Lawrence instructed his subordinates to carry Jacqueline out and throw her onto the ground.
Then, Tessa saw the man take a thick rope and tie Jacqueline's hands together, securing the other end of the rope to the frame beneath the helicopter.
Tessa vaguely guessed Stephen's intentions, her eyes widening in shock. She had never seen such a ruthless side of Stephen before.
A few minutes later, the helicopter started its engine and took off.
Just as Tessa had suspected, Jacqueline was suspended in the air by the helicopter, dangling high above the ground.
On the snowy winter night, the howling northwestern wind was bone-chillingly cold. Even standing on the ground in thick clothing was unbearably cold, let alone being suspended in midair. The higher she went, the stronger the wind became.
Jacqueline, wearing thin clothing and already vulnerable to the cold, would likely lose body heat and die from exposure before long.
Tessa was a bit frightened. It wasn't because she felt sorry for Jacqueline. After all, Jacqueline was as ruthless as a viper, with blood on her hands. Compared to the cruel things she had done to innocent people, this punishment was nothing.
Tessa was simply shocked to see this cold-blooded and merciless side of Stephen, a side so different from the gentle and doting man she knew. The contrast was almost surreal.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Tessa came back to her senses and turned to look at the man beside her.
"Stephen, will… will she die?"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"You…" Tessa hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Stephen tightened his grip on her hand. "What is it? Are you afraid of me now?"
Tessa pressed her lips together, lowering her gaze without answering.
Stephen placed both hands on her shoulders, turning her to face him. He looked into her eyes and spoke seriously, "Tess, this is another side of me. Cold, ruthless, and merciless."
Tessa's bright, clear eyes showed a hint of unease, and her brows furrowed slightly. "I… I've never seen this side of you before…"

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...
