His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 218
Tessa lowered her gaze, her eyes lingering on the key for a moment before shifting to the white McLaren parked in the distance.
Her tone was calm and measured. "Quentin, if I remember correctly, the starting price for a McLaren P1 is over 12 million, right? You really didn't have to spend this much just to apologize for what happened on New Year's Eve."
Unfazed, Quentin pressed on with his lie, "Of course I do. I upset you that night, and Naomi hasn't stopped nagging me about it. 12 million is nothing. I know you don't need it, but please accept this small gesture. Otherwise, Naomi will keep on at me. Just do this for me, okay?"
Her expression remained composed, her clear, bright eyes meeting Quentin's.
"Quentin, tell me the truth. Did Stephen buy this car? Go back and tell him I don't want it. We've broken up, and that's the end of it—I don't want any ties left between us."
He felt a wave of unease wash over him, realizing that lawyers weren't so easily fooled.
Fortunately, he had already spoken to Naomi beforehand.
Naomi had been endlessly complaining about Stephen lately, so when Stephen asked Quentin to deliver the car, Quentin didn't hesitate to fill Naomi in.
He explained that Stephen was feeling guilty and had bought the car as a form of compensation for the breakup.
Naomi rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. "A car? That's it? Stephen's such a cheapskate."
"Well, it's not just the car," Quentin added. "There are also a few limited-edition Hermès bags in it. Stephen said that you and Sienna each get one, and the remaining one is for Tessa.
"But you'll need to help us out—tell Tessa that you and Sienna bought the bags to comfort her, and don't mention Stephen."
When Naomi heard about the Hermès bags, her eyes lit up. "Bags? Where are they? Let me see!"
Quentin led Naomi over to the bags, and her excitement was almost palpable. "Oh my gosh, I've wanted this white one forever, but it was always sold out!
"Stephen really knows how to get things done—he managed to snag three! What great taste! Sienna and Tessa are going to love these. Now we can each have one. Stephen really thought this through."
Quentin then pulled out an exclusive credit card and handed it to her. "Here, take this. Tessa's law firm will be on break for the holidays soon. Take her on a trip to clear her head—everything's covered by Stephen."
She grabbed the card with a scoff. "Now that's more like it. But don't think I'm on his side just because I'm taking his stuff. Stephen's still a heartless jerk in my book!"
He let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "Yeah, whatever you say. Just make sure you and Sienna look after Tessa during this time."
He still couldn't bring himself to tell Naomi the truth behind Stephen and Tessa's breakup.
If Stephen was going to take the heat, then so be it. It was his mess to sort out.
A few insults wouldn't ruin him.

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...
