Tessa realized that she had vastly underestimated the complexities of the workplace.
She had initially thought a simple meal would be enough to improve her relationship with her colleagues—but she had been overly naive.
The workplace was a brutal place, where people could tear you down without hesitation.
It was at that moment she understood; the only thing that truly mattered was a person's capability and background. No one cared about your personality or how you treated others. Sometimes, being too kind or too accommodating only made you an easier target.
Tessa stared at the screenshots on her computer screen, her jaw clenched tight. She texted Jasmine back. "Jasmine, thank you for telling me all this. Could you do me a favor?"
Jasmine quickly responded, "Of course. You saved my life, so I'll help you with anything."
"The next time they talk about me, I want you to record it for me."
Jasmine immediately replied, "Got it."
Tessa took a deep breath to calm herself before giving Samuel a call. "Hey, Dad. Does our company need a legal advisor?"
After hanging up, Tessa headed to the printing room to print several copies of contracts and then headed straight to Yates Corporation. As she reached the company, she immediately made her way to the chairman's office.
Samuel had just finished a meeting and knew that she was coming, so he was already waiting for her in the office.
Tessa tossed the contracts onto his desk. "Dad, take a look at these contracts. If there are no problems, please go ahead and sign them."
Samuel flipped through the contracts. "I've already checked with my assistant. The company's current legal advisory contract with the previous law firm expires at the end of this year. I can sign a five-year contract with your firm, but it can only start from the beginning of next year."
Tessa nodded. "No problem. But once the contract is signed this afternoon, the payment has to be made immediately."

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...
