Chapter 45
Stephen stood surrounded by a group of men in polished suits.
The private room where Tessa had dined in was on the first floor. From the looks of it, Stephen seemed to have just finished his meal and came downstairs.
Stephen walked closer as he spoke.
Tessa greeted him with a smile. “Stephen, what a coincidence. I’m treating my colleagues to dinner here tonight.”
stephen knew Tessa had joined Shelton Law Fin.
He nodded slightly. “How was your test day? Are you settling in well?” he asked, his expression gentle.
“Mm, everything’s fine,” Tessareplied. She left out the part where Yasmin and a few colleagues took advantage of her generosity.
“Is your dinner ending soon? I can give you a ride home,” Stephen offered.
Tessa shook her head. “It’s still early. You go ahead tist.”
“Alright. This place is far from your home. Did you arrange for the driver to pick you up?
“No, I plan to stay at the apartment nearby tonight,” she replied.
“okay. Be careful, Tess,”
After she hummed her response and said goodbye to Stephen, Tessa returned to the private room
When dinner ended, she went to the cashier to settle the bill, only to be informed that it had already been paid for.
Who else could it have been but Stephen?
She took out her phone and sent him a message.
“Thanks, Stephen.”
His teply came almost immediately. “There’s no need to thank me.”
Another message followed. “Tess, are you done? I’m waiting at the open parking lot to the left of the exit. I feel uneasy about you going home alone at night.” Warth spread through Tessa’s chest as she read his text.
“I’m almost done. I’ll come shortly,” she replied.

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...
