His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 244

On Wednesday, Tessa returned to work at Shelton Law Firm.

But unexpectedly, Jacqueline showed up too.

She was dressed in a tailored suit from a luxury brand and carried a limited- edition Hermès handbag. Brimming with confidence, she strode into the law firm in high heels and headed straight for Tessa's office.
