Stephen roughly explained the assailant's situation to the Yates family before leaving a card behind. "Mr. Yates, this is a small token of compensation. Please accept it."
Samuel was displeased by Stephen's actions. After all, money wasn't an issue for him. His hard gaze fell on the card as he huffed, "Don't bother. I'd be far more appreciative if you apprehend James as soon as possible."
Stephen endured his future father-in-law's belligerence for Tessa's sake. In fact, his attitude was impeccable. He nodded slightly. "Of course."
Before Stephen took his leave, Tessa started packing away her things and said calmly, "Stephen, I'm coming with you."
Samuel shot her an icy glare as his expression darkened.
Tessa sighed. "Dad, they only hurt you to force me out of hiding. You, Ms. Connors, and Seline will only be safe if I make myself a target."
Marianne was taken aback. "Tess, we have bodyguards now. We'll be fine, but you have to be careful!"
Samuel snorted coldly. "There's no need to continue with your marriage if marrying into the Jacobson family brings such danger to our family."
Tessa froze as her heart sank. Upon hearing those words, she felt as though she had been plunged into an abyss.
She was well aware that Samuel was being serious and wasn't joking around at all.
To make matters worse, she had no grounds to oppose him.
That was because Seline and Samuel had gotten into harm's way, not her.
She couldn't possibly continue to selfishly prioritize her romance while her family suffered because of it.
Tessa's voice was strained as she answered, "Dad, I'll talk to Stephen about this."
Samuel replied gravely, "Yes, you should."
…
Stephen had parked his car in the hospital's underground parking lot.
The car's heater was on full blast. So, Stephen took off his coat, revealing a black shirt and tie underneath. He was dressed like an elite businessman, which meant he had rushed all the way to the hospital from Jacobson Corporation.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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...
More frequent updates please...
