Chapter 121


Tessa turned off the computer after she finished organizing the case documents. When she exited the firm, it was already 8:30 pm. She stood in front of the building for a moment before receiving a call from Stephen.

Tessa picked up the call. "Where are you now?"

"I'm sorry, Tess. I can't pick you up tonight. You should head home by yourself first. Something urgent came up that I have to take care of."

"What happened?" Tessa asked.

"I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you everything in person once I've handled the issue."

"Okay."

After disconnecting the call, she headed down to the basement carpark. Despite the late hour, she hadn't had her dinner yet. Her stomach was growling loudly in protest.

Tessa drove her car to a nearby restaurant and had a simple meal to satisfy her hunger. When she made it back to her area, it was already 10:00 pm.
