In the enclosed basement, dim yellow lights spilled down, making the madness and obsession in Jacqueline's eyes clearly visible. At this moment, the twisted thoughts she had hidden for over a decade were laid bare.
After she finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the basement.
Stephen stood tall and imposing in front of Jacqueline, looking down at her coldly. He exuded a chilling aura, and a faint scent of blood seemed to linger in the air.
Tessa stared at the screen, her heart feeling as if it were clenched by an invisible hand. A sense of suffocation washed over her. She was desperate to know Stephen's response, but at the same time, she was afraid that his answer wouldn't be what she wanted to hear.
After all, they had spent so much time together; some feelings must be involved, right?
What if Stephen softened after Jacqueline's confession? What would she do then?
There was a brief silence. Stephen suddenly let out a laugh.
"Love me?" he asked. His dark eyes were deep and unfathomable like a bottomless abyss.
Jacqueline stared at Stephen, watching as he curled his lips in a mocking smile, his expression cold and his gaze icy.
"You think you're worthy?"
Four simple words, each dripping with scorn. In an instant, all the color drained from Jacqueline's face. She bit down hard on her lower lip, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Tessa hadn't expected Stephen to respond this way. She thought he would lecture Jacqueline in the tone of an older brother.
"Steve… how can you be so cruel?" Jacqueline cried, her voice full of accusation.
Stephen stood there, coldly looking down at Jacqueline, his eyes filled with faint impatience.
"Jacqueline, from this moment forward, you are no longer part of the Jacobson family."
Jacqueline's gaze became vacant, her eyes lifeless as she muttered, "I never wanted to be your sister."

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...
