The sweltering summer heat seemed to drag on in Rivertown. Eventually, more than half a month had come and gone.
One of the cases that Jacobson Corporation had entrusted to Tessa was scheduled to go on trial in late June.
Stephen and Lester had both attended the hearing.
Tessa sat at the plaintiff's attorney's table within the solemn courtroom. She was dressed in a well-tailored dark gray suit and had an austere expression on her face. Her bright eyes seemed to possess the skill to see through one's very soul.
When she met her opponent's gaze, her eyes turned sharp and unwavering in their determination.
Once it was her turn to say her piece, her voice was clear and commanding, bolstering her carefully structured and logically sound argument to greater heights.
Tessa was like a master chess player as she gradually ensnared her opponent in the trap she had laid for them.
She had displayed her extraordinary adaptability to its fullest throughout the hearing.
She remained calm and composed in the face of the opposing lawyer's rebuttals and sharp questions. In fact, she was able to spot flaws they had and counter their arguments with evidence, leaving them scrambling.
The pace she used during her turn to speak varied, allowing it to crest and fall at just the right moments. As a result, she had full control over the courtroom, drawing the jury's attention into her argument.
In the end, it was to no one's surprise that Tessa had achieved a resounding victory in the verbal battlefield.
After the hearing ended, Tessa, Stephen, and Lester left the courtroom side by side.
"Mr. Jacobson, you'll receive the written judgment in a few days," Tessa said.
"I believe the outcome will be in our favor," Stephen replied in his usual cool tone. Then, he tilted his head at Tessa, regarding her with clear admiration in his gaze. "You did well earlier, Tess."
Tessa blinked at him and beamed. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jacobson."
"Tessa, you were amazing out there. I got to witness a top-notch lawyer in action because of you," Lester praised with a smile.
"Thanks," she said politely.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
