His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 112

Stephen was usually cold and unsmiling, his demeanor strict and commanding.

He had a razor-sharp eye for detail, never failing to find flaws in Samson's reports and pointing out areas for improvement.

But today was different.

After listening to Samson's report, Stephen remained silent.

Samson couldn't help but steal a quick glance at him. To his surprise, Stephen was smiling, his eyes brimming with warmth and affection—he looked utterly lovestruck.

Was this really the same cold, ruthless CEO he knew?

Had he been possessed?

Samson was utterly dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Stephen was completely lost in thought, still reliving every intoxicating moment with Tessa.

Samson's words floated around him, barely registering.

It wasn't until he finally snapped back to reality that Stephen looked up. "Why are you still here?"

Samson almost choked on his own breath. He quickly cleared his throat and asked, "Mr. Jacobson, I've completed the report. Do you have any feedback or corrections?"

"You did well. You can go."

Samson was momentarily speechless.

As he walked out of the CEO's office, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had just witnessed something out of the ordinary.

Inside, Stephen remained lost in his thoughts, still basking in the warmth of the morning until his phone rang.

And just like that, the sweetness shattered.

"Mr. Jacobson, we've found Susan."

…

Susan had faked her pregnancy. After being released from the detention center, she was intercepted by Jacqueline's men and smuggled to Castellion.

However, Jacqueline never kept her promise of providing her with a safe place to stay or a stable job.

Instead, she sold her to a telecom fraud syndicate.

There, Susan endured relentless torment, her existence reduced to something worse than that of an animal.
