Everyone was stunned by Stephen's words.
Caleb's expression darkened. "Everyone here is family, Stephen. What are you implying? Are you suggesting that someone in our family would leak information to outsiders and put you in danger?"
Rowena added, "Stephen, you made it very clear before you left that we weren't to call the police. Even if I'm old and forgetful, I wouldn't do that. None of us called the police, and we would never risk your life by leaking information to outsiders."
Samuel added, "I assure you that Marianne and I didn't leak anything. Tessa was still in their hands. If we had leaked the information, both you and Tessa could have been killed. We would never take that risk. Even after Seline went missing shortly after, we remembered your warning and didn't call the police."
Sophia also strongly disagreed with Stephen's accusation. "There must be a misunderstanding here."
Jacqueline added, "Yes. There must be a misunderstanding. Could it have been one of Tessa's friends or colleagues who accidentally let something slip? Someone with ill intentions might have overheard and deliberately called the police to hurt you."
Before Stephen could respond, Tessa suddenly laughed.
She scoffed and sneered, "Zachary called the police. Jacqueline, you leaked the information to him, didn't you?"
Jacqueline's face turned pale."Tessa, what are you talking about? How could I possibly—"
Suddenly, a loud slap was heard.
Before Jacqueline could finish her sentence, Tessa slapped her across the face. The slap was so sudden and forceful that everyone in the room was stunned.
Jacqueline covered her cheek, tears welling up in her eyes. "Tessa, I know you've never liked me, but you can't just accuse me without any proof."
As she spoke, Jacqueline covered her cheek and turned to Rowena. "Grandma, you have to stand up for me."
Rowena's expression darkened instantly. "Tessa, how dare you slap Jacqueline in front of us! You have no manners at all! Is this how your parents raised you? Do you resort to violence at the slightest provocation? How dare you call yourself a well-mannered young lady from a prestigious family? You're nothing but a shrew!"
Caleb's face was equally stormy. After all, Jacqueline was his adopted daughter, a member of the Jacobson family. Tessa's action was nothing short of an insult to the Jacobson family.

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...
