His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 203

Other than Rowena, who was unable to leave the house due to a cold, everyone from the Jacobson family was present.

Ralph spoke up first. "Samuel, I've heard that you got hurt, so I purposely requested to return to my post in Rivertown to visit you. I hope that you can get well soon."

He held a high-ranking position within Jordanville. Even those high-ranking officials within Rivertown would still have to show Ralph some respect.

Despite his status and seniority, he remained humble and courteous as he spoke to Samuel, completely devoid of his authoritative status.

Samuel was caught off guard by Ralph's humility. He quickly supported himself with the bedframe and sat upright.

Looking slightly taken aback by the situation, he said, "Mr. Jacobson Senior, you're being too polite. I'm doing fine now. You didn't have to come all this way to visit me."

Caleb replied, "Samuel, this is a small token of our sincerity, and we'd hope that you'd take it."

With that, he handed him a bank card.

With Ralph taking the lead in the situation, Samuel had no way of speaking up against the Jacobsons in displeasure. He could only accept the card with a smile. "Then, I'd accept the gift. Thank you."

Caleb replied, "You're welcome."

Seeing that Samuel had accepted the money, Ralph spoke up again. "Samuel, to be honest, there's another reason why I've returned to Rivertown."

Samuel could guess what Ralph wanted to say and quickly focused as he listened to Ralph.

"I'm sure you're aware that your injury this time isn't an accident. Stephen told me that he has mentioned Caleb's…"

Ralph paused. He had originally wanted to say the words "bastard son," but quickly stopped himself before he did. It was too harsh to call James that.

After pausing momentarily, he continued, "He told you about Caleb's other son, James Fullerton, right?"

Samuel's expression darkened as he gave Ralph a slight nod.

"James wants to bring the whole Jacobson family down. You were dragged into our mess because of Tessa's impending marriage to Stephen. So, after some consideration, we've decided to call off the engagement."

Standing by the side, Marianne was shocked as she watched them.

Last night, Samuel had mentioned to her that he wanted to call off Tessa's engagement, but due to Ralph's status and authority, he lacked the courage to bring it up.
