Chapter 72

The next day, as Tessa walked into the law firm, she immediately sensed that something was off. Whispers seemed to follow wherever she went.

She walked over to her desk and sat down. Tom, who shared an office with her, had yet to be discharged from the hospital, so she was the only one in the space.

Shortly after settling down, Sarah made an appearance. She stood at the door and knocked on it twice before saying to Tessa, "Come to my office."

Tessa knew exactly where this was going. Sarah was most probably going to ask her about yesterday evening.

In the office, Sarah sat in her work chair. Her eyes were sharp, and her expression was dark. "I sent you and William to negotiate a case yesterday evening. But I heard you ended up quarreling with the clients and beat them up instead."

Tessa explained, "I did go to negotiate the case, but those two clients had nothing but impure intentions in their heads. They tried to harass me so I simply defended myself!"

Sarah's expression darkened and she said sternly, "Tessa, I know you've got skills. You saved us the last time when we were in trouble. However, you must know that violence can't solve anything."

Tessa frowned. "I was polite to them at first, but they didn't seem to take the hint. Ms. Young, I'm a lawyer, not a pushover. We're probably better off without clients like these anyway."
