Yasmin saw the knife in the criminal's hand coming straight toward her. In a panic, she grabbed a nearby person and shoved them in front of her as a shield.
The unlucky person she grabbed was Jasmine, whose face turned ghostly pale. Trembling like a leaf, tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, revealing her overwhelming fear.
The ruthless criminal thrust the knife toward Jasmine, who shut her eyes tightly, giving up all resistance.
However, the expected pain never came. Instead, the surrounding crowd gasped in shock.
Jasmine cautiously opened her eyes, only to be left speechless by the scene before her.
Tessa, empty-handed, was locked in a fierce struggle with the criminal.
The man, brandishing a knife and clearly unhinged, attacked wildly, slashing and stabbing in every direction. Tessa dodged and weaved, avoiding critical blows as she did. But she was still cut on her arm, leaving a bloody wound in its wake.
Crimson blood seeped out immediately, staining her white shirt.
The criminal roared in rage, "You're asking for it!" and lunged at her with the knife again.
Gritting her teeth against the pain, Tessa sidestepped the blade and grabbed the criminal's wrist, twisting it forcefully.
The sound of a loud crack was followed by the man's scream of agony. Overwhelmed by pain, the criminal instinctively released the knife, letting it clatter to the ground.
Tessa kicked the knife far away. A male colleague quickly stepped forward to retrieve it. Without the deadly threat of the knife, the criminal stood no chance against Tessa.
She delivered a series of punches, making him howl in pain. Then, with a swift kick, she struck his head hard. The man staggered, disoriented and unsteady.
Before he could recover, Tessa launched a flurry of kicks, finishing with a shoulder throw that slammed him forcefully to the ground.
The surrounding onlookers gasped and murmured in astonishment. No one had expected the quiet, demure-looking Tessa to be so fierce and powerful in a fight.
After completely subduing the criminal, Tessa finally stood down just as the ambulance and police arrived on the scene.
The criminal was taken away, and Tom, who lay in a pool of blood, was also carried off by paramedics. Only then did the shaken colleagues dare to approach Tessa.

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...
