Chapter 102


Zachary turned back to look at Tessa.

Taking a spoonful of sea urchin, she commented with a smile, "I had another win

in court today. That case was so complicated that filing all the evidence alone took up to five hundred pages."

With a gentle expression, Stephen listened patiently as he peeled the shrimp for her. "What kind of case was it?"

"It was a defamation case and my client was the plaintiff."

She took a sip of her drink and continued, "Stephen, you have no idea how difficult it was to gather the evidence for this case. The materials our client had provided to us initially weren't complete, so I spent over a month helping him collect everything."

"Over a month? Wasn't that some time before our engagement?" Stephen placed the peeled shrimp into her bowl and added, "That must've been exhausting."

Dipping the peeled shrimp into the sauce, Tessa replied, "Yeah, it was right before the engagement. It was a bit tiring, but after winning the case, I felt like it was worth the effort."

As she spoke, she pulled out her phone excitedly, adding, "Oh, by the way, my client even gave me an art piece as a thank-you gift. Look!"

She eagerly opened her photo album and flipped through pictures of the art piece. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "This is the first time I've ever received an art piece from a client."
