The painting depicted a happy family of four.
Samuel and Marianne stood on either side, with Tessa and Seline in the middle. The four of them held hands, radiating harmony and happiness.
Tessa's slender, fair fingers gently traced the painting, her fingertips lingering over Seline's figure.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Seline..."
A stray tear fell and landed on the painting.
This painting was given to Tessa when she had just returned from Haverford.
Back then, she had treated her clingy little sister with indifference. Yet, despite her cold attitude, Seline never distanced herself. Instead, she became even more affectionate, increasingly obedient, and sensible.
Her little sister was the sweetest, most adorable, and most thoughtful child in the world.
Tessa's eyes grew misty with unshed tears.
During the day at the Jacobson residence, she had forced herself to suppress her emotions. But now, she no longer had to hold them in.
Pain squeezed her chest, and her tears fell like a string of broken pearls, unstoppable.
Covering her face with both hands, she lowered her head in anguish. "Seline..."
...
Zachary had just ended a phone call with Jacqueline. He finally learned that he had been used—almost indirectly causing Tessa's death. Regret and guilt weighed heavily on his heart.
He tried calling Tessa several times, but she didn't answer any of his calls.
Wendy noticed his low spirits and approached to comfort him, only to be pushed away.
Inside the CEO's office, Wendy fell to the floor, her gaze lowered as she stared at a random spot on the ground. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
That night, she logged into her TikTok account and started a live stream.
As a pianist by profession, she regularly posted piano-playing videos, amassing a substantial following.
By the time she returned to the country, her account had already gained over a million followers.
Recently, however, she skyrocketed in popularity by posting a video series titled "My Sweet Daily Life with a CEO Boyfriend".
In her latest videos, glimpses of Zachary's luxurious cars, mansion, tailored designer suits, well-defined hands, or tall and broad silhouette frequently appeared, though never his face.

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...
