Two weeks had passed since the last time Tessa saw Stephen. It was only when Marissa stopped by the law firm to discuss her case did she find out what he was up to.
Marissa told her that Stephen was out of the country to handle some business at the company's overseas branches.
Tessa had been up to her elbows in work in the last two weeks, so she didn't have the time or mental capacity to think about anything else. She had already filed the two Jacobson Corporation cases, and they were scheduled to be heard in court next month.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Yanis' divorce case was scheduled to take place next Thursday.
After they were done with work for the day, Tessa, Wynn, Jasmine, and Molly dropped by a steakhouse near the firm to have dinner together. After their meals were served, they chatted with each other while enjoying the delicious food.
The apartment Jasmine was currently renting was near Shelton Law Firm. Since the lease was almost up, she had been busy looking for a new place to stay. Coincidentally, Molly was also looking for a bigger apartment to live in.
She said, "Why don't we rent a place together? I've been wanting to move to a bigger place recently. We can rent a two-bedroom apartment if we move in together."
Jasmine pursed her lips together and mumbled incoherently to herself.
"What's wrong?" Molly asked, shooting a curious glance at Jasmine. "You don't want to rent a place with me?"
Jasmine took a sip of her drink before she answered, looking rather uncomfortable. "It's not like that, Molly. It's not that I don't want to rent a place with you. It's just that I… I…"
"You what?" Molly looked at her, amused. "Cat's got your tongue?"
A bright blush dusted across Jasmine's face when she finally said, "My boyfriend and I are planning to live together."
Molly stared at her in shock, her jaw going slack. The piece of steak that she was about to put into her mouth tumbled back onto the plate. "What did you say? You're moving in with your boyfriend?"
Surprise was also etched all over Tessa's face as she looked at Jasmine. "You got together with Lucas?"
Jasmine's face was as red as a beet as she hummed her reply.
"How long have the two of you been together?"
Jasmine pursed her lips before answering, "It's going to be three months soon."
Molly's brow furrowed upon hearing her answer. She said, "Jasmine, why are you in a rush to move in with him when you've only been together for three months? You should take more time to get to know him better first."

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...
