Tessa recognized the look on Anne's face. She decided to help her by asking, "Anne, do you have something to say to me?"
Anne hesitated before saying, "Tessa, could you… Could you put on some makeup for me?"
Tessa was stunned.
"I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not recovering. I'm getting weaker by the day. Every time Lucas stops by, I can see how red his eyes are. I know he's upset. I don't want Lucas to worry about me."
Tears pricked the back of Tessa's eyes as despair crashed over her in relentless waves. "Of course, I can do that for you. You have such a cute face that you'll look beautiful with makeup on."
A smile crept up on Anne's face, resulting in two dimples burrowing themselves into her pale cheeks. "You really think so?"
"I know so!" Tessa reassured Anne with a nod, ignoring the stinging sensation in her nose. "I'll bring my makeup products with me when I see you tomorrow. I'll give you the prettiest makeover."
"Okay," Anne agreed, her eyes curving into crescents.
In the stairwell, Stephen was on the phone with Lawrence.
"Mr. Jacobson, the men we sent to Arcton have reported back to us. James has run into a significant roadblock at an important phase of the project. There's a high chance that the project will fall apart."
"Good." Stephen was passive as he asked, "Is Jacqueline also in Arcton?"
"Yes. We have confirmed that she was James' contact when she was still in the country. Our men have also discovered her address in Arcton."
Stephen's eyes flashed dangerously. He demanded authoritatively, "Capture her and bring her back here. I have some things I want to ask her personally."
"Understood!"
After disconnecting the call, Stephen returned to Anne's ward. Tessa was still engaged in a lively conversation with Anne. They were smiling, looking like they were having a lot of fun.
When he looked their way, Anne immediately avoided his gaze and whispered something to Tessa.
The smile on Tessa's face widened after hearing her words. Stephen looked at the pair curiously. "What's gotten the both of you looking so happy?"

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....
