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."
Tessa persisted. "There's no need. If I ever grow tired of being a lawyer, then we'll talk."
Samuel sighed in resignation. "You're impossible…"
He signed the five-year legal advisory contract and then immediately called the finance department to transfer 15 thousand dollars to the law firm's account.
Tessa asked with a smile, "Are there any ongoing disputes in the company lately?"
Samuel dialed an internal line and called his subordinate in.
"You can talk to Zander about it. I don't usually deal with these things."
"Okay."

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....
