His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 497

Inside the top-floor presidential suite of a hotel in Sableton, Hazel wore a revealing black lace slip dress paired with black stockings.

Her hair was styled into a bun on the left side of her head, with a loose strand cascading over her chest. She looked every bit the seductress.

Roughly ten minutes earlier, Hazel had used a room card she had stolen from Samson to sneak into Stephen's suite.

The bathroom lights were on, and the water ran steadily inside as Stephen was taking a shower. His phone was left on the counter outside.

She remembered that when they had run into each other at a restaurant, Stephen had introduced the woman with him as his girlfriend, Tessa. It became clear that the one calling was his girlfriend.

Driven by jealousy, Hazel picked up the phone. Her voice was deliberately provocative, calculated to mislead Tessa into thinking that she and Stephen were alone together in the hotel room.
