His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 7

Tessa sat down on the single-seater couch next to Yanis. She kept her composure as she looked at Yanis steadily

and said, "I've never intended to marry into the Gomez family."

Yanis naturally didn't believe Tessa. She gave Tessa a measured look from head to toe.

So this was the young lady Zachary had been dating for three years.

Tessa's looks were undeniably attractive, and her demeanor was rather refined. Although she cfrom

an ordinary family, she didn't carry the reserved and insecure attitude typical of people from humble

backgrounds.

Yanis had purposely said those words at the door earlier to embarrass Tessa, but she hadn't expected Tessa to

stay so composed. Tessa wasn't submissive or arrogant when she saw Yanis and even spoke confidently.

However, what did that matter?

Tessa was just a gold-digger daydreaming of marrying into wealth. No matter how well she acted, she was still

beneath their status.

Yanis spoke with an air of blatant superiority. "There's no need to put on an act in front of me. I'm a woman too,

and | know exactly what you are thinking.

"I'm well aware that Zachary is popular with the ladies, and it's not easy for you to meet a wealthy heir like him.

He must have given you a lot of money to spend, right?"

Tessa replied, "I don't care about his money."

Yanis smiled disdainfully at Tessa's response, her eyes gleaming coldly. "Why are you still pretending? I've seen

plenty of girls like you acting holier-than-thou while still taking advantage of things. You say you don't care, but if

you didn't, why did you go after Zachary in the first place?"

At that, Tessa laughed. "Mrs. Gomez, are you saying that your son has nothing going for him other than his

money?"

"Why you!" Yanis was truly furious as her breathing becslightly more rapid. She glared at Tessa and hissed,

"You've got a sharp tongue! To think Zachary praised you for being gentle and understanding. | think he has

completely misjudged you!"

Tessa unhurriedly picked up her cup and sipped her drink to soothe her throat.

"You have no manners," Yanis said as she shot her a glance. "You didn't even think of offeringa drink while

I'm here."

Tessa faked a smile and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gomez. There aren't any extra cups here, and I'm sure you'll

definitely dislike using a cup I've used before. So | decided not to bother after giving it sthought.

"After all, it's not like you're thirsty, right?"

Yanis was so angry that she couldn't even utter a word.

Where on earth did Zachary find such an ill-mannered girl?

Yanis took a slow breath, then continued speaking, "I'm here today to tell you that not just anyone can marry into

the Gomez family. If you're hoping to marry Zachary, it's never going to happen!"

Tessa hummed indifferently.

Yanis rambled on, "Wendy is the daughter-in-law of my choice. Not only is her family close to ours for

generations, but she is also Zachary's first love. I'm advising you to give up on this. Pack your things and leave

soon so Wendy can take her rightful place by his side!"

Tessa's lips curved into a faint smile as she recalled overhearing Zachary on the phone once. He had mentioned

how the Gomez Group had strouble with their cash flow. This caused many projects to cto a halt and

resulted in significant losses.

At the time, she had even considered injecting capital into the Gomez Group.

Even though Zachary assumed she cfrom a poor family and never intended to marry her, they had still been

together for three years. There were bound to be sfeelings between them, and helping him out wasn't

entirely impossible.

When she went to pick Zachary up from the party the other night, she had intended to discuss bringing

investments into the Gomez Group.

Samuel would definitely not invest since she had fallen out with her family.

Her cousin, Uriah Somerton, was now the head of the Somerton family. Somerton Group was thriving and had

becone of the top ten companies in the country last year under his leadership. Uriah had always doted on

her. Tessa was sure if she asked, she would have been able to secure investments for the Gomez Group without

issue.

But that very night, she overheard Zachary saying she was nothing more than a stand-in for Wendy. Recalling

this, Tessa pulled her thoughts back to the present. She said to Yanis, "Don't worry. I'm heading hin a couple

of days and won't be coming back again."

Yanis hadn't expected it to be this easy to get Tessa to back off and was momentarily stunned, thinking, "Tessa is

this easy to get rid of? She's not even asking for a single penny?"

Something felt off to Yanis, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Tessa glanced down at her watch, mentioning, "That's all for now. | have smatters to handle in a bit, so I'll

take my leave."

She stood up, went to her room to grab her bag, and hurried out the door-all without waiting for Yanis to respond.

Yanis was stunned. Tessa left just like that?

"She is too rude!" Yanis fumed once she recovered and muttered to herself angrily. "The guest hasn't even said

anything about leaving, and she's gone! Does she even have any respect for me?" Yanis had specifically chosen

her most extravagant and expensive jewelry today to show this unsophisticated, poor girl the vast gap between

her and Zachary.

Before she cover, she had planned to intimidate Tessa and make her serve her properly. She had even

imagined Tessa crying over the phone to Zachary to complain about her. She never expected things to turn out

like this.

Tessa had already left, and Yanis didn't want to stay for any longer either. Yanis stormed out of the villa, already

thinking about how to express her dissatisfaction with Tessa to Zachary.

She was utterly and thoroughly unhappy with this ill-mannered girl!

The chauffeur had been waiting at the door. Yanis had just gotten into the car when she received a call from

Wendy.

She took a deep breath to calm her restless emotions. Then, she answered the call fondly, "Wendy, lettell

you, this girlfriend of Zachary's has no manners. | have just experienced it firsthand, and she was truly what they

say about how poverty breeds terrible people!"

Wendy felt a rush of joy in her heart. This was great! With Tessa having offended Yanis, even if Zachary didn't

want to break up with Tessa, their relationship wouldn't last much longer.

Wendy said gently, "Mrs. Gomez, please calm down. Don't lower yourself to the level of that country bumpkin.

In her eyes, poor people were the sas farm girls. Even if Tessa wasn't from the countryside, there was still

no difference to her.

Yanis said, "You're still the lovable one. That unruly girl said she would be returning to her hometown in a few

days and wouldn't be returning. At least she's being smart."

"Did she really say that?" Wendy asked. "Is she planning to end things with Zachary?"

Yanis replied, "That's for sure. Even if she doesn't break up with him, I'll make sure they do. With the way she

treatedtoday, there's no way she's staying with Zachary!"

"That's great, then," Wendy commented. "Are you heading back to the manor now, Mrs. Gomez? I'll cover

and keep you company."

After leaving Evergreen Villa, Tessa headed straight to the law firm to resign.

She had worked there for the past three years. Tessa started as an intern and later beca practicing lawyer.

This small firm had witnessed her growth.

Her assistant, Molly Fisher, had just graduated from university this year. Molly was in her early twenties and

three years younger than Tessa.

As soon as Molly heard Tessa was leaving, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Tessa, why are you suddenly

resigning out of the blue?"

"I have sfamily matters." Tessa had initially thought resigning wasn't a big deal, but seeing Molly on the

verge of tears made her feel a little sad.

Molly and Tessa were not just ordinary colleagues, after all.
