His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 244
On Wednesday, Tessa returned to work at Shelton Law Firm.
But unexpectedly, Jacqueline showed up too.
She was dressed in a tailored suit from a luxury brand and carried a limited-edition Hermès handbag. Brimming with confidence, she strode into the law firm in high heels and headed straight for Tessa's office.
The door was open, so she walked right in without knocking.
Tessa was on a call. When she looked up and saw Jacqueline, her brows knitted together.
"Let's put a pin in this for now. Something just came up, so I'll hang up first," she said.
Jacqueline casually sat down on the couch and placed her bag beside her. She glanced around the office and scoffed. "This place is tiny. You call this an office?"
After hanging up, Tessa looked at her with a calm expression. "What are you doing here?"
Jacqueline smirked. "Oh, I forgot to mention that I just invested in Shelton Law Firm. That makes me one of its partners, which means I'm technically your boss now."
Tessa didn't seem the least bit surprised. Her gaze remained as calm as ever. "So?"
Jacqueline looked at Tessa with a smile. "It's just the two of us here, so I'll drop the act. Tessa, do you have any idea how much I hate you?"
Tessa picked up her glass and took a sip of water. "Is that so? I hate you too."
Jacqueline didn't seem the least bit bothered. She simply smiled and said, "Grandma was right about lawyers always being sharp-tongued. But that's all you can do in front of me, isn't it?
"Back then, I only treated you with respect because you were Stephen's fiancée. Did you actually think that meant you mattered?"
With a smug look on her face, she scoffed. "I guess you haven't heard yet. Grandma's already setting Stephen up with someone else. You and he are completely over for good!"
"At the end of the day, you're just the maid's daughter. With Mrs. Jacobson adopting you, there's no way she would tolerate your feelings for Stephen."
Tessa's words hit right where it hurt. Jacqueline stood up angrily. "So what? I can stay single for the rest of my life for him! But you? You're never going to have anything to do with him again!"
A sharp pain stabbed into Tessa's chest, and a flicker of sorrow flashed in her eyes.
She buried her emotions and started gathering her things from the desk. "Well then, I hope you get what you want."
Jacqueline asked, "What are you doing?"
Tessa ignored her. Instead, she rose to her feet and swung the door open.
Before long, she arrived outside Barry's office.

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
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....
