Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 138 With all preparations complete, Winters & Associates officially opened for business.

That day, Thalia received a long-awaited call.

"Thalia, do you remember me? It's Katie." Thalia was pleasantly surprised-she and Katie hadn't been in touch for quite stime.

"Of course I remember you. I still have your number saved." Katie had been a trainee solicitor at the firm where Thalia worked in New York, and also her assistant. When Thalia left, she had told Katie she could always cto her if needed.

Katie said: "Thalia, my training period has ended, and I've successfully passed the Law Society interview. I was wondering if your offer to join you still stands?" "Congratulations!" Thalia said warmly, genuinely pleased. "Of course you can join us. My firm has just opened, and you're welcanytime.” "Really?" Katie asked excitedly. "I'll definitely come, then! As long as you don't mind having me!" Thalia laughed. "How could I mind? I helped train you, after all. I'm in London now. I'll send you the address shortly." Katie was thrilled. "Brilliant! I'll book my ticket right away!" When Louis, Thalia's cousin, learned about her new firm, he immediately helped her recruit two excellent and well-known solicitors.

In a private dining room at a restaurant, Louis introduced the two solicitors to Thalia.

"This is Christine Reynolds, a solicitor and my former classmate from secondary school," Louis explained.

Christine had the appearance of an elite female solicitor-her smart bob haircut paired with a light tan professional suit gave her a highly competent look.

Thalia's gaze lingered on Christine's face for a moment. “Hello, Ms. Reynolds." Christine responded with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Winters. It seems we'll be colleagues from now on." "This is Tobias Walter, whom I specifically poached from another firm for you. He's a top expert in commercial 15:10 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 97.9% Chapter 138 law." Tobias appeared to be in his forties, formally dressed in a suit and tie, wearing glasses and with a slim build, giving an impression of steadiness and reserve.

"Hello, Mr. Walter. I've heard great things about you. I look forward to working together," Thalia said. "Hello, Ms. Winters. Let's grow together," he replied.

Apart from Louis, everyone at the table was in the sprofession, giving them plenty to talk about. The atmosphere was lively.

After the meal, Thalia bid farewell to Louis and her new colleagues before getting into her Rolls-Royce.

She pressed the accelerator, and the white Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the car park onto the wide main road. Checking the time, she noted that Katie's flight would soon be landing at Gatwick Airport. Thalia was on her way to meet her.

When Katie had sent her flight information earlier that afternoon, Thalia had insisted on picking her up.

Katie had said it wasn't necessary and that she could take a taxi to the hotel.

But Thalia thought about how the young woman would be unfamiliar with the area, without relatives or friends nearby, knowing only Thalia. So she insisted on meeting her at the airport to help her get settled.

Gatwick Airport was about 45 kilometres from central London.

Finding the air in the car a bit stuffy, Thalia lowered the window halfway, allowing the outside breeze to circulate.

By late April, London's temperature had begun to warm.

The wind had lost its biting cold and carried a refreshing coolness.

As the cool breeze dispelled the stuffiness in the car, Thalia reflected on recent events with a sense of cont nent.

The firm had opened successfully, her partners and new colleagues seemed easy to get along with, and several renowned and capable solicitors had already joined despite the firm being newly established. Even Katie, her former assistant, was coming to join her.

Everything was developing positively.

Her career was like the rising sun, full of energy and promise.

She was one step closer to her dream.

The white Rolls-Royce navigated through the traffic, leaving the bustling city streets behind as it entered the 15:10 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress Chapter 138 suburban roads.

At just after ten in the evening, this remote suburban route was sparsely populated.

Thalia had been driving for about ten minutes when she suddenly noticed a black car that seemed to be following her.

This road didn't only lead to the airport-there were forks ahead leading to other destinations. Even if it did only lead to the airport, it would be normal for other cars to be behind her; perhaps they were also heading to the airport.

The problem was that when Thalia saw the black car in her rearview mirror, something flashed quickly through her mind.

She had seen this car earlier while waiting at a traffic light in the city.

At that time, it had been parked diagonally behind her.

This meant the car had been following her all the way from the city to the suburbs.

A chill suddenly ran through Thalia's body, raising goosebumps on her back.

Thalia noticed that when she slowed down, the other car also reduced its speed, showing no intention of overtaking.

When she accelerated, they did too.

This further confirmed her suspicion.

The car was following her.

Thalia picked up her phone, preparing to make a call.

Meanwhile.

In the car behind.

The driver frowned, speaking to the man in the back seat: "Boss, I think she's spotted us." "Get on with it, then," he snarled.

"Right you are, boss." Thalia had just picked up her phone but hadn't yet made the call.

Suddenly.

"CRASH!"-a tremendous sound.

15:10 Your Cold Diens Chapter 138 The black car behind her suddenly accelerated and rammed into her.

The massive impact caused Thalia's car to lose control instantly. The white Rolls-Royce crashed into the roadside barrier, its front severely dented, and the airbags deployed.

Thalia's phone was jolted from her hand.

She was also left dazed by the collision.

Thalia recovered slightly and painfully bent down to search for her phone.

She needed to call for help immediately.

However, just as she found her phone, the car window was violently shattered from outside.

The assailant had clearly cprepared, bringing a professional window-breaking hammer.

After breaking the glass, he reached in to open the door and roughly pulled Thalia out.

"Who are you?" Thalia instinctively asked as she was dragged from the car.

The man didn't answer, continuing to try to drag her toward the roadside.

While inside the car, the confined space had limited her movements, but once outside, Thala immediately fought back. She quickly broke free from the man's grip and managed to land several punches.

The man clearly hadn't expected this seemingly delicate woman to possess such fighting skills. Caught guard, he took several blows, cursing profusely before charging forward to attack Thalia with renewed intensity. However, he was no match for her.

Thalia landed a solid punch on the man's nose, causing it to bleed instantly.

Using both her hands and feet, she quickly subdued him.

This section of road had no surveillance cameras or streetlights. The harsh headlights illuminated the man's pitiful state.

He lay awkwardly on the ground, his chin covered in bright red blood, still spewing vulgar obscenities.

"You bloody useless piece of shit! Can't even handle one sodding woman?" Another man got out of the black car, his tone dripping with contempt.

"Boss, the bitch knows how to fight," the injured man growled through gritted teeth.

During the exchange between the two men, Thalia quietly edged toward her car, trying to retrieve her phone to make a call.

15-10 Chapter 138 She had just picked up the phone when the second man rushed over and snatched it away.

He then removed her SIM card, violently smashed the phone on the ground-the screen shattering into pieces-and broke the SIM card in half before tossing it into the roadside bushes. "Get in the fucking car," the man said coldly. "Now." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
