"Quick! Get Mrs. Jacobson Senior's medicine!" Caleb shouted at the servants.
One of them rushed off immediately.
Stephen's voice was calm but firm. "Since Grandma wants to call the police, let's call them. I'd like to know who leaked the information too. How did James find out where Tessa was? And how did he know the real reason behind our breakup and the canceled engagement?"
As he spoke, his sharp gaze landed on Jacqueline. "You. Stay right here and wait for the police."
Jacqueline's eyes welled up with tears. "Stephen, how can you not believe me? When your life was on the line, do you really think I would betray you?"
Before Stephen could respond, Rowena's furious voice cut through the tension. "Samuel, get out! Get out of this house! The Jacobson family doesn't welcome you!" Her glare was filled with rage.
Stephen's voice was cold. "Grandma, that's enough."
He still called her "Grandma", but his tone left no room for argument. It was an order—not a plea.
Rowena felt her heart sink as she realized her beloved grandson was siding with Tessa and speaking to her in such a tone.
"I'm not going anywhere," Samuel shot back, glaring at Rowena. "Call the police! I'll wait for them to uncover the truth."
Caleb stepped in to mediate. "Enough. We're all family here. Let's all calm down."
He turned to Rowena and continued, "Mom, don't get so worked up. You'll risk getting a heart attack. Why don't you go upstairs and rest? Stephen and I can handle this."
Her words only further enraged Rowena. Seeing Rowena struggling to catch her breath, the housekeeper quickly administered her medicine.
Caleb frowned at Tessa. "You should tone it down too."
Tessa snorted. "I'm not your daughter-in-law anymore. Why should I listen to you?"
Her retort left Caleb speechless.
"No one's calling the police?" Samuel pulled out his phone. "I'll do it, then."

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....
