His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 280

Samuel called the police, and they arrived quickly.

After assessing the situation, the officers explained that since Seline was kidnapped in Rivertown, they had the authority to file a case and conduct an investigation. They assured the family that they would work with the police in both Silverstone and Arcton to apprehend James.

However, as for the matter of who had leaked information to Zachary, the police stated that it was beyond their jurisdiction and would have to be resolved privately.

Once the officers left, Rowena, who had taken her medication, was still unwilling to let Tessa off the hook. She insisted that Tessa apologize to Jacqueline.

Tessa scoffed and replied, "Does she even deserve the apology?"

Rowena glared at her and snapped, "It's a good thing we never let you be part of the Jacobson family."

Sophia and Stephen frowned at the harsh remark.

Sophia tried to ease the tension. "Mom, please don't say that. Tessa just went through a kidnapping and nearly lost her life. And let's not forget, she was targeted because of our family. Her sister's fate is still uncertain. Yes, she lashed out at Jacqueline, but that was just a moment of impulse."

Stephen's expression darkened as he spoke coldly, "I asked Mr. Yates for Tessa's hand in marriage. She never tried to force her way into the Jacobson family. Don't say things like that again."

Samuel scoffed and said, "As if we care about the Jacobson family. Tessa, come home with me."

Tessa replied, "Alright."
