His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 165
James drawled meaningfully, "She's quite the looker. It's no wonder Stephen's so hung up on her."
Conrad chuckled. "She's also Stephen's Achilles' heel."
James let out a huff before retracting his gaze. An unknown emotion swirled in his eyes as he muttered, "Stephen ruined my plans. I should at least send him a little something in retaliation."
He'd spent a great deal of money and effort on that Arcton project. Yet, Stephen ruined it all at a critical juncture, resulting in severe losses for him.
He was going to make Stephen pay for that. He thought menacingly, "Tessa, huh? Let's see whether you'll be lucky at every single turn."
…
Tessa made a phone call at the precinct, and the officer handling the case received a call from his superiors within five minutes.
After he ended the call, the officer's demeanor toward Tessa changed a great deal. His tone became much more polite. "Ms. Yates, we've officially filed this as a homicide attempt. You're free to leave now. We'll notify you immediately if there are any new developments."
Tessa nodded slightly. "Thank you."
She had just stepped out of the precinct when she received a call from an unknown number.
The voice on the other end of the line was far from amicable. "I hear you took on Lucas' case and plan on suing the company?"
Tessa frowned. "That's right."
"Ms. Yates, is it? Are you available at the moment? I think it's time for us to have a chat." The man's tone was rife with disdain and arrogance.
"Who are you?" Tessa asked sharply.
He chuckled before replying, "Oh, me? I'm Lucas' ex-boss, Leon McGraw."
Tessa remembered the name.
The law demanded that any and all company owners list their information when registering their company. Leon McGraw was indeed Lucas' former boss.
"What do you want to discuss?" Tessa inquired.
"What do I want to discuss? I'm thinking about settling this privately. I'd rather settle this privately instead of wasting my time on labor arbitration," Leon answered snidely.

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...
