His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 189
Tessa smiled. "It's my treat. Come on, there's no need to be so formal with me."
After everything they'd been through with Lucas and Anne, Tessa and Jasmine had grown closer. By now, they were more than just colleagues—they were friends.
Jasmine still looked a little uneasy. "But... I don't know if this is right."
"You're feeling down. As your friend, what's wrong with treating you to a nice meal to cheer you up?"
Jasmine pressed her lips together and was touched by Tessa's kindness. "Then... thank you, Ms. Yates."
"We're off the clock. Don't call me Ms. Yates—it sounds so distant. Just call me Tess or Tessa."
Jasmine smiled. "Alright, Tessa."
Tessa found a table by the window. "The view here's great. You can see the city lights."
Jasmine hummed in acknowledgment and sat across from her, still a little reserved.
"Order whatever you'd like." Tessa handed her the menu.
Jasmine waved her hands quickly. "You go ahead and order, Tessa. I'm fine with anything."
Noticing her shyness, Tessa nodded, took the menu back, and ordered a few signature barbecue dishes along with some vegetables.
The raw meat was soon brought out, and the waitstaff handled all the grilling.
Once the server had finished cooking and placed the meat onto their plates, Tessa politely thanked them before they left.
"Alright, tell me what happened," she prompted.
Now that they were alone and the mood was right, Jasmine opened up. "It's nothing too serious... I just got yelled at by Ms. Jennings today."
"Felicia?"
"Yeah."
Felicia Jennings was Jasmine's supervising lawyer. Though Tessa hadn't interacted with her much, she'd heard colleagues mention that Felicia had a notoriously unpredictable temperament. On good days, she could be gentle and kind, but when her mood soured, she had a habit of taking her frustration out on her assistants.

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...
