His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 61

The day of the banquet arrived.

The Somerton family's private estate was bustling with activity. Luxury cars worth millions steadily arrived, forming a glistening line at the entrance.

The guests included wealthy elites and influential figures from various fields. While some-like Zachary- were there to curry favor, others had been personally invited by Uriah to introduce them to Tessa.

In the legal profession, cultivating connections was essential.

Tessa and Stephen arrived early at the estate.

Uriah stood at the main villa's entrance, his face lighting up as they approached. "Tess, you're finally here."

Dressed in a crisp white suit with his hair styled sleekly, Uriah radiated confidence. The Somerton family's good genes were apparent in his strikingly handsome features.

During his school days, Uriah had been a campus heartthrob, pursued by countless admirers. However, he was notorious for his flirtatious nature, changing girlfriends as often as he changed clothes.
