His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 286
Tessa opened the driver's door, got in, buckled her seatbelt, and took out her phone to make a call. "Pull up the internal files of Gomez Group for me."
Her gaze was cool and steady as she tapped her fingers rhythmically against the steering wheel.
"And find a reliable private investigator. I need an investigation on Zachary."
"Yes, Ms Yates."
Hanging up, Tessa tossed her phone onto the passenger seat, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Dusk had fallen, and the city lights began to flicker on.
During the evening rush hour, traffic clogged the roads, creating an endless line of cars. A black Rolls-Royce Phantom sat buried among the unmoving sea of vehicles.
The gridlock was enough to test anyone's patience.
Just then, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen to find Stephen calling.
Even after their breakup, she had never deleted his number. Still, it had been a long time since it last appeared in her call log.
Her first instinct was to ignore it, but after a moment's hesitation, she answered. He might be calling about Seline, after all.
"Hello? What is it?" Her voice was distant and indifferent.
"The police just called. They've coordinated with authorities in Arcton and finalized a plan to rescue Seline."
Tessa's heart clenched, and her breath quickened. "Do they think it'll work?"
There was a pause before Stephen's cool voice returned. "They can't make any promises."
Of course, she'd known that all along. But when Seline's life was at stake, she couldn't stop herself from asking anyway.
Silence hung heavy between them. Finally, she spoke again. "Is there anything else?"
Stephen hesitated. His husky voice drifted through the phone. "Tess, I—"
She could tell right away that whatever he was about to say had nothing to do with Seline. She cut him off. "If that's all, I'm hanging up."
"Wait," Stephen said in a low and steady voice. "Tess, I'm sorry. About what my grandmother said to you earlier… I apologize on her behalf. I'm sorry."
Tessa said nothing. She lifted her head and stared at the long line of cars stretching into the distance with an unfocused gaze.

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...
