Stephen pressed his lips into a tight line as he stayed in his spot in the booth. His eyes were as dark and deep as a bottomless whirlpool.
Tessa's voice trembled, her tone full of desperation and hopelessness. "Stephen, you coward! If you're here, why don't you dare to face me?"
In an inconspicuous corner, a man raised his phone and discreetly recorded the scene of Tessa's breakdown.
Sienna's heart hurt as she watched Tessa. "Tessa, you're drunk. Come on, be good. I'll send you home."
Sienna guided Tessa away from the crowd in the bar. Her two bodyguards shadowed her movements closely behind her.
…
When Liam received the recording, James was busy flirting with a new beauty he had just met. The atmosphere in the booth was charged with tension, with the smell of smoke and alcohol mingling together and permeating the room.
James had an arm wrapped around the woman's waist as he kissed her. Her breathing got more and more ragged the longer they kissed. He would never pass up the opportunity to enjoy himself if it were served to him on a silver platter.
By the time he was done, two hours had passed.
The woman was sprawled on the couch. She was panting harshly, her clothes a rumpled mess on her body. James' clothes, on the other hand, were still perfectly neat and tidy. He leaned back against the couch lazily and pulled out a cigarette.
He lit up the cigarette, sending a thin column of smoke winding into the air that occasionally obscured his handsome features. It added to the wild and untameable air that always surrounded him. Noticing that James was finished with his business, Liam approached him to report to him. The woman picked up her discarded clothes on the floor before exiting the booth.
"Mr. Fullerton, we've successfully secured the goods from Crantwood in Arcton."
James hummed disinterestedly. "What about over at Castellion?"
"There was some trouble at Bayswood. When our people met up with Kim Mayers, they ran into the police. The deal had to be called off, and the goods were searched, but everyone managed to escape."

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...
