"I just ran into a complete lunatic," Tessa said.
Jasmine widened her eyes in shock. "What lunatic? What happened?"
Tessa didn't want to talk about it. "Forget him. He's nothing but trouble."
Molly glanced over. "Are you hurt, Tessa?"
Tessa gave a slight shake of her head, her expression cold. "I'm fine."
Jasmine and Molly exchanged a look. Understanding her mood, they didn't press further.
Jasmine gently tugged Tessa's arm like a child seeking attention. "Tessa, I just sang a song, and Molly said I was off-key. I don't believe it. I'm going to sing it again, and you tell me if I was off."
She was clearly trying to change the subject, hoping to take Tessa's mind off what had just happened.
Tessa's cold expression eased slightly, and a small smile tugged at her lips. "Alright. Let me hear it."
"Okay, here goes."
To make Tessa laugh, Jasmine deliberately exaggerated her pitch and tone. The song turned into something reminiscent of an elementary school poetry recital.
Tessa immediately saw through her intentions. Her heart warmed, and she laughed out loud, genuinely amused.
After a few rounds of laughter, her mood lightened. She even let Jasmine coax her into having two glasses of fruit wine.
When the gathering ended, everyone left the private lounge together.
Outside, in the open-air parking lot of the club, Lester walked over with concern in his eyes.
"Tessa, you've had a few drinks. Let me drive you home."
The wine she drank was low in alcohol. Two glasses weren't enough to get her drunk. Her eyes were still clear, and her tone polite.
"Thank you, Mr. Cooper, but I'm going back with Wynn. She didn't drink, so she can drive us."
Standing nearby, Wynn raised the car keys in her hand as proof.

I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
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....
