His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 399
Tessa glanced at Stephen. "When did I ever say I wanted her fired? I didn't make an appointment, and she was just doing her job. It's rare to find staff who take their responsibilities seriously. Don't be so quick to threaten someone's job."
A smile played at the corners of Stephen's lips. His voice was gentle. "Alright."
Maisy finally breathed a sigh of relief. The knot in her chest loosened at last.
Stephen remained seated next to Tessa, trying to find ways to keep the conversation going.
"A new restaurant just opened at Grandwell Center. Want to try it together sometime?"
"No. I've been really busy lately," came Tessa's response.
"Even busy people still need to eat."
"The Grandwell Center is too far. It's a waste of time going back and forth."
"Fair point," Stephen said, then paused. "What about this weekend? A friend of mine just opened a hot spring resort in Willow Heights. Want to relax for a bit?"
Tessa replied coolly, "I have to meet a client in Haverford this weekend."
"Alright."
…
Already, 20 minutes had passed, yet Samson still hadn't come down.
Tessa checked her watch. "Why is it taking so long?"
Stephen had no choice but to make a call to check in.
Samson finally came down, holding the documents.
"Apologies, Ms. Yates. Sorry to keep you waiting. Mr. Montague was caught up in something."
Upstairs, Justin had the puzzling inkling that someone was badmouthing him.
In truth, he had signed and stamped the documents a while ago. Samson had deliberately stalled for time.
After working as Stephen's assistant for so many years, he had learned a few tricks. With Stephen and Tessa spending time alone downstairs, the last thing he wanted was to interrupt early and face the consequences.

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. 🤣...
