Meanwhile, Stephen was playing cards with a few of his friends.
Quentin picked up a card as a cigarette dangled at the corner of his mouth.
He teased, "Wow, pigs must have started flying. Why do you have the time to hang out with us today, Steve? Aren't you supposed to be picking up Tessa from work?"
Ever since Tessa started working and moved into her own apartment, Stephen would head over to Marina Apartment whenever he had the time.
It had been ages since he had joined one of their gatherings.
Ever since the incident at his engagement ceremony, he had been admitted to the hospital for a period of time.
By the time he was discharged, his relationship with Tessa had deepened, and they had become inseparable. He then made it a habit to pick her up from work almost every day.
Stephen remained indifferent as he played a card. "She's having dinner with her colleagues tonight."
"Oh, so you've been abandoned, haven't you?" Quentin asked exaggeratedly, and his expression was extremely annoying.
In a sarcastic tone, he continued, "Who would have thought that the great Mr. Jacobson would be abandoned by a woman one day? What kind of gathering with her colleagues could possibly be more important than you?"
The air around Stephen turned slightly colder as he looked at Quentin coldly. "Me? Abandoned? That's impossible."
Stephen smirked before he continued, "She'll still need to head home after her dinner, but what about you? Will you need to go pick up your girlfriend later too?"
This remark wasn't particularly hurtful, but it was extremely insulting.
Everyone knew that Quentin was single, so how could he possibly have a girlfriend?
Fuming, Quentin turned to Henry, trying to stir the pot. "Look at him! How can he mock his friends like this? Henry, you're single too. How can you tolerate this?"
Henry coughed lightly. Sorry, but I'm actually in a relationship too."
"What?" Quentin's jaw dropped, his cigarette nearly falling out of his mouth. He asked again, "What did you say? You're in a relationship too?"
Henry nodded. "Yeah."

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....
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...
