After being discharged from the hospital, Tessa spent the next few days sorting through several cases from Jacobson Corporation.


    All of the Jacobson Corporation cases were major cases with lots of money and evidence involved. Although all the evidence had been sorted through, Tessa still went through everything again.


    Tessa was a career-oriented woman. She had been extremely busy after being discharged from the hospital and had spent almost every day working overtime.


    That night, Tessa received a call.


    "Ms. Yates, Matthew is refusing to sign the divorce papers, and he''s even torn the agreement up. This afternoon, he had another big fight with Yanis. So, Yanis has officially hired Felicia to represent her in thewsuit."


    Tessa''s office was located on the 22nd floor, and as she stood by the window, she could overlook the bustling city. The night lights flickered, and her reflection could be seen on the window.


    "Alright, I got it." Tessa ended the call and printed a copy of thepany''s letter of engagement and power of attorney. She then took her car keys and locked the


    office up.


    As she entered the elevator, Wynn followed behind her.


    Then, Tessa took out her phone and made a call.


    Soon, Matthew''s voice rang out. "Hello?"


    "Hello, Mr. Gomez. This is Tessa Yates speaking."


    "Why are you calling me? Haven''t you done enough damage to Zachary?" Matthew''s tone was filled with vexation.


    Matthew''s impression of Tessa had turned for the worse when Zachary had attempted suicide because of her.


    Not to mention, Yanis had kept going on about how Tessa was behind Gomez Corporation''s bankruptcy recently. Hence, Matthew''s dislike toward Tessa had turned into outright hate.


    Matthew was fired up as he used, "Aren''t you the one who''s behind Gomez Corporation''s downfall? What? Are you calling to rub salt in our wounds?"


    Tessa chuckled and said calmly, "Mr. Gomez, you''ve misunderstood me. I''m here to help you. I heard that Mrs. Gomez has been badgering you for a divorce. I can represent you during thewsuit."


    Scoffing, Matthew asked, "How could you possibly be so kind? You''ve already caused my family''s downfall, so why should I trust you?"


    "Mr. Gomez, I think there''s something I need to rify with you."


    Tessa''s voice remained calm and steady as she continued, "Gomez Corporation did not copse because of me. It''s because of Zachary''s poor decision-making on a big project he had invested in.


    "The mistake he made caused the entire project to suffer massive losses. Not only did it break thepany''s cash flow, but the project could not continue as well.


    "And not only did it fail to generate revenue, but it had resulted in thepany having to pay an absurd amount of money to their partners aspensation for the breach of contract.


    "Originally, those debts should have been thepany''s responsibility, and once thepany filed for bankruptcy, Zachary would not be held ountable for those debts.


    "However, the biggest mistake


    Zachary had made was abusing his


    status as thepany''s


    shareholder to harm the creditors


    interest. He did not keep both


    business and personal assets as


    separate entities and mixed them up


    together.


    "ording to corporatew, the court is now applying the principle of piercing the corporate veil to Zachary. That''s why he''s also being held ountable for thepany''s debts.


    "Mr. Gomez, you''ve run apany before. I''m sure you''re not that ignorant of corporatew, so you understand exactly what I''m saying, don''t you?"


    Matthew fell silent after hearing Tessa''s words.


    Soon, the elevator arrived at the basement.


    Tessa got out and made her way to her car. Once she reached the white Rolls- Royce, she tossed her keys to Wynn.


    "Mr. Gomez, I hoped that you''d be able to put your feelings aside for the time being. My professionalism is beyond doubt, and I have three years of experience in court.


    "I''ve won countless cases, and I''ve hardly ever lost. Letting me represent you during the divorcewsuit will not be a mistake."


    Matthew''s tone had softened slightly as he asked, "Why do you want to represent me for the divorcewsuit?"


    Wynn opened the door to the backseat for Tessa.


    Tessa got in, and there was a smile in her voice when she exined, "It''s because


    I don''t want Yanis to get a divorce. Seeing her miserable is what I want."


    Matthew fell silent.


    Back then, Yanis had managed to


    enjoy a luxurious lifestyle because of him. He would buy her high-end jewelry and limited edition luxury bags. Matthew basically got her everything she wanted.


    Now that thepany had gone bankrupt, she nned to abandon their family and find someone else who could provide her with the lifestyle she wanted.


    However, how could life be so easy?


    Matthew could not ept the fact that she was willing to reap all the benefits of being with him back then but isn''t willing to get through the hardships with him


    now.


    Hence, he refused to divorce her!


    Matthew believed Tessa after hearing her reason. That was because he knew Yanis had always looked down on Tessa in the past and would always try to humiliate her.
