“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.”

Thalia exhaled with relief.

She had been terrified that Asher might have been injured while confronting Malfoy in Russia.

“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.

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

“Thalia, dinner’s ready!” Victoria called out, pulling Thalia from her thoughts.

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.
