Tessa nodded and said, "Please come in."
She waited for Lester to enter her office before asking, "Are you here to discuss the Helio case with me? I was about to look for you, actually. The case is a challenging one, so I wanted to get your opinion on it."
Helio was a biotechnology company, and the president was Samuel's late friend. Tessa had only opened her law firm for business recently, but Helio had already entrusted several cases to her. Amongst the cases was one that was rather complicated. There wasn't enough evidence, so they would be taking a huge risk if they escalated the case to court.
However, Lester shook his head. "I'm not here for the Helio case."
She lifted her gaze and looked at him in confusion. "Why are you here, then?"
"You've been looking troubled lately."
Tessa was stunned for a moment before she asked, "You can tell?"
"Yeah," he answered with a smile. "You're always distracted recently. You're practically carrying a sign over your head that says 'I'm troubled'."
"Is it really that obvious?" she asked while pressing her lips together.
"It's that obvious," he replied.
"Fine." Tessa lowered her eyes before she said in a melancholic voice, "Something happened at home recently."
Lester's eyes darkened. His tone was dripping with concern when he asked, "Can I ask what happened?"
Tessa pondered his question for a moment before she decided to share. "Something happened to my younger sister. Her mental state is unstable, so I'm really worried about her."
"I know the best psychiatrist in the country," Lester said. "Perhaps I can give you a hand."
Tessa shook her head. "There's no need for now. We already have a live-in psychiatrist who's taking care of her. We'll see if her treatment shows any results, and I'll contact you if it doesn't work out. Thank you, Mr. Cooper."
Lester's gaze was gentle when he said, "There's no need to thank me."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
