His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 224

Liam explained, "Back when Jacqueline fed us information regarding Stephen's whereabouts and the inner workings of the Jacobsons, the funds that she received from us were funneled into the Gomez Group. They're doing very well now and have made a name for themselves in the country. The Gomez family still has their uses."

James didn't look convinced. "How capable can a man be if he was recruited by someone as stupid as Jacqueline? I bet he's just as stupid as her."

"Would you like to meet with him, Mr. Fullerton?"

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have another lapdog to do my bidding. When I'm in a good mood, I can even take him out on a walk."

Sienna managed to send Tessa back to her home safely. Before she left, she reminded Michelle over and over again to watch over Tessa. As Tessa lay on the bed and mumbled incomprehensibly to herself, Michelle went to the kitchen to prepare a pot of chicken soup for her.

The doorbell rang. When Michelle opened the door, she was stunned to see Stephen standing there. "Mr. Jacobson, what are you doing here?"

"How is she?"

"Ms. Yates drank a lot. I'm cooking some chicken soup for her."

Stephen flipped open his wallet and pulled out a few bills. "Stay somewhere else tonight. I'll take care of her."

She accepted the cash. "Understood. Please wait a moment, Mr. Jacobson. Let me pack some clothes."

Michelle shifted to her side and allowed Stephen to enter the apartment. The smell of alcohol and an air of chill clung to Stephen's body as he stepped into the apartment. His eyes roamed the space, taking in the size and the decor of the place. He considered it acceptable. Samuel treated Tessa quite well.

Michelle placed a cup of hot tea on the table in the living room. "You can have a seat first, Mr. Jacobson. I'll be done in no time."

"Where is Tessa's room?"

"Ms. Yates' room is the first room on the left," she said, pointing in the direction of Tessa's bedroom.
