"Tess, it's over. James is dead. It's all over now." Stephen's voice was low and hoarse.
Tessa's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Are you… Are you alright?"
There was a brief pause on the other end. Then came Stephen's calm reply through the phone. "I'm fine."
Good. He was safe. Tessa exhaled, the knot in her chest beginning to loosen.
She had feared he might get hurt while handling James in Arcton.
"I'm going to hang up now. It's dinnertime," she said.
"Tess, wait for me." Stephen's voice turned gentle.
Tessa gave no response. She ended the call without another word.
Her mind was a tangled mess. Sure, the James matter was resolved. But what about Rowena?
And then there was her father, Samuel, who had deep grievances toward the Jacobson family.
She also could not simply ignore all the pain she had endured in the past. Restarting anything with Stephen wasn't a decision she could take lightly.
"Tess, dinner's ready." Marianne's voice called out, pulling her thoughts back to the present.
"Coming." Tessa set aside her worries and walked toward the dining room.

Ever since learning Wendy was pregnant, Yanis had been glowing with joy, her happiness visible in everything she did.
Zachary had yet to tell her about the current state of Gomez Group. He still hoped to keep it from her and planned to break the news only if things reached a breaking point.
Thus, Yanis remained blissfully unaware. The fire was already at the doorstep, yet she still carried herself like a high-society matron, dressed in jewels and designer clothes, radiant as ever.
That afternoon, Yanis went shopping with the housekeeper, picking out all kinds of nutritional supplements for pregnant women. She also had the housekeeper visit a members-only supermarket to buy the best organic vegetables and a free-range hen.

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....
