Zachary was thrown out by the bodyguards, where Yanis and Wendy were anxiously waiting.
Yanis was on the verge of tears. She cried, "Zachary, what are we going to do now? Have we offended the Somerton family? What about the investment?"
Wendy was equally as anxious. "The Somerton family has such extensive influence. Do you think they'll take revenge on us?"
Though they chattered on, Zachary couldn't seem to hear a word they were saying.
He was like a lifeless doll, walking mechanically with a blank expression on his face.
…
After the banquet ended, Stephen drove Tessa back to her apartment.
Standing at the entrance downstairs, Tessa said hesitantly, "About what happened today…"
Stephen stood before her, gently tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear.
He said in a low voice that was tinged with sadness, "Zachary said that if you had told him your real identity sooner, both of you might already be married and living a happy life. I'll admit, at that moment, I was genuinely worried. What if you—"
"There's no 'what if.'" Tessa stopped him from saying further. She met his dark gaze and said earnestly, "Stephen, don't worry about things that didn't happen. Besides, I have never actually thought of marrying Zachary."
Stephen's eyes instantly lit up. "Really?"
Tessa nodded with a smile. "Yup."
The night breeze blew past, causing Tessa to tremble slightly from the chill. Nevertheless, her eyes still sparkled brightly. "In the past, I never thought about marrying Zachary. But now, I'm really looking forward to our engagement party."
Stephen slipped off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He then pulled her into his embrace and gently said, "I'm looking forward to it too."
…
Zachary eventually left the estate and drove off alone. No one knew where he had gone off to.
Meanwhile, Wendy drove Yanis back to the hotel.

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...
