"Quick! Get Mrs. Jacobson Senior''s medicine!" Caleb shouted at the servants.


    One of them rushed off immediately.


    Stephen''s voice was calm but firm. "Since Grandma wants to call the police, let''s call them. I''d like to know who leaked the information too. How did James find out where Tessa was? And how did he know the real reason behind our breakup and the canceled engagement?"


    As he spoke, his sharp gazended on Jacqueline. "You. Stay right here and wait for the police."


    Jacqueline''s eyes welled up with tears. "Stephen, how can you not believe me? When your life was on the line, do you really think I would betray you?"


    Before Stephen could respond, Rowena''s furious voice cut through the tension. "Samuel, get out! Get out of this house! The Jacobson family doesn''t wee you!" Her re was filled with rage.


    Stephen''s voice was cold. "Grandma, that''s enough."


    He still called her "Grandma", but his tone left no room for argument. It was an order not a plea.


    Rowena felt her heart sink as she realized her beloved grandson was siding with Tessa and speaking to her in such a tone.


    "I''m not going anywhere," Samuel shot back, ring at Rowena. "Call the police! I''ll wait for them to uncover the truth."


    Caleb stepped in to mediate. "Enough. We''re all family here. Let''s all calm down."


    He turned to Rowena and continued, "Mom, don''t get so worked up. You''ll risk getting a heart attack. Why don''t you go upstairs and rest? Stephen and I can handle this."


    "Yes, Mom. Go and rest," Sophia added.


    Rowena snapped, "No. I''m staying right here. I want the police to and get to the bottom of


    Tessa to apologize to this.me


    Tessa let out a coldugh. "Apologize? Not a chance."


    Jacqueline''s tears fell silently. She shed a sorrowful expression and said, "Grandma, I don''t know what I''ve done wrong. Why does Tessa hate me so much? I really didn reveal anything. Mom, Dad, please believe me."


    Caleb''s heart softened as he watched Jacqueline cry, her cheek still red from the p. Heforted her gently, "Don''t cry. You''ve been wronged."


    Sophia, however, frowned, her gaze lingering on Jacqueline with a thoughtful expression.


    Tessa stepped out from behind Stephen, her eyes cold as she stared at Jacqueline. "Stop pretending. It''s disgusting."


    Her words only further enraged Rowena. Seeing Rowena struggling to catch her


    breath, the housekeeper quickly administered her medicine.


    Caleb frowned at Tessa. "You should tone it down too."


    Tessa snorted. "I''m not your daughter-inw anymore. Why should I listen to you?"


    Her retort left Caleb speechless.


    "No one''s calling the police?" Samuel pulled out his phone. "I''ll do it, then."
