Thalia’s words had planted a seed of doubt in Sienna’s mind.

After leaving the law firm, Sienna made inquiries among her social dirde, only to discover that Ashcroft Group was indeed in serious trouble,

Apparently, the company’s largest shareholder had already liquidated their shares, leaving Drake to handle what had become a complete mess.

Sienna frowned.

No wonder Drake had been so busy lately, always looking exhausted as if he hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep in

Could Ashcroft Group survive this crisis?

If the Ashcroft family truly went bankrupt, wouldn’t marrying Drake be like jumping into a fire pit?

Upon arriving at the venue, she was surprised to see Asher there.

He typically wouldn’t attend such events in person, usually sending an assistant to handle any bidding on his behalf.

Thalia hadn’t expected to encounter him here.

Dressed in a black shirt and trousers, Asher exuded an aura of cool elegance. A crowd had gathered around him, everyone eager to engage him in conversation.

The Blackwood heir was always the center of attention wherever he went.

Thalia merely glanced at him briefly before looking away.

Asher spotted Thalia and immediately made his way through the crowd toward her.

As Rupert approached to greet them, Asher’s expression immediately darkened. “What are you doing here?”

Rupert similed courteously. “What a small world.”

Thalia nodded. “You two carry on. I’ll head inside.”

Rupert quickly said, “I’ll join you.”

Asher gave a cold snort and followed Thalia into the main auction hall.

The auction began shortly.
