Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 149

The statement stunned everyone present.

Andrew’s expression darkened. “Everyone here is family. What exactly are you implying, Asher? Are you suggesting that one of our own leaked information to outsiders to harm you?”

Lady Blackwood also spoke up: “Indeed, Asher. You specifically instructed us not to contact the police before you left. Even if I’m getting on a bit, I’m hardly senile. We didn’t call the police, and we certainly wouldn’t leak information that could endanger your life to outsiders.”

Randolph added: “I can absolutely guarantee that neither Victoria nor I leaked any information. Thalia was still in their hands–leaking information could have cost both your lives. We absolutely wouldn’t take such a risk. Even when Lucy disappeared shortly after you left, we remembered your strict instructions not to involve the police.”

Catherine strongly disagreed with Asher’s accusation. “There must be some misunderstanding here.”

Grace interjected: “That’s right, brother. This must be a misunderstanding. Perhaps one of Thalia’s friends or colleagues accidentally let something slip, and someone with ill intentions overheard and deliberately called the police to sabotage you.”

Grace’s face paled. “Thalia, what on earth are you saying? How could I possibly—”

A sharp, resounding slap interrupted her.

Grace hadn’t finished speaking before Thalia struck her across the face.

The slap was so swift and forceful that Randolph and the Blackwood family were momentarily stunned, clearly caught off guard.

Grace clutched her cheek, her eyes brimming with tears. “Thalia, I know you’ve never liked me, but you can’t just accuse me without evidence…”

As she spoke, Grace turned toward Lady Blackwood. “Grandmother, please, you must stand up for me.”

Lady Blackwood’s expression darkened instantly. “Thalia Winters, how dare you slap Grace in front of all of us! You have absolutely no breeding! Is this how your parents raised you? Resorting to violence at the slightest provocation–some cultured heiress you are! You’re nothing but a common shrew!”

Blackwood, I’ve shown you respect as the Blackwood matriarch, yet you publicly call my daughter a shrew? How bloody dare you! If Thalia is a shrew, what does that make your Grace? At that party, she slandered Thalia, and you immediately took her side without investigating, humiliating my daughter. When Thalia found video evidence, you all refused to watch it.
