Chapter 267

The dark expression of those in the living room lightened slightly upon hearing Stephen's answer. Sophia asked, "Are you saying you already have a plan in mind?" Stephen nodded and explained his plan to them in detail. After he was done, Rowena still had a frown on her face and said, "It's still too risky. You're the Jacobson family's only heir. I refuse to allow you to take such a risk!" "Yes, Stephen. You can't go. In my opinion, we should just call the cops and leave Tessa's rescue to them. James will definitely kill you if you go," Jacqueline piped up. Stephen's face turned stone cold. His gaze was piercing and filled with warning. "I said—no calling the police." "I'm just worried about you, Stephen," Jacqueline murmured, feeling aggrieved. She sounded as if she was one more glare away from crying. She was partly pretending, but not entirely; she was genuinely afraid that Stephen wouldn't survive the ordeal. Stephen ignored Jacqueline and turned to Caleb, Sophia, and Rowena.
