Lester smiled politely.
Quentin's tone was laced with sarcasm, a cold smile curling at his lips. "Why did I just hear you asking him why he didn't accept your confession back in university?"
Naomi opened her mouth but couldn't form a sentence. "I…"
Tessa and Sienna exchanged glances. Something about Quentin seemed off today. They could not quite pinpoint what it was, but something was definitely strange.
Naomi let out an awkward laugh. "You must have misheard."
She fiddled with her phone for a moment. Suddenly, a ringtone played—one she had clearly set herself.
She made a show of answering the call. "Hello? Yes, it's me. What's wrong? Oh, right now? Okay, okay, I'm on my way."
Ending the call, she grabbed her bag and stood up. "Something just came up. I have to go. You guys keep chatting. Bye, Sienna, Tess."
With that, Naomi hurriedly left. From behind, it looked like she was fleeing the scene.
Watching her retreating figure, Tessa turned to Sienna and said, "That ringtone was not an alarm sound, was it?"
Sienna nodded. "You heard right. It was definitely an alarm."
Quentin cast Lester a long, meaningful look. "So that's her type, huh?"
Lester was at a loss for words.
"You guys continue chatting. I'm heading back too." Quentin stood up and left just as quickly as he had come.
Once he was gone, Tessa leaned in and whispered to Sienna. "Sienna, why do I feel like something is off between Quentin and Naomi?"
"I feel the same way."
…
Before long, Quentin caught up with Naomi in the parking lot.
"Running off so fast? Feeling guilty about something?" Quentin grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
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. 🤣...
