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.
Caleb looked at her for a moment. Then, he gave a bitter smile unexpectedly. "I'm dying. Are you happy now?"
The moment those words came out, Sophia snapped, "Caleb!" Her voice cracked, high-pitched with emotion. "I'm not as cruel as you think I am!"
Caleb looked at her and said nothing.
Watching his parents like this, Stephen felt a heavy ache in his chest. He let out a deep sigh, turned, and walked out of the room, giving them some space alone.

Meanwhile, the police had searched both the Jacobson residence and Jacqueline's private residence.
They had found some suspicious items.

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....
