Most of the deeds Jacqueline had done were aimed to ruin or even kill Tessa.
Therefore, Stephen specifically called Tessa over.
Rowena had hastily rushed to the Jacobson residence from the nursing home when she was informed that Stephen had something important to announce. She knew right then and there that Jacqueline was involved in the matter.
Caleb had also pushed his work aside just to hurry home.
Soon, the entire family congregated at the Jacobson residence's hall. They sat on the couches there, and the atmosphere was so heavy that one could cut it with a knife.
A flash of dislike flickered in Rowena's eyes when she saw that Tessa was there as well. Nevertheless, she played the pitiful elder card and asked, acting clueless, "Stephen, what's going on?"
All eyes fell on Stephen.
Stephen wasn't fazed. Instead, he took his phone out and made a call, saying coldly, "Bring her over."
Once he ended the call, he answered succinctly, "You'll know soon enough, Grandma."
Rowena looked around the room, looking anxious.
Five minutes later, Lawrence walked in with Jacqueline in tow.
Rowena was caught off guard at the sight before she hobbled over. There was a look of abject disappointment on her face as she cried, "Jacqueline, what were you thinking?"
Jacqueline's face was pale, her lips chapped, and her eyes sunken. She looked so frail, as if a mild breeze was enough to topple her.
Rowena's heartstrings tugged at the sight. She hesitated briefly before eventually asking, "Jacqueline, what have you been through these past few days? How did you end up like this?"
"Grandma…" Jacqueline let out a pitiful whine as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Rowena's heart clenched. After all, she had raised Jacqueline ever since she was a little girl. Although Jacqueline had made mistakes, she couldn't bear to see her in such a piteous state.
All Rowena knew was that Jacqueline had been working for James, but she didn't know the nitty-gritty details.
Therefore, she didn't know that Jacqueline had provoked Zachary into calling the cops, thereby making James attempt to kill Tessa. She also didn't know that Susan was following Jacqueline's orders by abducting Selina on Stephen's engagement day.
Rowena had absolutely no idea that her dearest granddaughter, Jacqueline, was the reason why Stephen had been stabbed at his engagement banquet in the first place.

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...
