Chapter 43
Tessa recalled that her cousin, Uriah, had given her a fully furnished apartinent unit near Rivertown University as a birthday gift during her freshman year,
The apartment was situated directly opposite the miversity, conveniently close to Shelton Law Firm.
She thought about moving into the apartment if she secured the position at Shelton. It would slinplify her commute and allow her to live independently. She would be free from the strain of dealing with Sammel and Mariatine.
At Shelton Law Firm, Tessa was interviewed by a HR representative as well as Sarah.
Tessa had graduated from a prestigious university and had three years of professional experience. She answered all of Sarah’s questions with confidence and clarity.
Sarah was genuinely impressed by Tessa. The firm met Tessa’s salary and benefits expectation–a base salary of 8,500 dollars per month along with commissions on legal tees.
After the interview, Sarah smiled and said, “Ms. Yates, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Tessa retumed the smile politely. “See you tomorrow, Ms. Young.”
The interview had gone much smoother than Tessa had anticipated. She had expected they would negotiate over her requested salary. To her surprise, everything unfolded seamlessly.
After Tessa left, Sarah stood by the window and sighed. “What a shame, I really do admire Ms. Yates”
On her first day at Shelton, the HR representative, Claire Lawson, introduced Tessa to her colleagues and familiarized her with the firm.
Shelton Law Firm was expansive. Tessa had joined the headquarters which housed several departments.
The business department focused on external partnerships and case negotiations,
The litigation department specialized in lawsuits.
Tessa nodded in understanding, “That’s fine. I can manage things on my own.”
“That’s great,” Sarah replied with a smile before leaving
The male lawyer looked up from his computer and greeted, “Hello, I’m Tom Zimmer. It looks like we’ll be colleagues from now on.”
“Hello. Nice to meet you,” Tessa responded politely.
During lunch, one of the male staff members received an instruction from Sarah. He stirred up a commotion in the group chat by suggesting that the newcomers treat everyone to dinner after work
There were two newcomers. One was Tessa, who had just started today. The other was Jasmine York, an intern who had joined two days earlier. Tessa wasn’t familiar with the firm’s workplace tradition. She wondered if it was customary for newcomers to treat their colleagues to dinner.
Curious, she asked Tom about it. He told her that this practice never existed before. Tessa stared at the message on her computer screen and mulled over the situation.

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....
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....
