His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 52

Yasmin saw the knife in the criminal's hand coming straight toward her. In a panic, she grabbed a nearby person and shoved them in front of her as a shield.

The unlucky person she grabbed was Jasmine, whose face turned ghostly pale. Trembling like a leaf, tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, revealing her overwhelming fear.

The ruthless criminal thrust the knife toward Jasmine, who shut her eyes tightly, giving up all resistance.

However, the expected pain never came. Instead, the surrounding crowd gasped in shock.

Jasmine cautiously opened her eyes, only to be left speechless by the scene before her.

Tessa, empty-handed, was locked in a fierce struggle with the criminal.

The man, brandishing a knife and clearly unhinged, attacked wildly, slashing and stabbing in every direction. Tessa dodged and weaved, avoiding critical blows as she did. But she was still cut on her arm, leaving a bloody wound in its wake.

Crimson blood seeped out immediately, staining her white shirt.

The criminal roared in rage, "You're asking for it!" and lunged at her with the knife again.

Gritting her teeth against the pain, Tessa sidestepped the blade and grabbed the criminal's wrist, twisting it forcefully.

The sound of a loud crack was followed by the man's scream of agony. Overwhelmed by pain, the criminal instinctively released the knife, letting it clatter to the ground.

Tessa kicked the knife far away. A male colleague quickly stepped forward to retrieve it. Without the deadly threat of the knife, the criminal stood no chance against Tessa.

She delivered a series of punches, making him howl in pain. Then, with a swift kick, she struck his head hard. The man staggered, disoriented and unsteady.

Before he could recover, Tessa launched a flurry of kicks, finishing with a shoulder throw that slammed him forcefully to the ground.

The surrounding onlookers gasped and murmured in astonishment. No one had expected the quiet, demure-looking Tessa to be so fierce and powerful in a fight.

After completely subduing the criminal, Tessa finally stood down just as the ambulance and police arrived on the scene.

The criminal was taken away, and Tom, who lay in a pool of blood, was also carried off by paramedics. Only then did the shaken colleagues dare to approach Tessa.
