Chapter 53

Tessa stared at Yasmin with piercing eyes, as though trying to burn a hole through her.

"Yasmin, you should be grateful that I was there today. If I hadn't intervened and Jasmine had died at the hands of the criminal, there would have been blood on your hands."

Yasmin bit her bottom lip in silence, her face drained of all color.

At that moment, Jasmine spoke with concern, "Ms. Yates, your wound is still bleeding. You should go to the hospital to get it treated."

Tessa had indeed been injured. Although it wasn't life-threatening, she had lost a significant amount of blood. Her entire left sleeve was now stained red.

She ignored Yasmin entirely, turned around, and left the law firm to go to the hospital.

After having her wound treated, Tessa went to pay for her medication. As she turned a corner, she ran into Wendy.

Wendy's face tightened with displeasure as she asked coldly, "Tessa? What are you doing here?"

It surprised her to see Wendy in Rivertown with Zachary. Then again, it made sense. Zachary always took Wendy with him wherever he went. Coming to Rivertown, he was unlikely to leave her behind in Haverford.
