatted idly for a while. It was all about the latest line of luxury brands for the season. When the mood was right, Penelope lowered her voice and turned to business. "Amanda, what about the matter I mentioned last time?"She was referring, of course, to Liam. Their plan to crush Jacklyn's career could be said to have failed. They could only try to tear apart her love life now.Amanda stirred her coffee, her smile unreadable. "Of course!" She gave a confident look. "The woman I found has some background. You've heard of the Astor family of Swanford, right? They were considered wealthy, but they nearly wen
