"Ms. Yates, you're telling me that Wynn took down all those men by herself last night?" Marissa asked with wide eyes.
Tessa nodded. "That's right. Wynn's official title is my assistant, but she's actually my personal bodyguard, whom my father hired for me. She's very skilled at fighting."
Wynn was standing to the side at that moment, though her expression remained perfectly neutral.
Marissa looked at Wynn, surprise and disbelief flickering in her eyes. "That's amazing! She must be so strong! Where can I find a female bodyguard who's as awesome as she is? I'd like to hire one too."
"My father hired her from overseas," Tessa replied with a smile.
Marissa explained, "My family's bodyguards are all men, so it's a little inconvenient to have them following me at all times."
Tessa finally realized the oddity of last night's situation upon hearing her words. "That's right. Why were you alone at the bar last night? Where was your bodyguard?"
An uncomfortable expression appeared on Marissa's face. She mumbled, "If I tell you, will you beat me up?"
Tessa didn't have a clue what Marissa was talking about. "Why would I beat you up?" she answered, amused.
"I…" Marissa lowered her eyes, feeling embarrassed. "A friend of mine called me last night and told me that she saw Stevie at that bar. It's been hard to even catch a glimpse of him recently, so…
"As for my bodyguard, I don't usually have one with me when I leave the house."
Marissa snuck a glance to gauge Tessa's reaction when she was done explaining herself. "I… Although I am very grateful to you for saving me, I still want you to know that I'm serious about Stevie! He's the only one I've loved for all these years. I won't give up on him that easily!"
Tessa burst into a fit of laughter. "Actually, you don't need to tell me about what's going on between you and him," she said.
Marissa pursed her lips together and mumbled, "Maybe it's because you're the one who saved me, but I've been feeling this weird sensation in my chest. It feels like I'm wronging you for loving Stevie."

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...
