The dark expression of those in the living room lightened slightly upon hearing Stephen's answer.
Sophia asked, "Are you saying you already have a plan in mind?"
Stephen nodded and explained his plan to them in detail.
After he was done, Rowena still had a frown on her face and said, "It's still too risky. You're the Jacobson family's only heir. I refuse to allow you to take such a risk!"
"Yes, Stephen. You can't go. In my opinion, we should just call the cops and leave Tessa's rescue to them. James will definitely kill you if you go," Jacqueline piped up.
Stephen's face turned stone cold. His gaze was piercing and filled with warning. "I said—no calling the police."
"I'm just worried about you, Stephen," Jacqueline murmured, feeling aggrieved. She sounded as if she was one more glare away from crying. She was partly pretending, but not entirely; she was genuinely afraid that Stephen wouldn't survive the ordeal.
Stephen ignored Jacqueline and turned to Caleb, Sophia, and Rowena. "Dad, Mom, Grandma, this is the best rescue plan we have right now. Just do as I say. I need you to cooperate with me."
Rowena shook her head stubbornly. "I disagree with this plan. You can't go."
Stephen tightened his jaw, his expression indifferent. "Grandma, I've already made my decision.
The implication was clear. Her opposition was futile.
"Y-You…" Rowena trembled with anger. "Are you really going to risk your life for a woman? Fine. It seems my old bag of bones might as well be dust in your eyes. I'll tell your grandfather about this, and we'll see just what he has to say about this!"
Caleb became nervous when he saw how agitated Rowena was becoming. Thus, he hurriedly patted her back in an attempt to calm her down. "Mom, don't get worked up. Your heart might act up again."
Caleb was truly at his wit's end. Rowena had suffered a heart attack not long ago and nearly died on the operating table. With how upset she was right now, he genuinely feared that Rowena might succumb to her violent emotions before Tessa was even rescued.
"Stephen, you can't do this. Grandma's heart is weak as it is, and she can't handle the stress of losing you. You can't scare her like this. If something happens to you, Grandma…" Jacqueline trailed off.

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...
