With a smile, Tessa picked up her handbag and handed it to Wendy. "Here you go. Feel free to search it."
Wendy froze, caught off guard by Tessa's straightforwardness. Could it be that Tessa had discovered the bracelet and removed it beforehand?
Wendy hesitated, glancing up at Tessa. A faint, cryptic smile played on her lips, unsettling and unreadable.
As the bag was handed over, Wendy hesitated. A sense of dread gripped her, as if she were about to walk straight into a trap set by Tessa.
While she hesitated, Yanis suddenly grabbed the bag from Tessa, unzipped it, and turned it upside down, dumping its contents onto the ground.
The Van Cleef & Arpels blue agate bracelet tumbled out, landing with a light clink.
Yanis snatched up the bracelet and demanded angrily, "You say you didn't steal it? What's this, then? And that Chanel bag of yours—isn't it stolen too?"
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
Wendy let out a breath of relief when she saw the bracelet fall out of Tessa's bag. This particular handbag had gaps on either side of the zipper, making it easy for Wendy to slip the bracelet inside earlier. Luckily, it seemed Tessa hadn't noticed.
Just as Wendy was about to accuse her further, the crowd suddenly parted to form a path.
"What's going on here?" Uriah walked into the room, his brows furrowed.
Who would dare steal at the Somerton family's home? Were they tired of living?
"It's her, Mr. Somerton! She stole my bracelet. You have to defend me!" Wendy pointed at Tessa, her voice filled with anger.

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...
