Honestly, finding out the truth had been quite a coincidence. James had taken his most recent squeeze to purchase some accessories at a jewelry store and ended up getting involved with the saleswoman there.
James was a Casanova, leading a debauched lifestyle. So, he had the tendency of trying and succeeding in bedding attractive women who caught his eye.
When he spent over two million dollars on a necklace for his side chick, not only did he appease her, but he also flaunted his wealth to the saleswoman.
Then, once his side chick went to powder her nose, he asked for the saleswoman's number.
On that same night, they tumbled in bed together.
James then met up with the saleswoman on Valentine's Day evening.
After they were done having their fun in a couple-themed suite, James tossed a card to her and said, "Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart. Spend it as you wish."
The woman accepted the card with a smile and drawled suggestively, "James, you never put any thought into choosing a gift for me. You've always just given me money.
"Today, a gentleman bought a Valentine's Day limited edition necklace priced at 999-thousand dollars. Gosh, I'm so envious. He must really love her."
James scoffed as he leaned against the headboard while nonchalantly taking a puff after sex.
Still, he was in a good mood after having his needs satiated. So, he wasn't angered by her words. Instead, he smiled and patiently replied, "There's over a million in the card. Just buy whatever you'd like with it. Don't you know money is more than enough? What did you expect? Love?"
The woman leaned over, rested her head on his chest, and said coyly, "I was just saying."
James flicked the ash from his cigarette. His expression was indifferent as he answered, "Don't mention the word 'love' again."
"I understand."
James didn't take the matter to heart. Yet, Stephen seemed to have lit a fire under his ass and started to get on James' case after Valentine's Day.
All it took was a minor mistake on Cayden's part, and Stephen's people immediately seized him like a dog to a bone.
Soon after that, the authorities came banging at Cayden's door. Even the companies under Cayden's subordinates were under investigation.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled the saleswoman's words on Valentine's Day. She had claimed that someone had bought a 999-thousand dollar necklace for his girlfriend. There weren't many people in Rivertown who could afford to spend so lavishly.
James hastily gave the saleswoman a call to inquire about the person who bought the necklace.
Fortunately, the incident left a deep impression on her, and she had specifically noted the man's information. So, when James asked her about it, she replied truthfully, "He looked to be in his 30s, about five feet six? He was quite lanky. If I'm not mistaken, his surname's Lohan."
"And the address? Who was the recipient?" James pressed.
"Oh, he had it sent to a high-end residential area in Rivertown. The recipient was Ms. Yates," she answered.
James almost instantaneously concluded that the person the saleswoman was referring to was none other than Tessa.
He was so infuriated that he let out a bark of angered laughter. Nevertheless, he asked the saleswoman to send him the store's surveillance footage on Valentine's Day.
The saleswoman didn't make him wait long before sending him the video.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
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....
