Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

With all preparations complete, Winters & Associates officially opened for business.

That day, Thalia received a long–awaited call.

“Thalia, do you remember me? It’s Katie.”

Thalia was pleasantly surprised–she and Katie hadn’t been in touch for quite some time.

“Of course I remember you. I still have your number saved.”

Katie had been a trainee solicitor at the firm where Thalia worked in New York, and also her assistant. When Thalia

left, she had told Katie she could always come to her if needed.

Katie said: “Thalia, my training period has ended, and I’ve successfully passed the Law Society interview. I was wondering if your offer to join you still stands?”

“Congratulations!” Thalia said warmly, genuinely pleased. “Of course you can join us. My firm has just opened, and you’re welcome anytime.”

“Really?” Katie asked excitedly. “I’ll definitely come, then! As long as you don’t mind having me!”

Thalia laughed. “How could I mind? I helped train you, after all. I’m in London now. I’ll send you the address

shortly.”

Katie was thrilled. “Brilliant! I’ll book my ticket right away!”

When Louis, Thalia’s cousin, learned about her new firm, he immediately helped her recruit two excellent and

well–known solicitors.

In a private dining room at a restaurant, Louis introduced the two solicitors to Thalia.

“This is Christine Reynolds, a solicitor and my former classmate from secondary school,” Louis explained.

Christine had the appearance of an elite female solicitor–her smart bob haircut paired with a light tan professional suit gave her a highly competent look.

Thalia’s gaze lingered on Christine’s face for a moment. “Hello, Ms. Reynolds.”

Christine responded with a smile: “Hello, Ms. Winters. It seems we’ll be colleagues from now on.”

“This is Tobias Walter, whom I specifically poached from another firm for you. He’s a top expert in commercial
