His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 62

Carla's face alternated between red and pale with anger.

Tessa gently held Carla's hand, silently comforting the latter. She tilted her head slightly, a faint, mocking smile on her lips as she looked at Yanis.

"What's shameful about being a housekeeper? It's honest work. Earning money with your own hands, not stealing or cheating, is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"On the contrary, I think it's far more shameful for someone like you. Talentless, living off your husband's money, spending your days playing poker, indulging in beauty treatments, and hoarding health supplements. That's what I call shameful."

"You!" Yanis pointed a trembling finger at Tessa, her face betraying her rage.

Wendy hurried to pat Yanis' back, soothing her. "Mrs. Gomez, don't take her nonsense to heart. Don't let her upset you."

Then, she turned, her expression dripping with disdain, and addressed Tessa. "Tessa, a housekeeper's daughter is still just that. This banquet was organized by Mr. Somerton for his cousin, and the guests here are all high-society elites. You, a penniless nobody, shouldn't be embarrassing yourself here."

Tessa's radiant smile only widened. "Oh? High-society elites? Then how did small-timers like your family manage to get in?"

Wendy's composure completely shattered. Her anger boiled over.

"You're calling my family small-timers? You, a housekeeper's daughter, dare to look down on me?"

"Aw, still trying to ingratiate yourself with the Somerton family? With your family's status, you don't even qualify to be their watchdog." Tessa arched an eyebrow, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Wendy jabbed a furious finger at Tessa's face, her voice shaking with rage. "Are you crazy? You're taking out your failure with Zachary on me? Hah, you couldn't keep a man, so now all you do is play word games with me."

Tessa chuckled lightly. "Zachary got into a fight and ended up in the hospital for me. Didn't you know?"

Wendy froze, utterly stunned. So, Zachary's injuries a few days ago were indeed because of Tessa.
