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."
