Samuel called the police, and they arrived quickly.
After assessing the situation, the officers explained that since Seline was kidnapped in Rivertown, they had the authority to file a case and conduct an investigation. They assured the family that they would work with the police in both Silverstone and Arcton to apprehend James.
However, as for the matter of who had leaked information to Zachary, the police stated that it was beyond their jurisdiction and would have to be resolved privately.
Once the officers left, Rowena, who had taken her medication, was still unwilling to let Tessa off the hook. She insisted that Tessa apologize to Jacqueline.
Tessa scoffed and replied, "Does she even deserve the apology?"
Rowena glared at her and snapped, "It's a good thing we never let you be part of the Jacobson family."
Sophia and Stephen frowned at the harsh remark.
Sophia tried to ease the tension. "Mom, please don't say that. Tessa just went through a kidnapping and nearly lost her life. And let's not forget, she was targeted because of our family. Her sister's fate is still uncertain. Yes, she lashed out at Jacqueline, but that was just a moment of impulse."
Stephen's expression darkened as he spoke coldly, "I asked Mr. Yates for Tessa's hand in marriage. She never tried to force her way into the Jacobson family. Don't say things like that again."
Samuel scoffed and said, "As if we care about the Jacobson family. Tessa, come home with me."
Tessa replied, "Alright."
She met Rowena's gaze head-on, her expression ice-cold. "I'll find out who leaked the information. If I get proof that it was Jacqueline, I won't let her off."
With that, Tessa turned to leave. Before she could take another step, Stephen grabbed her wrist.
"Tessa…"
She lowered her gaze to his hand and said coldly, "Let go."

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...
