Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Penelope returned to the Stinson residence and dug through Rebecca's drawer to find Lydia's contact information.She quickly arranged a meeting with her, using bearing a Lloyd grandson as the reason. That afternoon, Penelope arrived early at the coffee shop. Just thinking about how she was going to replace Jacklyn very soon put her in high spirits. Lydia wanted a grandson so much, she would surely help her secure the title of Mrs. Lloyd. After all, the baby she was carrying would be the first grandson in the Lloyd family.Just as those thoughts ran through her mind, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a stifling gaze. It weighed so heavily on her, it felt like there was a boulder sitting on her chest."Penelope Stinson?" Lydia asked, her eyes narrowed. Her gaze then fell on her tummy. "You?"Knowing she wouldn't believe her, Penelope hurriedly pulled out a few documents. She extended her hand and handed them over. "These are the latest prenatal checkup reports. Gene was the

Eugene continued, "So, Mom, you just need to wait till the baby is born, then you get to be a doting grandmother. Don't worry about anything else. And once the baby is here, you should be nicer to Jackie. We'll be spending the rest of our lives together, after all."His gaze was especially adamant when he met Lydia's eyes, emphasizing once again, "I love Jackie, and I will only love her. Penelope… is nothing more than a palate cleanser."On the stair, Jacklyn's cold eyes looked away as she leaned against the wall, her lips curling into a mocking smile. It was Eugene who said he loved her, and yet it was also Eugene who hurt her. How ridiculous.She turned and headed into the bedroom, shutting the door behind her.The phone suddenly buzzed, and she checked it, finding Penelope's name flashing across the screen. She opened the message."Jackie, Lydia should be at Lloyd Manor by now. If you're interested, you might want to listen in on her conversation with Gene. I trust that you'l

Indy nodded in affirmation. "I was also the one who appraised the most recent glazed glass vase with the exact same style and material. I'm certain that this is genuine, and it's one of only three known to exist in the country."A look of smugness crossed Penelope's eyes.She was smart enough to recognize this was a treasure. The shop owner was the one who had no eye for quality and actually wanted to sell it.With the expert's guarantee, Lydia immediately stood up and cradled the vase in her arms. She inspected the striations on the surface and marveled, "No wonder I found this to be special at first glance. You have a good eye, finding such a rare item."Seeing that Lydia's attitude had softened, Penelope took the opportunity to sidle closer to her. "As long as it pleases you, Ms. Muller. I went through a lot of trouble and spent a lot of money to purchase this glazed glass vase. But as long as it makes you happy, then all of it was worth it."Her flattery, combined with the t

The cutter spun fast, blade slicing through the gemstone, sending up sprays of water. Just moments later, the machine stopped. Everyone's eyes locked onto the two pieces of gemstone.Then, the lapidary rinsed them off. The next second, a flawless green shimmer appeared in front of the crowd. The line that everyone had doubted? It had split the stone cleanly into two perfect sections.The sight was too shocking. A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd."This is the first time I've ever seen someone cut along such a risky line and not lose a single bit of usable material.""Same here. That girl's young, but damn, her eye is razor sharp! I'm impressed!"Just then, Liam stepped up to the stall and quietly told the staff, "Send this half to this address."He handed over a slip of paper. Jacklyn's eyes widened as she stole a glance at it. It was the address to her own studio.She quickly reached out to stop him. "Did you give them the wrong one? That's my studio.""You're a profess

Jacklyn put away her phone, a small smile flickering in her sharp eyes. This was getting more entertaining by the minute.By then, Penelope had already walked off. Jacklyn then took the chance to head to the front desk. "Hi, I wanted to ask. What floor is that girl from earlier staying on?"The receptionist glanced at her. "Sorry. It's hotel policy that we're not allowed to give out guest information."Jacklyn's expression shifted. Her gaze flickered, and in the next second, her face turned tense, eyes filled with helplessness. "I'm really sorry. I know this puts you in a tough spot, but that woman who just went up? She's my husband's mistress. "I found out they were sneaking around here today. That's why I came…" She turned away slightly and forced out two tears.The rules were strict, but the receptionist's heart softened. After a moment's struggle, she quickly pulled out a small piece of tissue, scribbled down four digits, and handed it over. "I'm sorry, miss. I really can't s
