His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 184
The call ended abruptly.
"Stop overthinking." That phrase echoed in Tessa's mind like a curse over and over again. She felt a chill in her heart.
All the warmth and tenderness Stephen had once showered her with seemed to be slipping away little by little.
Outside the window, snow continued to fall. The biting wind howled, shaking the branches of the trees.
Tessa stared blankly at the swirling snowflakes beyond the glass. After a brief silence, her phone began ringing wildly again.
Tear stains still clung to her cheeks, and the blaring ringtone suddenly made her feel very tired.
It was Samuel calling. "Tess, the Jacobson family came by today to break off the engagement."
Her heart had ached so long that now it just felt numb. She gave a low hum of acknowledgment.
Samuel paused as if hesitating to say more. "Stephen's been caught up in a scandal with that actress. Did you see it?"
She stayed silent, offering no response.
After a moment, Samuel added, "I'll have someone hold a press conference tomorrow. We'll announce the termination of the engagement in front of the media. The blame's entirely on the Jacobson family this time.
"Tess, you've got nothing to feel ashamed of. A broken engagement isn't a disgrace. I will find you someone better. You're so beautiful and talented that you can have any man you want."
Still, Tessa said nothing. She didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected the Jacobson family to move so fast.
Stephen had just broken up with her last night, and now, they were already here to call off the engagement.
Was he really that eager?
The thought of the sultry female voice she'd heard on the phone moments ago sent a dull ache through her chest. Was Stephen in such a hurry to cut ties with her because he wanted to make things official with Nancy as soon as possible?
"Tess, get some rest," Samuel said. "After the press conference tomorrow, I'll send someone to pick you up and bring you home."
Once the engagement was formally dissolved, the Yates family would have no ties left to the Jacobson family. Hopefully, James would then stop thinking about going after them. With that thought in mind, Samuel offered a few more words of comfort, reminding her not to dwell on her sadness.
Tessa responded with a few halfhearted acknowledgments.

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...
