Inside Caleb's ward, Sophia glanced at Stephen. "Have you eaten yet?"
Stephen shook his head. "I'm not hungry."
"You need to eat even if you're not hungry. You're hurt too. How are you going to heal without food?"
As she spoke, Sophia called Stephen's assistant, Samson. "Bring Stephen some lunch."
"Yes, Mrs. Jacobson," Samson replied.
He had come with Stephen to the hospital yesterday when Tessa got hurt. Since then, he'd also found out about Caleb's poisoning and hospitalization, so Sophia didn't need to say where to deliver it—he already knew.
"Your grandfather's coming back to Rivertown tomorrow afternoon," Sophia said to Stephen.
Stephen gave a quiet hum.
Caleb regained consciousness, but he looked like a shell of his former self—gaunt and hollow-cheeked, with sunken eyes and lips tinged a faint bluish-black.
Sophia looked at him and let out a silent sigh.
Just last night, they had been arguing. And now, he was at death's door. Life could be so unpredictable.
That thought made her feel an unexpected wave of sorrow.
Even if they'd never had a good relationship, they had still been together for nearly 30 years. Maybe there was no love between them, but he was undeniably her family.
Caleb didn't know that after hearing the doctor explain his condition, Sophia had been unable to sleep all night. She'd laid in bed alone, quietly wiping the tears from her eyes.

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....
