His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 265

Sophia demanded anxiously, "What happened? Is there any news about Tess?" "That was Stephen," Caleb answered.

Caleb's expression was grave. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke. "Tessa was abducted, and the person behind it was... James."

"James? Sophia's expression changed immediately. "Him again? Tess has never wronged him even once. Why did he abduct Tess? I'd understand if he abducted Tess as revenge on Stephen if they were still engaged. However, Stephen and Tess have long since broken their engagement!"

Sophia frowned deeply. "Stephen's scandal with Nancy is still all over the news, and very few people are aware of who she truly is. James definitely wouldn't have any idea about it. Plus, the Yates family has been left alone for a while now, so why would James abduct Tess all of a sudden?"

Sophia felt a headache coming on just trying to make sense of this mess, while Caleb listened to her with growing frustration.

He rubbed his temples in annoyance and grumbled, "How am I supposed to know? Stephen said he'd be back soon. Let's discuss this with him later. Oh, right. I'll call Samuel over too."

Sophia was genuinely worried about Tessa's safety. Therefore, the thought of James hurting Tessa made her glare at Caleb, muttering disparagingly, "James. James. James. It's always James. Caleb, look at the mess you've made! If you hadn't—"

Caleb became irritated by her bringing up old receipts and lost his patience, cutting her off in a harsh tone, "Enough! It's been so many years since then. What's the point of bringing it up now?"
