Carla's face alternated between red and pale with anger.
Tessa gently held Carla's hand, silently comforting the latter. She tilted her head slightly, a faint, mocking smile on her lips as she looked at Yanis.
"What's shameful about being a housekeeper? It's honest work. Earning money with your own hands, not stealing or cheating, is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"On the contrary, I think it's far more shameful for someone like you. Talentless, living off your husband's money, spending your days playing poker, indulging in beauty treatments, and hoarding health supplements. That's what I call shameful."
"You!" Yanis pointed a trembling finger at Tessa, her face betraying her rage.
Wendy hurried to pat Yanis' back, soothing her. "Mrs. Gomez, don't take her nonsense to heart. Don't let her upset you."
Then, she turned, her expression dripping with disdain, and addressed Tessa. "Tessa, a housekeeper's daughter is still just that. This banquet was organized by Mr. Somerton for his cousin, and the guests here are all high-society elites. You, a penniless nobody, shouldn't be embarrassing yourself here."
Tessa's radiant smile only widened. "Oh? High-society elites? Then how did small-timers like your family manage to get in?"
Wendy's composure completely shattered. Her anger boiled over.
"You're calling my family small-timers? You, a housekeeper's daughter, dare to look down on me?"
"Aw, still trying to ingratiate yourself with the Somerton family? With your family's status, you don't even qualify to be their watchdog." Tessa arched an eyebrow, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Wendy jabbed a furious finger at Tessa's face, her voice shaking with rage. "Are you crazy? You're taking out your failure with Zachary on me? Hah, you couldn't keep a man, so now all you do is play word games with me."
Tessa chuckled lightly. "Zachary got into a fight and ended up in the hospital for me. Didn't you know?"
Wendy froze, utterly stunned. So, Zachary's injuries a few days ago were indeed because of 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...
