Sienna hastily replied, "Something's come up on my end. I'll call you back later."
"Alright," Tessa answered.read sw
Once she ended the call, Sienna met Marissa's gaze and replied, "It has been a while, hasn't it?"
"Are you available? I'd like to treat you to a meal," Marissa said.
Sienna hesitated. She had wanted to turn Marissa down, but she couldn't help but recall Marissa's feelings for Stephen in the past. So, she changed her mind.
Marissa had returned to the country to attend Caleb's and Rowena's funeral. That meant that she had likely already seen Stephen.read sw
Sienna had a feeling that Marissa wasn't treating her to a meal out of kindness. Sienna thought to herself, " Marissa's probably planning to dig for information regarding Stephen."
It was just as well, as Sienna planned to prod Marissa about her thoughts when it came to Stephen. She wanted to know whether Marissa was still interested in him.
"Sure," Sienna said agreeably. "Why don't we meet up after we've changed out of our clothes? Since it's your treat, you'll be picking the location."
"That's fine by me. I'll drop you a text on WhatsApp," Marissa replied.
Sienna had a cold expression on her face as she nodded nonchalantly.
Only then did Marissa take her leave.
Sienna couldn't help but sigh as she watched Marissa's retreating figure.
Should she tell Tessa that Marissa has returned?
Although Tessa and Stephen had ended things between them, it was obvious that they still loved one another. Now that James had been arrested and Rowena was dead… Perhaps they might actually get back together.
…
Marissa and Sienna sat across from one another inside a private room. They had chosen to have their meal at an exclusive members-only restaurant owned by Scott Corporation.
After they caught up with one another, Marissa took a sip of her tea and asked, "I heard Stephen and Tessa broke up?"
She had always kept herself afloat on all of Stephen's affairs, even though she had been living abroad all these years.
She had been heartbroken when she heard the news of his engagement to Tessa last year.
The Scotts and the Jacobsons had been family friends because of Ralph. When they were kids, their parents had even joked around about arranging a betrothal between her and Stephen.
Later, Stephen became Marissa's first love.

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....
