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?"

"What happened?" Tessa asked.

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