The man grabbed Jacqueline and ripped the tape off her mouth with a look of disgust. He then untied the ropes binding her and tossed her into the sea.
"Wash yourself clean. You smell terrible."
The boat was docked at the pier. Although there were no sharks in this part of the sea, Jacqueline couldn't swim, so throwing her into the water still put her life in danger. It was clear that the person who threw her overboard didn't know that.
Jacqueline flailed in the seawater, screaming for help.
At first, the man thought she was pretending and watched her struggle with amusement from the shore. "Yeah, keep thrashing like that. Clean yourself off properly so you don't stink up the place when you see our boss."
The "boss" he referred to was Stephen's subordinate, Lawrence Wallace.
The port where the boat was docked was located in the coastal city of Lindwell. Though Lindwell was a southern city, it was situated farther north, with winter temperatures around freezing.
The seawater was icy cold. Jacqueline trembled uncontrollably, her lips darkening to a sicky purple as spasms wracked her limbs.
She swallowed a lot of seawater, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. After struggling for a while, she gradually lost her strength.
Seeing her shouts weaken and her body starting to sink, the man watching began to panic.
He cursed, "Damn it! She really can't swim? Do I seriously have to jump in and fish her out?"
It was far too cold, and he was unwilling to dive into the sea to save her.
Looking around, he spotted an orange life ring hanging nearby.
The man grabbed the life ring and tossed it into the sea. "You stinking woman, grab the life ring and get out on your own! I'm not jumping in to save you in this cold!"
Although Jacqueline reached for the life ring, she was too weak to swim toward it.
Seeing that she couldn't grab the floating device and was about to sink, the man cursed under his breath, reluctantly diving into the sea to pull her out.

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....
