Chapter 45

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’s face went pale. “You… you know Asher Blackwood?”

“My fiancé,” Thalia said coldly, “and the ‘sugar daddy‘ your office has been gossiping about.”

Sarah broke into a cold sweat. “I… I apologize. I had no idea you were Mr. Blackwood’s fiancée…”
