His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 316

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.
