Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 7

Thalia took a seat in the armchair opposite Caroline, meeting her gaze with quiet composure. “I never wanted to marry into the Ashcroft family.”

Caroline didn’t believe it for a second.

She studied Thalia carefully.

So this was the girl her son had been dating for three years.

Pretty enough, she had to admit, and carried herself well. Despite her middle–class background, she didn’t have that obvious social–climbing desperation Caroline was used to seeing.

Caroline had deliberately thrown that barb earlier, hoping to see her squirm. But the girl hadn’t flinched, maintaining her poise and speaking with surprising confidence.

Not that it mattered.

Just another gold–digger with delusions of grandeur, no matter how well she played it off.

“No need to pretend with me,” Caroline’s voice dripped with condescension. “I’m a woman too–I know exactly what you’re thinking. Drake’s quite the catch, isn’t he? A trust fund baby who’s been bankrolling your lifestyle. Must be nice.”

“I don’t want his money,” Thalia replied.

Caroline’s laugh was cold. “Please. You social climbers are all the same. Playing hard to get while taking everything you can. Why else would you be with Drake?”

“Mrs. Ashcroft, are you suggesting your son has nothing to offer except his trust fund?”

“How dare you!” Caroline’s perfectly controlled breathing hitched. “Such insolence! Drake said you were sweet and accommodating. Clearly, he was mistaken.”

Thalia calmly sipped her tea.

“And no manners,” Caroline sneered. “Not even offering tea to your elder.”
