His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 54

Tessa quickly relayed the full details of the knife attack incident.

The assailant, Jason Howard, was the owner and legal representative of a private company. He had been sued by another company over a contract dispute. Tom had represented Jason's opponents in the lawsuit, securing a victory.

Following the court ruling, Jason was held liable for breach of contract and ordered to pay significant compensation. During the enforcement phase, the court froze his company's accounts.

Shortly after, Tom uncovered evidence of commingled personal and corporate assets as well as financial misconduct by Jason. After filing another lawsuit, the court seized Jason's real estate and impounded movable assets of equivalent value.

At the same time, Jason's wife had an affair and eloped with another man, absconding with the family's money.

This chain of events left Jason desperate and without options. He blamed the lawyers at Shelton Law Firm for the downfall of his life and decided to take revenge with the knife attack.

Fortunately, Tom was rescued in time and was no longer in critical condition.

In response to the incident, the law firm specifically converted a room into a security office. Two tall and muscular security guards were stationed there.

Tessa recognized them as the bodyguards Stephen had arranged for her.

…

Meanwhile, Zachary spent two weeks recovering in the hospital.

During this time, he repeatedly borrowed his assistant's phone to call Tessa, but she never answered. She didn't visit him either.

Zachary found himself constantly staring at the hospital room door. Each time it opened, he held his breath, hoping it would be Tessa. But every time, he was left disappointed.

He tormented himself daily by replaying scenes of Tessa with Stephen, his heart twisting in agony with every thought.

After enduring two weeks of physical and emotional misery in the hospital, Zachary was finally discharged. Since Tessa refused to see him, he decided to go to her instead. He couldn't wait any longer.

On the day of his discharge, Zachary walked ahead, his assistant and Wendy following closely.

"Has everything been arranged with Somerton Group?" he asked the assistant while heading toward the parking lot.
