His Unveiled Passion

One of the onlookers told Marissa everything, leaving nothing out.

Marissa turned pale with shock.

"Tessa! Tessa, are you okay?" Marissa ran toward Tessa, grabbing her hand before looking her over carefully.

"Are you hurt?" Marissa asked in concern.

Tessa shook her head.

Stephen, who was standing next to them, regarded Marissa with a cold yet probing gaze.

"Did you invite them here?" Stephen's voice was low, but anyone could tell that he was pissed.

Marissa hastily shook her head. "No, I didn't invite them here. I barely even know him."

Stephen's jaw tightened upon hearing her words. "If you didn't invite them, then why are they here?"

Marissa sounded anxious as she tried to defend herself, explaining, "It really wasn't me. Stevie, I did invite a few friends from Sudmere. However, Bruno is not one of them. He must've come aboard with one of my friends."

"Even if your friend is the one who brought him along, shouldn't you be aware of it? If I'm not mistaken, you should have a guest list, no? Are you trying to tell me that you have no idea he was on this ship?" Stephen looked at her sharply, exuding a biting chill.

Marissa fell silent at that, losing what was left of her indignance. "I did skim through the list. I didn't think much of it when I saw Bruno's name there. Still, I wouldn't have allowed him entry if I'd known he had a grudge on Tessa!"

Stephen's face was still stone cold despite her earnest demeanor.
