His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 72
The next day, as Tessa walked into the law firm, she immediately sensed that something was off. Whispers seemed to follow wherever she went.
She walked over to her desk and sat down. Tom, who shared an office with her, had yet to be discharged from the hospital, so she was the only one in the space.
Shortly after settling down, Sarah made an appearance. She stood at the door and knocked on it twice before saying to Tessa, "Come to my office."
Tessa knew exactly where this was going. Sarah was most probably going to ask her about yesterday evening.
In the office, Sarah sat in her work chair. Her eyes were sharp, and her expression was dark. "I sent you and William to negotiate a case yesterday evening. But I heard you ended up quarreling with the clients and beat them up instead."
Tessa explained, "I did go to negotiate the case, but those two clients had nothing but impure intentions in their heads. They tried to harass me so I simply defended myself!"
Sarah's expression darkened and she said sternly, "Tessa, I know you've got skills. You saved us the last time when we were in trouble. However, you must know that violence can't solve anything."
Tessa frowned. "I was polite to them at first, but they didn't seem to take the hint. Ms. Young, I'm a lawyer, not a pushover. We're probably better off without clients like these anyway."
Hearing this, Sarah immediately erupted in anger. She slammed her hands on the desk and yelled, "How dare you say that! Do you know how much our firm has lost because of your little act yesterday?
"A five-year legal advisory contract is worth 15 thousand dollars! And let's not forget the contract disputes and trademark infringement cases. Those two alone would have brought in at least 50 thousand dollars.
"You might've released your anger by beating them up, but what about the 65 thousand dollar loss? Are you going to make up for it?"
Tessa sneered. "Fine. I'll make up for today's loss. But from now on, don't ask me to deal with clients who have nothing but sleazy thoughts in their heads."
Sarah didn't believe Tessa had such capability. She threatened, "By the end of today, I want to see the contracts you've signed and the payment receipts from the client. If not, don't bother coming in tomorrow.
"According to the firm's policies and labor laws, you've caused significant losses for the company. Therefore, the firm has the right to dismiss you without compensation!"
Tessa replied blankly, "I got it."

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...
