Chapter 71
"This bitch can really run!" Jimmy huffed as he followed closely behind.
Stephen pulled Tessa behind him and glared at the two men before him.
"Are you Mr... Mr. Jacobson?" Jimmy abruptly stopped in his tracks, his face draining of color.
When Timothy saw Stephen shielding Tessa behind his back, he instantly knew he was in deep trouble.
He hadn't expected Tessa to know someone as powerful as Stephen. Everyone in the Rivertown business world
fawned over the Jacobson family.
Timothy and Jimmy were presidents of their respective companies. While they were in no position to form direct
ties with the Jacobsons, they did recognize the heir and president of Jacobson Corporation. Stephen's jaw
tightened, an oppressive air radiating from him.

Timothy immediately revealed a smile. "Mr. Jacobson, do you know Ms. Yates?"
Stephen didn't bother answering. He had already heard enough of their vulgar words to understand their
intentions.
He gave his bodyguard a subtle nod. The four bodyguards immediately understood and quickly pinned Timothy
and Jimmy down.
Tessa began to relay everything that had happened earlier. After hearing her explanation, Stephen grabbed her
hand and said gently, "I'll take you home."
Tessa quietly followed him out, but after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but glance back. "What are you
planning to do with them?"
Stephen's voice was cold. "I'm going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget."
Tessa got into the car with Stephen.
The driver didn't expect Stephen to return so quickly and asked, "Mr. Jacobson, would you like to head back
now?"
"To Marina Apartment," Stephen
replied. Then, as if he suddenly
thought of something, he turned his head toward Tessa. "Why didn't you bring the bodyguards | arranged for
you?"
Tessa paused. She never thought she'd encounter such sleazy men like Timothy and Jimmy at a simple business
meeting. Feeling a little guilty she mumbled, "I... | didn' expect something like this to happen..."
Stephen sighed. "Remember to bring them with you next time."
Tessa nodded. "I will."
At Starlight Club, the bodyguards threw Timothy and Jimmy into the private room and slammed the door behind

Timothy immediately fell to his
knees and pleaded, "Please! | know | was wrong! I didn't know Ms. Yates belonged to Mr. Jacobson. | won't ever
do it again. Please just letgol
Jimmy was equally as terrified and couldn't stop his legs from shaking. "I also know | was wrong! Please forgive
me!"
The bodyguards wasted no tand went straight to work.
"Ahh!"
"Help! Help-"
The four bodyguards took turns delivering their blows. The agonizing screams of both Timothy and Jimmy echoed
through the private room until they eventually faded into silence.
