His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 293
The answer to Lester's confession seemed like a foregone conclusion.
Stephen held his breath without realizing it, and his fingertips slowly clenched as a dull ache spread through his chest.
However, Tessa's response took everyone by surprise.
"Sorry, but I can't say yes."
The smile at the corner of Lester's lips faded. The night wind tousled his dark hair, and the dim lights couldn't chase away the disappointment on his face.
"May I know the reason?" His voice trembled slightly as if his emotions had slipped beyond his control.
Tessa pressed her lips together in a calm and distant expression as she answered in a tone devoid of any ripple, "Because I'm not interested in dating right now. I don't have time for a relationship, so I'm sorry—I can't accept your confession."
The crowd burst into a new wave of chatter.
Stephen raised an eyebrow, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth
He was quite satisfied with that answer.
After speaking, Tessa turned and left without ever accepting the bouquet of roses.
Stephen knew that Tessa had countless admirers during her university days. Confessions like this probably happened a dozen times a year, so it was only natural that she wouldn't remember the names or faces of every guy who professed his love.
But he remembered every single one—what they looked like and what their names were.
That was why a very real sense of crisis crept over Stephen when he saw Lester with Tessa at the restaurant on Valentine's Day.
As the memory faded, his eyes darkened. "After all these years, you still haven't given up, huh?"
Lester chuckled and answered in a calm tone, "I should be thanking you, Mr. Jacobson, for giving me the opportunity."
Stephen narrowed his eyes in warning. "Stay away from her."
Suddenly, James' face began to twist and contort, morphing into the face of that man with glasses.
"Go to hell!" His face distorted with fury as he hurled a bucket of sulfuric acid toward her.
"Ah!" Tessa bolted upright in bed, screaming as she broke free from the nightmare. Her body was drenched in cold sweat.
The night lay still and silent. In the darkness, her ragged breathing echoed in the quiet room. It took a long time before she returned to her senses.
Her phone screen lit up.
She picked it up and glanced at the time—3:30 am.
She received a text message from an anonymous number.
"If you want your sister alive, do exactly as I say."

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....
