His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 386

Right in the middle of the room, the man seated there was none other than Stephen!

At first, Stephen didn't even glance toward the door.

It was only when Blake had noticed Wendy's odd behavior that he asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

Wendy wanted to run away, but Blake quickly grabbed her. "Why are you running? Don't you want to flee the country anymore?"

The commotion had attracted some attention, and a few people turned to look.

Someone seemed to have recognised Wendy, and they immediately exclaimed in shock, "Isn't that Wendy? Why did you bring her here?"

The scandal where Wendy had slandered Tessa online and incited her followers to cyberbully Tessa had caused quite the stir.

Many wealthy heirs who didn't know who Wendy was before had heard of her name because of the scandal.

When Stephen heard Wendy's name, he immediately turned to look at them. His gaze was sharp like an eagle, and there was a terrifying chill in his eyes.

Wendy felt her heart drop as chills ran down her spine.

It was over for her. There was no way that she'd be able to leave the country anymore.

Fred knew about the incident between Wendy and Tessa, and he quickly realized that the friend Blake wanted him to smuggle out of the country was Wendy.

His expression darkened as he questioned Blake, "Is she the friend you were referring to?"

Blake wasn't aware that Fred was acquainted with Stephen. He was in the same social circle as Wendy and Zachary, so he was well aware of the bad blood between Wendy and Tessa.

"Bring her here," Stephen ordered coldly.

Not daring to go against Stephen's orders, Blake could only bite the bullet and drag Wendy over.

"Deal with it. Her lawsuit with Tess isn't over yet, so she can't leave the country," Stephen said.

Fred quickly nodded and smiled apologetically. "I will. I'll definitely take care of it. Don't be angry, Mr. Jacobson."

Throughout the entire encounter, Stephen had not spoken a single word to Wendy.

…

On that same day, Stephen called Tessa and informed her of Wendy's plan to flee the country.

Tessa did not say much to him, but she did thank him.

After ending the call, Stephen raised his eyebrow. At least Wendy still had some use as she had given him the perfect excuse to call Tessa.

He had not talked to Tessa for a few days now, and he missed her dearly. If it weren't for Wendy's idiotic plan, he would not have had the chance to hear Tessa's voice.
