All Chapters of Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Jacklyn's eyes narrowed sharply as they locked onto the smug face of Penelope. "How did you know about Irene?"Penelope's eyes glinted as she walked to Jacklyn's. She swirled the wine in her hand slowly and whispered, "You look nervous. No word from Irene, and Kacey vanished. Since you were the one pulling all the strings, of course you would be nervous."For a split second, it felt like Jacklyn was staring at a stranger. It was the first time she had ever heard Penelope speak this way. Jacklyn's eyes turned cold, like the night pressing against the ballroom windows. "Answer me," she demanded.Penelope's smile faded. "We live in the same complex. It isn't that hard." If it had not been for that man's remark—the fact that Jacklyn always showed up at the exact wrong moment—Penelope would never have suspected someone was keeping an eye on her for Jacklyn.Jacklyn took a deep breath, her fists clenched tight at her sides. She had underestimated Penelope, causing Irene to be in a da

Jacklyn lowered her gaze to hide the storm of thoughts swirling in her eyes. She responded with a sweet grin, "I'd be delighted."Since the plan had changed, she had no option but to continue playing the role of Mrs. Lloyd.She walked up the stage with Eugene. As the familiar notes of the birthday song rang out, the crowd gathered around the center.Under everyone's gaze, Jackly and Eugene gripped the knife and cut the cake. As they cut into the five-layered cake, confetti erupted in the sky, flooding the stage with color.Jacklyn's expression darkened somewhat upon hearing the sound.According to her plan, all the evidence was supposed to be projected onto the screen by that moment. The confetti had been meant to celebrate her triumph.However, her plan failed.Eugene's tender voice flowed into her ears as she was lost in thought. "Thank you, honey."Then, Jacklyn felt a sudden warmth on her forehead. She was met with his emotional and surprised gaze when she lifted her head.

"You'd better keep your distance from him," Eugene stated seriously.It was the same words Jacklyn had heard far too many times. She was so sick of it that she didn't even bother explaining anymore.Instead, she smiled and steered the conversation back to the banquet. "The most important thing tonight is the party. People like him don't deserve your attention."When Eugene heard how she dismissed Liam as irrelevant, he was thrilled. He beamed. "Alright. I know you worked hard to organize this evening for me. Don't worry. I won't waste your effort."Unlike Eugene's good mood, Jacklyn felt like a storm cloud hung over her. Still, she forced a smile and said softly, "Okay. I'm going to the restroom now. You should return to the banquet."He nodded and watched as she walked away, disappearing into the crowd.Just as he was about to turn around, a soft hand slid into his and gripped it firmly.Eugene turned in surprise and found Penelope smiling brightly at him. Before his mind could

Penelope propped herself up on the floor, looking disheveled. She suddenly realized how pathetic her current position looked and scrambled to her feet. "You're the real mistress because Eugene doesn't love you!" she spat.Jacklyn raised a brow and scoffed. "Oh? Do you think you are loved?" Her lips curled into a cold smile, and the scorn in her eyes was unmistakable. "If he loves you, why did he hide you under the table?" her cold, sharp voice echoed through the room. Penelope shot back, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to sneak around like this!""Penelope, it seems like you still don't understand that you're the one who came between us. Even if you manage to become his wife, you will always be a mistress.""I know what you're trying to do, and I won't let you succeed!" Penelope said through gritted teeth. As she glared.Jacklyn merely chuckled, turned around, and walked down the corridor until her figure disappeared into the shadows.…By midnight, the banquet was of

Convince Eugene?Penelope's hand, which was holding onto Lydia's, suddenly froze.That wasn't what she wanted."How long do you plan to convince him?" Penelope pulled her hands back, feigning helplessness. "I can't keep speaking well of you in front of Emily forever."Upon hearing this, Lydia frowned. The irritation on her face could no longer be masked. She was tired of Penelope pressing her and snapped, "What do you want?"Penelope rose slowly to her feet. Her gaze darkened, and her voice turned venomous. "If the Lloyd family can't get rid of Jacklyn, I'll just make her disappear."With that, she turned and left. Lydia narrowed her eyes as she watched Penelope walk away. Penelope was far more ruthless than she thought. But as long as it didn't affect the Lloyd family, she had no interest in interfering.…The next day, Jacklyn went to her studio to organize some documents in preparation for her departure.When she turned a corner outside, she noticed a black vehicle in her
