Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

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 ?

" 14:26 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.8 % Chapter 163 " Like you , I never make losing deals , " Rupert's eyes twinkled with amusement . " With Ms. Winters ' impressive network and resources , I'm not worried about finding cases . I'm just waiting for you to bring me those big ticket briefs , " " Fair enough , " Thalia returned her card to her purse . " In that case , I won't stand on ceremony . " Thalia had just put her card away and was preparing to leave .

At that moment , a woman approached their table , her eyes wide with disbelief . " Rupert ? " The woman had reached their table . " It really is you ! " Rupert blinked in surprise . " Aunt Amanda ? " The woman , named Amanda Lysander , wore her chestnut - colored hair in a smart bob and had impeccable makeup . Though over forty , she was so well - preserved she looked barely thirty . " And who might this be ? " Amanda smiled warmly at Thalia .

" This is my partner I've mentioned to you , Thalia Winters , " Rupert introduced , then turned to Thalia . " Thalia , this is my aunt . " " Hello , " Thalia smiled in greeting . " Hello there , " Amanda could barely contain her smile . " Rupert has mentioned you to me . " Thalia smiled faintly . " You rascal , " Amanda nudged Rupert with her elbow . " You only said Ms. Winters was an exceptionally skilled lawyer . You never mentioned she was such a beauty .

" Rupert's face showed a hint of embarrassment . " Aunt Amanda … " " Ms. Winters , do you have a boyfriend ? " Amanda asked with remarkable familiarity . Thalia was taken aback . This was rather forward . " Aunt ! " Rupert quickly interrupted Amanda . The man's ears had turned suspiciously red … " I'm so sorry , Ms. Winters . My aunt is a bit of a social menace . Please don't mind her , " Rupert hurriedly explained . Thalia smiled and shook her head . " It's quite alright .

" Vairess 98.9 % Chapter 163 Amanda gave Rupert a meaningful look , lowering her voice . " I think this young lady suits you perfectly . It's rare to see you out with a woman . You should make a proper go of it ! " Though she had deliberately lowered her voice , Thalia was close enough to hear . Thalia awkwardly averted her gaze , pretending not to have heard . Rupert rubbed his temples helplessly . " Aunt , would you please stop fussing over me . " " How can I not fuss ?

Do you know that a few years ago when you showed no interest in women, your mother and I both thought you might be gay ? We were both terribly anxious but didn't dare ask you … " Before Amanda could finish , Rupert covered her mouth . " Now you're just being ridiculous . " Thalia couldn't help but laugh . Amanda quickly stopped herself . " Well , um , Ms. Winters , our Rupert's sexual orientation is perfectly normal . I've got something to attend to , so do carry on with your evening .

" Thalia responded politely : " Alright, goodbye . " " Goodbye , future niece - in - law ! " Amanda's eyes curved with mischief . Thalia : " … " After Amanda left , Rupert apologized profusely . " I'm terribly sorry , Ms. Winters . My aunt likes to talk absolute rubbish . Please don't take it to heart . " " It's fine , " Thalia smiled . " I wouldn't have expected Rupert to face marriage pressure . I thought someone as exceptional as you would already have a girlfriend or fiancée .

" Hearing this , Rupert gave Thalia a meaningful look before quickly averting his gaze . " I'm waiting for someone . " " What ? " Thalia didn't understand at first , but quickly caught on after asking . " I see . " " It's getting late . Let me drive you home , " Rupert stood , picking up his jacket . " No need , " Thalia also stood up . " I drove here . " " You just had wine , " Rupert gently reminded her . " Oh , right , " Thalia said . " Don't trouble yourself .

I'll call my driver to pick me up . " She had planned to go to the Winters family villa tonight to check on her sister anyway . " That works too . " Rupert didn't insist further . 49049 Chapter 163 In a secluded villa on the outskirts of town . Drake Ashcroft shouted furiously , " You wanted to use me to get rid of Thalia ? You knew damn well Tom Malfoy would kill Lucy if the police were called , yet you still pushed me to contact them right away ! " Grace gave a cold laugh . " So what ?

I've always wanted Thalia Winters dead ! " " Grace ! " Drake bellowed , veins bulging on his forehead . " You originally said you just wanted to break up Thalia and Asher , not that you wanted her dead ! " " That was then . " Grace's eyes were full of mockery as she curled her lips . " Now I simply want her dead . Only when she's gone will my brother have eyes for me . " " You're completely insane ! " Drake was so angry his chest heaved violently .

He tried to lunge at her but was blocked by Grace's bodyguards . " Drake Ashcroft , look at your pathetic , useless self . How utterly worthless you are ! No wonder Thalia doesn't want you . " Grace's face was filled with contempt . " Thalia wouldn't give you the time of day even after breaking up with Asher . You're of no use to me anymore . Our cooperation ends here . " Drake spoke venomously , " Aren't you afraid I'll tell Asher everything you've done ?noveldrama

" " Hahahahaha … " Grace burst into laughter as if she'd heard an excellent joke . " Did I hear that correctly ? " Grace looked at Drake with amusement . " Are you threatening me ? " " Don't forget who stands behind me , " Grace said , relying on her powerful backing . " For Tom Malfoy , I'm far more useful than you . Guess what happens if you expose my actions , the Blackwood family disowns me , and I lose my usefulness ? Do you think Tom Malfoy would spare you then ?

" At the mention of Tom Malfoy , fear flashed in Drake's eyes . This was a madman who dared to hunt down Asher Blackwood with heavy assault rifles in broad daylight ! Asher might have survived Tom Malfoy , but Drake Ashcroft certainly wouldn't . He was just an ordinary rich kid , a playboy who only knew how to eat , drink , and be merry .

Although he had recently been putting effort into running his company , unlike his previous wasteful lifestyle , he was still an ordinary person without his own power base or professionally trained mercenaries . The bodyguards he hired would be eliminated within seconds if they faced Tom Malfoy's men . If Tom Malfoy really targeted him , he would have absolutely no chance of survival . Thinking of this , Drake gritted his teeth , having no choice but to back down .
