An hour later, Tessa arrived at Sarah's office.
She placed the contract on Sarah's desk and said, "Ms. Young, I have completed the task you assigned. The five-year legal advisory contract has been signed, and the 15 thousand dollar fee has been transferred to the firm's account.
"Additionally, I've secured three payment dispute cases and one patent infringement case. All four cases are under general agency agreements, with the attorney fees paid upfront. Including the 15 thousand dollar legal advisory fee, the total comes up to 80 thousand dollars.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the finance department for the transaction records. I also have the payment receipts right here."
With that, Tessa clicked her phone's photo album open and showed Sarah the payment receipt screenshots. "I've also covered the law firm's losses."
Sarah flipped through the contracts in disbelief. Upon seeing the signature and stamps on it, her eyes flashed with shock. "Yates Corporation… Samuel Yates is your…"
Tessa smiled. "He's my dad."
The contract slipped from Sarah's hand and landed on the floor with a thud. Sarah whipped her head up in shock. "You're the heir of Yates Corporation?"
After facing a series of troublesome events, Tessa was no longer interested in keeping a low profile. She said proudly, "That's right."
Before Sarah could even process her thoughts, she received another call.
"Ms. Young, what background does Ms. Yates have? How does she know the president of Jacobson Corporation? Our president, Mr. Loewe, was admitted to the hospital last night after getting beaten up by Mr. Jacobson's bodyguards.
"Then, early this morning, auditors and tax authorities showed up at our company for an inspection. I've been asking around and found out that all of this was on Mr. Jacobson's orders."
Jacobson Corporation? Sarah's face turned ashen, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She hung up the phone, feeling her heart pounding in her chest.
"You… You know the president of Jacobson Corporation?"
Tessa crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Sarah coldly. "Yes. He's my fiancé, the rumored sugar daddy who drives a Cullinan."
Sarah stuttered, "I-I'm sorry. I didn't know you were Mr. Jacobson's fiancée…"
At that moment, Sarah finally realized that she had been fooled by Jacqueline.
"It's not that big of a deal. Just find an excuse to resign, and I'll recommend you to another law firm. If the Jacobson family really does come looking for you, just insist you had no idea of those two's true character.
"If anything happens, I'll cover for you. But if you dare leak even a word of this, I won't let you off the hook."
Sarah replied, "Don't worry. As long as you help me, I'll keep my mouth shut."
…
The next day, Tessa drove to court for a hearing.
After finishing the session, she was about to leave the courthouse when she bumped into Zachary. She looked at him warily. "What are you doing here?"
Zachary looked at her with an affectionate gaze. "I know you work at Shelton Law Firm and that you had a hearing today, so I waited here to see you."
Tessa narrowed her eyes, anger flickering within them. "Did you look into me?"

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....
