Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 164

Katie had passed the interview at Winters & Associates and officially started today as a salaried lawyer.

As Lucy Jenkins had also resigned from Sinclair & Klein to join Thalia’s firm, Thalia arranged for Lucy Jenkins to be Katie’s assistant.

Both young women were outgoing and cheerful, getting along splendidly.

For the Solar case, Thalia organized the evidence according to Rupert’s suggestions and drafted the statement of claim.

Near the end of the workday, Thalia received a call from a private investigator.

“Ms. Winters, I’ve made progress regarding Drake Ashcroft and Grace that you asked me to investigate. Do you have time to meet today? I have something to give you.”

Thalia replied, “Yes, I’m about to finish work. Could you come to a café near my office?”

“Of course.”

Thalia provided an address. “Half past six, see you at the café.”

“Very well, Ms. Winters.”

After hanging up, Rupert knocked and entered her office. “Ms. Winters, about what my aunt said to you yesterday–I’ve been thinking about it and feel I should apologize properly.”

Thalia raised an eyebrow. “It’s really nothing. I know she was just joking. I didn’t take it to heart.”

“How about this,” Rupert adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Let me take you out for dinner, as an apology on behalf of my aunt.”

Thalia smiled. “That’s really not necessary. No need to be so formal.”

Rupert looked at Thalia, hesitated, then touched the tip of his nose and said, “Alright then.”

“Oh, by the way,” Thalia pulled out two thick, heavy manila envelopes. “We received several new cases today. These two are in your area of expertise.”

Rupert accepted the case files, smiling. “New cases already? As you promised, working with you certainly won’t leave me skint.”

“Is that really the extent of your ambition, Rupert? Just not being broke?” Thalia smiled. “Take a look.”
