On Wednesday, Tessa returned to work at Shelton Law Firm.
But unexpectedly, Jacqueline showed up too.
She was dressed in a tailored suit from a luxury brand and carried a limited-edition Hermès handbag. Brimming with confidence, she strode into the law firm in high heels and headed straight for Tessa's office.
The door was open, so she walked right in without knocking.
Tessa was on a call. When she looked up and saw Jacqueline, her brows knitted together.
"Let's put a pin in this for now. Something just came up, so I'll hang up first," she said.
Jacqueline casually sat down on the couch and placed her bag beside her. She glanced around the office and scoffed. "This place is tiny. You call this an office?"
After hanging up, Tessa looked at her with a calm expression. "What are you doing here?"
Jacqueline smirked. "Oh, I forgot to mention that I just invested in Shelton Law Firm. That makes me one of its partners, which means I'm technically your boss now."
Tessa didn't seem the least bit surprised. Her gaze remained as calm as ever. "So?"
Jacqueline looked at Tessa with a smile. "It's just the two of us here, so I'll drop the act. Tessa, do you have any idea how much I hate you?"
Tessa picked up her glass and took a sip of water. "Is that so? I hate you too."
Jacqueline didn't seem the least bit bothered. She simply smiled and said, "Grandma was right about lawyers always being sharp-tongued. But that's all you can do in front of me, isn't it?
"Back then, I only treated you with respect because you were Stephen's fiancée. Did you actually think that meant you mattered?"
With a smug look on her face, she scoffed. "I guess you haven't heard yet. Grandma's already setting Stephen up with someone else. You and he are completely over for good!"

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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...
More frequent updates please...
