"Why? Why can you have his love, but not me?" A fierce and malicious gaze could be seen from Susan as she quickly rushed toward Tessa, the knife in her hand poised to strike.
They were only a few steps apart now, and Tessa had her back to Susan. She was completely unaware of Susan's movements.
Due to the short distance, Susan was swift. Stephen, who was holding Tessa in his arms, was momentarily distracted. To protect her, he had to push Tessa away before countering Susan.
Alas, it was too late.
Even though he was skilled, he couldn't push Tessa away and counter Susan in such a brief moment.
As the knife came stabbing, Stephen's eyes widened in alarm.
All he could do was turn his body slightly while holding Tessa, taking the stab for her.
The moment the knife sunk into his flesh, he let out a muffled groan.
"No!" Susan's scream tore through the sky.
She staggered back a couple steps, unable to believe what happened.
"Why?" Susan roared hoarsely. "Stephen! Why do you care so much about her, even if it means your life?"
The pungent smell of blood was in the air, and Tessa belatedly realized what happened.
She stepped back from Stephen's arms, her gaze lowering to the knife embedded in his waist.
In an instant, all color drained from her face.
"Stephen!" she cried out in alarm, tears streaming uncontrollably.
At that moment, a group of men ran through the rooftop door and quickly approached.
Well-trained bodyguards restrained Susan in no time at all.
Tessa wept like a child while holding Stephen.
"I am so sorry, Stephen. I am so sorry… " Tessa sobbed like a broken record. "It's all my fault… I shouldn't have come up here alone to find her… "
She had initially planned to obey the masked assailant's instructions, exchange herself for Seline, and then find an opportunity to subdue her once Seline was safe.
She wasn't acting recklessly; she had her own plan in mind.

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...
