His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 42

Zachary's assistant was highly efficient. Tessa's home address was sent over to him the very next day. The address seemed to be in an ordinary neighborhood.

Zachary narrowed his eyes. Rivertown, huh?

Coincidentally, he had already planned to go there in a few days. He had to discuss a partnership and investment deal with Somerton Group. Since Tessa wouldn't come to him, he would go to her.

Tessa had finally submitted her resume to Shelton Law Firm. The firm responded quickly and scheduled for an interview the following day,

After the time was set, Tessa began to prepare for the interview.

Shelton Law Firm was the most prestigious firm in Rivertown. They were renowned across the industry. Gaining experience at Shelton Law Firm would greatly enhance her career trajectory.

Meanwhile, a conversation took place at Shelton Law Firm.

"Ms. Sanders, Ms. Yates has continned her interview with me," the manager of the litigation department, Sarah Young, said respectfully over the phone. "Good. Offer her whatever she wants and make sure she joins. Once she's hired, assign her the toughest cases and overload her with work. Handle this well, a multi-million-dollar cases from Jacobson Corporation under me will be transferred to your team," the voice on the other end instructed.

Delighted by the prospect, Sarah promptly agreed. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of this newbie."

In the hospital room, Jacqueline ended the call with a sinister smile on her lips.

She had overheard Tessa telling Stephen that she wanted to find a job. She remembered that Stephen had recommended Shelton Law Firm to her.

From what she gathered, Tessa had insisted on applying through proper means. She refused to use any corrections.

Tessa had even asked Stephen to keep her identity as the Yates family's heiress and future Mrs. Jacobson under wraps.

Jacqueline sneered as she reveled in the thought that Tessa's self-righteousness would be the reason for her downfall.

That very night, Jacqueline reached out to Sarah

and the

In Rivertown, Jacobson Corporation commanded immense respect across all industries. As such, Jacqueline's position as "Ms. Jacobson" had always been useful. Though she was adopted, the family had raised her as one of their own. Stephen treated her as though she was his real sister.

Over the years, Jacqueline often attended business events using that last name. She was well recognized as "Ms. Jacobson" within elite social circles.

Jacqueline had done her research on Tessa.

While Tessa was the heiress to the Yates family, she disliked socializing. She rarely attended elite social events and avoided flaunting her wealth on social media, Despite the prominence of Yates Corporation, Tessa's low profile kept her unknown to those outside their circle.

Moreover, Tessa's engagement to Stephen hadn't been announced publicly yet. Only close family and friends were aware.

This gave Jacqueline the perfect opportunity to make her move in the shadows.

Jacqueline's eyes glinted with malice. Tessa lud brought this on herself.

Jacqueline wanted Stephen to be hers and hers alone.

The next moming. Tessa woke up early to prepare for her interview.

She applied light makeup and dressed in a white shirt beneath a black suit. She had the classic look of a practicing lawyer.

Shelton Law Firm was near Rivertown University but far from the Yates residence. With the moming traffic, the drive would take over an hour.
