Zachary appeared to be listening and even nodded as if he understood before leaving.
In reality, he had not listened to a single word. Telling him to stay away from Tessa was impossible for him.
…
As night fell, Zachary suffered from insomnia.
He was still living in the apartment next to Tessa's, but she had already moved out.
The night was silent.
Zachary lay in bed. The room was dark, and the lights were turned off. He closed his eyes, and Tessa's face repeatedly resurfaced in his mind.
Suddenly, an unpleasant face forced its way into his thoughts. Stephen flashed a provocative smile as he cupped Tessa's face and kissed her passionately.
"No. Stop it! Don't touch her. Get away." Zachary shouted suddenly.
In the darkness of his room, he screamed like a madman. He kept tormenting himself, replaying scenes of Stephen and Tessa together, even envisioning their intimate moments.
"No… Tessy… No…" Zachary curled up on his bed as his suppressed sobs echoed in the darkness.
"Ugh… Please… No…"
This tall, grown man curled into a ball, sobbing uncontrollably.
…
The truck finally came to a stop, and Jacqueline was violently dragged out of the vehicle.
She looked up and recognized the place. It was Stephen's base. She had been here before but had never been allowed inside.
Seeing her expression, Lawrence couldn't help but laugh. "Ms. Sanders, don't tell me you did all of this for Mr. Jacobson. Do you have some kind of improper feelings toward him?"
Even when facing death, Jacqueline refused to admit it. "It's none of your business."
"You're right, it's none of my business. You should focus on what's going to happen next. Mr. Jacobson won't let you off easily."
"That's impossible. Steve would never be so cruel to me. He used to spoil me. You're just trying to scare me. Steve treated me so well. How could he possibly punish me?"
Lawrence's expression turned strange. "Should I call you naive or just plain stupid? Mr. Jacobson was nice to you because you were the Jacobson family's adopted daughter, his sister in name.
"But now? You helped James, and you're responsible for several deaths. You became an enemy of the Jacobson family. Do you think Mr. Jacobson will show you any mercy now?"
He paused briefly before continuing, "Besides, Mr. Jacobson only cares about Mrs. Jacobson. Who do you think you are? You previously ordered Susan to kidnap Mrs. Jacobson's sister. Mr. Jacobson hasn't even settled that score with you yet."

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....
