Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Eugene fixed his eyes on Jacklyn and spoke deliberately, "We're still legally married. That makes you my wife. You have no right to be with Liam, let alone marry him."Liam lowered his gaze, his brows knitting into a deep frown and a dangerous tension rising off him. "You've been apart for five years. That's basically a divorce in every way that matters."Gasps rippled through the crowd."Oh, my gosh! She really is Mrs. Lloyd. She was married and had a kid. And Liam's still into her?""The real question is, who's the father? Eugene or Liam?""There's no way the Robertsons would let a woman like her into their family."The whispers around them swelled.Just hearing the exchange between Eugene and Liam was enough to leave Lara and Gregory fuming. What should've been a joyful birthday banquet had turned into a public spectacle.Gregory was no longer concerned about what Augustine might think. He stormed up, yanked Liam to the side, and clamped a hand around his wrist.Jabbing a f

The filming of "The Legend of Aria" was back in no time, and since Theodore had a guest spot, he showed up to keep the scenes flowing.Once he was done shooting, he had the rest of the time to himself.At five years old, he was curious about everything. He was wandering along the edge of the set when a ball suddenly rolled past him.He looked around, saw it was only familiar crew members, and figured everything was fine.The ball shot across a narrow path and rolled to a stop by the side of the road. Without thinking twice, Theodore ran after it.But the second he stepped near the curb, a black van screeched up beside him. In one quick motion, someone yanked him inside, and the van tore off.By the time Irene looked up from watching the latest scene, Theodore had vanished. She walked around the set, calling out, "Theo?"The filming area wasn't all that large, and Theodore was a thoughtful child. He would always let her know before going anywhere. So at first, she figured he coul

Jacklyn and Eugene had finally come to an understanding. Just as Jacklyn turned to leave through the front door, Penelope's car pulled into the garage.Penelope's expression soured the moment she saw the figure by the entrance. She didn't need to see her face to know it was Jacklyn.Something twisted in her gut. What was Jacklyn doing at Lloyd Manor? Was she here for Eugene? Trying to win him back?Once the doubt crept in, it spread like wildfire.Penelope stormed up and stepped right in Jacklyn's way. Her gaze raked over her before she snapped, "What are you doing here?"Jacklyn's expression went cold, her tone laced with contempt when she answered, "You should ask Eugene."Penelope's eyes shot wide. "I knew it! You came here for Gene!"But Jacklyn had no time for petty arguments. She was far too worried about Theodore to waste words on Penelope. Without another glance, she turned and walked out of Lloyd Manor.The moment she was gone, Penelope's fists clenched. The unease twi

Noah drew back and shook his head. "I can't. Dad said he's only letting you stay in this room, and keeping you in is for your own good."Theodore moved in closer. "Do you actually believe that?"Noah didn't have an answer. Something about the way Eugene was handling things felt off. But what could he do?Theodore leaned in, his face inches from Noah's. "Do you know why your dad brought me here?"Noah shook his head."He wants my mom to move into Lloyd Manor, too. Do you really want a stepmom? And me, taking your dad's attention? What if he stops loving you because of us?"You've heard the saying, right? 'Getting a stepmom is pretty much getting a stepdad, too.'"With every word, Noah felt his chest tighten, panic creeping in like a vice. He shook his head fast. "No. I don't want that. I won't let it happen."Theodore jumped on it. "Right? So, help me sneak out."Noah dropped his gaze. After a long pause, he mumbled, "I'll think of something."…In the end, Jacklyn reached ou

Penelope was on a break between scenes when the proposal video popped up. Her fingers tightened around her phone, knuckles cracking, as she watched Eugene drop to one knee in front of Jacklyn and pull out a ring.How could she not be furious? She had given up so much. Every decision she'd made over the years was carefully thought through.She'd finally carved out a place for herself at Lloyd Manor, and now Eugene was ready to dump her the second Jacklyn showed up.Penelope's eyes burned with resentment, but she knew better than to confront Eugene head-on.Just as she lifted her head and caught sight of Harriet in the distance, someone announced, "We've got the face-off between the second and third female leads coming up."Wardrobe, make sure everything's on point. We can't afford any slip-ups."Penelope's eyes flickered at the words. She stood, slipped off the coat draped over her shoulders, and made her way calmly to Richard's side."Break's over for me, Mr. Burton. Shall we pi
