Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 169

Many of Grace Bennett’s previous actions had been directed at Thalia Winters.

So today, Asher had specifically summoned Thalia to attend.

In the Blackwood family’s grand hall.

Lady Blackwood, hearing that her grandson had an important announcement to make and guessing it concerned Grace, had rushed back from the convalescent home.

Andrew Blackwood had also abandoned his work and hurried back.

The entire family sat on sofas in the great hall, the atmosphere tense.

Lady Blackwood noticed Thalia sitting on the sofa and showed her displeasure. Feigning ignorance, she asked, “Asher, what’s all this about?”

All eyes turned to Asher.

Asher’s expression was extremely calm. Unhurriedly, he took out his phone, made a call, and said coldly, “Bring her

in.”

Hanging up, Asher said dispassionately, “You’ll find out shortly, Grandmother.”

Lady Blackwood’s eyes darted anxiously back and forth.

Five minutes later, Lucas brought Grace in.

Lady Blackwood was momentarily stunned, then tremblingly approached, looking utterly disappointed as she exclaimed, “Grace, what on earth were you thinking, child!”

Grace looked ghastly–her face pale, lips cracked and dry, eyes sunken with dark circles beneath them. She appeared haggard and emaciated, like someone at death’s door.

Lady Blackwood felt a pang of sympathy. She hesitated, then asked, “Grace, dear, what have you been through? How did you end up in such a dreadful state?”

“Grandmother…” Grace called out tearfully, looking pitiful and wronged.

Lady Blackwood’s heart trembled at the sound.

After all, this was a child raised under her care. Though Grace had made mistakes, Lady Blackwood couldn’t bear to see her in such a state.

Lady Blackwood only knew that Grace had worked for Tom Malfoy, but wasn’t clear on the specifics.

She didn’t know that Grace had deliberately instructed Drake Ashcroft to call the police, hoping Tom Malfoy would kill Thalia. She didn’t know that on the day of the engagement ceremony, Vanessa had kidnapped Lucy under Grace’s threats. She didn’t know that the knife wound Asher sustained at the engagement ceremony was related to her precious granddaughter Grace.

In her view, Grace had merely been manipulated by Tom Malfoy and led astray–a mistake that could still be remedied.

But in reality, Vanessa was already dead. Vanessa’s father, bodyguard Aaron, and Aaron’s mother had all been silenced by Tom Malfoy’s people. Grace was implicated, to varying degrees, in all these deaths.
