His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 392
The case Marissa brought in was a complicated equity dispute.
The situation was messy, the evidence incomplete, and the litigation risks significant. For someone like Tessa, who had only been practicing law for a little over three years, it was undoubtedly a tough case to take on.
On the surface, Marissa had come to entrust her with a case. In truth, she was here to test her or perhaps even stir up trouble.
If Tessa refused to take the case, Marissa could easily question her qualifications or professionalism. If she accepted it and ended up losing, that too would be a blow to her reputation, proof that she was not on the same level.
At least at this stage, in terms of career success, Marissa had the upper hand.
After reviewing the basic details of the case, Tessa had a general understanding of the situation.
She glanced through the materials Marissa had forwarded and began forming her strategy.
Her expression was calm, and she asked, "Are you requesting that I handle this case personally?"
"Yes. I trust you, Ms. Yates," Marissa said with a smile.
"Our firm's attorneys are all highly capable and professionally trained. But since you've specifically requested me, I'll take it," Tessa replied evenly.
Marissa was slightly surprised. She had not expected Tessa to agree so readily.
Did she not understand how difficult this case was? Or just how high the risk of losing would be?
"That quick? Don't you want to think it over?" Marissa asked.
Tessa smiled faintly. "The evidence is incomplete, and the dispute itself is complex. Ms. Scott, I'm sure you understand this case carries significant risk."
"I do."
"Litigation never comes with guaranteed wins. Every case has its risks, and while this one is particularly challenging, I haven't encountered anything this complicated in a long time. I'd like to give it a try," Tessa said, still calm.
A subtle spark lit her eyes. Her gaze was steady and sharp. "I enjoy taking on difficult cases. If I win this one, my name will be known. It's a risk, but also an opportunity. I'm ready for the challenge."
Marissa was momentarily stunned.
In Tessa's eyes, Marissa saw courage, confidence, resilience, and a vivid spark of life.
Before coming here, she had assumed Tessa was nothing more than a pretty face riding on her family's coattails.

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...
