Tessa scrunched her brows as she swept her gaze over the groveling Jacqueline. Then, she turned to look at Stephen, who was sporting an austere expression. "What do you mean she's had others killed?"
Stephen didn't want to tell Tessa that Jacqueline had helped James in silencing people permanently.
Tessa was already worried sick over the Granger siblings, Lucas and Anne, despite barely knowing them. She couldn't sleep or eat well because of those two. So, he had a feeling that she would feel greatly distressed if she learned that innocents had met their demise at James' hands.
Thus, he replied steadily, "I was talking about Susan."
"Alright." Tessa lowered her gaze. She had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Jacqueline was expelled from the Jacobson family that very day.
Stephen then handed her over to the authorities, and Jacqueline was officially arrested.
…
Meanwhile, James and his men were at Arcton.
Liam, James' subordinate, had a grim look on his face when he ended the call.
"James, Stephen has handed Jacqueline over to the cops. She has sent word that she wishes to be rescued," Liam reported.
James chuckled nonchalantly and answered Liam with a question, "Would you waste your resources to save a useless pawn?"
Liam lowered his head and replied, "I understand, James."
James asked, "How are things progressing with Conrad?"
Liam replied, "I've given him what Jacqueline handed us."
"Good." James swirled the red wine in his glass gently as a smile played on his lips. "Let's get the show on the road."
…
Lyanna gave Tessa a call to remind her about their dinner date on Saturday morning.
"Ms. Yates, I hope you don't mind that I've asked Lester for your number. Do you still remember our plans for this evening?" Lyanna asked gently.
"Of course," Tessa promptly replied.

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...
