Chapter 655

Penulis: Gathered Light
"I don't like robots anymore. I like the gift Mr. Jarrett gave me," Theodore said, clutching his toy car as he turned his back on Liam, refusing to even look at him while speaking.

"Theodore, you're being incredibly rude. Whether or not you like the gift someone brought you, you should still have basic manners. What are you doing by tossing the present aside? Is that what I taught you?" Jacklyn scolded.

She had been standing to the side watching their interaction, certainly not expecting Theodore to behave that way. It was impossible not to be angry.

Her scolding tunneled into Theodore's ears, making him both angry and hurt. His little hands pushed against the floor as he stood up and looked up at Jacklyn.

"I don't like Uncle Liam anymore! I've already told you that, so why do you let him come here with gifts?" he asked in frustration, tears streaming down his face.

Jacklyn couldn't bring herself to scold him further upon seeing him cry like that. She just stood there, fists clenc

    But of course, Belle knew. The brutal and horrific fallout was still fresh in her mind. However, when she thought about how everything she was doing was for Jacklyn, she no longer felt any fear. Eugene couldn't possibly kill her, after all.Eugene grew even more intrigued when he saw how completely unafraid Belle looked. "She left because I found out she was someone else's spy. Who knows how many things she did under my nose that damaged Lloyd Group's interests over the years? "So, I gave her a good beating. Her nose and mouth were bruised and bleeding, and it was difficult for her to even speak. Then, I fired her. I don't tolerate betrayal."The message in his words was clear—whoever betrayed him would pay a heavy price.Belle naturally understood his warning. She knew how ruthless and cunning Eugene could be, so she knew better than to say anything to provoke him. Instead, she played along. "That secretary got what she deserved. I'm not her.""I hope you're true to your word. D

    Jacklyn, in a rare show of gentleness, nuzzled against Liam's shoulder. "Thank you, Liam. Theo is just afraid that I'll get hurt. Thank you for not holding it against him, and thank you for always being there for both of us.""Since you put it that way, I guess I'll need to carve out more time to spend with the kid. Otherwise, how will I ever marry you?" Liam teased with a mock complaint, making Jacklyn giggle."That won't do. Robertson Group is more important. You can't throw away your empire over a pretty face," Jacklyn said, patting him on the chest."So you know you're a pretty face?" Liam teased, deliberately sidestepping her comment and trying to make her laugh."Ha! Stop joking around. I'm serious. I'll talk Theo through this slowly. You just have to focus on your work and drop by when you have the time," she said, tilting her head up and looking at him.Liam sneaked a quick kiss on the top of her head. "Alright. We'll help him through this together," he said, the heaviness

    "Mr. Robertson, the company's recent operations in the domestic market have been progressing smoothly with no major issues. Despite the recent backlash the company faced, our revenue this quarter remained on par with the previous quarter. All things considered, everything is going pretty well."A man in a sharp suit, with a folder in hand, was reporting the results to Liam, seemingly satisfied with them."So, that means there are problems with our business overseas?" Liam asked without even looking up, pinpointing the crux of the matter."Um… well…" The man hesitated, clearly struggling to respond. Liam picked up the phone on his desk and said, "Come to my office."Moments later, Vince Lindell walked into Liam's office, standing up straight and with a professional and practiced smile on his face. "What do you need, Mr. Robertson?""What's going on with our overseas operations lately?" Liam asked while sorting through the documents on his desk."Our overseas business has indeed

    With no other choice, Jacklyn let out a soft sigh. "I'll accept the gift, but please remember—I'm your boss. It's not appropriate if too many material items are exchanged between us. You can just leave it there."She didn't look at Asher again and simply reopened the folder in her hand, continuing to look through the documents. She didn't take the incense from him either, merely instructing him to set it down and leave.Her distant attitude inevitably made Asher's confidence falter, but if he pressed further now, he was worried Jacklyn would really be upset with him. Thus, he just quietly placed his gift on the table and walked out.Only after a while did Jacklyn glance at the incense.Every time Asher showed up, Jacklyn's thoughts turned to Theodore. His behavior had been off lately. He seemed trapped in a strange cycle of resenting Liam one second and softening his stance toward him the next, unable to shake it off.The one thing she was sure of, however, was that regardless of

    "Your daddy isn't Liam. He's not your real dad—I am!" Eugene growled in a low voice, grabbing Theodore by his shoulders.Hearing Liam's name sparked a reaction in Theodore. He wasn't afraid of Eugene at all, and he turned and looked him right in the eye."My new dad's not him. It's someone new I found for Mommy!"Eugene didn't want his first attempt to reach out to Theodore to end in an argument. Even though Theodore was saying things he didn't want to hear, he couldn't bring himself to scold the boy. Theodore was his flesh and blood, after all, and he hadn't been by his side all these years.For some reason, seeing Theodore angry made his own anger dissolve into heartache. If he hadn't been absent for so many years, Theodore wouldn't even be thinking about looking for a new father.With that thought running through his head, Eugene's expression fell, and he swallowed hard. He let go of Theodore's shoulders before saying, "Can you give me a chance, Theo? I promise I'll be good to
