Tessa's voice had become soft after drinking, and she would raise her pitch slightly after every sentence. It was extremely charming.
Stephen's body instantly tensed, and the heat surging through his body immediately increased tenfold.
Down the stage, Jasmine's eyes were shining as she eagerly recorded the scene before her. She then nudged a female colleague beside her eagerly, saying, "This is amazing! My ship has sailed! Let's go!"
Jasmine loved to surf the internet during her free time and would often mention the memes she saw online.
The female colleague nodded enthusiastically, adding, "She's so beautiful, and he's so handsome. They're like the perfect couple! Our ship has sailed!"
Quentin sat at the back and smacked his hand against his forehead, looking exasperated by the situation.
"I must be a masochist! I can't believe I followed him here just to watch them act all affectionate with each other. I must really be touch-deprived."
Stephen remained frozen in place for a full ten seconds, completely stunned by how Tessa had addressed him. After finally snapping out of it, he quickly realized he needed to get her off the stage.
He bent down and carried her bridal style, stepping off the stage.
Tessa instinctively wrapped her arms around Stephen's neck, tilting her head back in his embrace, and stared at his face.
How can someone be this good-looking? He looked like he walked straight out of a comic book.
Completely entranced, Tessa stared at him dreamily. Suddenly, she started blurting out nonsense again as she giggled. "Stay with me for the night. I'm really rich. I can give you as much as you want…"
Stephen happened to walk past Quentin as she said those words.
Quentin could not hold back his laughter and burst out in uncontrollable laughter. "Tess, are you saying that you want to pay him to sleep with him?"
Stephen's face immediately darkened as he looked at Quentin sharply.
Quentin immediately zipped his lips and even made a locking motion at his mouth to show he would not say another word.
Before Stephen could answer her, Tessa, still nestled in his arms, continued to stare at him, and giggled adorably. Then, she dropped yet another bombshell on him.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
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....
