Stephen ran to catch up to her, but a man appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path.
The man collided head-on with Stephen, spilling wine all over him.
Stephen had no time to deal with him. He was tense as he tried to move past the man.
The man, however, stood in his way and repeatedly apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jacobson. I didn't mean it. How about I take your clothes to be dry cleaned?"
"It's fine." Stephen stepped to the side to bypass him.
But the man mirrored his movement. "Mr. Jacobson, I am terribly sorry. Please don't be angry with me."
Stephen became furious and shouted, "Get out of my way!"
The man rubbed his nose and stepped aside.
Stephen then hurried to the lift and saw the numbers on the display changing rapidly.
His heart sank. The lift had already reached the ninth floor.
Even if he took the lift next to it immediately, he wouldn't make it in time.
As if realizing something, Stephen spun around to look in the direction the man disappeared to.
But the man was nowhere to be seen.
Stephen's expression turned grim. That man had done it on purpose!
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner near the estate's side entrance, a nondescript Audi parked there.
The man who had bumped into Stephen opened the driver's side door and got in. "Ms. Sanders, it's done."
Jacqueline leaned back in the rear seat with her eyes closed. "Let's go."
As he drove, he glanced at Jacqueline in the rear mirror. "Shouldn't we wait for Ms. Mondez?"
Jacqueline let out a mocking laugh. "If we wait for that foolish girl, none of us would get out of here today."
At the same time, Tessa exited the lift and rushed straight for the rooftop terrace.

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...
