His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 77
Tessa didn't even turn to look at him as she stared at her screen and continued on with her work.
"Yes, I'm suing you for defamation. Isn't it normal for me to file a lawsuit against you? Why are you so shocked?"
William's eyes flashed with hostility. "How did I defame you? Defamation implies the act of fabricating falsehoods and spreading them around. Everything I've said has been nothing but the truth."
Tessa's expression remained impassive. "You can tell that to the judge."
"Withdraw that lawsuit immediately, or I'll make you pay for it!" William threatened viciously.
Although defamation was categorized under a private prosecution, the plaintiff would have to go to court to file such a complaint.
However, the crimes committed would fall under criminal law. So once the defendant was found guilty, they would be subjected to criminal law punishment terms.
William was a lawyer, so he knew his license as a lawyer would be revoked if he was found guilty.
He would also not be allowed to take the bar exam again or engage in any jobs that were related to the law in any way, shape, or form. His career would essentially come to an end.
"Why are you getting angry? The show's just about to begin," Tessa said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?"
At that moment, Yasmin, who had also received a lawsuit, came rushing in. "Tessa, how dare you file a lawsuit against me? All I did was gossip about you. Is taking this to court really necessary?"
Tessa said calmly, "Here comes another one."
Yasmin had just received an order from the court. The order claimed that Tessa had filed a defamation case and that she was one of the defendants.
At first, she did not believe what she was reading. So, she was stupefied after clicking on the message, reading the indictment and the details of the case.
Tessa finally looked at the two angry people in her office. "You two are lawyers, yet you two keep fabricating lies and spreading them around. Don't you understand the consequences of your actions?
"Since you two seem keen on ruining both of your futures, I've decided to help you with it."
"You—" Yasmin was just about to start cursing at Tessa before she quickly stopped herself.
She forced herself to suppress her anger as she thought about how her career would really end if she was found guilty. She quickly changed her expression and her attitude.
"Ms. Yates, I'm sorry. I would like to apologize to you. I shouldn't have fabricated such lies about you. Could you please withdraw the lawsuit? I'm begging you, and I promise not to do such a thing again in the future."
Tessa smiled. "It's too late."
She looked at Yasmin coldly and said, "I've given you a chance, yet the two of you kept spreading those lies about me for days on end. Shouldn't you have come over to apologize to me back then?
"Did you think I was someone you could kick around just because I didn't fight back? Since that's the case, then the two of you can enjoy the consequences of your own actions."

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...
