His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 253
However, Lester cropped out the lower half of the photo, leaving only the upper half where the two of them were visible. This completely changed the feel of the image. Without the background, it almost looked like a formal couple's portrait, similar to that of an official wedding picture.
That afternoon, Lester posted the picture to his social media feed.
His caption read, "A very special day."
The wording of this caption was not without a touch of calculation.
Since today was Valentine's Day, he deliberately avoided writing something direct like "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's." That would have been too obvious and might have annoyed Tessa.
At the same time, he refrained from using something entirely neutral like "Successful collaboration", which would have completely eliminated any room for misunderstanding.
The vague and ambiguous phrase "A very special day" struck just the right balance.
It would not make Tessa uncomfortable, yet it would be enough to mislead Stephen.
Lester had added Henry on Instagram since he had handled several cases for Henry's company.
There was no doubt that Henry would come across this post. Given his close relationship with Stephen, it was inevitable that Stephen would see it as well.
After posting the picture, Lester put his phone away, leaned back against the couch, and took a slow sip of red wine. He savored the moment with quiet satisfaction.
Meanwhile, when Tessa came across Lester's post, she casually tapped like before scrolling past it.
…
When Henry saw the same post, he immediately took a screenshot—with Tessa's like still visible—and sent it to Stephen.
"Someone made a move on your woman?"
"Why does this photo look like a wedding shot? I have to admit—they do make a good match."
Stephen stared at the message, his dark eyes turning cold.
The bright, carefree smile on Tessa's face in the photo pierced through him like a blade.
He remained silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on the image. Then, he made a call.
"How's the situation on James' end?"

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. 🤣...
