Ralph continued his rant. "And that adopted daughter of yours, Jacqueline. What have you been teaching her all these years? A daughter of the Jacobson family teaming up with an evil scoundrel to commit despicable crimes? You and Sophia have failed as parents!"
"You're right," Caleb acknowledged as he dropped his head even more, allowing Ralph to berate him as much as he wanted.
Ralph was extremely vexed and aired out all his grievances from the laptop screen. He was currently in Jordanville with a high-ranking position. If he wanted to leave Jordanville, he would have to first obtain the approval of his superiors, which meant that he wouldn't be able to return in the near future.
As such, he could only scold his useless son through the video call.
It took Ralph some time before he could finally calm down. Then, with a low voice, he commanded, "Call Stephen over."
"Yes." Caleb moved the laptop to face Stephen, who stood at the side.
"Hello, Grandpa," Stephen greeted politely with a nod.
Ralph gave Stephen a once-over and asked seriously, "What do you plan to do moving forward?"
"James has recently secured a big project. I'm prepared to make things difficult for him, especially when he has spent a lot of time and effort on this project. If something goes awry, it would be a big blow to him."
"Good. Make sure to teach him a lesson. Get it through his head that the Jacobsons are not to be trifled with," Ralph insisted.
"However…" Ralph's expression became even more serious as he continued. "From what we have seen of him, James is a lunatic. If you plan to go against him, make sure you're fully prepared for his retaliation."
Stephen's voice was passive when he declared, "I know. The only reason he succeeded the last time was because we let our guard down."
"I've never had to worry about you. You're much more capable than your father." Ralph nodded in approval, shooting a displeased glance at Caleb, who was at the side.

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....
