His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 242
Stephen said, "We just haven't had the chance to tell you yet."
He glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. I need to grab the documents and go."
Rowena's expression darkened, and her tone was reproachful. "You're not leaving until after dinner. If anything comes up, I'll handle it."
Stephen replied casually, "That's not how it works. You don't have the authority to speak for the company, do you? Just wait. You'll be getting a call soon about a board meeting."
Without another word, he ignored everyone in the hall and headed upstairs.
The Webbs exchanged glances.
Thomas spoke up first. "Mrs. Jacobson Senior, does Stephen not realize this dinner is meant to formally introduce him to Jocelyn? Doesn't he know that both our families agreed to set this up?"
Even though Thomas was two years older than Rowena, her status and influence meant he had to address her respectfully as "Mrs. Jacobson Senior".
His words were polite enough not to put Rowena on the spot.
But Aria didn't bother hiding her frustration. "Mrs. Jacobson Senior, what is Stephen's deal? Jocelyn is standing right in front of him, and he just ignored her. Is he playing dumb, or does he seriously not know what this dinner is about?"
Jacqueline lowered her head to hide the sneer in her eyes.
Did Aria seriously believe Jocelyn was worthy of Stephen's attention? Was Jocelyn really that desperate to marry into the family that she had chased him all the way here?
Stephen had just outright denied Rowena in front of everyone. As much as it stung, she had no choice but to force a smile while handling the Webbs' questions.
She said, "Aria, you've got it wrong. Stephen was probably just in a rush to grab something from the study, so he didn't have time to say hi to Jocelyn. Once he comes back down, I'll introduce them properly."
Aria wanted to say more, but Thomas shot her a look that silenced her.

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...
