Chapter 104
Stephen’s fingers began tapping rhythmically on the edge of his desk. “Have you talked to the Gomez family?”
Samson replied, “We did, and their response is the same as before. Mr. Gomez claims to have not known that Susan was one of your admirers and that she was merely his companion for that night.”

On Friday morning at Shelton Law Firm, Vivian, the head of the litigation department, sent a message in the department’s group chat.
The message read, “There will be a department dinner tonight, and all employees in the litigation department are welcome to join. I’ll share the time and location in the group later.”
Shortly after the message was sent, Jasmine messaged Tessa privately. “Ms. Yates, will you be going to tonight’s dinner?”
Jasmine had always been close to Tessa, and ever since Tessa had saved her from a criminal, she had been deeply grateful and admired her immensely.
She had practically become Tessa’s little fangirl.
Later, Vivian assigned Jasmine to work as Tessa’s assistant, and the two became friends.
Tessa replied, “Yeah, I’ll go. I don’t have any plans after work anyway.”
William had been officially arrested due to the criminal charges against him.
Tessa had also sued Yasmin for defamation. After the court had carried out the lawsuit, Yasmin was too ashamed to stay at the law firm and resigned.
Hence, the atmosphere within the firm was much better, and Tessa genuinely liked her colleagues. So, naturally, she decided to join the dinner.
Jasmine quickly replied, “Alright! I’ll go since you’re going!”
Their dinner was held at a restaurant that served Lospia cuisine. After the meal, someone suggested moving to a bar for some drinks.
Thinking about how so many things had happened recently and how exhausted she was to be on edge every day, she figured she could use a break and relax a little. So, she agreed to head to the bar.
They went to a quiet bar.
As her colleagues drank, chatted, and joked around, she was in a good mood and joined in with a few drinks.
She had always had a low alcohol tolerance and was already feeling tipsy after just a few glasses.
“I’m telling you all, I–I’m King Kong, king to the apes! Bow before me!” Tessa exclaimed, completely drunk. Her face was flushed red, and she was staggering as she walked.
Some of her colleagues were also drunk, slumped over the table, snoring.
The ones who could hold their liquor laughed and pulled out their phones to record her, and Jasmine was among them.
Jasmine wasn’t actually a good drinker, so she hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol. She had only come along to keep an eye on Tessa, worried that something might happen if she got too drunk.
It turned out she had made the right decision. Tessa was completely wasted after having a few drinks.
Seeing her acting all silly while drunk, Jasmine found it amusing and took out her phone to record a video while playing along. “All hail King Kong!”
Tessa giggled uncontrollably. “Let me tell you all something, my husband’s the best one in the world! Did you guys know that he’s liked me for a long time?” Laughing, Jasmine continued recording her. “Oh, is that true? You two are so sweet together.”
“I’ll tell you all another secret, but you can’t tell anyone! Don’t be fooled by how handsome my husband is. He’s actually…”
Another colleague, still sober, grinned and asked, “He’s actually what?”
Drunk out of her mind, she giggled before blurting out, “I’m not afraid of you guys laughing at me, but I think my husband might have a little problem getting it
up.”
At the bar counter, a strikingly handsome, seductive looking man nearly spat out his drink when he heard Tessa claiming that her husband had problems “in that
area“.
After laughing his heart out, he pulled out his phone and sent a message. “I heard you’ve got some issues getting it up?”
