Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Three days later, Robertson Group's internal jewelry design competition took place as scheduled. The elders of the Robertson family sat in a row. When Frank walked in, he was delighted to find that Liam wasn't there. This was going to be the perfect chance for him to finally shine. He stepped forward and poured coffee for all the elders seated there, smiling warmly and not forgetting to throw in a few flattering compliments.They were pleased with how he pandered to them, and they showered him with praise.Right then, a sharp-eyed elder noticed Liam walking in. "Liam's here."All eyes that had been on Frank instantly turned toward the entrance, and the wave of compliments abruptly stopped.Dressed in a nicely pressed suit, Liam walked in, tall and straight. Jacklyn followed behind him, and they instantly became the center of attention.Frank's expression darkened, and the smile on his lips became stiff.He was indignant. Why did everyone's attention fall on Liam the moment

Over at Lloyd Group, Kacey knocked on the door before entering Eugene's office and placing an invitation on the desk."Mr. Lloyd, Robertson Group is holding their anniversary gala tomorrow. They sent this invitation over."Eugene was just about to say something when the office door swung open once again, and Penelope came bounding in excitedly—just in time to hear Kacey's words. "What anniversary gala?" she asked."Robertson Group's anniversary gala," Eugene explained.This immediately caught Penelope's interest. "Gene, there'll definitely be a lot of high-profile guests at an event like this. Can you bring me along with you?"Kacey nearly gagged just watching this. If Eugene were to bring someone, it should be his actual wife, Jacklyn, and not Penelope. She couldn't help but say, "Robertson Group's anniversary gala is no small event. Only guests with invitations will be allowed in. Random people won't be granted entry.""Random people? Are you talking about me?" Penelope's

After the gala ended, Jacklyn returned to Lloyd Manor with Eugene.Since Lydia had people delivering the brewed medicine over every day, Jacklyn had no choice but to stay there and maintain the act.Eugene finally asked the question that had been bothering him the whole night. "Jackie, since when did you start working with Robertson Group?"Not only was the displeasure clear in his eyes, but there was a hint of suspicion mixed in them, too."It was only a coincidence that I designed that piece of jewelry."Eugene frowned, finding it hard to believe that it was a coincidence.Still slightly suspicious, he tried to reason, "I'll forget about it this time, but I don't want you working with them again."Jacklyn pretended to be confused as she asked, "Why? My working with Robertson Group doesn't affect you. There's no conflict of interest between your two companies."Eugene pursed his lips as jealousy flared. "I'm a man. I can clearly see what's going through Liam's mind! He has ill

Eugene thrust his phone over. Jacklyn was confused. She looked at the screen, and immediately, memories of that particular scene came back to her.She and Liam had only been discussing design details—how on earth had it turned into something romantic?"Explain yourself! What exactly were you two doing?" Eugene demanded again, his eyes bloodshot.Jacklyn put the phone down calmly. "We were merely talking about the design sketch. That's all.""Impossible!Eugene was seemingly convinced that their relationship was anything but innocent. Without any hesitation, he shot back, "The facts are right in front of you, and you're still lying!"She grabbed her handbag, looking unbothered. "I know I'm innocent, but you believe what you want," she said before walking around him and out the door.Fury raged through Eugene. He clenched his fists tightly, his face frighteningly stormy.He immediately trailed after her. He followed her all the way until he reached a studio, and he saw Jackly

Jacklyn pulled her hand out of Eugene's grasp, and she wiggled her delicate fingers at him before walking off.The moment she left, his face darkened. Though he was desperate to get to the bottom of things with Jacklyn, the company had been thrown into complete chaos by all the negative press, and that had to take priority.When he arrived at the office, Kacey looked like she had finally found a lifeline. "Mr. Lloyd, things are getting worse. We can't suppress the public backlash at all. The PR department—"Eugene tugged irritably at his tie before barking, "Call the PR department for a meeting."Not long after, the entire PR department was gathered. They all sat stiffly and with their heads down, all afraid to make any sounds. No one had expected their own boss to become embroiled in such a scandal.Eugene's fierce gaze swept down the table, from the manager sitting at the front all the way to the end."Well? Why are you all just sitting there? Hurry up and come up with a soluti
