His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 283
"Tessa?" Wendy's internal alarms blared as her expression darkened. She strode forward, heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. "What are you doing here?"
Seated elegantly on the couch, Tessa lifted her gaze slowly. A mocking smile played on her lips. "Well, well. If it isn't my doppelgänger. For a moment there, I thought some long-lost sister had appeared. Since when did you start playing the 'substitute' game?"
Wendy's face drained of color. Tessa had noticed?
Recovering quickly, she forced a scoff. "Copying you? Don't flatter yourself. Why would I need to imitate you?"
Tessa examined Wendy from head to toe. Then, she burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Wendy sneered.
"Just remembered an old tale." Tessa tilted her head, eyes glinting with malice. "Ever heard of it? Some knockoffs only highlight the original's superiority."
Wendy's manicured nails dug into her palms. Of course she knew the parable—the ugly peasant girl whose clumsy imitation of a beautiful woman became proverbial ridicule.
Wendy crossed her arms, looming over the seated figure. "You think you own this aesthetic? That no one else can possibly share your tastes without being a copycat?"
Tessa's amusement deepened. "Oh, I get it. The matching outfit is a coincidence. The identical hairstyle—pure chance. Even the same perfume? Just cosmic serendipity. By all means, keep telling yourself that."
Wendy frowned, and before she could retort, a man called out, "Tessa!"
Wendy was stunned to hear Zachary's pleasant voice, while Tessa stared at him coldly.
Wendy hissed, "You were waiting for Zachary? After all this time, you're still chasing after him? Are you that desperate for male attention?"
Tessa scoffed. "Not everyone mistakes trash for treasure."
Zachary's head had snapped sideways from the impact. After a dazed moment, he brushed Wendy away, his gaze locking onto Tessa's icy eyes.
"Why?" His voice cracked with genuine hurt.
Tessa radiated frigid rage, her voice icy. "You called the police?"
Zachary replied earnestly, "Of course I did! When I heard you'd been kidnapped, I—I was terrified something would happen to you."
Her eyes flashed dangerously. "How did you know James took me? Did Jacqueline tell you?"

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
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....
