Stephen convinced himself that the situation was only temporary. Once he was done dealing with James, he would get Tessa back.
…
Meanwhile, Hayden stuck close to Tessa's side. "Ms. Yates, do you usually like to golf?"
Tessa moved away to create some distance between them. "I just play it casually, but I don't do it very often," she answered politely.
Hayden wasn't aware of Tessa's background, assuming that she was just a regular lawyer who only earned a few thousand dollars per month. A few thousand dollars was a laughably small amount in Hayden's eyes as it could only cover the cost of a single meal.
He wore his most charming smile. "I should have guessed as much. Just purchasing the most basic gear would probably cost you a month's worth of your salary, not to mention there are also the fees for the golf course and instructor that need to be paid for.
"An annual pass for a club like this one costs about 300,000 dollars. There's really no reason for a lawyer such as yourself to waste all your hard-earned money on a place like this."
Tessa ignored the veiled slights laced within Hayden's words. She just smiled, agreeing, "You're right."
Her smile sent a swarm of butterflies aflutter in Hayden's gut, making it arduous for him to control himself. He was used to enjoying a luxurious lifestyle, and there was never a lack of women around him. Although he had a wife at home, she wasn't the only woman in Hayden's life. He had propositioned many other women over the years.
Hayden could feel excitement bubbling in his chest. "Ms. Yates, how about I purchase a membership for you? You can accompany me to play golf in your spare time."
Tessa scoffed at him internally. She had seen through Hayden immediately. Although he was asking her to play golf with him on the surface, she knew that things would not be so simple if she did agree. He wanted to use a mere 300,000 dollars to sleep with her.

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...
