Tessa said softly, "He came to tell me that you were with Susan last night. He even accused you of sending people to kidnap Susan from the police. He tried to mislead me, wanting me to suspect that Susan had gotten pregnant with your child."
"What did your heart tell you?" Stephen asked gently.
"To be honest with you, my hands were trembling from how worried I was. I was scared that you really betrayed me. But… after thinking things through, I assumed he was trying to intentionally ruin our relationship. I trust that you wouldn't betray me."
Tessa sounded a little sorrowful as she quietly added, "Who could have thought that Susan would be assassinated last night…"
Stephen patted Tessa's back to comfort her. "It's okay, Tess. It doesn't matter if you doubted me. I would have come to you and explained everything. Of course, I'm happy that you decided to trust me. As for Susan… I didn't think she'd end up like this either."
"Susan… Was she perhaps being coerced? When she kidnapped Seline, I saw how her hand shook when she held the dagger. She looked so scared too. I don't think she's a bad person at heart."
Stephen made a noise of agreement. "Yes, she was being coerced."
Tessa held Stephen tighter. "Stephen, the person pulling the strings from behind the scenes is a psychopath. They kill other people without even batting an eye. You have to be careful."
He gritted his jaw, his eyes flashing sharply. "Don't worry about me. I'll be careful."
…
As Stephen left Tessa's apartment, he threw the bag of breakfast into the downstairs trash can. He ordered his men to do a check on Zachary. It didn't take long before the investigation was complete.
Zachary had spent a small fortune purchasing Tessa's address from a property company. Stephen immediately ordered his men to sue the company and bring the company's president to him.

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....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
