His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 162

Jacqueline's eyes widened as her lips trembled.

Rowena furrowed her brows and barked in displeasure, "Stephen!"

Stephen ignored her entirely. Instead, his sharp gaze never left Jacqueline. "You'll also grovel before Tess and apologize."

His eyes were so piercing that it felt as though they were blades slicing Jacqueline apart.

Jacqueline's complexion turned white as a sheet, and she turned to look at Rowena pitifully. Then, she started sobbing. "Grandma…"

Rowena felt her heart ache at the sight. So, she cast a slightly reproachful look at Stephen. "Stephen, Jacqueline has indeed made mistakes, especially with the engagement ceremony incident. I will punish her myself, but choosing to expel her from the family? Don't you think you've gone too far?"

Tessa tugged her lips as a glint of mockery flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent.

Caleb knew all the filthy details. So, he tugged Rowena gently and said sternly, "Mom, please."

Rowena had a weak heart. As such, the Jacobsons chose to hide Jacqueline's murderous deeds out of fear that Rowena might collapse.

Meanwhile, Stephen was losing his patience. His expression was stony and severe. "I told you to beg for forgiveness, Jacqueline. Did you not hear me?"

"How could the Jacobsons' heiress grovel before another?" Rowena exclaimed with her nostrils flaring in offense while her chest heaved with anger. "Stephen, I already said I'll punish her! Why are you making things so difficult for Jacqueline? She's your sister!"

"My sister, you say?" Stephen sneered. "She's no longer a Jacobson."

Rowena raised her voice as she questioned Stephen out of sheer rage, "How could you be so heartless? You used to spoil Jacqueline. Why are you so determined to drive her out?"

Stephen narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous air as he retorted, "Grandma, Jacqueline covets me, her brother. She has committed numerous crimes, including murder! Are you still going to defend her after knowing all this?"

Stephen's words caught Rowena off guard. She turned white as a sheet, and her eyes were as wide as saucers. "What did you just say?" she blurted in shock.
