"Blood…" Naomi's lips trembled as she stammered tremulously, "S-So much blood… Suicide… J-Jumped to his death."
Someone had jumped to their death?
Tessa was shocked.
"Naomi!" Quentin burst into the ward before scooping the terrified Naomi into his arms.
His face was filled with worry. He held Naomi in his embrace and soothed her gently, "Naomi, it's okay. Don't be scared. I'm here. You're alright."
Naomi was shaking like a leaf, and she held Quentin's collar in a white-knuckled grip. Her pale face was streaked with tears. It was clear that she had been scared silly.
Tessa couldn't help but feel guilty. She wouldn't have allowed Naomi to check things out if she'd known.
Based on Naomi's reaction, she must've seen the gruesome end of a person jumping to their death.
She must be traumatized by it.
Quentin only turned to look at Tessa after calming Naomi down.
To her surprise, Quentin didn't look much better than Naomi.
He gave her a good, long look before inhaling deeply and saying, "Caleb jumped to his death. Mrs. Jacobson Senior fell into cardiac arrest due to the shock and has passed away."
Tessa's eyes widened in disbelief.
…
Stephen had just returned to the Jacobson residence when he received news of Caleb's suicide.
Judging by the time, it had happened almost immediately after he rejected Caleb's request to see James one last time.
Caleb had jumped to his death.
Rowena had been hospitalized in the same hospital as Caleb.
There was no way they could've kept the news under wraps due to how sudden it was. Rowena soon found out about it, and her heart gave out in her grief. The hospital staff couldn't save her.
It had all happened so suddenly. Yet, it wasn't something that he didn't see coming.
After the call ended, Stephen stood in the villa's courtyard for a long, long time. It was as if he had become a statue upon hearing the news.
…
Two Jacobsons had died in the span of a single day. It was nothing short of a tragedy.
Stephen had swiftly kept Caleb's suicide under wraps.

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....
