Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 129

On the third day of St. Patrick’s celebrations.

Relatives came to visit the Winters estate. Thalia sat in the living room receiving guests, chatting with the older family members.

In the midst of conversation, an aunt with permed hair suddenly asked Randolph, “Brother, whatever happened with that engagement between your family and the Blackwoods?”

Thalia lowered her eyes, sighing inwardly. The inevitable question had finally come.

Randolph maintained his composure. “The children weren’t compatible, so we ended it.”

Another uncle chimed in, “Word has it that Blackwood chap’s got himself involved with some actress. Any truth to

Randolph replied, “I wouldn’t know. He and Thalia have broken their engagement; what he does now is hardly our

with actresses and models, isn’t it?”

Victoria smoothly changed the subject: “That’s a lovely handbag. I spotted it in a magazine recently. It’s a limited edition for the holiday, isn’t it?”

The aunt’s attention immediately shifted to her handbag, her face brightening. “Yes, I fell in love with it at first sight. Gorgeous, isn’t it?”

Victoria smiled. “Absolutely stunning. I was thinking of getting one myself.”

any more are available.”

Victoria replied, “That would be lovely, thank you.”

The subject appeared to have been successfully changed, but the gossipy aunt stubbornly steered the conversation
