The call came to an abrupt stop.
"Don't flatter yourself" was what Stephen had said.
Those words were like a curse as they echoed repeatedly in Tessa's mind. Her mind fell into despair as all of the memories where he had showered her in love began to fade.
The snow outside rained heavier, and the northern wind howled, causing the branches to shake a little.
She looked at the snowy blizzard in a daze.
After a moment of silence from her phone, her phone began to ring again.
The tears staining Tessa's cheeks were still visible, and the sound of her phone ringing only filled her with exhaustion.
It was Samuel calling. "Tess, the Jacobsons came to my ward to call off the wedding."
Tessa responded in a low hum, her heart already numb from the pain.
He fell silent, acting as if he could not bear to continue. "Have you seen the rumors about Stephen and that female celebrity?"
Tessa did not answer him.
Samuel continued, "I'll hold a press conference tomorrow, announcing that the Yates family has called off the engagement with the Jacobsons. The entire blame will fall on the Jacobson family.
"Tess, the Jacobsons are the ones who are in the wrong. Don't feel burdened by it. It's not humiliating to cancel your engagement with someone else. I'll find you a much better man in the future.
"With how beautiful and talented you are, I'm sure you'll be able to find any man you want."
Tessa remained silent. She didn't even know how she should respond.
She never thought that the Jacobsons would act so quickly. Stephen had just broken up with her last night, and his family had visited her father to call off the wedding the next day.
Were they in such a rush?
Recalling the pleasant woman's voice on the other end of the call earlier, Tessa felt a sharp pain in her heart. Was Stephen in such a rush to get rid of her because he wanted to be with Nancy officially?
"Tess, you should rest well. Once the press conference ends tomorrow, I'll send someone to drive you home."
Once the press conference ended, the Yates family and the Jacobsons would have nothing to do with each other. Hence, James would probably stop targeting them.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
