Chapter 89

Author: Gathered Light
The piece had caught a lot of attention, but the price had shot through the roof. Still, Amanda kept nudging Penelope to buy it. The problem was that, after losing everything in the gemstone gamble last time and failing to get a single cent out of Eugene just now, Penelope was flat broke.

Even so, giving Lydia a proper gift was her best shot at getting her foot in the door.

She gritted her teeth, went home to get an expensive piece of jewelry, and had Amanda sell it so she could buy the antique.

Meanwhile, the week had passed, and Jacklyn showed up at Robertson Group as promised, design in hand.

Passing by Liam's office, she hesitated for a moment, then decided to step in. She had sold off all her Lloyd Group shares, and he should probably hear it from her directly.

She knocked gently. "Liam."

The frown on Liam's face instantly relaxed when he heard her voice. His gaze landed on the rolled-up designs in her hand, and he immediately understood.

Jacklyn noticed and lifted the f

    Lucy was scared stiff. She clung to Romy, her eyes wide with panic.But Eugene seemed oblivious, or perhaps he simply didn't care. He kept reaching for Lucy, trying to wrest her away from Romy.Romy's heart went out to her. She wasn't about to let him take Lucy. She stood her ground, shielding Lucy with her body, and snapped at him, "Eugene! You have no right to take her!"A mother protecting her child could find a strength she never knew she had, even when she knew she was up against a wall.Eugene's face went dark, his eyes blazing with fury as he spoke through a clenched jaw, "Lucy is my daughter. What the hell do you mean I don't have the right to take her?"When it comes to who has the right to speak, Romy, you're the one with the least say."His narrowed eyes bored a hole through her, every word dripping with dominance. "You're just the woman who raised her."Romy recoiled, her face turning ashen. If Eugene truly were Lucy's biological father, she'd have no leg to stand on

    Eugene's face clouded over, but just as quickly, the storm passed.Was Jacklyn really trying to drive a wedge between him and Penelope?He cast his eyes downward, unable to stop a smirk from forming.Could it be that Jacklyn still had feelings for him?…Romy was halfway through her meal when the thought of Ian suddenly hit her like a ton of bricks, leaving a sour taste in her mouth.She leaned forward and asked, "Jacklyn, Ian and Lucy…"Jacklyn took a sip of her drink before replying, "It's just as you figured. Lucy is most likely Ian's kid. I had my suspicions before, but Ian's intense reaction pretty much confirmed it now."Romy's mouth hung open. "Lucy could be Ian's kid? Is it what I think it is?"Jacklyn nodded. "Most likely, yeah."Just then, Liam cut in, "If you're so curious, I can get to the bottom of it for you."Romy turned to him, baffled. "Get to the bottom of it? How?""We can run a paternity test on Lucy and Ian. We'd have the results in no time."Romy's fa

    Ian said coldly, "Penelope, ever since you entered the entertainment industry, every opportunity and resource you have had came from me. What exactly have the Lloyds ever done for you?"He let out a scoff before continuing, "You keep clinging to Eugene, and yet he still hasn't married you even now. So what difference will it make exactly?"His icy mockery was like blades that stabbed directly into Penelope's heart."As long as Jacklyn doesn't go back to the Lloyds, then Lloyd Manor will still be mine. So, Ian, you have to help me.""You're delusional."He stood up and stared straight at her as he warned, "I don't care about your issues with Jacklyn. The only important thing now is my child. Hurry up and arrange a paternity test between Lucy and me. If she really is my daughter, you'd better not interfere."Penelope had known Ian for many years now, so she knew his temperament. Those words of his were his last warning, and if she didn't heed them, he would definitely take action.

    Romy was stunned to see Ian."You're Ian Slew? The movie star Ian Slew?"Ian didn't respond and shifted his gaze to Lucy.When Romy noticed his less-than-friendly gaze, she instinctively pulled Lucy behind her. The small movement didn't escape Ian. Only then did he turn to look at Romy."I'm here to see the child. She needs to get a paternity test!"Due to his public figure status, Ian didn't explain too much.At first, Romy assumed that Ian was someone sent by Penelope and that Lucy would be taken back to the Lloyds. But Lucy didn't want that, and Romy didn't want to force her.So, Romy shook her head, saying, "No. You can't take Lucy."Ian had already waited long enough. His expression darkened, and with a wave of his hands, the bodyguards who had been standing nearby started closing in, clearly looking like they were going to take the child by force.Right then, Jacklyn, who had arranged to meet with Romy, arrived. Frowning, she asked, "Even if a paternity test needs to be

    Jacklyn couldn't be bothered to deal with Penelope. She just ignored her and walked right past. As she approached Liam, she heard him say, "Delete all the malicious comments deliberately smearing her, as well as the ones that aren't related to the show."Liam's people moved quickly, and before long, the PR bots that Eugene had hired Quentin to deploy had all been removed.Just as Eugene, seething with frustration, ordered Quentin to find more PR bots to flood the comments, he received a single reply—all the accounts they had been using were banned.With Eugene not being able to cause more trouble, the comments section gradually returned to normal, and viewers' attention shifted back to the children.Soon, the filming ended, and the livestream was turned off.…Theodore, who was already wildly popular, was once again thrust into the limelight.Penelope stomped her foot in rage when she saw that Theodore had stolen Noah's opportunity. Turning off the TV, her fierce eyes fell on No

    Jacklyn led Theodore, who had been wiped clean and changed into dry clothes, out of the van. She happened to catch Penelope's comment about Theodore being a schemer, and she frowned."Your biological daughter nearly drowned, and not only are you not concerned about her, but you're standing here running your mouth? You really are heartless, Penelope."Penelope didn't feel ashamed at all. She met Jacklyn's gaze head-on and said dismissively, "I don't have such a troublesome daughter. Ever since she's been on the show, she's either fallen sick or fallen into rivers. What a bad luck magnet."Just thinking about the fact that Lucy was a girl made Penelope's insides burn with rage and resentment. She shot a glare at Lucy, who was behind Jacklyn."If she had been a boy, I wouldn't have ended up all miserable like this!"The remark was absurd—as if she really could've married into the Lloyd family if Lucy had just been a boy."What are you laughing at?" she snapped, irritated by Jacklyn
