Chapter 170 Thalia frowned , her cool gaze sweeping over Grace , who was being forced to how her head . She turned to ask the cold - faced Asher , " What did you mean by '' blood on her hands '' ? " Asher didn''t want to tell Thalia about Grace helping Tom Malfoymit murder . Thalia had been so worried about the Mark and Teresa Bormen siblings , with whom she had no rtion, that she couldn''t eat or sleep properly .


    If she knew those innocent , pitiful people had died brutally at Tom Malfoy''s hands , she would certainly be distressed for a long time . He replied calmly , " The Vanessa situation . " " Oh , " Thalia lowered her eyshes , feeling that things weren''t quite that simple . That day , Grace was expelled from the ckwood family . Asher handed her over to the police . Grace was formally arrested . In Russia . Tom Malfoy''s subordinate , Jerry , hung up the phone , his expression grave .


    " Boss , Grace Bet has been handed over to the police by Asher ckwood . She sent someone to pass along a message hoping you could save her . " Tom Malfoy smiled indifferently and asked Jerry , " Would you waste energy saving something useless ? " Jerry lowered his head and eyes , replying , " I understand , Boss . " Tom Malfoy asked again , " How''s the situation with Anthony Garret ? " " We''ve given him what Grace provided . " " Good .


    " Tom Malfoy gently swirled his wine ss , a smile curling at his lips . " The show is about to begin . " Saturday morning . Amanda Lysander called specifically to remind Thalia . 99.4% Chapter 170 " Ms. Winters , I got your number from Rupert . You remember agreeing to have dinner together tonight ? " Amanda asked in a gentle tone . Thalia replied , " Of course . " Amanda breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile , " I''ve booked a private room at Xiangyuan Grand Restaurant for 7 p.m.


    Let me have Rupert pick you up . " " That''s not necessary . I''ll drive there myself . " " That works too . See you tonight , bye - bye Ms. Winters . " " Goodbye . " At six in the afternoon , Thalia changed clothes , preparing to go out . She didn''t dress up specially , just applied light makeup . She wore a creamy white long dress with a beige coat over it . Her wavy hair fell casually over her shoulders , giving her a gentle , elegant appearance .


    When she arrived at the restaurant , Thalia parked in the open - air car park below . Just as she reached the entrance , she met Amanda walking out of the restaurant . Amanda was holding Lena''s hand . Upon seeing Thalia , her face immediately lit up with a smile as she warmly said , " Ms. Winters , I was just thinking you''d be arriving soon , so I popped down to check . What perfect timing ! " " Lena , say hello to thedy , " Amanda said to her daughter .


    Little Lena looked up at Thalia with a sweet smile , her eyes crinkling as she greeted her , " Good evening , Miss Thalia . " Thalia smiled warmly and handed Lena a pink bag tied with a ribbon . " Good evening, Lena . This is a little something for you . " Amanda was slightly surprised and quickly waved her hands . " Oh goodness , you shouldn''t have ! I invited you to dinner to thank you . Your presence is enough - you didn''t need to bring a gift . " Thalia smiled . " It''s just for the child .


    Lena is so adorable . My sister is about her age , and when I look at Lena , it''s like seeing my own sister . It''s just a small gift , really . " Amanda''s gaze swept over the bag in Lena''s hand . The logo printed on the bag was PRADA . Curious as children are , Lena immediately took out what was inside . It was a pair of beautiful hairpins - pink with a circle of sparkling pink rhinestones around them . The little girl''s eyes instantly lit up when she saw the hairpins .


    She smiled brightly and said , " Wow , thank you , Miss Chapter 170 Thalia ! The hairpins are so pretty . I love them . " Amanda''s lips curved into a smile . " You really shouldn''t have gone to the trouble , Ms. Winters . This is too kind . " " As long as she likes them . " Although Amanda had invited her to dinner as a thank you , Thalia felt ufortable going empty - handed , so she had bought a pair of hairpins . Children loved these pink , sparkly little hairpins . " Ms.


    Winters , let me take you upstairs , " Amanda said with a smile . " All right . " The private room was on the third floor . Thalia followed Amanda into the lift . As the lift doors closed , Lena held up the hairpins to Amanda and asked , " Mummy , can you put these on for me ? " " You silly thing . " Amanda smiled helplessly , took the pair of hairpins , and ced them on either side of the little girl''s head . " They look lovely , " Thaliaplimented .


    Amanda said , " Thank you so much , Ms. Winters . " " It''s nothing , really . " By the time they''d exchanged these few words , the lift had reached the third floor . Amanda led Thalia to the private room . When she opened the door and saw the people inside , Thalia was momentarily surprised . Four people were seated inside . Rupert stood up to greet her with a smile . " Good evening , partner . " '' Amanda teasingly said , " Why so formal ?


    You''re close enough to call her Thalia - sounds much nicer . " Then , turning to Thalia, Amanda said , " Rupert happened to be in the area on business and hadn''t had dinner yet , so I invited him to join us . You don''t mind , do you , Ms. Winters ? " Thalia shook her head . " Not at all . " Besides Rupert , there was an elderly couple with kind faces and a middle - aged man in a suit with a refined 09 60 % Chapter 176 demeanor . " Hello , Ms. Winters . I''m Anthony Garret , Lena''s father .


    Thank you so much for helping us find our little girl when she was lost , " the middle - aged man rose to greet her . Thalia understood . So this was Amanda''s husband , Lena''s father , and Rupert''s uncle by marriage . Thalia politely responded , " Hello , Mr. Garret . " After Anthony spoke , the elderly gentleman expressed his gratitude : " Ms. Winters , we''re truly thankful for what you did . If not for you , our Lena might have been taken by traffickers .


    " Judging by his age , this gentleman must be Rupert''s grandfather . Thalia replied , " You''re too kind , sir . It was nothing , really . " " Ms. Winters , don''t just stand there . Please , sit down , " Rupert''s grandfather said with a warm smile . " Thank you , " Thalia pulled out a chair and sat down . The table in the private room wasrge , with seating for ten . Including little Lena , there were seven people in the room . Three seats remained empty .


    Thalia''s seat had empty chairs on both sides . Amanda gave Rupert a meaningful look , suggesting he should move to sit beside Thalia . Rupert shook his head slightly , looking somewhat helpless . Thalia noticed the strange atmosphere between them and turned to ask , " Is something wrong , Rupert ? " They were ustomed to addressing each other professionally .


    Rupert adjusted his sses and replied normally , " No , my aunt was suggesting we sit together to discuss work , which I was thinking as well . Would you mind , Ms. Winters ? " Thalia smiled and said , " Having such a responsible partner as Rupert makes me happy . Why would I mind ? I actually wanted to discuss some aspects of the Sr case with you . " Rupert stood up and moved to sit beside Thalia . " Great , we can talk at our leisure .


    " Amanda watched from the side with an aunt''s knowing smile .
