Before Tessa could respond, Naomi fired off another question. "Wait—was it last night? A drunken mistake?"
She immediately smacked a hand over her mouth. "No, wait! 'Drunken mistake' sounds so wrong! Let's call it… 'liquid courage'! Drunk words, sober thoughts, right?"
Tessa's face turned scarlet as she mumbled, "No… It was this morning… after I sobered up."
Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god! So you slept with him while fully sober?"
The way she stressed the word "slept" made Tessa want to disappear on the spot. After a moment of hesitation, she gave a reluctant nod.
Naomi grinned mischievously. "Damn, Tess! So… how was it?"
Tessa stiffened, completely at a loss for words. Before she could formulate an answer, her phone rang.
It was a perfect escape.
Tessa exhaled softly and pulled out her phone. "I need to take this."
She glanced at the caller ID.
It was Jasmine.
Without hesitation, Tessa answered.
"Ms. Yates, are you available to come over? I could really use your help with something."
Tessa took a moment to steady herself. "What's going on?"
Jasmine got straight to the point, quickly explaining the situation.
Tessa's brows furrowed with concern. "Wait for me. I'll be there in a minute."
Ending the call, she grabbed her bag and stood up. "Something came up—I need to go. We'll meet another time."
Naomi's lips curled into a slight pout. "Is there really something going on? You're not just setting an alarm and making a quick escape to avoid answering our questions, are you?"
Tessa sighed, holding up her phone to show the call log. "See? It's legit."
Naomi crossed her arms. "Alright, but next time, you're telling us everything!"
"Deal."
With that, Tessa rushed out the door.
She had been dating him for two months when his long-distance girlfriend suddenly appeared. It was only then that Naomi realized she had been played.
Furious, she and the other woman teamed up to expose the scumbag. His cheating scandal spread like wildfire, turning him into the most despised man on Rivertown University's campus.
Quentin had even stormed into the university and beaten him to a pulp.
And if that wasn't enough, he went a step further—using his family's influence to ensure the scumbag was expelled for good.
Since then, Naomi had developed a deep aversion to relationships. Years had passed, but she had never once considered dating again.
The most intimate thing she had ever done with that bastard was kiss him—anything beyond that had never even crossed her mind.
She let out a long sigh. "At this rate… I might just stay single forever…"
…
Tessa rushed over as fast as she could.
When she arrived, she found Jasmine comforting a young girl crying uncontrollably.
"Ms. Yates, you're finally here!" Jasmine's eyes lit up the moment she saw her. "Please, help Anne—she's been through a lot."

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
