Chapter 72

作者: Gathered Light
Penelope returned to the Stinson residence and dug through Rebecca's drawer to find Lydia's contact information.

She quickly arranged a meeting with her, using bearing a Lloyd grandson as the reason.

That afternoon, Penelope arrived early at the coffee shop. Just thinking about how she was going to replace Jacklyn very soon put her in high spirits.

Lydia wanted a grandson so much, she would surely help her secure the title of Mrs. Lloyd. After all, the baby she was carrying would be the first grandson in the Lloyd family.

Just as those thoughts ran through her mind, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a stifling gaze. It weighed so heavily on her, it felt like there was a boulder sitting on her chest.

"Penelope Stinson?" Lydia asked, her eyes narrowed. Her gaze then fell on her tummy. "You?"

Knowing she wouldn't believe her, Penelope hurriedly pulled out a few documents. She extended her hand and handed them over.

"These are the latest prenatal checkup reports. Gene was the

    Jacklyn looked up through her long lashes. "But it can't be bought in my name. I'm worried Eugene will become suspicious."Before she completely broke away from the Lloyd family, she had to be cautious about how she did things. Otherwise, with how Eugene was, if he noticed that something was off, he would certainly not let her go.Liam didn't ask her why and only nodded. "Alright. I'll contact you once I have news."After he left, Jacklyn stared at her phone off to the side, thinking whether she should be doing something.The more turbulent things were at Lloyd Group, the less attention Eugene would pay her. That would give her more time and space to move the things that belonged to her away. Just as she was considering this, her phone rang.Jacklyn looked over. When she saw Irene's name flashing on the lit screen, the sharpness in her brows eased.Her slender fingers swiped across the screen, and her clear voice sounded, "Irene, I'm heading over there right now."Last night

    Running a construction site needed money, but halting work only burned through even more. Not to mention, it would delay the overall timeline and could cause real trouble down the road.Just thinking about it gave Eugene a splitting headache. He gripped his phone tightly and demanded, "Frank, explain to me carefully—what on earth is going on? You were the one who sourced this batch of materials. Why the heck didn't they pass the quality inspection?"Their partnership was built on mutual benefit. Most of the materials used for the current construction project had been purchased from Frank. He had never expected there to be problems with the shipment of materials, especially not quality so poor that it would fail inspection.Frank was just as bewildered on his end. "This shouldn't have happened. I've already made arrangements with the necessary parties for the shipment, so there shouldn't have been a random inspection. Someone must've reported it!"Eugene clenched his jaw in fury.

    Amanda was stunned to hear Penelope say this. "Have you lost your mind? You know you're still bleeding, and you want to leave the hospital? What if something happens to you when you're at home?"Penelope got up from the bed and turned to look at Amanda. "That's exactly what I want—for something to happen to me at home."Amanda wasn't the brightest person, but she could scheme with the best of them. When she heard Penelope say this, she quickly caught on. A knowing smile spread across her face as she pointed at Penelope. "Very smart of you, Penelope."She then grabbed Penelope's wallet and rushed to start the discharge paperwork for her.Less than an hour later, the two women were already back at Penelope's place. Getting home had taken a toll on her, and Penelope's already frail-looking complexion only looked worse now, looking frighteningly ashen.Amanda helped her lie down. When she saw how deathly pale Penelope looked, she started panicking, and even her voice started tremb

    A ball of frustration lodged itself in Lydia's throat. She wanted to clear everything up, but Eugene wouldn't let her.She didn't mention Penelope again, but she still let out a cold scoff. "Even without what happened to Penelope, Jacklyn still isn't worthy of being our family's daughter-in-law."She glared at Jacklyn and enunciated her next words carefully, "The Lloyd family does not accept a daughter-in-law who's clearly married but still out frolicking with other men."Don't think I don't know. My people have seen you out with other men more than once."She turned around to look at Eugene and deliberately raised her voice, "And coming home so late tonight, but claiming it's because of work? I bet you were just out on a date with another man."Lydia's words undoubtedly added more fuel to Eugene's growing suspicion. He forced his anger down and asked, "Jackie, tell me—is that true?"Jacklyn furrowed her brows, exhaustion seeping into her bones.She couldn't be bothered to exp

    Lydia gritted her teeth and cursed, "She just can't stand to see the Lloyd family do well. What a venomous, vicious woman!"She was already critical of Jacklyn, and the events of the day only made her hate her even more. She wanted nothing more than for Eugene to divorce Jacklyn right away.A smug smile crept across Penelope's face, hidden under the blanket, as she listened to Lydia curse Jacklyn.As long as Lydia hated Jacklyn, it would only be a matter of time before she became Mrs. Lloyd.Lydia went again to confirm with the nurse that the baby was indeed safe before taking off.She didn't go straight home and instead went to Lloyd Manor. When she walked in and found that Jacklyn wasn't there, her already sour expression darkened even further."She can't even bear children, and now she even neglects her family?" she hissed to herself.She sat waiting on the couch, her expression stormy. It wasn't until 10:00 pm, and she had nearly dozed off, when Jacklyn finally returned.Se

    As soon as Jacklyn got closer, Liam caught a faint whiff of disinfectant. His brows furrowed slightly as he wondered whether she had been to the hospital."I've already gotten the sketch ready. It's inside…" Jacklyn said as she moved to open the door.Liam said softly, "No rush. What happened?"She explained the events of the morning while opening the door. By the time she finished, both were already sitting on the couch inside. Jacklyn sighed. "It got in the way of me submitting my sketch to Robertson Group.""I can bring it back myself."Right then, Eugene popped into her mind. "Have you looked into your cousin's matters?"Liam didn't hide anything. He gave a nod and said, "Yes, it's all sorted out now. Based on their progress, things should be coming to a head soon."Jacklyn blinked, thinking she had heard wrong. "So, you stopped them?""No. They're about to succeed soon."She was taken aback by this. "Succeed? Aren't you supposed to prevent them from doing something to y
