His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 54

Tessa quickly relayed the full details of the knife attack incident.

The assailant, Jason Howard, was the owner and legal representative of a private company. He had been sued by another company over a contract dispute. Tom had represented Jason's opponents in the lawsuit, securing a victory.

Following the court ruling, Jason was held liable for breach of contract and ordered to pay significant compensation. During the enforcement phase, the court froze his company's accounts.

Shortly after, Tom uncovered evidence of commingled personal and corporate assets as well as financial misconduct by Jason. After filing another lawsuit, the court seized Jason's real estate and impounded movable assets of equivalent value.

At the same time, Jason's wife had an affair and eloped with another man, absconding with the family's money.

This chain of events left Jason desperate and without options. He blamed the lawyers at Shelton Law Firm for the downfall of his life and decided to take revenge with the knife attack.

Fortunately, Tom was rescued in time and was no longer in critical condition.

In response to the incident, the law firm specifically converted a room into a security office. Two tall and muscular security guards were stationed there.
