Stephen's expression darkened. "Of course, I will hand her over to the authorities. But before that, I will expel her from the Jacobson family and make her answer for what she has done."
His words were vague and didn't specify how he planned to deal with Jacqueline.
Tessa didn't press further.
…
Half an hour later, the Cullinan drove into an unfamiliar area and slowly came to a stop.
Tessa looked around in confusion. "Where is this?"
"This is my base. Jacqueline is being held here," Stephen explained.
Getting out of the car, Stephen took Tessa's hand. "Stay close to me. It's big inside, and I don't want you to get lost."
Tessa let him lead her, quickening her steps to keep up.
The winter night air was bitterly cold. Stephen slipped Tessa's hand into his coat pocket. The warmth of his palm spread to hers, easing the cold.
Earlier, the car had driven straight in and parked at the entrance of the main building. While in the car, Tessa had only caught a glimpse of the place, but seeing its interior clearly left her stunned.
It was already past ten at night, but there were still people training everywhere. Groups of people, under the command of team leaders, trained in organized and disciplined manners.
Despite the freezing winter night, with temperatures hovering around 28 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, many were dressed in thin clothing, some even bare-chested.
Their physiques were undeniably impressive. Each man was over six feet tall, and those who were bare-chested were all muscular and strong.
In terms of looks, however, it was a mixed bag. Tessa glanced around and saw a few who were decent-looking, but most were fairly average.
"What are you looking at?" Stephen's voice came from above her.

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...
