Sophia demanded anxiously, "What happened? Is there any news about Tess?"
"That was Stephen," Caleb answered.
Caleb's expression was grave. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke. "Tessa was abducted, and the person behind it was… James."
"James? Sophia's expression changed immediately. "Him again? Tess has never wronged him even once. Why did he abduct Tess? I'd understand if he abducted Tess as revenge on Stephen if they were still engaged. However, Stephen and Tess have long since broken their engagement!"
Sophia frowned deeply. "Stephen's scandal with Nancy is still all over the news, and very few people are aware of who she truly is. James definitely wouldn't have any idea about it. Plus, the Yates family has been left alone for a while now, so why would James abduct Tess all of a sudden?"
Sophia felt a headache coming on just trying to make sense of this mess, while Caleb listened to her with growing frustration.
He rubbed his temples in annoyance and grumbled, "How am I supposed to know? Stephen said he'd be back soon. Let's discuss this with him later. Oh, right. I'll call Samuel over too."
Sophia was genuinely worried about Tessa's safety. Therefore, the thought of James hurting Tessa made her glare at Caleb, muttering disparagingly, "James. James. James. It's always James. Caleb, look at the mess you've made! If you hadn't—"
Caleb became irritated by her bringing up old receipts and lost his patience, cutting her off in a harsh tone, "Enough! It's been so many years since then. What's the point of bringing it up now?"
Then, he added, "We should keep our heads cool right now and wait for Stephen to come home. Then, we can discuss how we're going to rescue Tess."
Sophia's temper flared in response to Caleb's agitation, and her voice rose a couple of notches.
"I'm bringing up old receipts? How am I bringing up old receipts? Caleb, ask yourself honestly. When have I ever wronged you? I've only ever devoted myself to this family ever since I married into the Jacobsons—"
"Stop it!" Caleb interrupted her sharply. "This is not the time for us to argue."
Then, he rose to his feet in a huff and stormed upstairs.

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...
