Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 178

On Saturday, Thalia visited the Winters home and had a conversation with Lucy’s psychologist.

The doctor advised that having a friend to play with could indeed help with Lucy’s psychological treatment.

Thalia approached Lucy, softening her voice as she asked, “Lucy, darling, how would you feel about meeting a new friend to play with?”

Lucy pressed her lips together and asked quietly, “What new friend?”

“Her name is Lena. She’s a little girl about your age–very sweet and lovely.”

“Do you like her, Thalia?” Lucy asked.

“I do,” Thalia smiled. “Lena is a very well–behaved child, just like you. I’m fond of both Lena and you.”

Lucy smiled shyly, her voice bright and clear. “Then I’d like to be friends with Lena. If you like her, then I’ll like her

too.”

Thalia smiled tenderly, stroking Lucy’s head. “You’re such a good girl.”

Back in her room, Thalia sent Rupert a message.

[Lucy’s agreed. She can’t go out at the moment, so when might Ms. Garret be able to bring Lena over for them to play together?]

Rupert replied: [Excellent. How about this afternoon?]

Thalia: [That would be fine. What sort of snacks and fruit does Lena enjoy? I’ll get some in.]

Rupert sent a list of Lena’s favorite treats.

[I’ll check what time works for my aunt and get back to you with specifics.]

[Perfect.]

Around half past three in the afternoon, Rupert drove up to the Winters residence with Lena.

“Ms. Winters,” Rupert said as he guided Lena by the hand, “my aunt couldn’t get away, so she asked me to bring

Lena over.”

“Lovely,” Thalia smiled. “Please, make yourselves comfortable. Lucy’s upstairs–I’ll call her down.”
