Ralph patiently advised Stephen. "Samuel is a legitimate businessman. He's never been exposed to this kind of bloodshed. Even if you assign bodyguards, they can't protect him and his family every second of the day. You've seen it yourself. The Yates are the first to suffer in this war between you and James."
Stephen's dark eyes were as deep and unreadable as an abyss. His Adam's apple bobbed, and a faint redness rimmed his eyes.
"Grandpa, do you really think James will believe I broke up with Tessa?"
"That's why you can't just pretend; you have to make it real. Tessa is too pure-hearted to fake it. If you tell her it's only for show, she'll give it away in an instant. Stephen, if you're going to do this, do it the right way. Make a clean break."
A flicker of pain crossed Stephen's face. "I promised her I'd never do anything to hurt her."
"This isn't hurting her. You're protecting her."
"James went after the Yates family because he knows Tessa is my weakness. I don't believe that breaking up with her will convince him we're truly over."
Ralph shook his head. "No, he'll believe it. You're the only heir of the Jacobson family and successor to the Jacobson Corporation. With your status, no one would ever think you're the type to be devoted to just one woman. Men like you are expected to be fickle."
Stephen let out a bitter laugh. "Grandpa, give me some time. Let me think about it."
Ralph patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "I can wait, Stephen. The Yates family can't."
Stephen closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling as if suppressing his emotions.
Ralph sighed. "If you truly love Tessa, can't you just win her back once you've dealt with James?"
Stephen's voice was low and hoarse, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes. Ralph had never seen him in a dazed state like this before.
"What if she doesn't want to be with me anymore?"

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...
