While Eugene was consumed with uncertainty, Jacklyn, on the other hand, enjoyed a great night's sleep.The whirlwind of recent events had caused her many sleepless nights. Now that she had made a decision, she was finally able to relax. After getting out of bed and washing up, she headed downstairs. That was when she received a call from Liam.Robertson Group's design had won an award for its excellence, causing quite the commotion. As a result, the media all turned their attention to Robertson Group, hoping to get both the designer and Liam together for a joint interview. As this involved Jacklyn, Liam hadn't agreed to anything immediately—hence this call. "Jacklyn, do you want to do it?" he asked in a low voice.He completely respected her choice when it came to this. If she wasn't willing, he would instantly decline the interview. "An interview?" Jacklyn thought for a brief moment before nodding. "Sure. We'll do it together."She had been trying to find a way to shift Pe

Jacklyn's gaze turned cold. Eugene had clearly rushed over. Before he could even catch his breath, he anxiously demanded, "Why are you having dinner alone with Liam? And why didn't you tell me?"Jacklyn found his stormy expression—and the way he was struggling to contain his rage—laughable. She and Liam were having dinner in a public place, and they weren't being secretive about it. So what was the issue?He, on the other hand, had shown up less than ten minutes after Penelope spotted them. Did that mean he was having dinner here with Penelope as well?Jacklyn leaned back in her chair, her icy gaze drifting past Eugene and landing on Penelope, who was practically itching to watch the drama unfold. So, that was why Penelope had left without a fuss earlier—she had gone to get Eugene. Raising an eyebrow, Jacklyn asked, "What about you? Why are you and Penelope having dinner here alone?"Eugene angrily let go of the broken glass, snapping, "Penelope and I aren't alone. Ms. Lope

"Jackie, please don't be mad at me. I swear I'll never be that impulsive again," Eugene pleaded. He continued trying to smooth things over for the next ten minutes, but Jacklyn remained silent. He leaned against the door, helpless. After a long stretch of silence, he finally said, his voice hoarse, "Then… good night, Jackie. Sleep well."When Jacklyn heard him move away from the door, she got up and walked over to the window. A stifling sense of heaviness hung over the pitch-black sky outside. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, lighting up most of Lloyd Manor, followed by a loud crash of thunder.Jacklyn had lived here for quite some time, but this was the first time she had really taken such a close look at the estate. She had once believed this was her home, but now, it was a cage she was desperate to escape from. Everything she had worked hard for had turned into a joke the moment Eugene cheated on her.Jacklyn lowered her eyes. She had thought she coul

What a daydream. But Kacey wasn't quite brave enough to say those words out loud in front of Eugene just yet. She gave him a polite, practiced smile and answered, "Mrs. Lloyd has always loved you."Had Jacklyn always loved him?Eugene's unfocused eyes sharpened at her words, and the answer to the question that had been bothering him before suddenly came to him.Of course. Even outsiders could see it clearly, so why couldn't he?If his Jackie didn't love him, why would she agree to try for a baby with him?"Alright. I get it," Eugene said as a smile bloomed across his face—the first since he had stepped into the office that day.He got up, grabbed the meeting minutes, and then strode back to his office. Meanwhile, downstairs, Penelope had just gotten out of a cab. She slung her designer bag over her shoulder and made her way to the CEO's office on the top floor.She was no stranger to Lloyd Group, and no one dared stop her either. She walked right up to the door, but she paus

Penelope chuckled softly as she leaned against Eugene's shoulder. "But I can do a lot of things with you."At her words, Eugene pulled her into his arms. His other hand set the glass down, then lifted her chin as he crashed his mouth onto hers with ferocity. The two were so lost in their kiss that they didn't notice that the closed door suddenly creaked open. A phone, with its camera lens aimed in their direction, captured a flurry of shots of their intimate act. A minute later, the door closed again, as if nothing had ever happened.…The next morning, Eugene woke up with a splitting headache from the hangover. He opened his eyes and massaged his temples. Before he could fully register where he was, a soft moan sounded from beside him. Penelope, naked, pressed herself against him. "You're up early, Gene."Eugene sobered instantly when he heard her voice. Frowning, he shoved her away harshly. "Why didn't you remind me to go home last night?"Penelope, after getting pushed aw
