His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 7
Tessa sat down on the single-seater couch next to Yanis. She kept her composure as she looked at Yanis steadily and said, "I've never intended to marry into the Gomez family."
Yanis naturally didn't believe Tessa. She gave Tessa a measured look from head to toe.
So this was the young lady Zachary had been dating for three years.
Tessa's looks were undeniably attractive, and her demeanor was rather refined. Although she came from an ordinary family, she didn't carry the reserved and insecure attitude typical of people from humble backgrounds.
Yanis had purposely said those words at the door earlier to embarrass Tessa, but she hadn't expected Tessa to stay so composed. Tessa wasn't submissive or arrogant when she saw Yanis and even spoke confidently.
However, what did that matter?
Tessa was just a gold-digger daydreaming of marrying into wealth. No matter how well she acted, she was still beneath their status.
Yanis spoke with an air of blatant superiority. "There's no need to put on an act in front of me. I'm a woman too, and I know exactly what you are thinking.
"I'm well aware that Zachary is popular with the ladies, and it's not easy for you to meet a wealthy heir like him. He must have given you a lot of money to spend, right?"
Tessa replied, "I don't care about his money."
Yanis smiled disdainfully at Tessa's response, her eyes gleaming coldly. "Why are you still pretending? I've seen plenty of girls like you acting holier-than-thou while still taking advantage of things. You say you don't care, but if you didn't, why did you go after Zachary in the first place?"
At that, Tessa laughed. "Mrs. Gomez, are you saying that your son has nothing going for him other than his money?"
"Why you!" Yanis was truly furious as her breathing became slightly more rapid. She glared at Tessa and hissed, "You've got a sharp tongue! To think Zachary praised you for being gentle and understanding. I think he has completely misjudged you!"
Tessa unhurriedly picked up her cup and sipped her drink to soothe her throat.
"You have no manners," Yanis said as she shot her a glance. "You didn't even think of offering me a drink while I'm here."
Tessa faked a smile and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gomez. There aren't any extra cups here, and I'm sure you'll definitely dislike using a cup I've used before. So I decided not to bother after giving it some thought.
"After all, it's not like you're thirsty, right?"
Yanis was so angry that she couldn't even utter a word.
Where on earth did Zachary find such an ill-mannered girl?
Yanis took a slow breath, then continued speaking, "I'm here today to tell you that not just anyone can marry into the Gomez family. If you're hoping to marry Zachary, it's never going to happen!"
Tessa hummed indifferently.
Yanis rambled on, "Wendy is the daughter-in-law of my choice. Not only is her family close to ours for generations, but she is also Zachary's first love. I'm advising you to give up on this. Pack your things and leave soon so Wendy can take her rightful place by his side!"
Tessa's lips curved into a faint smile as she recalled overhearing Zachary on the phone once. He had mentioned how the Gomez Group had some trouble with their cash flow. This caused many projects to come to a halt and resulted in significant losses.
At the time, she had even considered injecting capital into the Gomez Group.
Even though Zachary assumed she came from a poor family and never intended to marry her, they had still been together for three years. There were bound to be some feelings between them, and helping him out wasn't entirely impossible.
When she went to pick Zachary up from the party the other night, she had intended to discuss bringing investments into the Gomez Group.
Samuel would definitely not invest since she had fallen out with her family.
Her cousin, Uriah Somerton, was now the head of the Somerton family. Somerton Group was thriving and had become one of the top ten companies in the country last year under his leadership. Uriah had always doted on her. Tessa was sure if she asked, she would have been able to secure investments for the Gomez Group without issue.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
