"She's not fucking dead, right?" the man cursed.
His fellow mercenary, who had been standing nearby, frowned. "Seriously? We said to clean her up, not kill her, and this is what you did?"
The man who had jumped in after Jacqueline replied through chattering teeth, "You should've smelled her from the start, alright? She stank. I couldn't take it, so I took it upon myself to dunk her in the sea.
"How was I supposed to know that the damn woman couldn't swim? Talk about useless. I can't believe I had to jump in after her. Fuck, I'm freezing. Get her to a doctor and make sure she doesn't die. I'm going to change out of my clothes."
"Fine. Hurry it up. Boss is going to blow if you're not here when he shows up."
"Yeah, I got it."
…
It took three hours before Jacqueline finally showed signs of consciousness.
As her awareness gradually sharpened, she took the time to examine her surroundings.
She was confined to a small, dark room that was very similar to the room back on the ship.
She could feel that they were on the move and deduced that she was probably stuffed in a car. Judging by her current predicament, it was likely that she was in the back of a large truck.
She was still wearing her drenched clothes. However, she now had a thick blanket wrapped around her. It seemed that her captors were worried that she'd die of hypothermia.
Jacqueline tightened her grip around the blanket, wrapping her arms around herself. Her shoulders shook with her silent sobs.
She had had a miserable journey.
She looked nothing like a pampered heiress. Even though she wasn't given a mirror, she could already tell that she looked no different from homeless beggars living on the streets.
She whimpered into her knees, crying. When she grew tired, she leaned against the truck's metal wall to rest.
Although she now had an actual blanket around her, her sopping wet clothes still chilled her to the bone. It was so cold that she couldn't stop shivering. It was as though she wasn't in a truck but in a frozen cavern.
Jacqueline had a feeling that the truck was heading to Rivertown, which meant she'd be able to see Stephen in a couple of hours.

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