Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 131

“I haven’t had time to notify anyone yet,” Asher replied, glancing at his watch. “It’s getting late. I need to grab these documents and leave immediately.”

Lady Blackwood’s brow creased with displeasure, her tone taking on a reproachful quality. “Stay for dinner and go afterwards. If there’s any problem, I’ll handle the consequences.”

“That’s hardly appropriate,” Asher maintained his air of indifference. “You alone can’t represent the company. Just wait–you’ll be receiving a call about an emergency board meeting any minute now.”

With that, Asher left everyone in the hall and went upstairs, completely disregarding the gathering.

Downstairs, the Fitzgerald family exchanged bewildered looks.

Professor Fitzgerald was the first to speak: “Lady Blackwood, does your grandson not know that today’s dinner was arranged for him to formally meet Alice?”

Though Professor Fitzgerald was two years older than Lady Blackwood, he still addressed her respectfully as “Lady Blackwood” given her status and position.

His question was diplomatically phrased.

Camilla, however, made no attempt to hide her displeasure. “Lady Blackwood, what exactly does this mean? Alice was standing right in front of him, and he didn’t even greet her. Is he pretending not to know what this dinner

signifies, or is he genuinely unaware?”

Grace lowered her head to conceal the mockery in her eyes, thinking to herself: Who does your granddaughter think she is, expecting my brother to acknowledge her? So desperate to get married, are you?

Lady Blackwood, publicly slighted by her grandson, was certainly displeased. However, facing the Fitzgeralds‘ questioning, she maintained a forced smile. “You misunderstand. My grandson was likely in such a hurry to retrieve something from the study that he forgot to greet everyone. When he comes back downstairs, I’ll formally

introduce Alice to him.”

Camilla was about to say more, but her husband silenced her with a look.

Grace, seated beside Lady Blackwood, inadvertently met Alice’s gaze.

Alice offered a polite smile.

Grace, consumed with jealousy, couldn’t be bothered to reciprocate and coldly averted her eyes.

Alice’s smile became strained, not understanding why the Blackwood adopted daughter seemed to harbor such inexplicable hostility toward her.
