Tessa stared at Yasmin with piercing eyes, as though trying to burn a hole through her.
"Yasmin, you should be grateful that I was there today. If I hadn't intervened and Jasmine had died at the hands of the criminal, there would have been blood on your hands."
Yasmin bit her bottom lip in silence, her face drained of all color.
At that moment, Jasmine spoke with concern, "Ms. Yates, your wound is still bleeding. You should go to the hospital to get it treated."
Tessa had indeed been injured. Although it wasn't life-threatening, she had lost a significant amount of blood. Her entire left sleeve was now stained red.
She ignored Yasmin entirely, turned around, and left the law firm to go to the hospital.
After having her wound treated, Tessa went to pay for her medication. As she turned a corner, she ran into Wendy.
Wendy's face tightened with displeasure as she asked coldly, "Tessa? What are you doing here?"
It surprised her to see Wendy in Rivertown with Zachary. Then again, it made sense. Zachary always took Wendy with him wherever he went. Coming to Rivertown, he was unlikely to leave her behind in Haverford.
Not wanting to waste words on Wendy, Tessa stepped around her.
Wendy glared at Tessa's retreating figure, her expression filled with resentment.
"Tessa, you truly are a ghost that haunts me," Wendy thought.
Almost instantly, her mind drifted to Zachary.
They hadn't finished their trip to Rovanya when Zachary suddenly booked a flight to Rivertown. Was it because of Tessa? Could his injury from last night also be related to her?
The more she thought about it, the tighter Wendy clenched her fists.
…
Stephen called the moment he learned from the news that there had been an incident at Shelton Law Firm.
"Tess, I just saw on the news that there was trouble at your firm and that someone was stabbed. Are you okay? Where are you right now? I'll come find you."
Carrying a bag of medication, Tessa spoke into her phone while waiting for the elevator. "I'm fine. I'm at the hospital where you're admitted. I'll stop by your room to check on you."
Stephen sounded anxious. "Are you hurt badly?"

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...
