Michelle smiled and said, "Tess, you must be tired from work. Come, eat up."
Tessa picked up her cutlery but didn't have much of an appetite.
Her mind was still reeling from the terrifying experience she had on the road today.
This was her first brush against death. She had almost lost her life today.
She was still lost in thought when Stephen returned.
"Tess, are you okay?" Stephen asked, his expression tight with worry and anxiety. He quickly approached her and placed his hands on her shoulders before bending down to examine her carefully.
Tessa snapped out of it. "Stephen, you found out?"
Stephen hummed in acknowledgment and pulled her into a tight embrace.
He had nearly lost her.
"Stephen, I have a feeling that James was behind it. I can't think of anyone else other than him."
Sure, Jacqueline definitely hated her guts the most. However, Jacqueline had also been arrested by the police.
So, the most likely suspect was none other than James.
Stephen tightened his grip around Tessa, and his dark eyes glinted dangerously. "I've looked into it and James has indeed returned to the country."
Tessa stiffened upon hearing his answer.
"Tess, please try to stay home and work remotely for now," Stephen suggested.
"Is he… Is James really that terrifying?" Tessa asked hesitantly.
"Who is it?"
"Leon McGraw," she answered.
A cold glint flashed in Stephen's eyes. "Is he the man who tried to beat you up with his thugs today?"
"Yes." Tessa nodded. "I have a hunch that he has a backer. It doesn't make sense for a small-time factory owner like him to hire thugs to teach me a lesson. He acts like he's part of the mafia."
Stephen replied, "I've already sent my subordinates to investigate him."
"Good," Tessa said with satisfaction.
"Tess, let's eat before the food gets cold." Stephen pulled out a chair and sat next to her.
"Alright, you're joining me for dinner."

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....
