Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 48

Emma, a quiet, timid girl, had hidden behind Thalia in fear.

When Davenport saw Thalia, he decided she was prettier than Emma. He blocked their path, demanding Thalia’s number and making increasingly vulgar suggestions. Despite the crowds of students passing by, not one stepped forward to help.

Thalia hadn’t learned self–defense yet and was terrified herself. In desperation, she’d bluffed about having a brother in a gang who would make Davenport regret bothering her.

She’d actually called Asher then.

“Remember how you said you’d break the legs of anyone who bothered me? Well, someone is… You need

to come quickly.”

“There’s too many of them for two schoolgirls to handle.”

“Where? Oh, at Westminster School.”

After hanging up, she’d tried intimidating Davenport with increasingly elaborate tales.

“Listen, my brother has over a hundred men under him – all trained fighters, way tougher than your little followers. They’ve never lost a fight. Don’t you dare come closer! Touch one hair on my head and

my brother will destroy you!”

Davenport had swaggered closer. “Oh yeah? Call this brother then. Let’s see if he’s really as tough as you

say.”

“You-” Thalia had puffed up her cheeks in anger, glaring at him. “You’re the one who’s all talk!”

Asher was at university twenty miles away – even if he left immediately after her call, he couldn’t possibly

arrive in time.

Thalia hadn’t actually expected him to come rescue her. The call was just meant to scare Davenport.

But within minutes of her call, the Deputy Head and House Master arrived hurriedly, escorting Davenport and his group away.

Emma later told Thalia that Davenport never returned to school after that day. This incident prompted Thalia to start learning self–defense.
