"Here's the printed contract. Please look through it and sign if you're satisfied with it." Tessa handed a thick stack of A4 papers over to Stephen.
"Alright," he said. When he took the contract, he promptly whisked out his phone and dialed a number. Once the call connected, he said, "Come to the office now."
"Yes, Mr. Jacobson," responded the person on the other end of the line.
Five minutes later, a glasses-wearing middle-aged man showed up at Everbright Law Group.
Stephen introduced him to Tessa, saying, "He's my legal representative, Justin Montague."
Tessa nodded and greeted Justin courteously, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Montague."
"Likewise, Ms. Yates," Justin replied as he sat down. Then, he took out Jacobson Corporation's company seal and a pen from his briefcase before swiftly signing the contract with practiced ease.
Two copies of the contract had to be signed at the law firm, and each party would then be given a copy. As Stephen was entrusting multiple cases to Everbright Law Group, Justin was about to have a sore arm from signing all the contracts.
Tessa couldn't help but wince at the thought.
Still, she had to admit that she didn't think Stephen would actually bring someone along just to sign all those contracts.
Meanwhile, Justin didn't even bother reading through the contracts as he signed them. His pen might as well have grown wings at the speed he was going through those papers.
Tessa couldn't help but interject. "Excuse me, Mr. Montague. Aren't you going to look them over before signing?"
"Mr. Jacobson has read them, hasn't he? So, I'm positive that there won't be an issue." Justin didn't even bother lifting his head when he replied. Frankly, she wouldn't be surprised if he was some robot Jacobson Corporation created with the sole purpose of signing contracts.
Tessa fell silent before eventually saying, "Mr. Jacobson didn't read them, though."
Justin's hand froze mid-air. Then, he looked up at Stephen, his expression as stiff as a board. "Mr. Jacobson, is this true?"
"It's fine," Stephen replied with an amicable smile. "There's no need to be so worried. This law firm is one of ours."
In the meantime, Stephen looked as if he was in a fantastic mood. The corners of his eyebrows lifted ever so slightly as he responded, "You're very welcome."
Tessa fell silent in the face of his brazen behavior, thinking disparagingly, "Look at you being so generous with things that you didn't even spend a penny on."
Still, her sarcastic thoughts didn't stop her from signing and stamping the contracts. Once she was done, she packed them neatly into a folder before handing them to Justin. Justin instinctively reached out to take the folder, but Stephen got to it before he could get even a finger on it.
Stephen grinned. "Pleasure working with you, Ms. Yates."
Tessa remained utterly expressionless as she replied mechanically, "Pleasure working with you."
Once Justin and Stephen left Everbright Law Group, the former approached Stephen and said, "Mr. Jacobson, let me carry the contracts instead."
Stephen's eyes glinted with mirth, clearly in a happy mood. "My wife signed these papers. Why should I hand them over to you?"
Justin blinked at Stephen in confusion as he thought, "Well, I definitely didn't see this one coming."

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....
