Chapter 46
The next day at work, Sarah assigned two cases to Tessa.
She personally handed over the case files. “The first case is an appeal. The client’s previous lawyer left the firm, so it’s now yours. The deadline is coming up fast. You should draft the appeal statement, organize the materials, and submit everything to court today,” Sarah said briskly.
or
“The other involves a workplace injury. You’ll need to take the client for a workplace injury assessment and a work capacity evaluation. Try to arrange it for today o tomorrow. Tomorrow’s already Friday so try not to push it to next week,” she continued.
Tessa nodded quickly as she accepted the files. “Got it. No problem.”
She had already been assigned cases on her second day. Shelton really lived up to its reputation as the top law firm in Rivertown.
Being busy didn’t faze Tessa. More cases meant more experience and commissions.
Once she reviewed the evidence and spoke briefly with the clients, she realized both cases were fairly complex.
she had scheduled the workplace injury assessment for the next day. Her priority today was to prepare and submit the appeal case.
It was already night by the time she wrapped up her tasks.
Her colleagues had left long ago. Tessa was the only one left in the large office.
She had been so absorbed in her work that she hadn’t even had dinner. She soon tidied up her desk and left the office,
Her apartment was just a 10–minute walk from the law firm, so she had started to walk to and from work
On her walk home, Stephen called.
“Tess, are you home yet?” he asked.
“I just finished work and am walking home now,” she replied.
Tessa blushed at his words. She cleared her throat to mask her embarrassment and changed the topic. “Don’t talk while driving, you’ll get distracted.” Stephenchucded. “The chauffeur’s driving, not me.”
For a moment, Tessa was at a loss for words.
As she walked to the apartinent entrance, she continued to chat with Stephen she had a sweet smile on her face and spoke in a cheertul tone.
She was so engrossed in their conversation that she didn’t notice the man standing under a tree near the entrance.
“Tessa,”
A cold, sharju vojce cut through the darkness.
Tessa came to an abrupt stop, and her head turned toward the volor.
Zachary stood beneath the tree, watching her in silence. His gaze was intense and unsettling.

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....
