Stephen's expression was cold, his tone indifferent. "It's not a movie. I need you to act in a real-life drama with me."
Nancy's mouth twitched. "What are you talking about?"
"You're going to play the role of my rumored girlfriend."
"So you're involved with a woman who's hard to shake off, and you want me to be your shield?"
Nancy's eyes lit up with curiosity, her expression turning mischievous. "That doesn't make sense. Given your status as Rivertown's golden boy, who would dare to cling to you? Besides, don't you already have a fiancée?"
Stephen's expression darkened instantly. "Tessa is not a clingy woman. She's the only woman I've ever loved."
Nancy was stunned, taking a moment to process his words.
Stephen, rarely patient, took the time to explain the situation to her.
After hearing him out, Nancy let out a long sigh. "Ah, your fiancée is so pitiful. Can I refuse? I haven't even met her yet, and now you want me to play the other woman in her love story? How am I supposed to face her after this?"
"This is your payment," Stephen said, handing her a card.
Nancy snorted and turned away. "Don't think you can buy me off with money. I won't do anything to hurt another woman!"
"Five million dollars."
"But then again..." Nancy's smile returned as she snatched the card. "We're protecting Tessa. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine. I'm sure she's generous and will understand our good intentions!"
Nancy thought to herself, "Tessa, please don't blame me. He's offering way too much."
She usually had to work herself to the bone for months on a TV drama to earn five million dollars, and that was before taxes. But now, all she had to do was play along with Stephen, take a few photos, and she'd get the same amount. Where else could she find such a sweet deal?

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
