Jacklyn was certain Amanda had stirred the pot, which explained why Bianca had suddenly appeared at Odore, making a scene.Teeth clenched, Bianca burst out desperately, "Anyway, Lara said it herself. I'm carrying a Robertson, so Liam's going to marry me!"That gave Jacklyn her chance. "Why the rush? The baby isn't even here yet. And who says it's really Liam's? Could be some random guy's for all anyone knows."She delivered it lightly, her face calm and unreadable, as though she'd already seen the truth all along.Panic had overtaken Bianca, drowning out any anger. She tripped over her words. "What are you talking about? You're j-just saying that because you're jealous of me."She kept her eyes off Jacklyn, too scared to look and risk the truth showing.Jacklyn scoffed, twirling the pencil between her fingers, her words dripping with mockery. "Why so jumpy, Ms. Reed? When the time comes, a DNA test would prove whether the baby you're carrying is actually Liam's, right?"A DNA te

After those words left her lips, Bianca broke down sobbing, her throat tight, her shoulders trembling. Sweat clung to her skin, and her whole body flushed hot.Lara had barely sat before she shot back up, hands on her hips as she snapped, "Unbelievable! Who does Jacklyn think she is? Since when does she get a say in the Robertsons' business? The nerve of her!"Forcing her anger down, Lara sat again, brows knitted as she spoke softly to steady Bianca, "Don't let it get to you. She's just a shameless temptress. It's natural for Liam to lose his head for a bit."Give it time. He'll realize the woman who truly matters is you. And more than that, the child you're carrying."Lara gently took Bianca's hand on the hospital bed. "Don't cry, Bianca. I'm here. Do you like Hemera's designer pieces? Tomorrow, I'll have them come by and tailor a few outfits just for you."Next to you, Jacklyn's nothing but an eyesore."Bianca's sobs eased a little. Sniffling, she whispered, "I'm carrying Liam'

Augustine said, "Oh, right. You don't come by often, so I made a proper spread. Eat plenty. You'd make me look bad if you didn't.""Thanks. I've been starving all day. I'm going to enjoy every bit," Jacklyn said.Soon, they were both seated at the table. The maid brought over the last pot of simmering soup, and now, everything was laid out before them.Jacklyn ladled a bowl of soup for Augustine and set it in front of him with both hands."No need to worry about me, Jackie," Augustine said, politely refusing her gesture.Jacklyn didn't mind. She just nodded.Once Augustine started eating, she lifted her fork, its handle inlaid with gold, and speared a piece of tender pork rib from her plate.Just as she was about to take a bite, he asked, "Jacklyn, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"His heavy tone froze the atmosphere at the table, making it feel almost colder. Jacklyn stiffened, already guessing what he was about to say.Augustine continued, "You care about your

When Jacklyn returned to the apartment, "exhausted" barely began to describe her. She looked half dead."Jackie, are you okay?" Liam asked, having waited for her for hours.By the time he realized she'd been called out to Brightwood Estate on the outskirts, it was already too late. Halfway there, he'd turned back and decided to wait for her at the apartment.Seeing the worry etched across his face, she dropped her bag and stepped toward him. She rested one hand on his shoulder and used the other to smooth the furrow between his brows.Her eyes held something that could've been a worry for him or a lament for her own fate."Relax, Jackie. I'll talk to Grandpa and clear everything up. Bianca had managed to trick him for now. I'll make sure he never does something like that again. Don't worry," Liam said, his heart aching for her.Seeing her expression, he knew she'd had a rough day, and it was all his fault. He wished he could rip his heart out just to show her how much he cared.

Jacklyn pressed her lips together and let out a long sigh. "Fine. I'll give you the money. Just give Theo back."She had hoped that would settle Rebecca, but it didn't.Slowly, Rebecca spoke, "It's too late."Jacklyn gritted her teeth, holding back the last of her patience. "What do you want, then?"Liam hovered nearby, worry written all over his face, too afraid to speak."I want you out of the country. Never to return.""Why? Aren't I your own daughter? Why are you so desperate to see me gone?"Jacklyn couldn't make sense of it. Rebecca didn't want the money or anything else. Her only aim was to see Jacklyn leave Cyrelia. It was nothing like the patterns Jacklyn knew from Rebecca and George."Have you ever treated me like your mother? You've never listened to me, and you've always defied your father and me. You never respected us, treating us like we're beneath you!"Rebecca's fury poured out in a rush, then, almost immediately, she added, "I'm done talking. Book your flight
