The following afternoon, Tessa received a call from Samuel. The moment his name lit up on the screen, her heart skipped a beat.
Samuel had always strongly disapproved of her being with Stephen. Ever since she and Stephen had gotten back together, she had kept the relationship hidden from him.
Seeing his name on the caller ID sent a wave of anxiety through her. Was this it? Had he found out and was calling to confront her?
Tessa's heart leaped into her throat. In those few seconds, her mind raced through every possible explanation she could give.
But when she answered the call, Samuel's voice came through, calm and even.
"Tessa, there is a business reception the evening after tomorrow. I want you to attend. I would like to introduce you to a few of our company's partners. There could be some good opportunities for your firm to work with them."
Tessa let out a quiet breath of relief. So that was it. He was simply trying to connect her with more professional contacts.
"Alright, Dad. What time is it? Send me the details."
…
The night of the reception, Tessa arrived wearing a simple black strapless evening gown. The dress was understated and conservative, revealing only her shoulders and arms.
Samuel introduced her to several company executives, all older gentlemen and ladies who were long-time business partners of Yates Corporation.
Between the drinks and polite conversation, Tessa managed to secure a few major cases, each worth millions in legal fees.
Once the round of greetings with the older generation was over, Samuel led her toward a younger man, someone close to her own age.
When Tessa saw Torin Covington, she froze for half a second.
"This is Torin Covington, the second son of Mr. Covington. He just returned from Schazland and is now working as the general manager of the family business," Samuel introduced with a smile.

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....
