Jacqueline clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms.
"Tessa, I will make you disappear one day!"
…
Late at night, a phone call woke Tessa.
She fumbled under her pillow for her phone, barely managing to squint her eyes open. In a daze, she answered a call.
A burst of loud, chaotic noises came through almost immediately.
Tessa clicked her tongue in annoyance, moving the phone away as she was irritated.
"Who is it?" she asked impatiently, her tone full of frustration at being disturbed late at night.
The person on the other end did not respond.
"Say something!"
Still, there was no response.
Only the sound of muffled noise came through.
Tessa struggled to keep her eyes open and glanced at her phone.
It was an unfamiliar number.
"Zachary?" she asked impatiently.
Finally, there was a response on the other end.
At a bar somewhere, Zachary was completely drunk.
Two flamboyant women sat on either side of him, both leaning into him.
"Hey darling, you're drunk. Let me take you somewhere to rest." The woman on the left cooed, sliding a hand across his chest.
"Babe, let me keep you company tonight." The woman on the right purred, her tone seductive and enticing as she pressed against him.
Wendy arrived to witness this scene.
"Get lost!" she shouted furiously. "Get lost and stop flirting with my man!"
The two saw the rage and wrath of the "main girl". They then immediately stood up and left in a hurry.
Wendy glared at the thoroughly drunk Zachary. After a struggle to suppress her anger, she took a deep breath, hoisted him up, and helped him out of the bar.

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....
