"Trump Ashcroft, you heartless bastard! Your wife gets slapped around and you just stand there watching? Let go of me! Don't you dare touch me!" Trump said impatiently, "Just stop, will you? You're making a scene. Let's go home." "What the hell happened?" Drake emerged from the restroom, looking completely confused. "Mom, what happened to your face?" "That bitch Thalia Winters attacked me!" Trump shot his son a dark look. "Drake, get your mother out of ---- here. She's embarrassing herself." Drake's brows knitted together.

"Mom, I get that you're upset about losing, but you can't just attack people," Drake said, looking disappointed. "Thalia's Dad's lawyer-she's just doing what he's paying her for. You can't take your frustration out on her." "Oh, that's just perfect! Now you're taking that bitch's side?" Margaret's eyes were red with fury. "I'm your mother! Yet here you are, defending her! Do I even matter to you anymore?" Drake finally lost his patience. "You think I don't respect you as my mother? That's rich! It's precisely because I listened to you too much that I got tangled up with Sienna and lost Thalia in the first place." ---- "So this is my fault now?" Margaret spat. Drake laughed bitterly.

The receptionist greeted Thalia with a smile. "Hey, Ms. Winters! Ms. Schulz has been camping out in your office." Thalia paused mid-step. "Lucia's here?" The receptionist nodded. "Yeah, been waiting almost an hour. I told her you were in court, but she said she didn't mind waiting." Thalia nodded and continued inside. Lucia was sprawled on the sofa, flipping idly through a legal journal. Seeing Thalia return, she tossed the magazine aside. "About tyou showed up." ---- Thalia set down her bag, walked over, and settled on the sofa. "What brings you by, Ms. Schulz?" Thalia pulled out spremium tea leaves, put on water to boil, and started preparing tea. Lucia smiled. "I brought you something." She picked up a box from beside her. "To thank you for literally saving my life, I had this pink diamond necklace custom-made for you. The design process took a while, which is why I'm only giving it to you now.
What do you think?" Lucia opened the box to reveal the pink diamond necklace. Thalia glanced at it casually, then did a double-take. The pink diamond was enormous-around 25 carats-a stunning teardrop-shaped fancy pink that caught the light in dazzling ways. The necklace itself was a cascade of colorless diamonds linked together, creating an extravagant piece so breathtaking it demanded attention. ---- "Ms. Schulz, this is way too expensive.

You literally saved my life! Think about it-my life is worth way more than snecklace.
You saved me, so the least I can do is give you something nice." Thalia shook her head firmly really can't accept this." Lucia pouted. "So what you're saying is my life isn't even worth anecklace to you?" ".." Thalia smiled helplessly. "You know that's not what I meant." "Then take it."
