His Unveiled Passion

With all the preparations complete, Tessa's Everbright Law Group officially opened for business.

That day, she received a long-awaited phone call.

"Tessa, do you still remember me? It's Molly."

Tessa was pleasantly surprised. It had been a long time since she had last spoken to Molly Fisher.

"Of course, I remember. I still have your number saved."

Molly had been an intern lawyer at the firm where Tessa worked in Haverford. She was also Tessa's assistant back then. Before leaving, Tessa had told her that if she ever needed a place to go, she was welcome to join her.

Molly said, "Tessa, I've finished my internship, and I passed the bar association interview. I wanted to ask if your offer still stands."

"Congratulations! Of course, you can come. My law firm just opened, so you're welcome anytime," Tessa said with a genuine smile.

"Really? Then, I'll come right away! As long as you don't mind having me, of course." Molly sounded overjoyed.

Tessa laughed. "Why would I mind? I practically trained you myself. I'm in Rivertown now. I'll send you the address."

Molly was thrilled. "Okay! I'll book my ticket right now!"

When Uriah, Tessa's cousin, found out that she had opened her own law firm, he immediately helped her recruit two highly skilled and well-known lawyers.

In a private dining room at a restaurant, Uriah introduced the two lawyers to her.

"This is Yelena Colbert, an attorney and my former high school classmate," he said.

Yelena had the look of a seasoned professional, with neatly styled short hair and a beige business suit, exuding confidence.

When Tessa's eyes met hers, she paused briefly before greeting her, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Colbert."

Yelena smiled. "Likewise, Ms. Yates. From now on, we're colleagues."

Uriah continued, "And this is Terrence Winslow, whom I personally poached from another firm. He's a leading expert in commercial law."

Terrence appeared to be in his 40s, wearing a tailored suit and a pair of glasses. He had a slender build and carried an air of composure.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Winslow. I've heard great things about you. I'm looking forward to working with you."

"Nice to meet you too, Ms. Yates. Let's grow together."

Since the dinner table was filled with fellow legal professionals, conversation flowed easily, making for a lively atmosphere.noveldrama

After dinner, Tessa bid farewell to Uriah and her two new colleagues before getting into her Rolls-Royce.

Stepping on the accelerator lightly, the white Rolls-Royce smoothly left the parking lot and merged into traffic on the broad city streets.

Molly had just landed in Rivertown, and Tessa was on her way to pick her up.

That afternoon, Molly had sent flight details, but when Tessa

offered to pick her up, she ha

declined, saying she could just take a cab to her hotel.

However, knowing that Molly was new to the city and had no family or friends here except her, Tessa insisted on picking her up and helping her settle in.

The airport was located in a remote suburban area, about a 40-minute drive from Rivertown's city center.

Feeling the air in the car becoming a little stuffy, Tessa lowered the window

slightly, letting the night breeze circulate through the cabin of her car.

By late March, temperatures in Rivertown had started to warm up.

The once-biting wind had softened, leaving only a cool and refreshing crispness in the air.

The gentle wind cleared away the stuffiness inside the car. As she drove, thoughts

of recent events filled Tessa's mind, leaving her in a good mood.

Her law firm had successfully

opened, and the new partners and colleagues seemed easy to get along with. Within days of opening, she had already recruited several prominent lawyers. Even Matty, her former assistant, had come to join her. śwnovel

Everything was moving in a positive direction. Her career felt like a rising sun, gaining momentum. She was now one step closer to her dream.

The white Rolls-Royce wove through traffic, gradually leaving behind the bustling

streets of downtown and entering the quieter suburban roads.

It was past ten at night, and the roads in these remote areas were nearly deserted.

After driving for more than ten minutes, she suddenly noticed a black car following behind her.

This road did not lead solely to the airport. There were intersections ahead that connected to other destinations. But even if it did lead only tothe airport, it would not be

unusual for another car to be

traveling in the same direction.

Perhaps the other driver was simply

heading to the airport as well.

But the problem was that when she caught sight of the black car in her rearview

mirror, a strange, fleeting thought flashed through her mind.
