His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 373

Yanis had said many things like that in the past. She had spoken those words with one purpose in mind—to humiliate Tessa. She wanted Tessa to know her place and stop dreaming about things above her station.

Now that the tables were turned, Yanis began to deeply regret her actions.

She hastily tried to defend herself, "I didn't mean to hurt you, Tessa. Please let me explain myself. I thought you were—"

Yanis abruptly cut herself off before she could finish her sentence.

She had assumed that Tessa was just a gold-digger, a pauper who had nothing to her name.

However, she couldn't possibly say those things now.

"What were your assumptions about me?" Tessa stared at her coldly.

Yanis hemmed and hawed but couldn't bring herself to answer Tessa's question.

Tessa chuckled before saying, "You thought I was just some gold-digger who only decided to date Zachary for his money, isn't that right?"

Yanis lowered her head guiltily, unable to meet Tessa's gaze.

Tessa said dispassionately, "Back then, I had considered bringing Zachary to Rivertown to meet my parents. I even considered persuading my father to invest in Gomez Group."

Yanis' head snapped up at that revelation. She looked at Tessa in disbelief as she blurted, "Then, why didn't you?"

Wendy wouldn't even be in the picture if Yanis had known that Tessa was the daughter of Rivertown's wealthiest man.

Zachary would be the son-in-law of the richest man in Rivertown if he had just married Tessa all those years ago. He most certainly wouldn't be drowning in debt now.

If Yanis did not regret her actions in the past, then she was definitely regretting them now.

Tessa smiled when she heard Yanis' question. "That's because Zachary's thoughts mirrored yours. He thought I was unworthy of him."

Yanis could only gape at her, utterly stunned.

"Those who betray their loved ones will never have a happy ending. You should leave. I won't help you." Tessa's voice was stone cold.

Passersby in the hospital instinctively stopped to stare.

"My family has no need for another housekeeper. You should stop wasting your time on me because I'm delighted that your family is falling apart," Tessa intoned coldly.

Then, she regarded Yanis as though she were but a bug underfoot and continued, "I'm afraid I must disappoint you, Mrs. Gomez. I might not go out of my way to hurt another, but I've been known to hold grudges. Your family has wronged me in the past, and I've come to settle that score." 

"What are you saying? Are you saying that Gomez Group is bankrupt because of you?" Yanis had stopped crying. Instead, she was now staring at Tessa in disbelief.

"That's right," Tessa said calmly as a smile appeared on her lips. "Your humiliating me was only one of the many reasons why I've decided to ruin the Gomez family. However, your darling son worked with Jacqueline and James. They nearly murdered my family. I only bankrupted your company as retaliation."

Yanis' face twisted with rage as she screeched, "It was you all along! Tessa, you bitch!"

She instantly did a 180 now that she realized there was no way Tessa would ever help her.

Soon, a crowd began to gather around them just to watch the drama unfold.
