His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 60
At the auction house, the atmosphere was elegant and refined.
The auctioneer, dressed in a sophisticated navy dress, exuded grace. Her poised demeanor and charm captivated the audience, effortlessly commanding their attention.
The earlier auction items failed to catch the interest of either Stephen or Zachary. But soon after, the pink diamond necklace was unveiled.
The auctioneer briefly introduced the necklace, emphasizing its rarity and royal heritage, before announcing the starting bid at four million dollars.
Without hesitation, Zachary raised his paddle.
After several rounds of bidding, the price quickly climbed to six million dollars, leaving only a few competitors in contention.
Determined, Zachary raised his paddle again, increasing the bid to 6.2 million dollars.
The auctioneer gestured gracefully. "The current bid is at 6.2 million dollars. Would anyone like to raise it to 6.5 million dollars?"
Stephen, composed as ever, raised his paddle.
The auctioneer smiled in his direction. "We're now at 6.5 million dollars. Is there a bidder for 6.6?"
Zachary shot a glare toward Stephen, his expression darkening as he raised his paddle again.
"We're at 6.6 million dollars! The bid returns to Paddle 20. Will anyone go higher? Perhaps 6.8 million dollars?"
Stephen raised his paddle once more.
The auctioneer acknowledged him with a nod. "We're now at 6.8 million. Are there any further bids?"
Determined to secure the necklace, Zachary gritted his teeth and raised the bid to seven million dollars.
Seven million dollars was a reasonable investment for him. If Uriah's cousin appreciated the gift, it could pave the way for a partnership between Gomez Group and Somerton Group, yielding returns worth ten times the cost.
People said that one must take risks to secure the prize. Zachary was determined to win this necklace.
The auctioneer's voice was confident. "Seven million dollars! The bid returns to Paddle 20. Would anyone like to go higher?"
Once again, Stephen raised his paddle.

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...
