Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

---- Chapter 263 Justin smiled. "Well, judging by that reaction, I guess you haven't won her over." Rupert kept his expression neutral as he played his tile. "When are you and Daisy planning to get back together?" The moment he asked, Justin's smile instantly froze. "Way to bring up a sore subject," Justin said, his interest visibly deflating. Rupert smiled impeccably. "Learned from the best." Daisy was an intern lawyer Justin had mentored, as well as his ex-girlfriend.

They had dated for over six months. After getting her license, Daisy joined another law firm. Both were usually too busy to go on dates, and they spent less and less time together. Gradually, their feelings faded. Daisy was the one who suggested breaking up, while Justin couldn't let go. ---- He'd been trying to win her back recently, but his efforts seemed futile. After Rupert's question, Justin fell silent.

Lucy and Katie were karaoke queens, both quite good singers who hadn't stopped since sitting down. After a while, Thalia got up to use the bathroom in their suite. The suite had one men's and one women's restroom, but unfortunately, the women's was occupied. Thalia had to go to the bathroom outside the suite. She left the room, walked down the hallway, and entered the ladies' room. After using the bathroom and coming out, as she passed a corner, Thalia was suddenly pulled aside by someone.

The smell of alcohol hit her face. Thalia frowned in disgust as she looked up to see Drake Ashcroft, his face flushed red, clearly drunk, gazing at her ---- with unfocused eyes. She jerked her arm free from Drake's grip and coldly said, "Move." "Thalia, how have you been lately?" Drake stared at her with an almost obsessive look.

Thalia responded coldly, "Much better without your harassment." Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on his lips as he murmured, "Yes, without me, you're doing fine." Seeing that Drake was blocking her path, Thalia impatiently pushed him aside to leave. Drake suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Lia, don't go. Can we just talk a bit more? I've missed you so much." Thalia looked down at his hand gripping her wrist.noveldrama

"Let go." Not only did Drake refuse to release her, but he tightened his grip and even lowered his head, trying to kiss her. ---- 'Thalia turned her head away and slapped him hard across the face. The sound of the slap rang out, leaving a red mark on Drake's cheek. "Drake, don't disgust me!" The slap seemed to sober him up a bit, but he still wouldn't let go of her wrist. Seeing that Drake wouldn't release her, Thalia stopped wasting words.

With her free hand, she delivered a sharp knife-hand strike directly to the bone of Drake's forearm. Thalia used considerable force. Drake winced in pain, his face paling. Reflexively, he released her. Thalia pushed Drake to the side. Already unsteady from drinking, Drake stumbled and nearly fell when Thalia pushed him. Without a second glance, Thalia walked straight past him. "Lia..." Drake called out painfully from behind her.
