Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 202 00 10% Chapter 202 The next afternoon, Thalia's phone rang. The caller got straight to the point, updating her on the latest disaster unfolding at the Ashcroft Group. " Multiple creditors have filed claims. Ashcroft Group's total debt now totals a staggering £ 1.3 billion. " "As the major shareholder, Drake Ashcroft basically hid behind the company structure and limited liability rules to dodge what he owed, leaving creditors high and dry. Several companies he burned have teamed up, submitting evidence to the court demanding Drake be held personally liable for the corporate debts." "His properties have been seized, high-value assets impounded, and all his bank accounts are frozen solid. " " And get this - Margret Ashcroft lawyered up this morning to draft divorce papers. " Thalia wasn't surprised. Margret, used to the lap of luxury, wouldn't last five minutes in their current state of poverty.

"Which solicitor did she retain ?" Thalia asked. The caller replied, " Attorney Amanda Carter from Sinclair & Klein." Sinclair & Klein. Thalia knew it all too well. It was the firm she'd left shortly after a certain investor, linked to the Blackwoods, had gotten involved. She later heard that investor was kicked out of the Blackwood family, and Asher's legal team had clawed back the investment money. As for Amanda Carter, Thalia remembered her all too well.

1 The woman had a notorious temper and a toxic vibe. The slightest hiccup at work and she'd unleash on her assistant. She'd chew them out over the smallest things; poor Lucy Jenkins had been her target countless times often ending up in tears . Thalia had heard Carter had a reputation for driving assistants away. Most didn't last a month. Ssupposedly tougher ones quit after a single day, not even bothering to collect their pay. Once Lucy Jenkins passed her solicitor qualification exams, she'd been trapped there, enduring Carter's abuse for a full year. Basically a punching bag. Thank God Lucy was out now, thriving at Winters & Associates, seemingly always smiling and full of energy. The nAmanda Carter made Thalia narrow her eyes. " Has Trump Ashcroft agreed to the divorce? Have they settled ? " " Nope," the caller said.

"Margret and Trump had a huge blowout at the hospital last night over the divorce. Turned 10:14 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 99.5 % 1 Chapter 202 into a total sideshow, apparently everyone heard. She marched straight to the solicitor first thing this morning," Thalia considered this. " Trump definitely won't sign those papers. Margret will have to sue for divorce. Keep tabs on her, letknow the second anything changes "" Got it.

"After hanging up, Thalia thought it through. If Trump refused to sign, Margret would sue, and Trump would need a lawyer. Margret wasn't getting out of this marriage easily. While UK courts usually make you wait if one side contests it the first time, srare cases get pushed through. To make sure Margret didn't just walk away clean, Thalia decided she'd represent Trump Ashcroft herself. Late May arrived, and Thalia's wound had healed enough for her to be discharged.

Randolph and Aunt Victoria cpersonally to collect her. Charlotte Darwin and Victoria Quinn ctoo . Victoria Quinn, visibly shaken by Andrew Blackwood's suicide weeks ago, had been undergoing intensive therapy at hbut seemed much more like her old self now.

You'll chfor dinner, won't you?" Thalia nodded. "Okay. That's really thoughtful of you, Victoria . " " And your stepmother also has a little something for you, " Randolph teased . " Dad ! Way to spoil the surprise! Victoria pretended to scold him. Randolph just chuckled. " She doesn't know what the gift is, so it's still a surprise." Thalia smiled at Victoria. "It's okay. Dad's right, it's still a surprise if I don't know what it is. " 10:14 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 99.6 % Chapter 202 " I got you something too, Thalia, Charlotte said, handing her a sleek gift bag. " Picked it up on my Switzerland trip. Open it ! " Thalia recognized the logo instantly a high end Swiss watchmaker. - "Thanks," she smiled, pulling out the box. Inside lay an elegant white ladies' watch. Her smile widened . " It's beautiful, Charlotte. Thank you. "" Please, what are friends for? Lethelp you put it on.

Anything you want Deal?" Thalia laughed, her eyes sparkling." Deal. Don't say I didn't warn you." They all headed out of the hospital room together. In the outdoor parking lot, Thalia turned to her friends." Thanks for coming to gettoday, everyone.

|| || Hey, that's what friends do," Victoria Quinn waved dismissively.

Don't be weird." Charlotte nodded Seriously. No need for thank yous Rupert added with his characteristic gentle smile," And certainly no need for formalities with me." They chatted for another minute before splitting off. Thalia headed towards her family's car, then stopped short. A familiar vehicle caught her eye. A black Rolls-Royce Cullinan. She changed direction slightly, walking closer.

|| Recognized the plates. Her eyes narrowed. Asher Blackwood's car. She walked right up to it and tapped lightly on the driver's side window. The tinted glass slid down, revealing Π!!! Asher's impossibly handsface." What are you doing here?" Thalia asked, her voice softer than she intended, maybe a little hesitant . He looked at her, his dark eyes intense, unreadable. "You're getting out today. Cto see. " 99.8% Chapter 202 Her heart gave an odd little flutter, like a feather brushing against it. "Wound all healed up?" Asher asked, his voice low. " Feeling okay?" Thalia shook her head slightly." I'm fine. " His gaze dropped pointedly to the blue bouquet in her arms, a slight edge sharpening his tone. " Flowers from Lysander ? "(15)
