Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 66

Thalia lowered her gaze, her eyes moving downward.

Asher was holding her hand, their fingers intertwined. His voice carried a mocking edge: “Reunite? As if Thalia would give such rubbish a second glance now that she’s with me.”

Crude, perhaps, but not untrue.

Thalia smiled demurely, playing along by leaning closer to him, nestling against his side like a contented bird seeking shelter. “Asher’s absolutely right. There’s only room for him in my heart now. Why would I spare a thought for some forgettable mistake from my youth?”

Drake’s smile froze, his expression darkening.

“A forgettable mistake from my youth.” Her words stung.

Was that truly how she saw him? As something so utterly insignificant?

Drake’s hand tightened into a fist at his side as he struggled to control his anger and resentment.

Simultaneously, a flash of jealousy crossed Grace’s eyes, almost imperceptible. She silently gritted her teeth, mentally cursing Thalia a thousand times over.

Victoria jumped in with a deliberately pointed tone: “Well, Miss Bennett, perhaps this explains why your family has such a questionable reputation. Chasing after someone Thalia grew bored with–rather desperate, isn’t it?”

“Who are you calling ‘someone she grew bored with“?” Drake snapped, unable to contain himself any longer.

She couldn’t afford to antagonize the Darwin family.

“I’m talking about you,” Victoria replied coolly, crossing her arms and regarding Drake with open disdain.

“So you’re Drake Ashcroft? Dating you seems to be like having a criminal record for Thalia. Thank goodness she came to her senses and gave you the boot. Otherwise, I might have had to hold a knife to her throat to force her to break things off. Weren’t you back with your ‘perfect ex‘ or whatever? Why not

Drake was practically apoplectic with rage.

As he appeared on the verge of losing control completely and launching into a tirade against Victoria, Grace quickly grabbed his arm. “Come now, let’s all stop arguing. This is just a misunderstanding. It’s my fault entirely–I had no idea Drake and Thalia were previously involved.”

Grace bit her lip lightly, her eyes filling with tears as she looked at her brother, the picture of a wounded.
