Bruno collapsed to the ground, his knees hitting the floor hard.
The floor was slick, and as he fell, his forehead struck the ground with a loud thud, landing right at Tessa's feet.
Wynn stood over him, her gaze sharp and unflinching, cold as steel.
She had only stepped away for a few minutes to use the restroom. How had someone already dared to cause trouble for Tessa in such a short time?
"Do you want me to break his legs or end it here?" Wynn asked calmly, turning to Tessa as if discussing the weather.
Tessa let out a sigh. "Stay calm. We live in a law-abiding society. It's broad daylight, so let's handle this properly. Call the police."
The slap she had given Bruno was entirely justified.
From the moment she walked into the store, the man and his girlfriend had been provoking her relentlessly.
Tessa had been willing to ignore them and keep the peace, but they refused to let it go. Instead, they followed her out, escalating things until they crossed the line by insulting her dignity.
Their behavior was clear harassment. Her response had been nothing more than self-defense.
When Bruno tried to retaliate, Wynn stepped in. That, too, fell under self-defense.
Tessa was not worried in the slightest. The store's surveillance cameras had captured everything, and the sales associates had witnessed the entire exchange. Even if the police arrived, she knew she was on solid ground.
Bruno struggled to his feet, cursing loudly as he continued to spew one vulgar insult after another.
By then, a small crowd had gathered nearby, drawn by the commotion.
With an ice-cold expression, Wynn took out her phone and called the police, just as Tessa had instructed.
The response was swift. Within ten minutes, officers arrived at the scene.
With statements from the sales associates and clear footage from the security cameras, the situation was quickly confirmed. Bruno was charged with public disturbance and taken into custody for administrative detention.
Although Cassidy had not laid a hand on anyone, she had fueled the conflict with her aggressive insults. The officers brought her in for questioning as well.

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....
