It was Wednesday morning when Tessa's relatives came to visit after hearing she was back for her break. Tessa sat in the living room to entertain the guests, engaging with her elders in conversation.
As they chatted, Mabel Yates, who was one of Tessa's aunts and had curly hair, asked Samuel, "What happened to the arranged marriage between your family and the Jacobsons? Why was it cancelled?"
Tessa cast her gaze downward, exhaling a quiet sigh. It was inevitable that she would not be able to escape from this particular topic of conversation.
Samuel kept his expression neutral when he explained, "Things didn't work out between Tessa and Stephen, so the engagement was cancelled."
Gerard Yates, one of Tessa's uncles, asked, "I heard that Stephen is dating a female celebrity now. Is it true?"
Tessa couldn't help but inwardly judge him. Gerard was a man, so why was he being so nosy?
"I don't know," Samuel answered. "Since he broke off his engagement to Tessa, we haven't been paying attention to what he's been doing."
Mabel chimed in again. "Could it be that Stephen was already cheating on Tessa when they were still together? It's not unheard of amongst the young heirs born in prestigious families to get involved with different celebrities and models."
With a smile fixed on her face, Marianne quickly changed the topic. "Mabel, your handbag looks amazing. I've seen it in a magazine. It's a limited edition, right?"
Mabel directed her pleased gaze toward the handbag in question. "Yes, it is. I fell in love with it from the first moment I laid eyes on it. It looks incredible, right?"
"It does," Marianne agreed with a smile. "I want to buy one for myself too."
"I think this model is out of stock in the country. I only got mine yesterday. If you're interested, I can ask around for you."
"That sounds great. Thank you for your help."
Marianne had successfully changed the topic of conversation, but she had no way of knowing that Mabel was a naturally nosy person. Mabel was only distracted for a moment before she steered the conversation back to the topic of Stephen and Tessa's canceled engagement.
"Where were we earlier?" Mabel pondered to herself before continuing. "Did you cancel the engagement with the Jacobsons after Tessa found out that Stephen was fooling around with other women?"

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...
