His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 314

Stephen headed straight to his base after he was done handling Jacobson Corporation-related affairs.

Stephen stood a short distance away from Jacqueline, who was still confined to the basement.

"Steve! You've finally come to see me, Steve!" Jacqueline grew hysterical the second she laid eyes on Stephen, crying loudly as she tried to run to him.

Her voice was hoarse. Coupled with the dark basement, she sounded like something out of a horror movie.

Unfortunately for her, she was leashed to the iron gate nearby. She was tethered to it like a common mutt, stripped of whatever dignity she once had.

Stephen furrowed his brows in displeasure as a heavy air radiated from him. "Who gave you the permission to call me so familiarly?"

Jacqueline stiffened at his words before laughing bitterly.

"Why can't I call you that? Do you want me to call you Stephen instead?" The look on her face twisted into something odd before she smiled. "I can do that. I can call you Stephen. I like you the most, Stephen."

The frown on Stephen's face deepened. "Do you even hear yourself?"
