Chapter 1035: Thaliana Takes a Bullet

Halfway through the meal, Thaliana lifted her wine glass and toasted Tina.

"Tina, this toast is on behalf of our family's Connie. I want to thank you. If you hadn't taken her out of Ensford back then and mentored her, I can't imagine what she might have become."

"Now that she's by your side, working for you, I believe this must be the best arrangement heaven could offer."

Perhaps reminded of her own past, Thaliana's eyes turned red.

Tina stood up as well, her tone calm. "You're giving me too much credit. Courtney's achievements are the result of her own hard work. All I did was recognize her potential."

As she spoke, she replaced the wine in her hand with tea, explaining, "I've caught a bit of a cold recently, hope you don't mind."

Thaliana nodded in understanding and waved it off, finishing her own glass of wine in

one go.

The meal ended harmoniously. Afterward, Tina offered to give Thaliana a ride home.

As the three of them exited the restaurant and were about to get into the car, a sudden wave of murderous intent swept over them.

From across the street, several men in black appeared, armed and heading straight toward them.

"Tina, watch out!"

Courtney immediately stepped in front of Tina to shield her.

Before Courtney could take action, a dozen elite guards materialized around Tina, swiftly surrounding the men in black.

Within minutes, the situation was under control.

Tina's expression remained cold.

These were Uncle's people. They wouldn't show themselves unless absolutely necessary.

It seemed Claudia had noticed something.

Just as everyone began to relax, a passerby on the sidewalk glanced over casually.

A gun barrel gleamed in the light, aimed directly at Tina.

Tina raised an eyebrow but stayed calm. Energy gathered in her palm as she prepared to neutralize the threat.

But before she could act, the gunman shifted his aim to Courtney and fired without hesitation.
