Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares Chapter 582
Jacklyn let out a quiet sigh. "If things could just stay the way they are now, it wouldn't be so bad. You take care of Lucy every day, and Ian comes by often to help. He provides the expenses, and Lucy has her own earnings. "With this kind of life, you all will be happy. Lucy would be able to experience both a mother's love and a father's love."She paused, thinking of Penelope, then added, "What worries me is that Penelope might try to use Lucy against you. You know what she's like. There's nothing she won't stoop to. If she can exploit her own mother, she'll certainly exploit a daughter she feels no affection for.""Don't worry," Ian's voice came from behind.Both women turned to him. He went on, "I'll keep a lookout on Penelope. Protecting Lucy is my responsibility. I won't give her a single chance to get close.""If you ever need help, call me," Jacklyn said plainly.After all these years of crossing swords with Penelope, she had more than enough experience on how to deal wi

The more someone lost control, the less Jacklyn wanted to waste words on them."It's all your fault! You can still rebuild your studio even if it burns down. But me? I don't even have a place to live now that my house is gone!" Penelope's hands clenched tight as her voice rose.She finished shouting and raised her hand, ready to slap Jacklyn across the face. Suddenly, a small figure darted out. Pain shot up her leg.Penelope cried out, jerking her hand back and glaring at the stinging spot."Theo, come here." A flicker of alarm crossed Jacklyn's face.If Penelope wanted to strike her, she could fight back. But Theodore was still just a child. If Penelope lost control, she might just lash out at him."You little brat!"If only she had moved faster, then she could have taught him a lesson right then."Penelope, if you keep this up, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jacklyn gathered Theodore in her arms, her voice cold with warning. "We'll see. This isn't over." Penelope flu

With that in mind, all of Penelope's bluster drained. Deep down, she was already starting to believe what the woman had said.The woman across from her let out a mocking chuckle. With deliberate ease, she pulled a property deed from her purse, opened it, and slid it across the table. "Ms. Stinson, take a good look. This is what the real deed looks like."She then flipped open Penelope's copy for comparison, pointing at the seal. "See this? The details on them are nothing like mine."Her sharp, confident tone left Penelope shaken. The truth was already clear, and she had no way to refute it."Ms. Stinson, I'm not the kind of person who goes around finding trouble. The person who sold you this place wasn't even the owner. They had no right to sell my property," the woman continued, reclaiming the air as the rightful owner. "I understand you were tricked. So here's the deal. I'll give you two days to move out of my property.""But I've already signed the contract! Look!" Penelope p

When the time came, Amanda would willingly shoulder the blame. All it cost was a bit of money. It was neither much nor little for Penelope. So, why not?…In Jacklyn's apartment, it was Irene who first heard the news of Amanda being bailed out. A faint crease of worry clouded her eyes."Jacklyn, aren't you anxious?"Beside her, Jacklyn was holding her laptop, busy at work. "Not anxious. Not surprised either."Her tone made it clear she already had a plan for dealing with Penelope and Amanda."An eye for an eye?" Irene asked, her worry turning quickly into confusion. "Are you planning to set a fire of your own?""Yes. An eye for an eye." Jacklyn nodded. It was exactly what she had in mind. She met Irene's gaze and explained, "No fire. I did find out Penelope recently acquired a property under her name, though. Good location with a cheap price. That alone sounds suspicious."Her eyes glinted with the same thrill a predator showed when it had locked onto prey."Suspicious? Want

At the police station, given Amanda's firm stance, Jacklyn and Liam couldn't just force a confession. They followed procedure, filed a report, and left her to sort things out with the police. The night passed without Amanda daring to close her eyes."Officer, I only lost my head because of that matter. Please, look at how cooperative I've been and go easy on me." Amanda dabbed at her tears with tissues, hoping for sympathy."Amanda!" It was Penelope's voice. A rush of relief surged through her. As expected, she looked up and saw Penelope.Behind her trailed a police officer, yet unlike Amanda, Penelope's face showed not a flicker of panic. The officer exchanged a quick word with the one by Amanda's side, then waved her off with a casual gesture.Amanda rose at once, steady and composed, and slipped away with Penelope.The reason things had gone so smoothly was that Penelope had shamelessly gone to beg Eugene for help. She only said a close friend had gotten into trouble for a

Inside, Amanda was thrilled. She assumed they would never find a shred of evidence to tie that matter to her. "If anyone's an expert in framing people, it would be you, Ms. Scott," Liam's voice cut coldly from the side."What are you implying?"At that, Amanda's body tensed. Her mind raced back to the tactics she had used on that matter. Two, to be exact.The first was hiring a man to set the fire. The second was the bank transfer afterward.Jacklyn stepped forward, her tone calm and unhurried. "You know very well."Then, in an even voice, she continued, "James, who set the fire and fled out of Swanford, destroyed the surveillance. There's also the bank transfer. And… 20,000 dollars in cash. Am I right?"With each detail Jacklyn laid out, images flashed through Amanda's mind like a movie. Her eyes betrayed panic, as she was stunned at how they could possibly know.She had been so careful and cautious."There's no such thing as a flawless crime, Amanda." Jacklyn had already gu
