Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares의 모든 챕터: 챕터 401 - 챕터 410

Eugene's eyes turned bloodshot, his glare sharp enough to kill.He snapped, "You don't know a damn thing! Jackie and I have been through way too much. How could Liam even come close?"Irene scoffed. "Of course he can't. Who's going to beat a guy who cheated, got two different women pregnant, and ended up with two babies at the same time?"Seriously, where do you even get the balls to ask Jackie to take you back? Just hearing that is gross. I can't even imagine how sick she must be."Eugene was fuming. Without warning, he slapped Irene hard across the face."Shut up!" he bellowed.It all happened so fast. Jacklyn and Liam barely had time to register what was going on before the sharp crack rang through the room.The blow landed hard. Irene's cheek swelled almost instantly. She clenched her jaw against the pain. Then, a thought hit her out of nowhere, and she just crumpled to the floor.Snapping out of her shock, Jacklyn darted to the fridge, grabbed a handful of ice, and pressed

Eugene's expression twitched with impatience. He frowned, his voice turning cold. "So what? Noah's not just yours. He's mine, too. He's a Lloyd. Stop wasting your time, Romy. I'm taking both Noah and Lucy."His pushy, domineering tone made Romy's face go even paler."No. There's nothing for Noah with you."She looked up and stared him down. "I've seen everything about your past online, Eugene. You're not just a jerk. You've got zero morals. I'm not letting Noah grow up around you. He'd end up just like you—someone everyone hates."Romy's words lit a fire in Eugene. His face dropped hard."The Lloyds have power and money. With us, Noah gets the best schools and the best shot at life. He'll be ahead of the curve from day one. And with you? What's he supposed to end up with? A set of useless values?"The only future Noah has is with the Lloyds. Romy, do yourself a favor, walk away while I'm still playing nice."Romy rose to her feet, about to respond.But right outside the cafe wi

Ronan went on, "Harriet's been giving everything she's got since Starborne picked her. When you announced there'd be just one debut spot, she pushed herself even harder, training through the night."And for what? So you could hand it to someone with money and connections?"His voice rose, his whole body trembling with fury. "This is how Starborne treats its trainees, dangling hope in front of them, only to crush it over and over again. Is this whole thing just a scam to bleed them dry with contract penalties?"A sharp glint flickered in Jacklyn's eyes. If that accusation stuck, Starborne Entertainment's reputation would be in ruins.She tried to explain, but before she could finish her words, Ronan suddenly pulled out a bottle of something and sprayed it right in her face.The sharp, eye-watering sting of pepper spray hit the air. Jacklyn's eyes burned so badly that she couldn't even keep them open.Not far off, Liam spotted the bottle through the crowd. His stomach dropped.He

Penelope wasn't thrilled, but she swallowed it. As long as she got a part in a series tied to such a big name, she'd undoubtedly be in the spotlight.…Three days later, Penelope showed up on set right on the dot. As soon as she walked in, she headed straight for the audition room. But before she could go in, someone stopped her."Sorry, Penelope. There are still a few other actors auditioning."She blinked, caught off guard. "What?"The crew member gave her an apologetic look and shook his head. "There are a few final candidates left. Please hold on, Penelope. It won't be long."Penelope was about to lose it. Ever since she got into the industry, everything had been smooth sailing. No matter the project, all it ever took was a word from Ian, and doors flew open. But now, even with him backing her, she still had to audition.She was ready to snap until she spotted a familiar figure in the distance. As soon as she got a clear look, her body tensed."Jacklyn?"Ignoring the crew

The gemstone market was close by, just a few blocks away. The street was packed with antique shops, crammed side by side.Most looked pretty unremarkable at first glance, but even the pieces tucked away in the corners were worth a surprising amount.Jacklyn strolled through the area for a bit. Eventually, a porcelain vase caught her eye in one of the shops. She paid for it, had the shopkeeper wrap it up, and headed back out.She had just stepped off the last stair when the roar of a motorcycle suddenly echoed from the end of the street. Startled, Jacklyn tightened her grip on the velvet box, a flicker of worry crossing her mind.She looked up, and the motorcycle tore past her, missing by inches. A heartbeat later, her foot caught on a loose stone. Still clutching the box, she stumbled and fell onto the pavement.Across the street, Penelope had looked up at the sound of the engine, just in time to see Jacklyn hit the ground. She walked over, looking like she was settling in for som
