Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 144

Thalia was forced up the stairwell of the abandoned construction site by Malfoy’s men.

She suffered from acrophobia, and with each step higher, her legs grew increasingly weak.

The unfinished concrete structure had no handrails on the staircase and no safety barriers on the upper floors.

Thalia climbed slowly, one precarious step at a time, flanked by Malfoy’s thugs.

Silently counting the floors as they ascended, Thalia noted they stopped when they reached the twenty–sixth level.

The man restraining her halted as well.

“What’s the time?” Malfoy asked with languid indifference.

“Seven–forty, boss,” replied the man who had kidnapped Thalia the previous night.

Thalia didn’t know his name.

Upon hearing the response, Malfoy raised an eyebrow slightly, turning his gaze toward Thalia. “Tell me… do you truly believe Asher will sacrifice himself for you? Come alone to die like the lovesick fool he is?”

Thalia pressed her lips together, lowering her eyes.

“Frightened?” Malfoy’s voice was deceptively gentle. “Don’t worry. If you’re so desperate not to part with him, I can arrange for

to be together–a pair of star–crossed lovers meeting their tragic end.”

Thalia kept her head down, maintaining her silence.

Malfoy gave a derisive laugh. Finding her silence tedious, impatience flickered in his eyes.

“I’m speaking to you. Are you bloody deaf?” Malfoy suddenly seized Thalia’s arm, yanking her roughly before shoving her forward with brutal force.

Caught off guard, Thalia stumbled forward, losing her balance. Her body swayed precariously before she crashed hard to the ground.

With her hands bound, she couldn’t maintain her balance or break her fall.
