Lyanna also caught sight of Tessa. Her eyes flickered with surprise as she said, "Is that you, Ms. Yates? What a coincidence!"
Tessa smiled and replied, "I happened to hear a child crying when I was taking a stroll at the park earlier, so I went to take a closer look. It really is such a small world. I didn't think you'd be Cassie's mother."
"You're the one who brought Cassie back, Ms. Yates?" Lyanna's eyes shone with gratitude. "I really can't thank you enough."
Tessa beamed. "You're welcome. It was nothing, really."
"Cassie, hurry up and thank Ms. Yates," Lyanna smiled gently as she spoke to her daughter.
Cassandra looked up at Tessa with her bright eyes before chirping, "Thank you, Ms. Yates."
"You're a good kid, Cassie." Tessa smiled brightly at Cassandra as she crouched down to ruffle Cassandra's hair.
Lyanna held Cassandra's hand. "Ms. Yates, thank you so much for today. Why don't you join us for dinner? It'll be my treat."
"It's fine." Tessa smiled politely.
"Why not, Ms. Yates? Are you busy tonight?" Lyanna was very eager to see this through. "We can reschedule. What about tomorrow? Oh, when are you free?"
Tessa waved her hands. "You don't have to do this."
Alas, Lyanna wouldn't let up, and Tessa caved in the end. After all, Tessa couldn't bear to keep rejecting the enthusiastic woman. So, she conceded, saying, "Well… Alright, then. I have business to attend to tonight. Why don't we have dinner next Saturday?"
"Great! I'll see you then!" Lyanna answered with a grin.
…
Jacquline couldn't help but feel as though someone was stalking her even though she was already at Arcton.
She kept glancing behind her, and every single passerby looked like a hyena waiting to pounce. Yet, her paranoia failed to tell her precisely what was amiss.
Jacqueline's heart raced, and her palms turned sweaty due to fear.
She had met up with Zachary at a villa in the suburbs three days ago. However, one of her bodyguards found a bug hidden under the leaves of a potted plant in the villa's living room soon after Zachary left the premises.
The white sedan had barely traveled far when a black pickup truck crashed into it, forcing the white vehicle into an abrupt stop.
Peter promptly drew his gun and shouted, "Duck, Ms. Sanders!"
The sound of gunfire erupted around them the second those words fell from his lips.
Jacqueline's legs turned to jelly out of fright. She fell over herself, shaking in terror.
Was she going to die here today?
The sound of gunshots continued to thunder around them.
The car windows were shot through, and the metallic tang of blood began to permeate the air.
Jacqueline shrieked in horror, "Peter, are you hurt?"
"Ms. Sanders, there are too many of them. We might not be able to get away this time," Peter hissed, struggling to speak as he clutched his injured arm.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
