His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 300
Stephen's expression turned serious as he replied, "I've brought back two teams of mercenaries from overseas who have gone through stricter training than the mercenaries at James' military base. With them protecting you and your family, James' people won't be able to hurt you again."
Tessa froze. "Mercenaries?"
"Yeah." Stephen pressed his thin lips together as a flicker of guilt flashed in his eyes. "I miscalculated before and didn't protect you and your family. Tess, I promise you, nothing like this will ever happen again. I'll keep you safe."
Tessa lowered her eyes with mixed emotions.
She had wanted to throw a few sarcastic remarks at him, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She remembered that day when he had risked his life to meet James alone to save her. The mockery that had been on the tip of her tongue dissolved into silence.
Seeing her say nothing, he assumed she didn't believe him. His throat tightened, and bitterness welled up inside him.
...
They soon arrived at Stephen's base.
It was Julian Spencer who had brought Seline back.
He was the chief commander of Stephen's private forces in Alverton. At his level, it was rare for him to personally take part in missions. Typically, he delegated tasks to his subordinates. Only missions of the highest importance and secrecy warranted his direct involvement.
In all his years working for Stephen, he had never encountered a mission involving the rescue of a little girl.
When he first received the order, he was stunned.
He even asked for confirmation to ensure he hadn't misheard. After receiving Stephen's firm word, he still found it hard to believe.
James was a dominant force in Arcton, where firearms were legal. This made operations there far more convenient than in Orkford.
Rescuing a little girl wasn't a difficult task. Julian could've simply assigned a reliable subordinate as commander, accompanied by a few mercenaries, and the mission would've been easily handled. There was no need for someone of his rank to step in.
But despite his doubts, he had always obeyed Stephen's orders without question. Since Stephen had given the command, he could only comply.
Although James' men weren't as formidable as those in Alverton, they still weren't to be underestimated.
Five of Julian's men were injured during the mission, with three of them suffering serious injuries. Fortunately, they had brought a top-tier medical team along, and the wounded received immediate care aboard the helicopter.
The helicopter flight from Ashbourne, Arcton, to the base in Rivertown, Orkford, took nearly seven hours.
When they rescued Seline, she was unconscious.
The accompanying doctor performed a quick examination and found that she had passed out from hunger.
After they administered her with a glucose injection, she regained consciousness shortly after the helicopter took off.
She was terrified. She curled up in her seat, trembling with her arms wrapped around her knees. Her small face was deathly pale, and her wide, doe-like eyes brimmed with fear.
A ruggedly handsome teenage boy among Julian's men glanced at Seline curiously before turning to Julian. "Boss, who is this little girl? She must be pretty important if you had to come and rescue her yourself."
Julian shook his head. "I don't know either. Mr. Jacobson didn't say."

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...
