Jacqueline's face turned white as a sheet. "Is it the Jacobsons? Do they want me dead?"
As they spoke, their enemy had taken the time to shatter the white sedan's windshield violently.
"Ms. Sanders, I'll hold them off. Run!" Peter yelled as he rushed to fight their assailants head-on.
Another round of gunfire erupted because of his actions.
Jacqueline frantically opened the car door, kicked her heels off, and ran for her life.
The individuals Stephen had sent after her head were experienced mercenaries who had spent years training abroad. Each of them was highly skilled in combat.
Although Peter was a well-trained bodyguard with excellent skills, he stood no chance against these mercenaries.
Hence, Peter was quickly subdued.
He had been shot twice, once in the thigh and another in his left arm. Sure enough, the ground ran red with his blood.
The assailants' leader ordered, "Take him away. We don't want him dead."
A blond Arcton mercenary came over within minutes, dragging Jacqueline with him. "Target acquired."
Jacqueline kicked her legs wildly and struggled against his grip, spitting curses, "Let me go, you bastards! Let go!"
The leader didn't hesitate to slap her across the face hard. Jacqueline's cheek swelled as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"Shut up. Keep talking, and I'll rip your tongue out." The leader didn't bother raising his voice. However, his menacing demeanor and the tone he used held a certain merciless quality to it.
Jacqueline was caught off guard by his brutality and was frightened by his words. So, she obediently held her tongue and dared not put up a fight.
Since these men didn't kill her on sight, that meant that Stephen had no intention of killing her just yet. Therefore, these people were only tasked to capture her.
As expected, they merely tied Jacqueline up, sealed her mouth with tape, and covered her head with a bag before tossing her into the back of the pickup truck.

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...
