His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 392

The case Marissa brought in was a complicated equity dispute.

The situation was messy, the evidence incomplete, and the litigation risks significant. For someone like Tessa, who had only been practicing law for a little over three years, it was undoubtedly a tough case to take on.

On the surface, Marissa had come to entrust her with a case. In truth, she was here to test her or perhaps even stir up trouble.

If Tessa refused to take the case, Marissa could easily question her qualifications

or professionalism. If she accepted it and ended up losing, that too would be a blow to her reputation, proof that she was not on the same level.

At least at this stage, in terms of career success, Marissa had the upper hand.

After reviewing the basic details of the case, Tessa had a general understanding of the situation.

She glanced through the materials Marissa had forwarded and began forming her strategy.

Her expression was calm, and she asked, "Are you requesting that I handle this case personally?"

"Yes. I trust you, Ms. Yates," Marissa said with a smile.

"Our firm's attorneys are all highly capable and professionally trained. But since you've specifically requested me, I'll take it," Tessa replied evenly.

Marissa was slightly surprised. She had not expected Tessa to agree so readily.
