Could it have been Zachary? That seemed unlikely. He did not know her current address.
This apartment was a recent gift from Samuel, and aside from her family, only her two closest friends knew where she lived.
But the store assistant had said that a man had sent the gift.
Tessa could not make sense of it.
After a moment of contemplation, she placed the necklace back into the gift box and called the store again to ask if it could be returned for a refund.
She had no intention of keeping it. The money should be refunded to the original buyer's account.
The store assistant explained that a refund was possible, but the purchaser would have to come to the store in person to process it.
Tessa let out a sigh of frustration. If she knew who had bought it, would she have needed to call and ask?
But she reminded herself that the assistant was just an employee and not at fault. After a few polite words, she ended the call.
With little thought, she tossed the necklace box into the storage cabinet.

At Sienna's villa, Naomi held the brand-new handbag she had just received, admiring it with undisguised delight.
Sienna, however, looked slightly guilty. "Naomi, are we really doing the right thing?"
Naomi waved off her concern. "It's fine. Stephen broke up with Tess to protect her. It's not like he actually cheated. You know Nancy is just his cousin, right?"
"He didn't fall out of love, but breaking up still hurt Tess. As her best friends, aren't we kind of betraying her by doing this?"
"Oh, come on. All we did was give him her address. Stephen knows what he's doing. He won't do anything reckless, so there's no need to worry."
Sienna frowned. "If Tess finds out we sent her flowers out of guilt, do you think she'll be mad?"
Naomi coughed awkwardly. "What are you talking about? It wasn't guilt. The flowers were… a symbol of friendship! That's it. A symbol of friendship!" She nodded firmly as if trying to convince herself.
Sienna was left speechless.
"Naomi, didn't you just say two days ago that Tess and Lester made a good match? Why are you suddenly siding with Stephen again on Valentine's Day?"
"He paid more. Besides, Stephen genuinely loves Tess, and we've known him for so long. Helping him out a little is not a big deal, right?" Naomi replied matter-of-factly.

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...
