Chapter 599

Author: Gathered Light
Jacklyn gathered Theodore into her arms and settled with him on the couch, gently patting his back.

Theodore's head shifted against her shoulder as he asked in a faint voice, "Mommy, is Uncle Liam not going to want us anymore?"

Jacklyn's smile faltered.

"I saw the news at the film set today. They said Uncle Liam was with another woman. There was even a video."

His voice trailed lower and lower, and Jacklyn could feel that something was wrong with his mood.

Her heart ached. She set him down and cupped his soft, round cheeks in both hands.

She reassured him, "Sweetheart, you have to believe in Uncle Liam. He would never abandon us. He was framed. The truth will come out soon."

"Really?" Theodore shouted suddenly, his heart brimming with excitement.

But he also thought that Jacklyn might have been sad. He looked up, clutching her hand resting on his shoulder. "Mommy, if Uncle Liam really doesn't want us, then I'll protect you forever!"

When he finished, he broke into a wide smil

    Jacklyn couldn't help wondering if she'd been too naive. Perhaps this was just who Augustine had always been.Augustine gave a strained smile, though his expression remained unreadable. "Don't hold it against me. The Robertsons are a small family, so blood ties always come first.""Dad, are we having dinner?"Gregory had heard what was going on at Brightwood Estate and rushed over as fast as he could. By the time he got there, he'd caught every word of Jacklyn and Augustine's conversation from across the room.He pulled up a chair beside Jacklyn and settled in. "You're being too harsh, Dad. Jacklyn's just as young as Liam, after all."His words made his position perfectly clear.Augustine's frown deepened, his eyes dark and unreadable.Gregory continued, "I think the child in Bianca's womb still needs to be verified. There's no reason to jump to conclusions."A maid brought him a set of utensils. He pressed his lips into a small, restrained smile, waiting for Augustine's respon

    Augustine said, "Oh, right. You don't come by often, so I made a proper spread. Eat plenty. You'd make me look bad if you didn't.""Thanks. I've been starving all day. I'm going to enjoy every bit," Jacklyn said.Soon, they were both seated at the table. The maid brought over the last pot of simmering soup, and now, everything was laid out before them.Jacklyn ladled a bowl of soup for Augustine and set it in front of him with both hands."No need to worry about me, Jackie," Augustine said, politely refusing her gesture.Jacklyn didn't mind. She just nodded.Once Augustine started eating, she lifted her fork, its handle inlaid with gold, and speared a piece of tender pork rib from her plate.Just as she was about to take a bite, he asked, "Jacklyn, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"His heavy tone froze the atmosphere at the table, making it feel almost colder. Jacklyn stiffened, already guessing what he was about to say.Augustine continued, "You care about your

    Lara said, "I know Liam better than you do. Let me warn you. Stop going after Bianca again. If you do, I'll see to it that you and Theodore disappear for good.""And how exactly would you do that?" Liam shoved the door open, his defiance as fierce as Irene's sharp tongue, which spared no one.Lara's vision swam. She snapped, "Instead of staying at the hospital to care for your own flesh and blood, you come running here to see Jacklyn? Get your head straight, Liam. You're under a spell."She was deeply irritated by a son like Liam, who wouldn't listen to her, as if he were deliberately trying to make her life miserable.He moved slowly to Jacklyn's side, then turned to Lara, his eyes unreadable. "No matter how many times I tell you that child isn't mine, you'll never believe me, will you?"Lara snorted. "You're still the same, too much of a coward to own up to what you've done. You're a disgrace, Liam!"She stormed out, anger still burning in her chest.As she passed the restroom

    After those words left her lips, Bianca broke down sobbing, her throat tight, her shoulders trembling. Sweat clung to her skin, and her whole body flushed hot.Lara had barely sat before she shot back up, hands on her hips as she snapped, "Unbelievable! Who does Jacklyn think she is? Since when does she get a say in the Robertsons' business? The nerve of her!"Forcing her anger down, Lara sat again, brows knitted as she spoke softly to steady Bianca, "Don't let it get to you. She's just a shameless temptress. It's natural for Liam to lose his head for a bit."Give it time. He'll realize the woman who truly matters is you. And more than that, the child you're carrying."Lara gently took Bianca's hand on the hospital bed. "Don't cry, Bianca. I'm here. Do you like Hemera's designer pieces? Tomorrow, I'll have them come by and tailor a few outfits just for you."Next to you, Jacklyn's nothing but an eyesore."Bianca's sobs eased a little. Sniffling, she whispered, "I'm carrying Liam'

    When the reporters stormed into the office, they hesitated for only a second before professional instinct kicked in. They lifted their cameras and started taking pictures.Jacklyn, lying on the floor, instantly realized she'd walked into a setup.As she watched everything unfold, Bianca's cries grew more agonized with each wail, her pain briefly giving way to a barely visible hint of triumph."Ms. Stinson, what did you just do to Ms. Reed? Are you trying to kill her?""Did you push her, or did she fall on her own?""Were you targeting Ms. Reed because of her relationship with Mr. Robertson?"The reporters aimed their microphones at Jacklyn, firing questions even as she struggled with her injuries. Their cameras were trained on Bianca and the pool of blood, clearly ready to turn the story against Jacklyn."Ms. Stinson, can you answer our questions?""Ms. Stinson, please respond."They crouched around Jacklyn, shoving and jostling her, refusing to let her go. She was still disor

    Jacklyn was certain Amanda had stirred the pot, which explained why Bianca had suddenly appeared at Odore, making a scene.Teeth clenched, Bianca burst out desperately, "Anyway, Lara said it herself. I'm carrying a Robertson, so Liam's going to marry me!"That gave Jacklyn her chance. "Why the rush? The baby isn't even here yet. And who says it's really Liam's? Could be some random guy's for all anyone knows."She delivered it lightly, her face calm and unreadable, as though she'd already seen the truth all along.Panic had overtaken Bianca, drowning out any anger. She tripped over her words. "What are you talking about? You're j-just saying that because you're jealous of me."She kept her eyes off Jacklyn, too scared to look and risk the truth showing.Jacklyn scoffed, twirling the pencil between her fingers, her words dripping with mockery. "Why so jumpy, Ms. Reed? When the time comes, a DNA test would prove whether the baby you're carrying is actually Liam's, right?"A DNA te
