“It’s over, Lia,” Asher’s voice was deep and slightly hoarse. “Malfoy is dead. It’s all over.”

Thalia’s heart suddenly raced. “Are you… are you alright?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

Thalia exhaled with relief.

Thalia didn’t respond, simply ending the call.

Her mind was in turmoil.

The Malfoy situation might be resolved, but what about Lady Blackwood?

And Randolph now had strong negative feelings toward the Blackwood family.

She herself couldn’t simply ignore the pain she had suffered and start over with Asher.

Thus, Margret remained blissfully unaware. Despite the company being on the brink of disaster, she continued to play the role of wealthy socialite, bedecked in jewelry and radiating happiness.
