Eugene told himself that even though Jacklyn wasn't suspicious of him, the truth wouldn't hold up under close scrutiny either. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Things have been busy at work lately, and you went to bed early. Maybe that's how we missed each other."He reached out and gently took her wrist, his dark eyes filled with hope as he looked at her. "There's an easy solution if you want to see me every night, Jackie. Why don't you move back into the master bedroom?"Just hearing the suggestion made Jacklyn feel nauseated. Last night, shortly after Eugene had left Lloyd Group, Kacey had called to tell her that Penelope had shown up there again. Thus, it didn't take much to figure out that Eugene had spent the night with her.If it weren't for the fact that it still wasn't time for her to confront him head-on, Jacklyn wasn't sure she could keep up the act any longer."What do you think, Jackie?" Eugene asked, one eyebrow raised as he gazed at her with deep affection.She d

Kacey gave it some careful thought before shaking her head. "My job doesn't require direct interaction with him, so the only thing I know is that Mr. Lloyd seems to really trust him.""Someone Eugene trusts…" Jacklyn murmured to herself. Frowning, she briefly explained to Kacey what had happened earlier in Eugene's office. Even Kacey could sense something was off. "You want me to look into Quentin?" she asked, her brows furrowed. Jacklyn shook her head. "That's not necessary. Just help me keep an eye on them. Since all of Eugene's business goes through you, something is bound to surface without you even deliberately digging."Kacey nodded without hesitation. "Okay."She had helped Jacklyn in the beginning because she couldn't stand how disgusting Eugene and Penelope were being with their cheating, but now, the presence Jacklyn radiated had earned her respect.…After Jacklyn left, Quentin immediately reported his findings to Eugene. The most important piece of information wa

Jacklyn gave a faint smile, finding those words painfully ironic. She couldn't understand how Eugene could repeatedly cheat on her yet still act as if he were so devotedly in love with her at the same time. Just as he was about to start spewing more nauseating words, Jacklyn cut in, "Gene, the most important thing right now is that if those photos leak, the uproar won't be any smaller than last time, and it'll definitely impact Lloyd Group."Eugene hurriedly nodded. "I know. I'll be more careful from now on. Thank goodness you're smart and understanding, Jackie, and you didn't get fooled. Otherwise, I'd really have no way to explain myself."She gave him a smile but couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation. "This needs to be taken care of immediately. I'll leave these for you."Then, she headed upstairs to her room and straight for the desk. She pulled open the drawer, and photo after photo of Eugene and Penelope in each other's arms, kissing, came into view. She took

Penelope's tears streamed down her face, looking especially heartbreaking, but Eugene only looked with indifference."Jacklyn is my wife. Have you still not figured out your place? Penelope, if it weren't for the child, I would've dealt with you long ago for everything you've done."In the past, Eugene would've tried to coax her to stop crying, but now, he wasn't even bothered. She stared at the man standing in front of her in shock, her heart shattering. "Gene, how can you say something like that?"Eugene loosened his grip on her chin, his dark eyes thick with warning. "I hope this is the last time. Otherwise, not even the baby will save you."When he left, the room fell into an oppressive silence. Fear made her knees buckle, and she dropped to the floor with a dull thud. Penelope knew he wasn't bluffing. …In the meantime, over at Lloyd Manor, Jacklyn had just set the watering can down and stepped out of the greenhouse when she received a call from Irene. "Jackie, you sh

"Whose fault is it that we've never gone on that trip you talked about?" Jacklyn shot back.Her cool, indifferent tone made Eugene's expression falter. It was him—he hadn't had the time, so they hadn't gone on the trip.He knew he was to blame, so he apologized, feeling guilty, "Jackie, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not following through on my promise."But not only is this a rare opportunity, but we'll get a lot of alone time together, too. Jackie, I can't even remember the last time I went on a date with you." He coaxed and pleaded, looking as if he wouldn't stop until she gave in.Jacklyn rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on because of his persistence. She forced her frustration down and answered, "Fine. Whatever you say."Eugene immediately leaped to his feet, gripping her hands tightly. "I'll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon for boarding."…The next day, Eugene picked Jacklyn up at the agreed-upon time. 40 minutes later, the car pulled up to the docks
