Stephen's fingers began tapping rhythmically on the edge of his desk. "Have you talked to the Gomez family?"
Samson replied, "We did, and their response is the same as before. Mr. Gomez claims to have not known that Susan was one of your admirers and that she was merely his companion for that night."
…
On Friday morning at Shelton Law Firm, Vivian, the head of the litigation department, sent a message in the department's group chat.
The message read, "There will be a department dinner tonight, and all employees in the litigation department are welcome to join. I'll share the time and location in the group later."
Shortly after the message was sent, Jasmine messaged Tessa privately. "Ms. Yates, will you be going to tonight's dinner?"
Jasmine had always been close to Tessa, and ever since Tessa had saved her from a criminal, she had been deeply grateful and admired her immensely.
She had practically become Tessa's little fangirl.
Later, Vivian assigned Jasmine to work as Tessa's assistant, and the two became friends.
Tessa replied, "Yeah, I'll go. I don't have any plans after work anyway."
William had been officially arrested due to the criminal charges against him.
Tessa had also sued Yasmin for defamation. After the court had carried out the lawsuit, Yasmin was too ashamed to stay at the law firm and resigned.
Hence, the atmosphere within the firm was much better, and Tessa genuinely liked her colleagues. So, naturally, she decided to join the dinner.
Jasmine quickly replied, "Alright! I'll go since you're going!"
Their dinner was held at a restaurant that served Lospia cuisine. After the meal, someone suggested moving to a bar for some drinks.
Thinking about how so many things had happened recently and how exhausted she was to be on edge every day, she figured she could use a break and relax a little. So, she agreed to head to the bar.
Tessa giggled uncontrollably. "Let me tell you all something, my husband's the best one in the world! Did you guys know that he's liked me for a long time?"
Laughing, Jasmine continued recording her. "Oh, is that true? You two are so sweet together."
"I'll tell you all another secret, but you can't tell anyone! Don't be fooled by how handsome my husband is. He's actually..."
Another colleague, still sober, grinned and asked, "He's actually what?"
Drunk out of her mind, she giggled before blurting out, "I'm not afraid of you guys laughing at me, but I think my husband might have a little problem getting it up."
…
At the bar counter, a strikingly handsome, seductive-looking man nearly spat out his drink when he heard Tessa claiming that her husband had problems "in that area".
After laughing his heart out, he pulled out his phone and sent a message. "I heard you've got some issues getting it up?"

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
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....
