Now that Lydia had said all that out loud, what was Eugene going to think?Penelope's expression fell as she explained, "Noah is the one who likes acting. I've been doing everything I can to support him, and now, it's suddenly all my fault? Besides, was I the one who wanted him to go missing? Why are you just pinning all the blame on me?"Having been called out in front of everyone made Lydia's expression grow even darker. She shot Penelope a vicious glare as she snapped, "You call yourself a mother? You don't know how to care for your child, and now you have the nerve to stand here and say that everything you did was for him? "Where was all this concern when Noah was injured before, huh?"Penelope stopped her search and was just about to argue back when Eugene, unable to hold it back any longer, yelled, "Enough! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Stop arguing and look for the kids!"Lydia was concerned about Noah, so, though furious, she turned around and continued to focu

"No. The children's safety comes first. Doing that would just be sending them to their deaths. If those two men even sense something's off… I'm not about to let my child's life be cut this short," Jacklyn snapped as she turned and locked eyes with Eugene."That's right. The most important thing right now is to ensure their safety. Please calm down," Ian added.Even though he was incredibly worried about Lucy, he couldn't afford to let it show. If it weren't for Penelope, he would have taken Lucy away a long time ago, and none of this would have happened to her.Romy understood why Ian was saying that, but she didn't have the energy to care about it right now. She slumped into a chair, her shoulders hunched, and her disheveled hair made her look even more exhausted.The office fell into a brief silence.Even Eugene, who had been insisting they charge in headfirst earlier, had fallen silent. He was puzzled as to why Ian was so concerned about the kids. Despite Ian trying his best to

"Uncle Liam, I was really brave," Theodore said with a proud smile, trying to ease both Jacklyn's and Liam's worries.Hearing that, both adults smiled, but behind their smiles was a deep heartache for what Theodore had gone through."Uncle Liam, are we letting those two bad guys just walk away with the money?" Theodore asked, confusion clearly written across his face."Don't worry, Theo. Your mother and I, as well as Lucy's and Noah's parents, have already spoken with the police. They might even be in police custody already. As for the money, we'll get it back soon," Liam said as he ruffled Theodore's hair."I knew you and Mommy wouldn't let bad guys get away with the money.""Of course not, Theo. I won't let the people who hurt you get away that easily," Jacklyn thought.Jacklyn watched Liam and Theodore with a soft smile. Beneath her contentment lay a mother's sharp clarity.The three of them got into the car and drove off.Meanwhile, the other parents were also hovering anxi

Ian stood silently to the side, watching coldly.A woman as venomous as Penelope didn't deserve any pity. If it weren't for Lucy, he wouldn't even spare a sliver of emotion for her. He turned and headed back into the room.By then, Eugene had stopped kicking. Taking a deep breath, he straightened his clothes and walked off with fury coursing through him.Only Penelope was left behind, crumpled pathetically on the cold hospital floor. Tears of resentment streamed down her face—resentment toward Jacklyn. If it weren't for her, Eugene's body and soul would have belonged to her and her alone. Things would never have turned out this way.Penelope's anguished scream echoed down the hallway."Penelope," someone called out."It's that bitch!" Penelope seethed to herself.She forced herself to stand up. "What are you doing here? Are you happy to see me like this? Did you come to gloat?""I'm not as vile as you. Look at you right now. You look a complete mess—a far cry from the Mrs. Lloy

"Well, I almost cried!" Theodore answered.Belle burst out in laughter, practically doubled over.Jacklyn came over with a glass of water in hand, and she couldn't help laughing along as she saw the scene in front of her."Here. Have some water." She placed the glass on the coffee table as Belle set Theodore down."Theo, I have something I need to talk to your mom about. You go play by yourself for a while, okay?""Okay!" Theodore answered before his little legs carried him into his bedroom.Jacklyn sat down next to Belle."Was this Penelope's doing?" Belle asked, her expression returning to its usual serious self as she took a sip of water.Jacklyn shook her head. "No, because Noah was kidnapped, too. If Penelope dared to use him as leverage, then she might as well kiss her dream of becoming Mrs. Lloyd goodbye," she said with a shrug."Okay. Now, down to business," Belle said, her eyes lighting up with sharp intensity.This puzzled Jacklyn. "Just spit it out.""Alright…" Be
