Faced with Marissa's insistence, Tessa ended up accepting the gift. "Thank you, Ms. Scott."
Marissa smiled brightly and said, "Calling me Ms. Scott feels a bit formal. We've been through a life-and-death situation together. You can just call me Marissa from now on."
Tessa chuckled. Weren't things moving a bit too quickly?
Seeing that Tessa wasn't calling her by her first name, she immediately clicked her tongue and pretended to be upset. "Are you refusing to call me by my name because we're both competing for Stephen's love?"
Seeing the sincerity in Marissa's eyes, she said hesitantly, "Marissa."
Marissa's smile deepened, and she replied, "Tessa."
The whole situation felt strange yet pleasant. Could love rivals really get along with each other like that? It was quite a refreshing feeling.
Tessa smiled. "Thank you for your present. I like it a lot."
"It's good that you like it. I was honestly worried that you wouldn't like it." Marissa smiled brightly.
"I thought you were here to talk about the case," Tessa said.
"There's nothing more to discuss. I've already said everything I needed to, and I believe in your capabilities. Good luck!"
"Alright." Tessa could tell from the whole incident with Jane that Marissa was actually a very kind and pure woman.
She had treated her friend wholeheartedly, only to end up being stabbed in the back.

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. 🤣...
