His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 77

Tessa didn't even turn to look at him as she stared at her screen and continued on with her work. "Yes, I'm suing you for defamation. Isn't it normal for me to file a lawsuit against you? Why are you so shocked?"

William's eyes flashed with hostility. "How did I defame you? Defamation implies the act of fabricating falsehoods and spreading them around. Everything I've said has been nothing but the truth." Tessa's expression remained impassive. "You can tell that to the judge."

"Withdraw that lawsuit immediately, or I'll make you pay for it!" William threatened viciously.

Although defamation was categorized under a private prosecution, the plaintiff would have to go to court to file such a complaint.

However, the crimes committed would fall under criminal law. So once the defendant was found guilty, they would be subjected to criminal law punishment terms.

William was a lawyer, so he knew his license as a lawyer would be revoked if he was found guilty.

He would also not be allowed to take the bar exam again or engage in any jobs that were related to the law in any way, shape, or form. His career would essentially come to an end.

"Why are you getting angry? The show's just about to begin," Tessa said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?"

At that moment, Yasmin, who had also received a lawsuit, came rushing in. "Tessa, how dare you file a lawsuit against me? All I did was gossip about you. Is taking this to court really necessary?"

Tessa said calmly, "Here comes another one."

Yasmin had just received an order from the court. The order claimed that Tessa had filed a defamation case and that she was one of the defendants.

At first, she did not believe what she was reading. So, she was stupefied after clicking on the message, reading the indictment and the details of the case.
