His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 7

Tessa sat down on the single-seater couch next to Yanis. She kept her composure as she looked at Yanis steadily and said, "I've never intended to marry into the Gomez family."

Yanis naturally didn't believe Tessa. She gave Tessa a measured look from head to toe.

So this was the young lady Zachary had been dating for three years.

Tessa's looks were undeniably attractive, and her demeanor was rather refined. Although she came from

an ordinary family, she didn't carry the reserved and insecure attitude typical of people from humble backgrounds.

Yanis had purposely said those words at the door earlier to embarrass Tessa, but she hadn't expected Tessa to stay so composed. Tessa wasn't submissive or arrogant when she saw Yanis and even spoke confidently.

However, what did that matter?

Tessa was just a gold-digger daydreaming of marrying into wealth. No matter how well she acted, she was still beneath their status.

Yanis spoke with an air of blatant superiority. "There's no need to put on an act in front of me. I'm a woman too, and I know exactly what you are thinking.

"I'm well aware that Zachary is popular with the ladies, and it's not easy for you to meet a wealthy heir like him. He must have given you a lot of money to spend, right?"

Tessa replied, "I don't care about his money."

Yanis smiled disdainfully at Tessa's response, her eyes gleaming coldly. "Why are you still pretending? I've seen plenty of girls like you acting holier-than-thou while still taking advantage of things. You say you don't care, but if you didn't, why did you go after Zachary in the first place?"

At that, Tessa laughed. "Mrs. Gomez, are you saying that your son has nothing going for him other than his money?"

"Why you!" Yanis was truly furious as her breathing became slightly more rapid. She glared at Tessa and hissed, "You've got a sharp tongue! To think Zachary praised you for being gentle and understanding. I think he has completely misjudged you!"
