Tessa followed Stephen in a daze to the local police station to give their statements.
At the station, the police's attitude noticeably improved once they learned Stephen's identity. From the officers, Stephen discovered that the person who had called the police was a man, and through technical means, they had identified him as Zachary.
One of the officers explained, "The caller said his girlfriend had been kidnapped and taken to Silverstone. He also mentioned that the kidnappers might be armed. After receiving the report, we immediately launched a search and eventually pinpointed the location."
These details were shared privately with Stephen, though Tessa remained unaware.
Their statements were given quickly.
As Tessa stepped out of the interview room, an officer said, "You're free to go."
"Officer, my sister has been kidnapped. Please, you have to save her. The man who took her is a monster.
She's only eight years old. If she's in his hands, I..." Tessa's voice trembled, her words broken by sobs.
Although Seline was the daughter of Tessa's stepmother, Tessa had grown genuinely fond of her half-sister over time. Even if she didn't say it out loud, Tessa had long accepted Marianne and her daughter as part of her family.
Tessa couldn't bear to think about what would happen if Seline didn't return.
The officer replied, "The suspect crossed the national border by helicopter. We're currently trying to contact the authorities in Arcton to request their assistance in apprehending the suspect. We'll notify you as soon as we have any updates."
Silverstone was located next to Arcton, and the abandoned building James had chosen wasn't far from the border. The helicopter had crossed into Arcton's airspace quickly, putting it beyond the reach of Orkford's police.
The authorities in Orkford could only contact their counterparts in Arcton and request their cooperation in arresting James.
James and Liam had escaped by helicopter, while the rest of James' men had been captured.
Faced with Tessa's heartbroken sobs, Stephen knew words would offer little comfort. He stayed silent, standing by her side and gently holding her hand, offering quiet support.
Just then, Stephen's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Samuel.

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...
