NovelBookChapter 265 Chapter 237 The following afternoon. Thalia received a call from her father, Randolph. The moment she saw his non the screen, her heart skipped a beat. Randolph strongly opposed Thalia's relationship with Asher, and she had been keeping their reconciliation secret from him. Seeing his call cthrough, Thalia felt a wave of anxiety. Had her father somehow discovered she and Asher were back together and was calling to confront her? Her heart raced as she stared at the phone.
In that instant, Thalia's mind worked overtime, formulating various explanations. However, when she answered, Randolph's tone was perfectly calm. "Thalia, there's a cocktail reception the day after tomorrow. I'd like you to attend. I want to introduce you to --- sof the company's business partners-potential clients for your law firm." Thalia exhaled in relief. He was just helping her network. "Sure, Dad. What time? Textthe details." On the evening of the reception, Thalia wore an understated black strapless evening gown. The design was conservative-apart from her shoulders and arms, everything was covered. Randolph introduced Thalia to several CEOs who partnered with Winters Group-all of them his contemporaries. Over drinks and conversation, she secured several major cases worth millions in legal fees. After meeting the older executives, Randolph brought Thalia to meet a man around her age.

He just returned from Switzerland and serves as General Manager in their family business," Randolph explained. Timothée wore a dark blue suit, his hair impeccably styled, looking every bit the business executive. He raised his champagne flute in greeting. "We meet again, Ms. Winters." "Hello," Thalia replied, her expression cooling. What was her father doing? Setting her up? Randolph smiled broadly. "You two have met before?" "Once," Timothée answered. "At a dinner Sebastian arranged." "Excellent! You two chat-I have smatters to attend to, Randolph said, promptly making himself scarce. Thalia felt a headache coming on. She'd thought today was purely about networking and finding clients, but it seemed her father had an ulterior motive.
