Tessa quickly relayed the full details of the knife attack incident.
The assailant, Jason Howard, was the owner and legal representative of a private company. He had been sued by another company over a contract dispute. Tom had represented Jason's opponents in the lawsuit, securing a victory.
Following the court ruling, Jason was held liable for breach of contract and ordered to pay significant compensation. During the enforcement phase, the court froze his company's accounts.
Shortly after, Tom uncovered evidence of commingled personal and corporate assets as well as financial misconduct by Jason. After filing another lawsuit, the court seized Jason's real estate and impounded movable assets of equivalent value.
At the same time, Jason's wife had an affair and eloped with another man, absconding with the family's money.
This chain of events left Jason desperate and without options. He blamed the lawyers at Shelton Law Firm for the downfall of his life and decided to take revenge with the knife attack.
Fortunately, Tom was rescued in time and was no longer in critical condition.
In response to the incident, the law firm specifically converted a room into a security office. Two tall and muscular security guards were stationed there.
Tessa recognized them as the bodyguards Stephen had arranged for her.
…
Meanwhile, Zachary spent two weeks recovering in the hospital.
During this time, he repeatedly borrowed his assistant's phone to call Tessa, but she never answered. She didn't visit him either.
Zachary found himself constantly staring at the hospital room door. Each time it opened, he held his breath, hoping it would be Tessa. But every time, he was left disappointed.
He tormented himself daily by replaying scenes of Tessa with Stephen, his heart twisting in agony with every thought.
After enduring two weeks of physical and emotional misery in the hospital, Zachary was finally discharged. Since Tessa refused to see him, he decided to go to her instead. He couldn't wait any longer.
On the day of his discharge, Zachary walked ahead, his assistant and Wendy following closely.
"Has everything been arranged with Somerton Group?" he asked the assistant while heading toward the parking lot.

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...
