NovelEnglishChapter 301 Chapter 255 Even after all these years, the mention of Rosalind still hit Randolph like a physical blow. His eyes lowered, anger melting into profound grief. Thalia said nothing more and walked out. Randolph stood frozen for a moment before heading upstairs. Thalia had originally chfor dinner-Aunt Victoria had personally prepared a feast of Thalia's favorites. But after their blowup, neither father nor daughter touched the food.

Leaving the Winters estate with her emotions in shambles, Thalia headed straight to a bar. ---- She called Victoria. "Vic, where you at? Chave a drink with me. I'm having the worst day." On the other end, Victoria's voice was punctuated by barely suppressed gasps. Thalia immediately got the picture. Victoria was... otherwise engaged.
Thalia was about to hang up, but hearing the distress in her voice, Victoria immediately composed herself. "Lia, what's wrong?" "Dad and I got into it," Thalia said, her voice tight. "Don't worry about it. You're clearly busy-T'll deal." Victoria swatted away Sebastian's wandering hand. "Needto come? Where are you? I can be there in twenty." Thalia knew Victoria was in the middle of something with Sebastian and didn't want to be a mood-killer. "It's fine.
I'll figure it out." "Okay, but be careful. Alana with you?" Victoria asked. ---- "Yeah, she's here." "Good." Victoria spoke while Sebastian's hands started roaming again, earning him a death glare. "Talk later, Lia." "sure." After hanging up, Victoria shot Sebastian an exasperated look, "Seriously? I was talking to Thalia." Sebastian silenced her with a kiss, his voice rough: "And now you're not." Charlotte couldn't handle her liquor, and Victoria was occupied.
Thalia called Lucy Jenkins and Katie next. The moment Lucy heard Thalia was down, she immediately volunteered to ckeep her company. Katie had just finished dinner and was mindlessly scrolling through shows on her couch. Always up for drinking, she jumped at Thalia's call. ---- With tomorrow being Saturday-no work-and both being close friends, they were happy to rally around Thalia. At the bar. The three women settled into a booth with six different bottles of alcohol on the table.

Thalia casually opened a bottle and drank straight from it. She gulped down half the bottle in one go, leaving Lucy staring in shock. Lucy quickly snatched it away. "Whoam away. wewe. "W slow down, tigert We've got all night-pace yourself." Lucy knew full well Thalia was a lightweight. She vividly remembered what happened the last tThalia got drunk at the firm party. Katie added, "Yeah, Lia, what's got you hitting it this hard tonight?" Thalia lowered her eyes, expression turning somber. "My dad wantsto dump Asher, but I just can't." Katie and Lucy exchanged glances.
