Samuel was furious. Moments ago, Stephen was still in critical condition and fighting for his life, so he had to hold back his anger. Now that the danger has passed, he no longer restrained himself.
He raised his voice, demanding, "What's the deal with Stephen's pursuer? Our child never provoked her, yet she resorted to kidnapping and stabbing. This is utterly lawless!"
After a moment of silence, Ralph turned to Tessa, his gaze sharp.
"Tessa, what happened on the rooftop? How did Stephen get injured?"
Tessa lowered her head. "It's all my fault."
Sophia quickly looked at her. "Tessa, what do you mean by that?"
Tessa recounted the event in its entirety.
Rowena spoke in a reproachful tone, "So Stephen took that knife for you?"
Tessa pressed her lips together. "Yes."
Rowena was displeased. "Tessa, you were too impulsive. We had already called for the cops, and there were bodyguards at the manor. Couldn't you have waited a bit longer? If not for your rash actions, Stephen wouldn't have been injured for no reason."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Jacobson Senior. It's all my fault," Tessa said in a strained voice, bowing her head even lower.
Rowena pressed further, "You haven't even entered the family, yet you've caused such a disaster."
Samuel's face darkened. "Rowena, what do you mean by that? It was clearly Stephen who attracted the trouble. My daughter is the victim here. How dare you blame her?"
Samuel coldly added, "It's easy for you to say that she should've just waited. That woman kidnapped my youngest daughter, held a knife to her neck, and even threatened to kill Seline if Tessa didn't go. And you're making your judgment from a safe distance?"

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. 🤣...
