Sleep eluded Tessa that night. The contents of the recording kept repeating in her mind. The person supporting Jacqueline was none other than James.

Tessa wasn’t sure how many of the Jacobson family’s secrets Jacqueline knew as their adopted daughter. She had also never asked Stephen in detail if Jacqueline held a position in Jacobson Corporation.

If she did have a position and was privy to Jacobson Corporation’s trade secrets, she would most likely leak those secrets to James. It would be extremely detrimental to Jacobson Corporation if that happened.

After all, James loathed the Jacobsons. Everything he had done in the past was to take revenge on Stephen. Tessa couldn’t understand why Jacqueline would help James when she was in love with Stephen. Could it be that James had promised her something in exchange for her help?

Tessa tossed and turned in bed as these thoughts bounced around in her head. She only started feeling sleepy when dawn began to break on the horizon.

It was already afternoon when she woke up next. Tessa sat up on the bed and glanced at the clock on her phone. It was 2:00 pm. She ruffled her hair in annoyance before sighing wearily.

When she had met up with Felix the day before, he had given her an envelope of printed photographs while also sending the digital versions to use as proof.

After she freshened up, Tessa attached all the digital proof that Felix had sent to her in an email before sending it to Stephen. She had ultimately decided to help him. After all, he had saved Seline. Besides, he had risked his life and blocked a knife that was meant for Tessa. She couldn’t just stand by and abandon him to the wolves.

Jacqueline by herself wasn’t a threat to Stephen, but James was a different story. Tessa was well aware of the overwhelming power that he wielded in Arcton.

Furthermore, Stephen treated James as his rival. If Jacqueline continued to work as a mole for James to tear down the Jacobsons, not only would Jacobson Corporation be impacted, but Stephen’s life may also be at risk.

Tessa looked at another email she had received after sending the email to Stephen. It was from the investigator she had asked to look into Gomez Group’s internal documents. Thus, the email had also been titled as such. She opened the email and scrolled through it quickly.

She noticed that Gomez Group’s stocks had changed hands, and the investigator had also included detailed information about the main stockholder.

Tessa looked through the information a few times and frowned when she recalled what Zachary had told her-James had ordered one of his men, Cayden, to invest in Gomez Group.

The information revealed that the main stockholder was an

investment company from abroad instead of just Cayden. She wondered if Cayden was the one

who established the the line

company. Since he had been arrested, the

companies that he controlled within the country had been investigated. However, the police had no jurisdiction over a foreign company, which ended up benefiting Zachary.

Tessa received a notification on her computer that informed her she had a new email. She clicked open the email and realized with a start that it was from Stephen. He informed her that he had also discovered that Jacqueline and Zachary were in cahoots, and that Jacqueline was James’ lackey.

Tessa sighed in relief. It was good that he had managed to discover the same things that she did. She typed out a long reply and was about to hit send when she suddenly hesitated.

It was up to Stephen to decide how to deal with Jacqueline since she was the Jacobsons’ adopted daughter and also Stephen’s younger sister. Most importantly, Jacqueline was harboring unspeakable feelings for Stephen.

Since Stephen had discovered the truth about Jacqueline working for James, surely he had to know how Jacqueline felt toward him. Would his heart soften at the revelation? After all, Jacqueline had been his younger sister for over a decade at this point. Would he let her off the hook if she turned her teary eyes on him?

Tessa realized that she could suddenly feel a heaviness pressing down on her heart.
