His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 124

Zachary's intention must be to drive a wedge into Tessa and Stephen's relationship!

Stephen was willing to risk his own life for Tessa's safety. He hadn't hesitated for even a second when he threw himself in front of her to block the knife that was meant for her. How could his feelings for her be fake?

As for the voice recordings-even if they were real, they had no beginning or end. They proved nothing. Only Susan's voice was on the recording while Stephen's voice was not present. Zachary had let her listen to the recording because he wanted Tessa to be suspicious of Stephen.

Tessa would not let his heinous ploy succeed.

Stephen had promised to tell her everything in person after he was done handling the urgent matter occupying his attention. Tessa only had to be patient and wait for him. She mustn't let herself be led astray by Zachary's baseless accusations.

Zachary had mentioned that Susan was pregnant, but who could prove that Susan hadn't been lying about that? Even if she was telling the truth, there was no proof that the father of the baby was Stephen. Zachary wanted Tessa to succumb to her doubt, wanting her to believe that the baby Susan was carrying belonged to Stephen.

Tessa would not allow Zachary's malice to win. By the time she arrived at this conclusion, she had calmed down significantly. Her turbulent emotions had also returned to a state of normalcy.

She turned on her phone and sent Stephen a message, writing, "Stephen, why didn't you answer my call earlier? Is the matter you're dealing with very tedious? After you're done, give me a call tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."
