Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 174 "Yes, of course," Thalia put on a fake smile. “Who am I to turn down paying clients?" Thalia sat down in the single armchair next to Asher. An assistant brought them tea, then quietly left, closing the door behind her.

Thalia curled her lips slightly, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked, "How exactly does Mr. Blackwood propose to work together?" Asher took out two document folders. "These are the cases that need representation." He handed the folders to Thalia.

Thalia accepted them. "The Blackwood Group is such a massive enterprise, and as CEO, you must be incredibly busy. Do you really manage trivial matters like litigation yourself?" Her tone was decidedly sarcastic.

Asher, however, didn't seem to mind. He smiled and replied good-naturedly, "Working with Ms. Winters is hardly a trivial matter." Thalia ignored this comment and expressionlessly opened the folders to examine the contents.

For a major corporation like Blackwood Group, even a single sales contract could involve tens or hundreds of millions in value, with evidence running into thousands of pages or even multiple boxes. Asher couldn't possibly have brought all that evidence with him.

The folders contained consolidated case information, listing various cases that Blackwood Group wanted to entrust to the firm, along with evidence summaries.

Thalia quickly scanned through them.

Blackwood Group had many subsidiaries across various industries, including high-tech, hospitality, and fashion and jewelry.

The materials concisely outlined the types of cases needing representation, the claims sought, and key evidence. Everything was clear and straightforward, obviously having been preliminarily organized.

Each case had comprehensive evidence-contracts, company bank transaction records, chat logs between company staff and counterparties, and various receipts, all preserved in full.

Cases with such complete evidence carried minimal litigation risk and had high chances of success-the kind that all lawyers preferred to handle.

98.39 After looking through the materials, Thalia smiled enigmatically. "Thanks for this, Mr. Blackwood." Asher's gaze rested on Thalia, his eyes containing a subtle smile. "My pleasure, Ms. Winters." Thalia nodded. "TII have my assistant print out the engagement contract. Won't be a moment" "Take your time.” Thalia rose, opened the door, and walked out.

As soon as she left the reception room, she saw everyone gathered around a table in the hall.

Katie saw her and excitedly said, "Ms. Winters, Rupert's treating the entire firm to coffee today. He's so generous-he's even ordered Starbucks!" Thalia smiled and half jokingly said, "Seems I found the right partner after all.” Lucy Jenkins approached her and whispered, "Thalia, I think I just spotted Mr. Blackwood. My eyes weren't playing tricks on me, were they? Is that him in the reception room?" Lucy had been struck by Asher's appearance the first tshe saw him. After witnessing the sweet interactions between Asher and Thalia at the bar, she had bectheir biggest supporter. Later, when Asher helped find a compatible bone marrow donor that saved Teresa Bormen's life, Lucy beceven more grateful to him.

In short, she firmly supported Thalia and Asher as a couple.

Thalia gave a simple "Mm-hmm." Lucy craned her neck to peek at the reception room behind Thalia. "Is Mr. Blackwood here to win you back?" Thalia gave her a sidelong glance and lightly flicked her forehead. "Don't be daft. Mr. Blackwood is here to discuss business." "What kind of business requires the great CEO to cdiscuss in person? Is our firm that prestigious?" Lucy gave Thalia a meaningful smile. "Those who know, know." "Just drink your coffee," Thalia pretended to glare at her as she walked past.

After printing the contract and returning to the reception room, Thalia noticed a Starbucks coffee cup in front of Asher.

It appeared to be from Rupert's coffee treat.

Asher noticed her glance at the coffee and said with a half-smile, "One of your colleagues just brought this in, say Rupert was treating everyone to coffee." The man looked at Thalia, amusement playing at his lips. "There was even a cup for me. How terribly generous of 15-13 Your Gold Divver is Actually A True Heiress 98 Chapter 174 Rupert." "I imagine you're not used to this sort of coffee, Mr. Blackwood," Thalia casually remarked. "If it's not to your taste, don't feel obliged. Leave it for someone who'd appreciate it. No sense wasting it." Asher smiled but said nothing.

"I've printed the contract. Have a look and sign if everything's in order,” Thalia handed Asher a thick stack of A4 papers.

"Right." Asher took the contract and made a phone call. "Cup now." "Right away, sir." Five minutes later, a bespectacled, formally dressed middle-aged man appeared at the law firm.

Asher introduced him: "Legal representative, Martin Clarke." Thalia nodded and politely greeted him: “Hello, Mr. Clarke." "Hello, Ms. Winters." Martin sat down, took out the company seal and a pen from his briefcase, and professionally began signing the contracts.

For each case a law firm handles, two copies of the contract must be signed, with each party keeping one. Asher had entrusted them with so many cases that signing all the contracts would make one's hand cramp.

Thalia's mouth twitched slightly.

Well, well-Asher had specifically brought someone to sign the contracts.

Martin signed the contracts without even glancing at them, his pen moving rapidly across the pages Thalia asked, "Mr. Clarke, don't you want to review these before signing?" "If Mr. Blackwood has approved them, there's certainly no issue," Martin replied without looking up, continuing to sign like an automated machine.

“...” Thalia paused momentarily. "Mr. Blackwood hasn't actually reviewed them either.” Martin suddenly froze, looking up at Asher with a stiff expression. "Sir, this..." "It's fine," Asher smiled. "It's practically our family law firm. Just sign." 98.

Thalia"," Since when were they "family"? Martin's rigid expression suddenly becan en he nodded stopwoody tight you are dir of course After signing and sealing all the contracts, Martin handed them to her "Sir, for signed corything Would you tomotive like to review them?" "Give them to Ms. Winters," Asher instructed caddy.

"Yes, sir." Thalia looked them over. "Everything seems in order. I'll sign our coples and return one set to you Ow Asher handed the Starbucks coffee to Martin, smiling as he said, "Cheers for your help. Have this coffee

Martin appeared utterly honored, quickly accepting the cofise andm repeatedly expressing gratitude. Thank you, sir. Much appreciated, sir." Asher seemed to be in a very good mood, his eyebrow lifting slightly. "Not at all Thalia: "" How generous of you to give away someone else's gift

Thalia finished stamping and signing the contracts, placed them in a m manila envelope and handed it to Martin: As he reached out to take it, Asher snatched it away. Asher smiled and said, “A pleasure doing business with you, Ms. Winters." Thalia's expression remained neutral. "Likewise." Outside the law firm, in the elevator, Martin approached Asher and said, "Sir, lettake those contracts."

Asher's handseyes were dancing with amusement, his mood clearly elevated it has my wife's personal signature on it. Why on earth would I give it to you?" Martin: "..." The joke was on him.
