Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 

Chapter 132 

On the tenth day after St. Patrick’s, Thalia returned to work at Sinclair & Klein. 

On her first day back, the firm received an unexpected visitor. 

Grace Bennett, dressed in an expensive designer suit and carrying a high–end handbag, made a conspicuous entrance into Sinclair & Klein, heading straight for Thalia’s office. 

The office door wasn’t locked, and Grace walked in without knocking. 

Thalia was on the phone. Looking up to see Grace’s uninvited presence, she frowned slightly. 

“Let’s leave it there for now. Something’s come up–I’ll call you back.” 

Grace sat on the sofa with an air of entitlement, casually placing her handbag beside her, surveying Thalia’s office. “This place is frightfully small. You call this an office?” 

Thalia hung up and looked at her, expressionless. “What are you doing here?” 

Grace’s lips curled into a smirk. “I forgot to tell you–I’ve invested in your law firm. I’m now one of the silent partners. Your boss, essentially.” 

Thalia’s gaze remained calm, seemingly unsurprised. “And?” 

Grace smiled at Thalia. “There’s no one else here today, so I’ll drop the act. Thalia, I truly despise you, you know?” 

Thalia calmly picked up her water glass and took a sip. “Is that so? I’m not particularly fond of you either.” 

“Huh,” Grace chuckled dismissively. “Grandmother was right–solicitors are so sharp–tongued. You can only win verbal sparring matches with me now. Before, when you were my brother’s fiancée, I called you “Thalia‘ as a courtesy. Did you actually think you were someone important?” 

Grace’s eyes gleamed with triumph as she taunted, “You probably don’t know this yet, but Grandmother is arranging matchmaking meetings for Asher. You and my brother are never getting back together.” 

Thalia’s hand faltered briefly, her heart feeling as though it had been stung. 

She didn’t reveal this reaction to Grace, however. 

Thalia looked up with a flawless smile. “That’s lovely, isn’t it? It shows that even without me in the picture, you still have no chance of marrying into the Blackwood family. Your grandmother is arranging dates for Asher, yet you’re still smiling? If I were you, I’d be crying under my duvet all day.” 

The smug smile on Grace’s face instantly froze.

The mockery in her eyes transformed into shock. “You… you knew?” 

Thalia gave a cold laugh. “Your feelings for your brother are obvious to anyone with eyes. It’s only because you don’t dare act on them in front of the Blackwoods that Lady Blackwood hasn’t thrown you out yet.” 

Grace’s face paled slightly. “So what if you know? Even if you told the Blackwoods now, no one would believe you!” 

“Do you think I’m like you? Someone who enjoys stirring up trouble and causing mischief?” Thalia’s eyes cooled, her voice filled with disdain. “What feelings you harbour for Asher are none of my concern. At the end of the day, you’re the housekeeper’s daughter, adopted by Catherine Blackwood. Lady Blackwood would never tolerate you having those kinds of feelings for Asher.” 

Grace shot to her feet, flushed with anger and embarrassment. “So what? I’d remain unmarried for life for him! And you–you’ll never have any connection with him again!” 

Thalia’s heart trembled, a flash of desolation crossing her eyes. 

“Then I wish you success,” Thalia lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions and began gathering her things from the 

desk. 

“What are you doing?” Grace asked. 

Thalia ignored her. 

She quickly stood up, opened the office door, and walked out. 

Outside the head partner’s office. 

Thalia knocked gently. 

“Come in.” 

Thalia got straight to the point: “Sir, I’d like to resign.” 

The head partner was stunned. “What’s happened? Why resign on your first day back after the holiday?” 

During their recent business trip to St. Andrews, Thalia had casually made a bet and secured a ten–year representation and legal advisory contract with Caresol Group. The head partner now saw her as a golden goose, and he was certainly not inclined to let her go easily. 

Thalia was forthright. “Grace Bennett and I have personal issues. I refuse to work for her.” 

Solicitors at firms like theirs might appear prestigious, but they were still employees working for the firm. 

For every case they handled, the firm took a percentage, which was ultimately distributed as dividends to partners 

and investors.

So no matter how many cases Thalia handled, she remained an employee. 

Previously, she hadn’t minded this arrangement, as she had joined the firm to gain experience. But now things were different. With Grace as one of the owners, every case Thalia handled would essentially mean working for Grace. Given Grace’s nature, she would certainly cause problems for Thalia. 

She didn’t want to remain and make herself miserable. 

When the head partner heard about the conflict between Thalia and Grace, he was immediately distressed. 

Grace had invested eight million pounds. Having such a wealthy partner made him giddy with delight. 

Moreover, as the Blackwood adopted daughter, Grace could potentially connect the firm to the Blackwood family. This could not only secure Sinclair & Klein’s position as the top firm in London but perhaps even help them compete nationally. 

But Thalia had just secured the largest contract in the firm’s history, and he was extremely reluctant to let her go. 

“Sir, there’s no need to deliberate. My mind is made up. I’ll hand over my cases to colleagues in the next few days.” 

“Thalia, won’t you reconsider? Sinclair & Klein is London’s leading firm. Our compensation and career prospects far exceed other firms. You’ll find it difficult to secure a position of this calibre elsewhere.” 

Thalia shook her head gently. “My decision is final.”
