His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 396
Tessa raised the file folder in her hand and said calmly, "Miss, I'm here on official business. It's not what you think it is."
Maisy scoffed, her expression laced with disdain.
"If it's official, why didn't you make an appointment? Don't try to fool me. I know all the tricks. Holding a file to make it look like business? That one's been used to death."
Tessa finally understood. Clearly, many women had tried using the "business excuse" to see Stephen. It was no wonder the receptionist was on high alert.
Instead of getting annoyed, Tessa found the receptionist's seriousness rather amusing.
She decided to tease her a little. "Oh? So my trick's outdated?"
Maisy curled her lips.
"Of course it is. I fell for someone using the same move once. Let her in, and I almost got fired. Thankfully, my cousin is one of Mr. Jacobson's executive assistants. He spoke up for me, or I'd have been out of a job.
"I kept the position, but they still docked half a month's pay. So don't even try it this time. I won't let anyone get past me again."
A laugh burst from Tessa's lips. She looked at Maisy, clearly entertained, and asked with a smile, "You said your cousin works for the CEO?"
"Yeah."
Maisy then added with a sigh, "I get it. Mr. Jacobson is very handsome and all the women love him. Honestly, you're beautiful too, but you're not really his type. He's got plenty of admirers. Neither of us stands a chance."
Tessa couldn't help but smile again. She never imagined someone would one day mistake her for one of Stephen's admirers.
"So what you're saying is, you're one of his admirers too?" Tessa asked with a laugh.
Maisy, completely unsuspecting, nodded as she replied.
She gave Tessa a quick once-over. "Of course, but at least I know my limits. I know I'm not good enough for him. But you're stunning. You could have any man you want. Just take my advice, and don't fixate on someone you'll never get. Mr. Jacobson already has Ms. Scott."
Tessa's smile faded slightly.
"Ms. Scott?"

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...
