When Stephen's men made it to the airport, the plane Jacqueline boarded had already taken off.
Lawrence's heart dropped into his gut when he heard the news.
"Boss, Jacqueline flew away in a private jet. She must have planned this from the start. Her flight route was approved a long time ago," one of the underlings reported to him.
Lawrence was furious to the point nerves started popping on his forehead. He delivered a strong kick at the other man. "Useless! You're all useless! What the hell are all of you doing? You can't even capture a single woman? How am I going to explain this to Mr. Jacobson?"
…
Over in Arcton, James leaned against the headboard with a satisfied expression, a lit cigarette dangling between his fingers. He had just finished fooling around with the woman.
She was still naked as she lounged in his arms, tracing her small and delicate hand along the muscles of his tanned skin.
"James, were you talking to one of your girlfriends on the phone? I thought you wouldn't care about her anymore now that you have me. I didn't expect you to call her back."
Her confidence had only grown because she assumed that James was pleased by their coupling, so she used the opportunity to play the coy and jealous lover in front of James.
James sucked in a breath of smoke and blew out some smoke rings. The smoke danced around them, occasionally obscuring his vision. He smirked as he lifted the woman's chin. With passion swirling in his gaze, he stared deeply into the woman's eyes, shooting her a dashing grin.
"No one can pleasure me like you do. I was just talking to a pawn. She still has some use left, so I gave her a hand. Once she's no longer useful, she won't even compare to Bebe."
In the study of Rivertown Villa, Caleb wore a somber expression. There was a laptop on the study desk showing Ralph's steely face on the screen.
Ralph was communicating with Caleb via video call. His voice boomed with authority as he admonished his son. "Caleb, I told you from the start that you shouldn't have kept that bastard child. You were too soft-hearted. The Jacobson family only needs one heir."
Caleb felt ashamed and regretful, his face twisting in pain. "Dad, I'm the one in the wrong. I shouldn't have shown him any kindness. I only did it because he has our family's blood flowing."
Ralph's face reddened from anger. He scolded, "It's all thanks to your blasted compassion that we're in this situation now! Look at what James has done! Taking people out like they are trash. That's three human lives he's snuffed out!"
Stephen stood quietly to the side. Caleb could only lower his head and endure Ralph's verbal lashing, not daring to talk back to him.

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....
