Chapter 1035: Thaliana Takes a Bullet

Halfway through the meal, Thaliana lifted her wine glass and toasted Tina. “Tina, this toast is on behalf of our family’s Connie. I want to thank you. If you hadn’t taken her out of Ensford back then and mentored her, I can’t imagine what she might have become.” “Now that she’s by your side, working for you, I believe this must be the best arrangement heaven could offer.” Perhaps reminded of her own past, Thaliana’s eyes turned red. Tina stood up as well, her tone calm. “You’re giving me too much credit. Courtney’s achievements are the result of her own hard work. All I did was recognize her potential.” As she spoke, she replaced the wine in her hand with tea, explaining, “I’ve caught a bit of a cold recently, hope you don’t mind.” Thaliana nodded in understanding and waved it off, finishing her own glass of wine in one go. The meal ended harmoniously. Afterward, Tina offered to give Thaliana a ride home.
