Chapter 163

At the restaurant.

Rupert elegantly cut into his steak.

Thalia had ordered a bottle of Romanée–Conti Grand Cru red wine.

A uniformed waiter decanted the wine for them.

Rupert smiled. “Even if the judge supports all our claims in the Solar case, the legal fees would only be £200,000. This bottle of wine alone costs £180,000. Ms. Winters, I’d say you’re making rather a loss on this transaction.”

Thalia gently swirled her wine glass, her star–like beautiful eyes containing a hint of amusement. “Not at all. I never make losing deals,”

Rupert smiled at her, waiting for her to continue.

“The revenue you can bring to Winters & Associates in a year is at least ten times the cost of this wine,” Thalia said

with a smile.

Rupert chuckled softly. “And here I thought Ms. Winters was just splashing the cash. I didn’t realize you’re such a

shrewd businesswoman.”

“But of course. Consider whose daughter I am.”

When it came to business, who could compare to London’s leading entrepreneur, Randolph Winters?

The dinner was thoroughly enjoyable.

Rupert provided many practical suggestions and argumentation strategies.

Thalia noted them all down.

After dinner, Thalia called the waiter over to settle the bill.

The waiter smiled politely and said, “Excuse me, madam, but the gentleman has already taken care of it.”

Thalia’s hand, reaching for her card, paused. She looked up at Rupert sitting across from her. “Didn’t we agree that this one was my treat?”

Rupert’s lips curved upward. “Letting a lady pay isn’t quite my style.”

“…” Thalia puffed her cheeks slightly. “A £180,000 bottle of wine, £20,000 worth of food–you’ve spent £200,000 before you’ve even earned anything at Winters & Associates. Isn’t that a losing deal for you?”
