The police officer put the phone on speaker before he pretended to be one of the thugs. He spoke as if he was familiar with the man on the other end of the line, trying to get him to take the bait. "We're so sorry, Mr. Shaw! We enjoyed ourselves too much last night, so we forgot to send the video to you."
Fortunately, his plan worked perfectly. Simon didn't suspect a thing. "Hurry and send me the video! I'm going to ruin that bitch, Marissa's life! Did you do as I ordered and get six men to assault her?"
"Of course," the officer replied smoothly. "I'll send the video to you now."
"Hurry up!" Simon repeated one last time before disconnecting the call.
Tessa and Marissa exchanged a look with each other. Perhaps Simon was unfamiliar with the owner of the phone, since they might just be working together temporarily.
It would explain why he didn't realize that the officer's voice was different compared to the phone's owner. His stupidity was rather astounding.
The officers did a quick search in their public security system to identify the user who was registered to the phone number. "The number belongs to a man named Simon Shaw. Ring any bells?"
"Simon Shaw!" Marissa exclaimed with wide eyes. "He used to be a deputy manager for one of my company's projects. I fired him a few days ago."
"The pieces have all fallen into place, then. The thugs were hired by Simon to assault you. That best friend of yours is probably involved in his scheme too," Tessa said.
"How can this be…" Marissa mumbled to herself, crestfallen. "Why would Janey betray me? I treat her so well, so why would she do this to me?"
…
Simon sat on his couch and waited impatiently for his hired men to send the video of Marissa's assault to him.

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...
