Liam, James' personal bodyguard and most capable assistant, questioned Tessa as he sat in the back seat of the car, "You know Mr. Fullerton?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Tessa's eyes. "How could I not know him? I nearly died because of him."
Liam fell silent for a moment before saying, "Since you know who he is, I might as well be frank. Your boyfriend targeted us and caused us significant losses. So, we had no choice but to retaliate by hurting his girlfriend. It's only fair, don't you think?"
"What are you talking about?" Tessa's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Surely you're not implying that Stephen's my boyfriend? Don't you know we've ended things? If you're looking for his girlfriend, then I'm afraid you've got the wrong person. Lord knows I have had nothing to do with him since then."
Liam sneered. "Who else could his beloved be but you?"
"Haven't you seen the headlines recently? He's gone galavanting with some actress! Are you blind? Why come after me?" Tessa snarked.
There was a pause before Liam replied coldly, "Do you not know that Stephen deliberately dumped you and broke his engagement with you to prevent you from getting involved in his mess?"
Tessa scoffed. "Please. You're giving me far too much credit. His scandal with his latest beau has been plastered all over the news. Are you illiterate or something?"
Liam's lips tugged into a smirk. "Ms. Yates, are you truly unaware of what's going on, or are you just pretending? The actress involved in that scandal with Stephen is actually his cousin."
Tessa's expression froze upon hearing this, and her eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you just say?"
Liam let out a bark of mocking laughter. "At this point, I'm not sure whether I should praise you for your award-worthy acting skills or commend Stephen for protecting you so well, Ms. Yates."
Tessa was beyond confused. "What are you getting at?"
James had ordered Liam to abduct Tessa. Now that she was in his grasp, his task was complete.
He had bound Tessa's limbs at the first opportunity, and she was also severely injured. Besides, she had lost all contact with the outside world. Therefore, there was absolutely no possible way she could escape by herself.
It was unlikely she would survive once she fell into James' hands.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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...
When will there be more chapters...
