Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 205 Chapter 205 After being discharged from the hospital, Thalia had spent several days reviewing the Blackwood Group cases. The Blackwood files were high - stakes litigation with massive damage claims and mountains of evidence. Though she'd already organized everything once, Thalia insisted on meticulously reviewing each document again herself.

With her trademark work ethic, she'd barely taken tto recover, staying late at Winters & Associates almost every night since leaving the hospital. That evening, her phone rang with news she'd been anticipating. " Ms. Winters, Trump Ashcroft refused to sign the divorce papers," her contact reported." He actually tore them up. Magret had another screaming match with him this afternoon and has now hired Katherine Hayes to handle her divorce.

"Thalia stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of her corner office, twenty-two stories above London. The city lights sparkled below, their reflection highlighting her elegant features in the glass . " Good to know," she replied coolly. After hanging up, she immediately printed a standard retainer agreement and power of attorney forms from her firm's system. Grabbing her car keys and locking the office, she headed for the elevator with Alana following closely behind.

In the elevator, Thalia pulled out her phone and made a call. "What?" Trump Ashcroft answered gruffly. " Mr. Ashcroft, it's Thalia Winters . " " Why the hell are you calling me?" His voice dripped with hostility. "Haven't you ruined Drake's life enough already?" Drake's suicide attempt over Thalia had left Trump with nothing but contempt for her.

With Magret constantly in his ear about how Thalia had orchestrated their company's downfall, Trump's feelings had evolved from simple dislike to pure hatred. "Letguess," he spat, " calling to gloat now that you've destroyed everything we built?" Thalia let out a soft laugh. " Actually, Mr. Ashcroft, I'm calling to help you. I understand Magret is pushing for divorce, and I'd like to represent you in the proceedings. "" Help? " Trump scoffed.

"You bankrupted my family business. Why would I trust you?" 14:15 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.1 % Chapter 205 " Mr. Ashcroft, " Thalia addressed him calmly, " let's get one thing straight." Her voice remained measured but authoritative : " I didn't bankrupt Ashcroft Enterprises. Your son made catastrophically bad investment decisions, hemorrhaged money on failing projects, broke your capital chain, and triggered massive contractual penalties with your partners.

Normally, those debts would stay with the company, and after bankruptcy, Drake would walk away clean. But he got sloppy - mixing personal and company assets, abusing his position to defraud creditors. Any corporate solicitor will tell you the courts will pierce the corporate veil in a heartbeat and hold him personally liable alongside the company. " "As a businessman, I'm sure you understand exactly what I'm saying." Trump fell silent, knowing she was right.

The elevator doors opened to the parking with a soft chime. Thalia walked toward her car with purposeful strides. Reaching the gleaming white Rolls-Royce, she tossed the keys to Alana . " Look, put aside our history for a moment," Thalia continued. "My track record speaks for itself - three years in practice with a near- perfect win rate. You won't find better representation for your divorce, especially not now." Trump's voice softened slightly.

"Why would you even want my case ? " Alana held the rear door open as Thalia slid into the plush leather seat. "Because I don't want Magret to get this divorce," she replied, a hint of satisfaction coloring her voice. " I'd rather see her miserable. " Trump said nothing, but Thalia's reasoning resonated with him. For years, he'd showered Magret with every luxury - designer jewellery, limited - edition handbags, whatever caught her eye. He'd denied her nothing.

Now that the money was gone, she wanted out - ready to abandon her husband and son to find her next meal ticket. The thought made his blood boil. She'd been happy to share the wealth but not the hardship. Trump couldn't stomach it. This divorce? Over his dead body. He believed Thalia's motivation completely. He'd witnessed firsthand how Magret had looked down on Thalia, humiliating her at every opportunity.

Alana started the engine, and the Rolls-Royce glided silently through the parking garage. "I can be at the hospital in twenty minutes, " Thalia said. " Does that work for you?" Nairose 98.2 % Chapter 205 After a moment's hesitation, Trump muttered, " Fine. ""Make sure we're alone." Thalia added. " No Magret, no Drake." She didn't need any emotional interruptions during their discussion. " Obviously," Trump replied tersely.

Twenty minutes later, Thalia swept into Trump's hospital room with Alana trailing behind. " Mr. Ashcroft," she greeted with a professional smile. Trump couldn't bring himself to return it. His company was in ruins, his family life shattered, his health failing. With Magret storming in daily to berate him, he looked like he'd aged a decade in weeks - more grey hair, deeper lines etched into his face." There are thousands of solicitors in London," he said bluntly.

"Why should I hire you?" Thalia's smile didn't waver . " True, but how many of them are Thalia Winters ? " She perched on the edge of a visitor's chair. "Your family is broke, Mr. Ashcroft. Magret hired Katherine Hayes for a bargain - basement £ 6,000 because that's all she can scrape together. You're in the sboat, aren't you?" Trump's stony silence was answer enough. Legal fees typically scaled with the assets at stake.

With their fortune gone and most valuable possessions seized by creditors, the marital property to divide was pathetically small - hence the low legal fees \ But even £6,000 was a fortune to them now - a month's rent and living expenses for the entire family. He was flat broke. A high-priced solicitor was out of the question." Let's be honest," Thalia continued, her voice matter - of fact." Small - tdivorce cases like yours? Most decent solicitors wouldn't touch them.

And even if you tried shopping around, one call fromwould close every law office door in London to you." Trump knew she wasn't asn'th bluffing. Thalia was just any solicitor she was Randolph Winters daughter, London elite. Law firms would fall over themselves to curry favour with the Winters family. The potential future business from that connection would far outweigh anything they'd gain from representing Trump Ashcroft in his messy divorce. It was simple maths.

After weighing his nonexistent options, Trump finally spoke: " Fine. You're hired. Just make damn sure the court denies this divorce. " 98,3 % Chapter 205 Thalia's lips curved intola satisfied smile. "Consider it done." After her abortion, Sienna Carroll had been recuperating at home, dreading the upcoming appeal hearing for her defamation case against Thalia. The Central London County Court hadn't set a date yet, but Sienna knew her twas running out. With Ashcroft Enterprises beyond salvation, she'd made her decision. She reached out to a wealthy former admirer from her social circle - a trust fund playboy who'd always had a thing for her - and asked him to help her leave the country. (4)
