Zachary stared at the sunlight streaming through the window and said in a low voice, "It's Tessa."
Zion exclaimed in surprise, "What? Tessa? She's getting engaged? To whom?"
"It doesn't matter who!" Zachary's voice sounded maniacal. "I won't let her marry that man. She can only ever be mine! I'll win her back no matter what!"
Zion was left momentarily stunned by Zachary's declaration. He hesitated before saying cautiously, "Zachary, don't you think that's kinda immoral?"
Zachary chuckled coldly. "Immoral? I don't care about morality. I just need her by my side."
Upon hearing this, Zion was utterly speechless.
Was Zachary being serious? When he and Tessa were together, he treated her as nothing more than a mere replacement for Wendy. Then, the moment Wendy returned, he immediately tossed Tessa aside to be with her.
And now, with their relationship over and Tessa about to get engaged soon, he was suddenly trying to act all loving and devoted. He even had the audacity to say that morality didn't matter and that he just wanted her by her side.
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
Zion sighed and said, "I'm not well-versed in stealing other people's fiancée, but good luck."

During the weekend, Stephen had personally prepared lunch for Tessa at Marina Apartment.
After the meal, Tessa said, "I have plans with my colleague this afternoon. We're going to visit one of our coworkers who's in the hospital."
"Is it the victim from the previous knife attack incident?"
Tessa nodded. "Yup. I'm going with a few of my colleagues from the litigation department. We're planning to buy some flowers, fruits, and other gifts on the way there."
Tessa frowned. "What's the problem?"
Yasmin chuckled. "There's no problem. I just didn't peg you for the type, Ms. Yates."
Standing nearby was her male colleague, William Kiernan. He asked in curiosity, "Who was that, Ms. Yates?'
Tessa answered honestly, "My boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Yasmin snickered and said in a taunting voice, "Oh, sure. We get it."
Tessa simply ignored her. She grabbed the fruit basket and walked into the hospital. "Excuse me, I'm going to visit Mr. Zimmer."
As Tessa walked away, Yasmin stared at her departing figure and whispered to William, "That man driving the Rolls-Royce just now was most definitely Tessa's sugar daddy. Who would've thought?"

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....
