Chapter 415

    Matthew never thought that Tessa would be so fierce. Up until now, he had believed she was just a soft and gentle woman.


    By the time he snapped back to his senses, Tessa had already left.


    Yanis was enraged and ready to charge after Tessa. However, Matthew quickly stopped her and said, "Alright, stop making a scene now. This is the entrance to the courthouse!"


    She immediately burst into tears and sobbed. "Matthew, you''re just a heartless bastard! Your wife was being bullied, yet you just stood there and did nothing! Fuck off! Don''t touch me!"


    Annoyance filled Matthew''s eyes as he said, "Alright, now. Stop making a fuss. Let''s go back together."


    "What''s wrong? Mom, what happened to your face?" Zachary, who had juste out of the restroom, walked toward them in confusion.


    "That bitch, Tessa, pped me!"


    Matthew''s expression darkened as he said, "Zachary, take your mom away. She''s embarrassing us all by making a scene here."


    "Dad, what happened?" Zachary asked with a frown.


    Matthew exined, "Your mom rushed at Ms. Yates just now, wanting to hit her. However, she didn''t manage to hit her and got pped instead.


    "She''s the one who started it, so you can''t me Ms. Yates for pping her. Alright. Let''s just go home."


    Zachary reproached her for her actions and said, "Mom, I know you aren''t happy with the court''s decision, but that doesn''t mean you can hit someone. Tessa is Dad''swyer and was just doing her job. You shouldn''t have taken out your anger on her."


    Yanis'' eyes turned red as she screamed, "You''re supporting that bitch instead of your own family now, are you? I am your mother! How could you support that bitch over me? Do you even see me as your mother anymore?"


    Enraged, Zachary roared, "How could you say that I don''t see you as my mother? I listened to you too much. I wouldn''t have snuck around with Wendy, nor would I have hurt Tessa if I didn''t listen to you!"


    "Are you ming me now?" Yanis eximed.


    Zachary sneered and replied, "How could I possibly dare to me you?"


    "Alright, stop arguing now. My ride''s here. Let''s go back together," Matthew said as he left the courthouse.


    Once Tessa returned to thew firm, her receptionist, Aubrey Reed, greeted her with a smile. "Ms. Yates, you''re back. Ms. Scott''s waiting for you in your office."


    Tessa paused. "Ms. Scott is here?"


    "That''s right. She''s been waiting for almost an hour now. I told her you had a court hearing today, but she said she was fine with waiting," Aubrey said.


    Tessa hummed in response and entered her office.


    Meanwhile, Marissa was sitting on the couch as she flipped through aw journal, looking somewhat bored. When she saw that Tessa had returned, she put the journal down and greeted Tessa. "You''re finally back."


    Tessa ced her bag down and sat on the couch.


    "Ms. Scott, did you need something from me?" As she spoke, she took out a pack


    of premium-grade tea leaves to brew.


    Marissa smiled and said, "I brought you a gift."


    Then, she took out a box and exined, "Tessa, I customized this pink diamond ne for you. This is a thank-you gift for saving my lifest time.


    "Since custom pieces take time before they''repleted, I only received the piece after a few days. Why don''t you take a look at it and see if you like it?"


    Marissa opened the box and showed Tessa the pink diamond ne inside.


    Tessa nced at the ne and


    immediately froze. The pink


    diamond looked to be around the


    size of a 25-carat diamond. It was


    gfa


    shaped into arge teardrop


    dazzling under the overhead lights.


    Furthermore, the ne itself held dozens of smaller diamonds. It was so beautiful and luxurious that it was hard to look away.


    "Ms. Scott, this ne is too expensive. I can''t ept it."


    Judging from the logo on the box alone, Tessa knew it would have cost Marissa tens of millions to have the brand make a custom-made ne.


    The piece was exquisite, and just the 25-carat diamond alone would have cost Marissa at least 100 million dors.


    Tessa had a lot of jewelry, including plenty of nes and bracelets worth tens or hundreds of millions of dors.


    That said, it was one thing to buy such expensive jewelry for herself, and another to ept such an expensive piece from Marissa.


    If she truly liked a piece, she could always buy it for herself, no matter how expensive it was.


    In addition, it wasn''t proper of her to ept such an extravagant gift from someone else. Tessa could not ept it.


    Marissa smiled when she heard


    Tessa''s words. "Just take it. You saved my life. Think about it this way-my life is worth way more than this ne. You saved my life, so giving you a gift in return is the least I could do."


    Tessa shook her head. "I can''t ept this."


    "Tessa, are you saying that my life isn''t even worth a ne?"


    Tessa chuckled in exasperation and said, "You know that wasn''t what I meant."


    "Then, just ept this gift."
