“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.

Then Asher’s voice came through the phone: “I’m fine.”

Thank goodness for that.

Thalia exhaled with relief.

“I should go now. It’s dinner time,” Thalia said.

“Lia, wait for me,” Asher’s voice was gentle.

Thalia didn’t respond, simply ending the call.

Her mind was in turmoil.

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