A few days later, another case involving Jacobson Corporation went to trial.
Stephen had flown to Sableton early that morning to attend an important international business summit. The earliest he would be able to return to Rivertown was the following afternoon, which meant he could not attend the hearing with Tessa.
Tessa, highly capable and thoroughly prepared, walked out of the courthouse feeling confident and refreshed after the session.
She glanced at the time. It was currently 11:30 am. Stephen was probably busy at the moment.
She missed him and wanted to call him to hear his voice, but she held back. She did not want to interrupt him while he was working.
Today, she had taken the Porsche Panamera, the most discreet and modest of the cars in her garage. Though still a luxury vehicle, it didn't draw too much attention.
Wynn was behind the wheel as usual.
Half an hour later, they were nearing the law firm. The stretch of road just outside the building was notoriously congested most times. At the height of the lunchtime rush, traffic had come to a complete standstill.
The white Porsche Panamera was stuck in the long line of cars, inching forward at a snail's pace.
Suddenly, an elderly man appeared out of nowhere and collapsed directly in front of Tessa's car.
With no way to move forward, Tessa had no choice but to step out and check on him.
Just as she reached for the door, she paused and turned to Wynn. "Is the dashcam on?"
"It is."
After a brief moment of thought, Tessa added, "Come with me. Bring your phone and start recording."

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....
