His Unveiled Passion

Tessa lowered her gaze and said sadly, "My dad wants me to break up with Stephen, but I don't want to."

Molly and Jasmine exchanged looks.

Then, Jasmine asked, "Is it because of that illegitimate son from the Jacobson family?"

Jasmine and Molly had been there when James' men had attacked Tessa for revenge, and they had nearly died in the attack.

Luckily, Wynn had been with them at the time.

Molly and Jasmine still had a lingering sense of fear whenever they thought about that incident.

When the police concluded the investigation report, Tessa had briefly explained the situation that led to the incident. Molly and Jasmine were informed that the Jacobson family had an illegitimate son. They just weren't aware of the minute details.

Hence, when Tessa heard Jasmine's question, she nodded and replied, "Yes. That very illegitimate son had Arcton's prime minister backing him from behind the scenes. Needless to say, the guy had a lot of power.

"Because of my relationship with Stephen back then, my family and I were dragged into the mess countless times. That's why my dad is so against our relationship."

Jasmine said, "That's understandable."

After taking two more swigs of alcohol, Tessa's face turned beet red. "But the Jacobson's illegitimate son has already been captured by the police.
