Chapter 588

Author: Gathered Light
They went to the lounge together.

Theodore could not sit still, bouncing around even while perched on the couch. He chattered endlessly about all the things Liam had taken him to do that day and the gifts he had received.

"Mommy, look! This is the car Uncle Liam bought me. It's got a red body, blue eyes, and even a pair of really cool wings!" Theodore was still rambling on when Jacklyn pulled him into her arms.

Jacklyn teased, "Then, can you give it to me? I think it looks wonderful too."

"No way! Uncle Liam prepared a gift for Mommy, too. I discovered it first, and only then did he say he would take me to pick one out as well."

At that, Jacklyn turned toward Liam, caught off guard. "What gift?"

Since Theodore had already spoiled the surprise, he no longer tried to hide it. "It's something you'll recognize."

He reached into the gift bag that had carried Theo's toy and drew out an exquisitely made small velvet box in deep blue.

"Open it," Liam urged, sliding it toward her. He w

    "Come in." Eugene glanced up, then returned to his work. "If this has nothing to do with Noah, you can leave right now."Penelope had barely stepped through the door before the words hit her in the face. Still, that did not stop her from pressing forward shamelessly. "Gene, after all this time, are you still angry at me?""You think far too highly of yourself," Eugene said coolly."Then, tell me what I should do for us to reconcile." Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. With both hands folded before her, she lowered her head in the same way she had done last time."Reconcile?" Eugene arched a brow, slamming his laptop shut. He said bluntly, "The only reconciliation that exists is between me and Jackie. Between me and you, there is nothing."His disgust was plain. Penelope was not the mother of his child, and she felt nothing for her either. They were not even married. What was there to reconcile for?Penelope had expected him to turn her down, but she believed that persistence

    Unlike her earlier attempts to win pity, this time, Harriet was genuinely sincere.Jacklyn's heart softened at that. After all, Harriet was still just a young woman."Stop doing those lewd streams. Have you considered promoting products through streams instead? I could help you with that."Harriet lifted her head as if she had glimpsed her ray of light. A rush of gratitude welled up in her chest. "Thank you, Jacklyn. Thank you." She was already a sobbing mess.All her life, she had rarely been treated with true kindness. The only exception was Jacklyn, who, despite not being related to her at all, had stepped in again and again to help. Most likely, even the web drama roles last time had been Jacklyn asking Irene to pull strings. Yet, she had assumed it was their way to mock her.Now, in her lowest moment, she understood the saying now. A friend in need was a friend indeed. Jacklyn did not linger around. She offered a few words of comfort and left.…Back at the apartment,

    Jacklyn sat in silence for a long moment, her gaze steady on the screen. Across from her, Liam sat just as long without a word.When he saw her expression grow heavier by the minute, he suggested, "Do you want to go see her?""Alright," Jacklyn answered absently. She closed her phone and prepared to leave with him.…At 9:00 pm, Jacklyn stood inside the elevator of the building where Harriet rented a room. She could no longer turn a blind eye when it came to matters concerning Harriet.She had asked Liam to wait downstairs. She considered the possibility that Harriet might be in a disheveled state, seeing how she had just returned from the police station. What woman would want to be seen like that by others?That was why she came up alone.When the elevator doors slid open, Jacklyn found the apartment number and rang the doorbell with a conflicted expression.After several seconds, no response came.Inside, Harriet had heard it, but she was in no condition to face anyone. He

    The calls that kept coming in were all from low-budget web drama crews, offering minor parts at best. To Harriet, that was nothing but an insult.It was way better to stay put in her apartment and do her own thing. There was no need to run around on set, and the pay was better, too.…"I'm so sorry. I apologize on her behalf. I'm truly sorry." For what felt like the hundredth time, Irene was forced to say the same line. All the directors passed along Harriet's nasty outbursts word for word. Even if they were directors from tiny productions, Irene never dismissed them. She kept her tone polite and apologized again and again.Once the calls ended, all the anger the directors had boiled within her instead.Just then, Jacklyn walked out of the bathroom, face still damp from washing. Seeing Irene's dark expression, she asked, "Why do you look so upset? Who got to you?""It's Harriet! You wouldn't believe how ungrateful she is. She turned down every offer, saying she was too good for

    In a way, it was Jacklyn who had forced Harriet into this corner. But more than anything, it was Harriet's own doing.Out of a reluctant sense of pity for another woman, Jacklyn wavered for days before deciding to quietly lend a hand."Irene, could you reach out to a few small-time directors for me? See if they can give Harriet a chance?" she asked.Irene, surprised at her change of heart so soon, scooted over with a teasing grin. "What's this? Forgiving her already? Didn't you say you gave up on her?"They exchanged a smile. "Like you said, it was better than her being some lewd streamer." Jacklyn shrugged.Irene did not press further. She pulled out her phone and started contacting the directors she knew.When a top agent called, the directors agreed to her request instantly. Especially when she was recommending someone controversial who already carried buzz. Low-budget web dramas thrived on traffic. Whether good or bad did not matter. What mattered was pulling in viewers.
