---- Chapter 221 Drake''s face darkened. "Thalia, you know I''ve only ever loved you Thaliaughed. "Weren''t you the one who enjoyed sneaking around with Sienna behind my back? Didn''t your mother absolutely adore Sienna as a potential daughter-inw? So why didn''t you step up when she got pregnant with your kid?" "You knew about that?" Drake stumbled slightly, panic shing in his eyes. "Thalia, don''t be mad. Let me exin.


    I was wasted that night, and I thought she was you, so I..." "Shut up!" Thalia looked disgusted. "Drake, you''vepletely misunderstood. I only brought this up because I''m enjoying watching your downfall. You all treated me like garbage back then. Now karma''sing around, and everyone''s getting exactly what they deserve. I''m loving every minute of it." "That''s enough, Drake. Get out," Trump said firmly. "Ms.


    Winters and I have actual business to discuss." ---- "Dad..." "I said out!" After finishing her meeting with Trump, Thalia headed downstairs to find Drake still lurking around "Thalia, we need to talk," Drake approached, looking desperate. Thalia responded coldly: "We have absolutely nothing to discuss." "Thalia, I know I don''t deserve to say I love you anymore, but you... "Back off!" Thalia snapped.


    "Keep harassing me and things will get ugly real fast." "Thalia, just listen for one second-" Thalia shot na a look. na immediately shoved Drake away with such force that he ---- nearly fell t on his face. Drake wanted to continue, but one nce at na''s death stare made him freeze in his tracks. Thalia slipped into her car. "Where to next, boss?" na asked. "Back to the office." "Onit." Soon came the day of Trump''s divorce hearing.


    During the trial, Thalia was relentless and razor-sharp, leaving the intiff''swyerpletely outmatched. As expected, the judge ruled against the divorce. After the proceedings ended, outside the courthouse: Trump was beaming. "I can''t thank you enough." ---- Thalia smiled back. "Just doing my job, Mr. Ashcroft. ording to thew, after the court''s first ruling against divorce, if you stay separated for a full year and she files again, the court will grant it. My advice?


    Don''t remain separated from Mrs. Ashcroft." Trump nodded. "I''ll give it a few days to cool off, then move back home." "Smart. Just make sure you don''t hit that one-year mark." "Got it." "Thalia Winters, you conniving bitch!" Margaret stormed over, her face contorted with rage. "Don''t you dare walk away! This isn''t over!" Thalia turned with a frown. Margaret charged forward, hand raised to p Thalia.


    Thalia caught Margaret''s wrist mid-air with her left hand while simultaneously delivering a stinging p to Margaret''s face with her right. ---- CRACK! The sound echoed sharply. Margaret''s cheek instantly med red. "How dare you hit me!" Margaret shrieked. CRACK! Another p, this time with Thalia''s left hand, catching Margaret''s other cheek. "You little-" Before Margaret could finish, CRACK! CRACK! Two more psnded in rapid session.


    Thalia struck with both hands, delivering two sharp blows that left Margaret stunned. For a moment, Margaret was too shocked to react. "Mrs. Ashcroft, I strongly suggest you recognize when you''re outmatched," Thalia''s voice was arctic, her eyes like frozen steel. Both of Margaret''s cheeks were bright red and swelling. Trump stood watching,pletely stunned.
