His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 211

James had a tall, lean build, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His impeccable sense of style only enhanced his striking features.

When he smiled, there was an easy, approachable charm that made him seem entirely harmless.

If he chose to act the part, no one would ever associate him with the lunatic who carried half the criminal legislation on his back.

Tessa had never met James before. When she heard him call her name and noticed his designer attire, she immediately thought he must be a friend of one of her acquaintances.

James didn't introduce himself. Instead, he gave her a lingering gaze, saying, "As expected, you're truly a beauty."

Standing next to him, Yvette furrowed just slightly, jealousy flickering in her gaze before disappearing in an instant.

She had no knowledge of his deep-rooted vendettas against the Jacobson and Yates families, nor did she dare inquire about the other women in his life.

In her view, a proper lover was meant to be obedient, perceptive, and never foolish enough to pry into matters best left untouched.

Yvette stood quietly by James' side, her eyes subtly studying Tessa.

Yes, she was undoubtedly beautiful-an all-natural beauty. She had fair skin, delicate features, completely untouched by enhancements.
