His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 266

Stephen had just returned to the Jacobson residence when Jacqueline's car pulled into the underground parking lot of the very same residence.

The two entered the villa one after another.

Rowena, Caleb, and Sophia were sitting on the couch, waiting for them in the hall.

Stephen looked harried as soon as he entered, saying, "Tess' friend was the one who called the police because they couldn't reach her and worried that something bad had happened. The police then contacted the Yates family to confirm if Tess was missing.

"The police still have no idea that James is the one behind it. Since she has only been missing for a few hours, they can't and won't file a missing person's case just yet."

Stephen's expression was stern, and his dark eyes were cold. "James called and wants me to meet him alone_"

"You can't! Stephen, you can't go alone!" Jacqueline interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

Jacqueline had been in a fantastic mood ever since she learned that James had abducted Tessa. She had even been humming a tune on her way home.

However, her good mood evaporated the second she heard Stephen say he planned to rescue Tessa alone.

Jacqueline, who was extremely agitated and nervous, blabbered, "James definitely won't let you leave that place alive. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. We should call the police and have them accompany you!"

Stephen frowned and intoned severely, "No, we can't tell them anything. If James finds out we've gotten in touch with the police, he'll kill her immediately."
