Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 591 - Bab 600

From the moment that woman appeared to the door being slammed shut, the whole scene had not even lasted five minutes.When the door closed, Liam stood frozen for several seconds before quickly calling Robertson Group's PR department.…At Odore, Irene burst into Jacklyn's office in a fluster, hair disheveled. "Jacklyn!""What happened?" Jacklyn blinked, puzzled.Irene did not slow down. She hurried straight to the desk, bracing her palms against it as she caught her breath. "Have you seen the news? Did Liam really have a mistress?""That sounds absurd, Irene." Jacklyn frowned in disbelief, taking the phone."Robertson Group's CEO Spotted with Mistress in Solaria." The headline was splashed across Twitter's trending list.Clicking into it, the video showed a half-naked woman clinging to Liam outside a hotel room, and reporters crowded around them, firing questions. Liam denied every word, but the woman kept speaking about their supposed relationship.Online, the tide had alre

Noticing the way Liam was watching her with quiet caution, Jacklyn let out a soft laugh. "I've always been grateful to you, Liam."The words steadied his heart, leaving him a little embarrassed."I knew you'd believe me."Tilting her head, Jacklyn spoke with a half-serious, half-playful air, "Alright, what matters now is finding the truth. I don't know what's going on with Robertson Group's PR department, but last night, Starborne went head-to-head with the people on your behalf."She smiled as if it were nothing. If it were not for the generous overtime she paid, Jacklyn doubted the PR department would have been so willing to rush back to the office at 11:30 pm.Irene continued immediately, "The situation's under control for now. The opinions online have basically split into two. "One group is convinced Liam cheated and is rallying behind you, while the other insists he didn't. They firmly believe it was nothing more than a business ploy, and they're standing firm with you and

"Mom." Liam pushed the door open and walked in, ignoring Bianca as he went straight to his seat.He had been standing outside for a long while. To him, all of Bianca's excuses reeked of ulterior motives."Now you remember to come back?" Lara's voice was sharp. Her every word was edged toward Liam, who had not returned for a long time.Liam countered evenly, "This is my home. Why couldn't I come back?"Lara sneered. "When everything's fine, you never show up, no matter how many times I ask you to come over. But the moment you're in trouble, suddenly, family matters again. "Where's Jacklyn? Isn't she supposed to be so capable? Why isn't she here cleaning up your mess?"Her tone was steeped in scorn. Every word carried her accusation for his choosing of Jacklyn as his girlfriend and fiancee."Look at her." Lara pointed toward Bianca, who was sitting pitifully like a wronged little wife. "This is the trouble you brought home, isn't it?""No," Liam denied calmly.That made Lara br

Five years ago, Jacklyn only had Eugene, so his betrayal had shattered her beyond repair.Five years later, she had Theodore, Odore, and Starborne Entertainment. And above all, she shared a love with Liam that had endured storm after storm. Even if she was shaken for a moment, she could recover quickly now.By the time Eugene arrived, Jaclyn had already returned to her usual workaholic self. Only out of courtesy did she agree to see him. Otherwise, he might not even have had the chance to sit across from her.Eugene ignored whatever she said and went on, "Liam isn't worth your lifetime. It hasn't been that long since the fire, and now, there's this scandal. He's keeping a mistress outside! Does he care nothing for your health and well-being?"Her hoarse voice sounded like a beast suppressing its nature, on the verge of losing control.Jacklyn gave a cold laugh. "Didn't you have a mistress by your side, too?"The mocking tone caught in his throat. His heart leapt wildly instead.

"Mr. Robertson, the PR department has been working around the clock for the past two days. By this morning, the situation had more or less died down."The man standing before Liam reported on the results of the crisis management. He continued, "But then, this Ms. Reed suddenly appeared. One say from her, and the whole thing's back in the spotlight. We're still working on it."The man's expression tightened with unease, afraid Liam would blame him for negligence."I see. You can go back to work now," Liam said evenly.He set his phone down, mind tracing over the cracks in the whole incident.That morning, Robertson Group's stock price had opened slightly lower than usual, though it still held steady thanks to the steadying public opinion.At noon, however, Bianca's video had dropped out of nowhere. And just as expected, Robertson Group's stock took a steep dive.…"How long has it been, and you still haven't dealt with this? Are we supposed to just watch Robertson Group go under
