Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 13

The night before court, Thalia heard something break while showering.

She quickly rinsed off, threw on her robe, and rushed out.

The bedroom was empty, but porcelain shards littered the floor.

Her heart stopped–it was the ceramic figurine her mother had left her.

They’d painted it together at a pottery studio on her twelfth birthday. A pale blue puppy, with their names etched on the back.

Seeing it shattered, rage consumed her.

“Who did this?!” she shouted, storming out.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” She pounded on Drake’s door across the hall.

“Drake! Sienna! Which one of you was in my room?”

Drake opened the door, irritation clear. “What’s with the noise? People are trying to sleep.”

Thalia’s chest heaved with fury, her eyes murderous. “Were you in my room?”

“Why would I be in your room?” Drake frowned. “Stop making scenes. I’ve been reviewing contracts.”

Drake followed, concerned by her intensity.

“Sienna! Open up!” Thalia kicked the door.

Drake stared. Was this really his usually gentle Thalia?

What had happened to make her this angry?

Sienna opened the door lazily. “Having a breakdown?”

Thalia grabbed Sienna’s wrist, dragging her toward the bedroom.
