His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 245
Tessa knocked on Barry's office door.
"Come in!" Barry called out.
Tessa didn't beat around the bush. "Mr. Leiston, I want to resign."
Barry was stunned. "What's wrong? You just returned after the holidays, and now you're resigning?"
During their business trip to Noria, Tessa won a bet that secured the firm Victorious Corporation's legal representation and advisory contract for the next ten years.
She was practically his golden ticket now, so there was no way he would let her walk away that easily.
Tessa was blunt and honest. "I have a personal issue with the new partner. I'm not working for her."
At the end of the day, lawyers at the firm weren't independent. Their jobs seemed decent enough, but they were nothing more than regular employees.
For every case they handled, the firm took a cut and distributed it among the partners as bonuses.
So no matter how many cases Tessa won, she was just another lawyer making money for the firm.
Back then, none of this would've mattered to her. After all, she was only here to train herself and gain experience.
But Jacqueline had now become both a partner at the firm and her boss. That meant every case she handled from now on would be putting money in Jacqueline's pocket.
Tessa knew Jacqueline would make her life hell. So, there was no way she was sticking around for that.
When Barry learned about their bad blood, he felt caught in the middle.
Jacqueline had invested 80 million dollars in Shelton Law Firm. The sheer wealth of his new partner was enough to send him over the moon.
On top of that, she was the adopted daughter of the Jacobson family. If the firm could use her to build ties with them, they could cement their status as the top law firm in Rivertown.
They might even be able to set their sights on becoming the best firm in the country!

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....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
