All Chapters of Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

Penelope looked Cecily up and down with an air of superiority before clicking her tongue twice."Looks like the person Starborne wants to promote isn't that impressive at all."Jacklyn, always protective of her own, shot back coldly, "If Cecily isn't impressive, then it's a miracle that you even managed to find a spot for yourself in the industry.""Jacklyn, it doesn't matter how you belittle me right now. Very soon, I'll be famous—an international superstar. This nobody from Starborne will be nothing compared to me."Hearing this, Jacklyn arched an eyebrow, even more convinced that Rebecca had leaked the documents in her study to Penelope.Chuckling, she shot back, "An international superstar? Let me guess—you asked for Ian's help again?"Penelope's eyes darted around as she turned her head away. "Ian? I've worked hard for everything I have now. What does any of it have to do with Ian?""You worked hard for everything?" Jacklyn repeated with a smile, not bothering to expose the

If Penelope couldn't make it onto the international stage this time, who knew when her next chance would come?She couldn't bear to let it go. Shaking her head, she said, "Ian, you know this is the only chance I have to go global, and you're asking me to refuse it? How can I?"Ian grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him. Staring at Lyle, he asked Penelope, "Do you even know what kind of film he's shooting? Adult films! Are you sure you want to be the lead actress of an erotic movie?"The words hit Penelope like a truck. Erotic movie? Lyle directed adult films?Ian wouldn't lie to her, so the problem must've lain with Jacklyn!Seeing that she had fallen into a daze, Ian released his grip and asked, "Do you still want to do it?"Penelope shook her head. After she exchanged a few words with Lyle, he walked off."Ian, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still not have known," Penelope said as a wave of dread washed over her.She had come so close—not to becoming famous, b

Eugene was surprised at how quickly Belle had gotten her information. Though he remained unreadable on the surface, there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes."Why would I doubt you, Ms. Joyner? I admit it was a mistake on my part not informing you about the investigation beforehand, but it's really just a routine background check."His narrowed eyes suddenly widened as he continued, "If you didn't do anything wrong, Ms. Joyner, then you don't have to worry about such an investigation, right?"He then sat up straighter, propping his chin with both hands, a sharp, probing look forming in his eyes. He had quietly arranged for someone to look into her, and Belle had only just returned from Malapi. Plus, most of her time had been spent abroad on various business trips, so she shouldn't have had the time or energy to keep an eye on him.So, for her to find out about it so quickly, it meant that the person who had been monitoring him had tipped her off.The thought made him clench his

"So? What does that have to do with me?" Ian asked, his face still bearing that same indifferent smile.However, Jacklyn's next words shattered the fake, composed mask he wore, revealing a twisted and terrifying side underneath.Staring him straight in the eyes, she said, word by word, "If you continue to target Starborne, Mr. Slew, I'll build it into the number one company in the industry right under your nose. "And as long as you don't destroy us this time, I'll do everything in my power to phase out every last one of the outdated old-timers."A dangerous smile crept across her face as she spoke.Ian's expression darkened, and he snapped angrily, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare a small company like Starborne—which is new—act so arrogantly in front of me? What? Just because you came back from overseas, you think you own the place?"As Ian continued to seethe in anger, Jacklyn suddenly softened her tone. "I'm well aware of how powerful you are in the industry h

"Since the grocery money could get stolen when it's with you, I'll hand it to Nancy instead. That's a few thousand dollars, and it's not like it just fell from the sky, right?"Rebecca didn't expect to have even that small authority taken away from her, and she was so furious that her jaw was clenched tight.Just then, Jacklyn looked at Rebecca and asked probingly, "But Mom, don't you think that thing with Penelope was a little strange?"Rebecca blinked, confused. "What?""I mean, how would she even have the contact info of a director who films adult movies, and an international one at that?"At the mention, Rebecca only became more enraged. If it weren't for Jacklyn setting her up, she wouldn't have sent those documents—documents she couldn't understand—to Penelope, nearly turning her into a laughingstock.Given how calculating Jacklyn was, Rebecca was even more convinced that she needed to listen to Penelope and find Jacklyn's weakness as soon as possible.…By early fall, th
