Jacqueline's eyes widened as her lips trembled.
Rowena furrowed her brows and barked in displeasure, "Stephen!"
Stephen ignored her entirely. Instead, his sharp gaze never left Jacqueline. "You'll also grovel before Tess and apologize."
His eyes were so piercing that it felt as though they were blades slicing Jacqueline apart.
Jacqueline's complexion turned white as a sheet, and she turned to look at Rowena pitifully. Then, she started sobbing. "Grandma…"
Rowena felt her heart ache at the sight. So, she cast a slightly reproachful look at Stephen. "Stephen, Jacqueline has indeed made mistakes, especially with the engagement ceremony incident. I will punish her myself, but choosing to expel her from the family? Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Tessa tugged her lips as a glint of mockery flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent.
Caleb knew all the filthy details. So, he tugged Rowena gently and said sternly, "Mom, please."
Rowena had a weak heart. As such, the Jacobsons chose to hide Jacqueline's murderous deeds out of fear that Rowena might collapse.
Meanwhile, Stephen was losing his patience. His expression was stony and severe. "I told you to beg for forgiveness, Jacqueline. Did you not hear me?"
"How could the Jacobsons' heiress grovel before another?" Rowena exclaimed with her nostrils flaring in offense while her chest heaved with anger. "Stephen, I already said I'll punish her! Why are you making things so difficult for Jacqueline? She's your sister!"
"My sister, you say?" Stephen sneered. "She's no longer a Jacobson."
Rowena raised her voice as she questioned Stephen out of sheer rage, "How could you be so heartless? You used to spoil Jacqueline. Why are you so determined to drive her out?"
Stephen narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous air as he retorted, "Grandma, Jacqueline covets me, her brother. She has committed numerous crimes, including murder! Are you still going to defend her after knowing all this?"
Stephen's words caught Rowena off guard. She turned white as a sheet, and her eyes were as wide as saucers. "What did you just say?" she blurted in shock.

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...
