Tessa lowered her gaze and said sadly, "My dad wants me to break up with Stephen, but I don't want to."

Molly and Jasmine exchanged looks.

Jasmine and Molly had been there when James' men had attacked Tessa for revenge, and they had nearly died in the attack.

Luckily, Wynn had been with them at the time.

Molly and Jasmine still had a lingering sense of fear whenever they thought about that incident.

Hence, when Tessa heard Jasmine's question, she nodded and replied, "Yes. That very illegitimate son had Arcton's prime minister backing him from behind the scenes. Needless to say, the guy had a lot of power.

Jasmine said, "That's understandable."
