His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 66

Zachary was thrown out by the bodyguards, where Yanis and Wendy were anxiously waiting.

Yanis was on the verge of tears. She cried, "Zachary, what are we going to do now? Have we offended the Somerton family? What about the investment?"

Wendy was equally as anxious. "The Somerton family has such extensive influence. Do you think they'll take revenge on us?"

Though they chattered on, Zachary couldn't seem to hear a word they were saying.

He was like a lifeless doll, walking mechanically with a blank expression on his face.

After the banquet ended, Stephen drove Tessa back to her apartment.

Standing at the entrance downstairs, Tessa said hesitantly, "About what happened today…"

Stephen stood before her, gently tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear.

He said in a low voice that was tinged with sadness, "Zachary said that if you had told him your real identity sooner, both of you might already be married and living a happy life. I'll admit, at that moment, I was genuinely worried. What if you—"

"There's no 'what if.'" Tessa stopped him from saying further. She met his dark gaze and said earnestly, "Stephen, don't worry about things that didn't happen. Besides, I have never actually thought of marrying Zachary."

Stephen's eyes instantly lit up. "Really?"

Tessa nodded with a smile. "Yup."

The night breeze blew past, causing Tessa to tremble slightly from the chill. Nevertheless, her eyes still sparkled brightly. "In the past, I never thought about marrying Zachary. But now, I'm really looking forward to our engagement party."

Stephen slipped off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He then pulled her into his embrace and gently said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Zachary eventually left the estate and drove off alone. No one knew where he had gone off to.

Meanwhile, Wendy drove Yanis back to the hotel.

The tattooed man sneered and gestured to his men to take action.

Just like that, Yanis and Wendy were forcibly pinned down as glasses of alcohol were poured down their throats. No matter how hard they struggled, it was no use.

By the time the alcohol on the table had been cleared, their stomachs were painfully bloated.

The tattooed man grabbed the pocket knife and ran the dull edge across Wendy's face while sneering. "You'd better watch yourself. Don't provoke people you can't afford to offend."

Not daring to move an inch, Wendy's lips quivered, and her face was ghostly pale.

"Do you understand?" The tattooed man suddenly raised his voice, making Wendy and Yanis shudder in fear.

With their lives at risk, the two of them didn't dare resist and simply nodded their heads profusely.

"We understand."
