With all the preparations complete, Tessa's Everbright Law Group officially opened for business.
That day, she received a long-awaited phone call.
"Tessa, do you still remember me? It's Molly."
Tessa was pleasantly surprised. It had been a long time since she had last spoken to Molly Fisher.
"Of course, I remember. I still have your number saved."
Molly had been an intern lawyer at the firm where Tessa worked in Haverford. She was also Tessa's assistant back then. Before leaving, Tessa had told her that if she ever needed a place to go, she was welcome to join her.
Molly said, "Tessa, I've finished my internship, and I passed the bar association interview. I wanted to ask if your offer still stands."
"Congratulations! Of course, you can come. My law firm just opened, so you're welcome anytime," Tessa said with a genuine smile.
"Really? Then, I'll come right away! As long as you don't mind having me, of course." Molly sounded overjoyed.
Tessa laughed. "Why would I mind? I practically trained you myself. I'm in Rivertown now. I'll send you the address."
Molly was thrilled. "Okay! I'll book my ticket right now!"
…
When Uriah, Tessa's cousin, found out that she had opened her own law firm, he immediately helped her recruit two highly skilled and well-known lawyers.
In a private dining room at a restaurant, Uriah introduced the two lawyers to her.
"This is Yelena Colbert, an attorney and my former high school classmate," he said.
Yelena had the look of a seasoned professional, with neatly styled short hair and a beige business suit, exuding confidence.
When Tessa's eyes met hers, she paused briefly before greeting her, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Colbert."
Yelena smiled. "Likewise, Ms. Yates. From now on, we're colleagues."
Uriah continued, "And this is Terrence Winslow, whom I personally poached from another firm. He's a leading expert in commercial law."
Terrence appeared to be in his 40s, wearing a tailored suit and a pair of glasses. He had a slender build and carried an air of composure.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
More frequent updates please...
When will there be more chapters...
