The howling wind brought with it a piercing cold. Jacqueline only had threadbare clothes to begin with, so she wasn't exactly resistant to the cold. Now that she was trussed up mid-air and tormented by the freezing wind, it was likely that she would eventually succumb to hypothermia.
Thus, when they had flown for about 30 minutes, Lawrence intended to tell Stephen it was time to let her go. Jacqueline might not make it if this continued.
"Does Mr. Jacobson want her dead?" Lawrence thought to himself. He couldn't help but shoot hesitant glances at Stephen.
He wasn't hesitating out of pity for Jacqueline. In his opinion, the torment Jacqueline was enduring was nothing in comparison to the atrocities she had done. Jacqueline was undoubtedly a monster with blood on her hands, but it wouldn't look good on Stephen if she were to die in his hands.
After all, he had Ralph and Rowena to answer to if that were to come to pass.
Stephen remained expressionless, showing no intention of showing any mercy.
Frankly, Lawrence had no idea what Stephen was thinking. He knew that Stephen valued Tessa a great deal. So, he didn't doubt that Stephen would torture Jacqueline to death just to avenge Tessa.
Still, how was he going to explain things to Ralph and Rowena if he gave in to his impulses?
Jacqueline was still considered a Jacobson even though she was adopted, and it didn't help that Rowena had always spoiled her rotten.
If events in the past were to be taken into account, it would be a no-brainer to say that Ralph and Rowena would want Jacqueline to be handed to the authorities, no matter what crimes she had committed.
As time passed, Lawrence began to assume that Stephen was going to ensure that Jacqueline would die on this frigid night.
To his surprise, Stephen gave him a signal the very next second.
Lawrence instantly understood his orders and spoke into his walkie-talkie. "That's enough. You can stop."
The helicopter slowly descended.
Jacqueline had turned a bluish-purple from the cold. Her lips were a blue so dark that they were nearly black. Her lashes and hair were also covered with a layer of frost.
She lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.
Stephen intoned coldly, "Find a medic. I don't want her to die so easily."
"Yes, Mr. Jacobson," Lawrence answered respectfully.

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...
