An hour later, Thalia returned to Sarah’s office, placing contracts on her desk.

“Task completed,” she said coolly. “A five–year counsel contract with £150,000 already transferred. Plus three payment dispute cases and one patent infringement case, all with retainers paid. Total revenue: £800,000. Check with Finance if you don’t believe me.”

She showed Sarah the payment confirmations on her phone. “The firm’s losses are covered.”

Sarah stared at the contracts in disbelief, eyes widening at the signature. “Winters Group… Randolph Winters is your…”

The contracts slipped from Sarah’s hands. “You’re the Winters heiress?”
