The housekeeper saw Tessa's red, swollen eyes, and her expression changed. "Ms. Yates, what happened?"
Tessa gently shook her head and said with a choked voice, "I'm fine."
The housekeeper looked worried. "Do you need me to contact Mr. Jacobson?"
It was an unintentional slip, but it still stung.
Tessa forced a weak smile—one that looked even worse than crying. She tried to sound composed. "I'm really fine. I guess I just haven't adjusted to this place yet. And I've been worried about my father's condition. I couldn't hold back my emotions. You don't need to worry about me."
The housekeeper wasn't aware that Samuel was hospitalized, so she didn't press further. She said, "It's good that you're all right. You scared me for a moment. I thought something had happened.
"Mr. Jacobson specifically told me that if you need anything, you should reach out to him anytime. Even if it's just about meals or trouble sleeping, he wants to know."
Tessa was stunned. "He really said that?"
The housekeeper smiled and replied, "Of course, Ms. Yates. It's obvious how much Mr. Jacobson cares about you."
Tessa remained silent.
The housekeeper continued, "You should rest. If you get hungry later, just let me know, and I'll prepare something for you."
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I won't be eating tonight. Once you're done with your work, you should rest."
The housekeeper hesitated. "Mr. Jacobson gave strict instructions to take good care of you. I'm staying in
the room diagonally across from yours. Just knock if you need anything."
"Alright."
…
James lounged on the couch in a secluded villa, arms resting on the backrest, long legs crossed in a casual yet commanding posture. Though he appeared relaxed, his eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.
Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Are you telling me that the three of you couldn't handle Stephen, even when he had a woman with him?"
The injured man trembled slightly while kneeling on the floor. His head and arm were wrapped in bandages because of the wounds from the afternoon chase. He was the one driving the Aston Martin, hunting Stephen down.
Stephen fired a bullet that pierced his arm. When his car crashed into the guardrail, his head struck hard enough to knock him unconscious.

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...
