Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 331 - Bab 340

The nightmarish smile loomed larger and larger in front of Penelope, and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes. She couldn't help but take a step back as she glared at Jacklyn with rising frustration. "Don't kid yourself. Don't think you can take me down just because you've got Liam on your side. "Cecily Schumer is back in Cyrelia now. She's Liam's childhood friend, and she's also the one his mother wants as her daughter-in-law."The Robertsons and the Schumers are going to enter into a marriage alliance. As for you? You'll just be a little bitch that no one wants."Penelope wanted to watch Jacklyn snap and fly off the handle, but as the last word left her lips, the woman standing across from her not only didn't get angry, but her expression also remained nonchalant. "A little bitch that no one wants?" Jacklyn repeated, stepping closer and closer, slowly and deliberately.The intimidating presence she radiated made Penelope's back break out in a cold sweat. "I wonder whether E

"I'm sure I'll be able to earn enough to take care of you soon, Mommy!" Theodore chirped excitedly.Jacklyn looked tenderly at him, happily bouncing around, and warmth filled her heart. "My Theodore is growing up.''…Two days later, Jacklyn brought Theodore to the studio for the photoshoot as per the agreement. When they walked into the studio, the lighting was already being adjusted. The setup for a photoshoot was different from a film set, but thanks to his previous experience, Theodore had grown used to being in front of a camera.Not long after, he changed into the clothes the brand provided and stood under the lights. As the flashes started going off, he struck pose after pose."Kid, you need to lift the skateboard up. The focus should be on the skateboard."Theodore raised the board to his chest as per the instructions. From across the room, Jacklyn could clearly see the brand name, "Junior Shredder", on it. Just as she was about to grab her phone and take a few photos h

Penelope took Noah to a kids' extreme sports park, where there were plenty of spaces for children to try out various extreme sports. They weren't exactly dangerous, but they were thrilling enough for children.Not long after they arrived, a man named Michael Tomlinson delivered a kids' electric dirt bike to them. He said respectfully, "Ms. Penelope, here's the endorsement contract. Please take a look. If there are no issues, you can sign it right now."Michael worked for a company that manufactured kids' dirt bikes, and Ian was the one who had located him.Picking up the pen to sign, Penelope said, "That was fast."Michael nodded eagerly. "Of course. Mr. Slew requested this himself, so we didn't dare drag our feet. Besides, we've been constantly searching for the right child to be our ambassador. It'll be our honor to partner with your son."Michael had a very good attitude, and this pleased Penelope greatly. After signing, he added, "Just one thing—the shoot will naturally incl

It was at that moment that Liam arrived. He knocked on the door, and Irene led him in.Seeing Jacklyn, he handed her a file and explained, "I saw what happened to Theo, so I had people pull an all-nighter to investigate that company."There's an internal division within Junior Shredder. The one who invited Theo to be the ambassador and do a photoshoot is the company's CEO. He wanted to boost sales and increase brand exposure, so this probably has nothing to do with him personally. "But the company's VP—the vice president—is suspicious. He's always wanted to be in control. So if something happens with Theodore's endorsement, then he'll have enough ammo to bring down the one in his way."Liam turned to Jacklyn and added, "Maybe he wanted to gain control, but he didn't expect things to spiral this out of hand."Jacklyn gave this some thought. Though Liam's explanation made sense, she still had a feeling that the vice president wasn't the person behind all of this. But so far, she st

"Penelope?"The name fell so suddenly from Jacklyn's lips that Harold froze for a brief second, and Jacklyn happened to notice this reaction. But just as she was about to press further, Harold's expression turned stern. He waved his hand dismissively and insisted, "I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Stinson. I've already said everything I can say. Pressuring me won't get you anywhere."Jacklyn knew at that point he wasn't going to admit anything. Standing up straight, she stared directly at him and said, "I gave you a chance, and you're the one who didn't want to take it. In that case, don't blame me for what happens next."Harold's eyes turned wary. He prodded tentatively, "You… don't have any proof anyway… right?"Jacklyn smirked before turning around. "And how do you know that I don't?"With that ambiguous statement lingering in the air, she walked off. After she got into the car, through the window, she watched Harold standing rooted to the spot, his expression dark
