"Did you see the news?" Jacklyn asked, getting straight to the point.Romy opened the door and stepped aside so she could come in."Yeah. I ran another DNA test with Lucy."She stopped by the couch, drew Lucy near, and whispered something to her. Lucy then offered a sweet greeting to Jacklyn before heading off to her room.Once Lucy was gone, Romy's expression turned serious. She let out a heavy sigh."You were right. Lucy isn't my child." Saying it out loud made her chest tighten. "If Lucy isn't mine, then where is my real child?"She was starting to fall apart."Do you want to know where your child is?" Jacklyn asked.Romy looked up at her. "You know where my child is?"Jacklyn pulled out a clear plastic bag containing a soft strand of hair. "You should run another DNA test. This child is most likely yours."Romy froze for a second before taking the bag from her hand.As Romy hesitated, Jacklyn continued, "I'll come back tomorrow. These hospitals stay open late. We could h

Eugene's eyes flew wide. He stared at Jacklyn, stunned. His hands were trembling at his sides, and his lips were quivering. "Jackie?"All the feelings he'd buried for so long surged to the surface, crashing over him like a tidal wave."It's really you! You came back!"He rushed forward and pulled Jacklyn into his arms before she had a chance to react, whispering, "I'm sorry, Jackie. I'm so sorry. I was wrong. You punished me by leaving me behind for five years. Can you come back now?"His voice broke with tears, thick with guilt and regret. He would've paid any price just to see her again. As long as he could hold her like this, as long as she came back, nothing else mattered. "Eugene." Jacklyn shoved him away without a second thought, her expression cold, laced with disgust. "Don't make me sick."She stepped back, creating space between them. Then, she leveled him with a glare as sharp as ice.Eugene stood frozen. "What?" The Jacklyn he remembered had never spoken to him lik

Eugene turned his head, and there was Liam, standing tall with effortless grace. His eyes went wide. Instinctively, he glanced at the security guards by the door.But the men who'd been standing at attention just moments ago were now crumpled on the floor, groaning in pain. Their limbs twisted at grotesque angles.Liam reached out his hand to Jacklyn, his voice soft. "I'm here to take you home."Without a second thought, Jacklyn stepped past Eugene and slipped her hand into Liam's. "Let's go," she said quietly.Eugene knew there was no stopping Liam now.Once they were out of Lloyd Manor and settled in the car, Jacklyn turned to Liam, curiosity flickering in her eyes. "How did you know I was there?"Liam buckled his seatbelt and smiled. "I stopped by the apartment first. Theo told me.""Where's Romy?"Jacklyn leaned forward, peering out the window. Romy was standing by the side of the road. They called her over, and she climbed into the car.…Back at the apartment, the mood

Eugene's eyes lit up with sudden clarity. If Anna were actually Jacklyn, then every hurdle in Lloyd Group's partnership talks could vanish in an instant.He froze mid-step before turning to face her, his eyes blazing. "Jackie, it's been years. Let's leave the past where it belongs. Come back to Lloyd Manor."Jacklyn stared at him, stunned by his nerve. Even now, he wouldn't quit."Are you out of your mind? We're done. Leave now, or I'll have security drag you out."But Eugene stood his ground. He couldn't let her go. He'd lived through the heartbreak of losing her once. He wasn't sure he could survive it a second time."I'm not leaving, Jackie. I know I messed up before. But if you come back to Lloyd Manor, I'll give you everything, even Lloyd Group."Jacklyn scoffed. "Thanks, but I'll pass."Eugene's expression darkened. He stepped forward, hand reaching toward her, just as the door swung open again.Theodore, nestled in Liam's arms, glanced between them, blinking. "Mommy, wha

"This is all your fault! I would've won if you hadn't slammed into me!" Noah snapped.Lucy got up, brushing dirt off her clothes, and shoved him hard. "It was an accident, and I'll apologize, but that doesn't give you the right to push me."Penelope saw Noah get shoved and rushed over, panic rising in her chest. She stepped in front of him and glared at Lucy, her eyes blazing. "How dare you put your hands on him? You're such a rude little brat!"Lucy lowered her head as Penelope scolded her, lips pressed tight in stubborn silence.Romy's heart ached at the sight. She stepped in front of Lucy to shield her. "How can you talk to her like that? You know perfectly well she's your…"She stopped herself, unwilling to drag adult issues into a moment between kids. Lucy might not have been her biological daughter, but that didn't make her any less innocent.Penelope shot her a venomous glare. "What are you going to say? If she weren't a girl, we wouldn't be dealing with all this drama in
