Chapter 175

Less than half an hour after signing the contracts, the law firm’s account suddenly received a massive wire transfer.

Lawrence from Accounting nearly had a heart attack, rushing immediately to Thalia’s office.

“Ms. Winters! We’ve just received an £8 million payment into the firm’s account!” Lawrence’s eyes were wide as saucers. “What on earth is this about?”

“We’ve just signed a major deal with Blackwood Group,” Thalia replied calmly. “This is just the initial payment–there’s more to come after the cases are settled.”

“What? You mean this is only a portion? There’s more coming?” Lawrence looked utterly gobsmacked.

“Indeed.” Thalia smiled, her clear eyes sparkling. “I’ll treat everyone to dinner on Friday.”

“Brilliant!” Lawrence beamed with delight.

Shortly after Lawrence left, Rupert appeared at her door.

“I hear we’ve landed another big client? Blackwood Group, no less?” he inquired.

“Yes, I’ll be assigning several cases to your team shortly,” Thalia replied.

Rupert looked slightly uncomfortable. “Mr. Blackwood is certainly generous. Eight million upfront–what’s the total

fee?”

“This much.” Thalia held up two fingers in a V–sign.

Twenty million pounds.

Rupert let out a low whistle. “After this job, we could practically retire, couldn’t we?”

“Where’s your ambition, Mr. Lysander?” Thalia gave him a teasing look. “My goal is to make Winters & Associates the top firm in London.”

“Even Sinclair & Klein doesn’t pull in twenty million a year,” Rupert smiled. “In terms of revenue, we’re already miles ahead of them. We just need to catch up on headcount and brand recognition.”

“Don’t worry, once we’ve handled these major Blackwood cases, our reputation will soar. Keep at it!” Thalia gove Rupert an encouraging pat. “I’ve got high hopes for you.”

Rupert nodded. “We’ll need to expand the firm.”

“Absolutely,” Thalia agreed. “I’ll have HR rush to recruit more solicitors and assistants. We should also refine our
