Only 20 minutes remained before the engagement banquet was set to begin, and Seline was nowhere to be found.
Marianne was so anxious that tears started streaming down her face. She explained, "We were just chatting in the lounge a moment ago. Seline said she wanted to go out and play for a bit. I let her go, but I can't find her at all!"
Sophia tried to comfort her. "Don't worry. Everyone here today is a guest invited to attend the engagement ceremony. Seline won't be in any danger.
"She might have just wandered outside the villa. The estate is vast, so it's normal that she can't be found right away. We can check the surveillance camera first."
Tessa suggested, "My father has already gone to check the surveillance. Let's split up and look for her. We should send out more people to search."
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted in the crowd ahead.
They turned to look and instantly went pale with fright.
The electronic screen originally intended to play a short film for the engagement ceremony was instead playing a video of the kidnapped Seline, crying and screaming in fear.
"Dad, Mom, Tessa, where are you? I want my mom! Let me go! Mom, I've been taken by bad guys. Please come and save me!"
On the screen, Seline was tied to a chair, crying and struggling desperately.
Marianne's legs gave out, and she nearly fainted. Luckily, Tessa supported her. "Ms. Connors…"
"Tessa, what are we going to do about Seline? Think of something…" Marianne sobbed so uncontrollably that she could barely form sentences. "How could this happen? How could Seline be kidnapped? I can't…"
Her cries turned into wails of despair. "If something happens to Seline, I don't want to live anymore!"
"How could this happen? Weren't all the attendees here today guests from our two families? How could someone kidnap Seline?" Sophia was bewildered.
At that moment, a distorted, eerie voice came from the hall's broadcast system.
"Tessa, if you want your sister to live, come to the rooftop."

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. 🤣...
