His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 412

"One time, I overheard a classmate talking badly about Jane behind her back, so I got into a huge fight with them. I really did all that because I cared for her, and not because I wanted to make myself look better..."

Marrissa sobbed before burying her face in her hands, her shoulders trembling as she cried.

Tessa did not know how to comfort Marissa, so she just patted Marissa's back gently.

"Perhaps I was in the wrong. Jane has always been sensitive and insecure. I should have taken her pride and insecurities into consideration..." Marissa said as she choked on her sobs.

Tessa sighed and said, "You should be more careful with the friends you make in the future."

By the time they arrived at Marissa's home, her eyes were red and swollen from all her crying.

When the car stopped, she wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you, Tessa. I owe you my life. If you ever need any help, don't hesitate to say the word."

"Alright. I won't hold back when the time comes, then," Tessa replied.

Tessa had just left Marissa's home and returned to her office when her receptionist informed her that Stephen was here.

The second she pushed open her office door, Stephen immediately shot to his feet and walked up to her. His expression was filled with worry as he examined her from head to toe.
