Tears welled up in Jacqueline's eyes as she looked at Rowena. "Grandma…"
Rowena turned to look at Stephen before looking back at Jacqueline.
With a sigh, she said, "It's alright, Jacqueline. Since that incident at the equestrian center was a misunderstanding, explain it again in front of everyone. I trust that Tessa is not someone unreasonable."
Considering Rowena had made such a statement, no one else dared to step in to shield Jacqueline.
Sniffling, Jacqueline put on an aggrieved look and said, "That day at the center, I asked Tessa to teach me how to ride a horse.
"Everything had been going well at first, but then the horse suddenly went wild, and I-I fell off and got hurt."
Everyone already knew that part of the story, but judging by Stephen's tone from earlier, it seemed like there was more to the story.
No one interrupted her while they simply waited for her to continue.
Jacqueline glanced at Stephen nervously, but his gaze was so sharp that it frightened her.
So, she murmured, "It really was just a misunderstanding. At that time, I thought Tessa didn't like me and had deliberately provoked the horse to hurt me.
"But later, I found out that the horse had a wound on its neck. It was likely that it had gotten hurt before it was brought out for me to ride. I must have accidentally pressed on its wound, causing it to go berserk."
She turned to look at Tessa with teary and sad eyes. "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, Tessa. I shouldn't have assumed the worst about you. Will you forgive me?"
Tessa frowned at her but said nothing.
Sophia approached Jacqueline at this moment. "Jacqueline, how could you think of Tessa in such a bad light? Why would she possibly try to harm you?"
Stephen's father, Caleb Jacobson, who was also Jacqueline's adoptive father, also looked displeased. "If you wanted to learn horseback riding, why didn't you enroll in a proper equestrian course?
"Not only did you fail to learn, but you also got yourself injured and caused such a misunderstanding with your future sister-in-law."
Jacqueline felt a deep sense of jealousy in her heart upon hearing Caleb say the words "sister-in-law".
She suppressed her emotions and said softly, "I know I was wrong."
Stephen's voice turned cold. "Didn't you also claim that Tessa kicked the horse hard that day, causing it to go wild? Why are you leaving that part out now?"
Without waiting for her to respond, Stephen turned to his parents.

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...
