Chapter 128
Tessa said softly, “He came to tell me that you were with Susan last night. He even accused you of sending people to kidnap Susan from the police. He tried to mislead me, wanting me to suspect that Susan had gotten pregnant with your child,”
“What did your heart tell you?” Stephen asked gently.
“To be honest with you, my hands were trembling from how worried I was. I was scared that you really betrayed me. he was trying to intentionally ruin our relationship. I trust that you wouldn’t betray me.
But… after th
thinking things through, I assumed
Tessa sounded a little sorrowful as she quietly added, “Who could have thought that Susan would be assassinated last night…” Stephen patted Tessa’s back to comfort her. “It’s okay, Tess. It doesn’t matter if you doubted me. I would have come to you and explained everything. Of course, I’m happy that you decided to trust me. As for Susan… I didn’t think she’d end up like this either.”
too. I don’t think
“Susan… Was she perhaps being coerced? When she kidnapped Seline, I saw how her hand shook when she held the dagger. She looked so scared to she’s a bad person at heart.”
Stephen made a noise of agreement. “Yes, she was being coerced,”
Tessa held Stephen tighter. “Stephen, the person pulling the strings from behind the scenes is a psychopath. They kill other people without even batting an eye. You have to be careful,”
He gritted his jaw, his eyes flashing sharply. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be careful.”
As Stephen left Tessa’s apartment, he threw the bag of breakfast into the downstairs trash can. He ordered his men to do a check on Zachary. It didn’t take long before the investigation was complete.
Zachary had spent a small fortune purchasing Tessa’s address from a property company. Stephen immediately ordered his men to sue the company and bring the company’s president to him.
The president was Robert Scarron, a man who looked to be in his os. He had no idea that misfortune was about to befall him, assuming that Stephen had sought him out because he wanted to work with him.
Stephen had no time to personally entertain small fries lilor Robert. He left the job to his assistant, Samson
Robert was all smiles when he met Samson. “Mr. Lohan, did Mr. Jacobson want to meet with me today to discuss a potential partnership with my company?” Samson looked at Robert cynically. “Do you really think that Jacobson Corporation would work with a company that sells the information of their clients for their own gain?”
Robert’s expression twisted uncomfortably. It looked as if he had been submerged in a pool of ice water. “What? What do you mean?”
Samson threw the investigation documents at Robert. “I suggest you take a good look at these, Mr. Scarron. These are the evidence that your company has been selling the information of your clients. Mr. Jacobson wants you to know exactly why your company will be dissolving soon.”
his forehead, “There…
With trembling hands, Robert packed up the documents and flipped through them. His face turned as white as a sheet, cold sweat beading on his There must be some sort of misunderstanding. I. I’ll send my staff to find out the truth!”
“There’s no need,” Samson interrupted, grinning. “We’ve already gotten all the evidence that we need. We low that you’re the main benefactor in your little information–selling business The huge sum that Zachary paid to your company has hostly found its way into your pockets.
“We wanted to give you a heads–up that we’re currently preparing to sue you. From today onward, you’ll face all sorts of challenges. You might e completely bankrupt. Just remember, you brought this on yourself.”

up
Robert was pale with fright. His legs were weak, and his voice trembled as he begged, “Please. Please tell Mr. Jacobson to give me a chancel I’ll change for the better. I. I’m willing to give half of my assets to Mr. Jacobson to show my sincerity!”
Samson laughed condescendingly. “Do you really think that Mr. Jacobson wants your assets? Let me be frank with you. The information that you sold to Zachary? It belonged to Mrs Jacobson Do you understand the gravity of the situation now?”
The color drained from Robert’s face. The last bit of hope he had left was cruelly souled out.
