His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 360
The light flickered overhead, casting shadows in the prison.
James stared at Stephen, his eyes filled with malice. "Look what the cat brought in. Mr. Jacobson, what brings you here?"
James' head and arms were wrapped in bandages as he had been severely injured after he attempted to assassinate Stephen. He had executed his plan with the full intention of dying that day.
He had placed a spy by Stephen's side. So, when his spy sent him that message, he knew right then that he was done for.
Seyson's term had ended, and the public was filled with nothing but resentment toward him. Thus, it was impossible for Seyson to be re-elected as prime minister.
Once Ensa came to power, she would undoubtedly unite various forces just to get rid of Seyson.
When James received the news, he began to plot, intending to fake his death. Then, he secretly fled to Orkford with only one purpose in mind. He would die trying to drag Stephen to hell.
Liam tried to persuade him against his plan. He said James could use this opportunity to change his identity and live out his remaining years in hiding.
James merely laughed at him, his eyes flashing with disdain. "Do I look like a coward to you?"
His narrowed eyes gleamed dangerously as he drawled, "Since Stephen wants me dead, then I'll just have to drag him down with me."
James managed to grow into power rapidly in recent years because of Seyson. Seyson's favor and backing had been his golden ticket to success.
James was involved in shady dealings, so committing crimes was pretty much his bread and butter. After all, there was a reason why people would claim that the most profitable trades were mostly illicit business deals. One could even say that James was a living proof of that claim.
Seyson had always been a thorn in Stephen's side before the former's downfall. The former prime minister would hinder Stephen from taking James down.
It didn't matter just how powerful Stephen was in Rivertown, as he couldn't exactly afford to go head-to-head with Arcton's prime minister.
Plus, he would never fall to the temptation of hiring an assassin to eliminate Seyson, no matter how tempting it was.
In truth, Stephen had been secretly lending Ensa a hand in congregating her power ever since James returned to Orkford last year.
That was the true reason why James would put a hit on Stephen in Arcton.
…
"What's the matter? Let me guess—Caleb's not doing too hot, is he?" James' eyes glinted as he smirked.
Stephen remained calm. His cold gaze lingered on James' pathetic figure before saying frostily, "You ordered Jacqueline to poison him."
He sounded so sure of it. Stephen was so confident that the words that came out of his mouth became a statement. It wasn't even a question.
James arched his brow slightly as he blinked playfully. Then, he mused, "Did I really do that? Gosh, I can't remember."
Stephen wasn't fazed by James' lack of cooperation. Instead, he slowly drew out a picture from his folder. "Do you remember this place?"
Then, he slid the picture across the table, allowing James to take a closer look at it.
James, who had been so playful earlier, immediately dropped the act. His expression turned dark, gritting his teeth as he barked, "Stephen!"
He spat Stephen's name out as though he wanted nothing more than to tear Stephen apart.
Stephen leaned against his chair. "Present and accounted for."
"What did you do to my mother's graveyard?" James' eyes were bloodshot now, his veins bulging due to his rage.
Stephen curled his lips into a smirk. "And here I thought you were heartless. Turns out there is something you care about—or someone, if I were to be exact."
"What did you do to my mother's grave?" James looked as though he was one wrong word away from pouncing on Stephen.

Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
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....
