Thalia frowned, her cool gaze sweeping over Grace, who was being forced to how her head. She turned to ask the cold–faced Asher, “What did you mean by ‘blood on her hands‘?”

Asher didn’t want to tell Thalia about Grace helping Tom Malfoy commit murder.

Thalia had been so worried about the Mark and Teresa Bormen siblings, with whom she had no relation, that she couldn’t eat or sleep properly. If she knew those innocent, pitiful people had died brutally at Tom Malfoy’s hands, she would certainly be distressed for a long time.

“That’s not necessary. I’ll drive there myself.”

“That works too. See you tonight, bye–bye Ms. Winters.”

“Goodbye.”
