Chapter 27
Quentin clicked his tongue, pretending to be annoyed. “How can you say that? It’s not cheesy–It’s called high–EQ social skills.”
“Boring.” Naomi commented, pulling Tessa Inside. “Tess, let’s go. Don’t mind him.”
Semna quietly sat down next to Henry, “Hi, Henry.”
“Hello,” Henry murmured, giving a slight nod.
Tessa sat next to stephen. “Stephen, have you been waiting long?”
Stephen’s voice was soft. “No, we just antved.”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the girl beside him. “Why don’t you greet her?”
His tone carried a subtle reproach.
The girl pouted and reluctantly replied, “Ms. Yates, hello”
Stephen glanced at her with a cold, sweeping look, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Who is she?” Tessa asked, tilting her head with a hint of curiosity in her almond–shaped eyes.
Stephen’s voice was distant and cold. “My sister, Jacqueline.”
So, this was Jacobson’s adopted daughter, Jacqueline.
Tessa had heard of her but was meeting her for the first time.
Jacqueline hadn’t been raised in the main house and had spent several years studying abroad. No one knew she had returned.
“Jacqueline, Tess is my future wife, your sister–in–law. How could you greet her with such an attitude?” A cold glint flickered in Stephen’s eyes, his voice low and commanding. “Who taught you to act like that?”
“I’m sorry, Stephen, Jacqueline apologized quickly.
Jacqueline’s gaze hardened. “You don’t have to.”
Maori rolled her eyes and scoffed, muttering under her breath, “Stop pretending.”
Though she had never interacted with Jacqueline before, her instincts told her that Jacqueline was not someone to be underestimated. Jacqueline’s animosity toward Tessa was unanistakable.
Naomi quietly mocked Jacqueline, and though no one else could hear, Quentin, sitting right next to her, caught every word.
He gently pinched Naomi’s arm under the table. “Don’t do that Jacqueline is Stephen’s sister, after all. Show some respect.”
Naomi winced at the pinch, then shot Quentina fierce glare. In a swift move, she grabbed his arm, squeezing it tightly as she sought her revenge.
“Don’t even think about pinching me again,” she warned, her eyes flashing with defiance.
He yelped in pain “Alright, alright, Let go. You’re hurting me.
At that moment, the door swing open “Sorry, I was caught intrattle.

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....
