Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 2

Drake instinctively shrugged off the woman’s hand from his arm. She stiffened at his reaction.

“Celine and I are friends too. Is it so strange that I’m at her birthday party?” Thalia’s smile didn’t reach

her eyes.

“No, I just thought you didn’t like these kinds of events, so I didn’t mention it,” Drake said.

Thalia laughed inwardly. Was that really the reason? Or did he deliberately keep quiet so he could bring

someone else?

Drake’s eyes swept the room coldly, as if demanding to know who had invited her.

Celine avoided his gaze, pretending she had nothing to do with it.

“Hi, you must be Thalia. I’m Sienna. Drake must have mentioned me?” The woman who arrived with Drake stepped forward.

smile.

Sienna studied her with a knowing look. “Has anyone ever told you we look alike?”

Drake’s expression darkened instantly.

Thalia caught his reaction with bitter amusement. She turned back to meet Sienna’s slightly challenging

gaze.

The onlookers froze. This wasn’t the sweet, accommodating Thalia they knew. Where did this fire come from?

Sensing the tension, Celine quickly intervened. “Come on, everyone, let’s sit down.”
