“Well, I’ll be off then. “Tessa raised het keys, about to leave, but then pased “oh, wall, I have a gift for you too. I should have given it to you last night, but t completely torg.”
“Really? What is it?–
“It’s in my suitcase at the hotel. I’ll grab it for you when we get back.”
Stephen opened the driver’s side door. “Let’s go together, and I’ll drive.”
“Huh?” She was momentarily stunned before quickly catching on. “We can go together, but let me drive. You should rest.”
He had flown all the way from Rivertown to see her the night before and then drove 12 miles to buy her breakfast this moming. He must be exhausted, and she didn’t want to burden him any further.
“Alright. Stephen smiled, touched by how considerate Tessa was being. Without hesitation, he walked around to the passenger side and climbed in. “Your wish is
As they drove along the highway, they chatted casually.
“Can I attend the court case you’re in today?” he asked.
“Sure, it’s a contract dispute case, No trade secrets are involved. Would you like to come?”
“Yeah, cant?” Stephen’s voice was soft, a trace of hesitation in it. I’ve never seen you in court before.”
“Of course.” Tessa assumed they were already close enough to share that experience. “Do you have your ID? You’ll need it to fill out an application form and get a visitor’s pass.***
“I have it,” he replied. He had packed it with him for his flight the night before, and today, thinking he might want to attend the hearing, he had checked and made Sure to bring his ID
“Great, I’ll take you there later”
Stephen’s gaze darned as he replied after a long pause, “Actually, by my generation, there’s no need to rely on arranged manages to secure the family’s position.”
The answer was vague, leaving Trusa confused.

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....
