The walking embodiment of old money . Today , she matched Katie's description perfectly - startlingly plain .

No makeup , her face drawn and haggard , skin with an unhealthy yellow tinge , dark circles prominent beneath her eyes . She wore a simple gray outfit that could have come from any department store . She looked like any ordinary middle - aged suburban mom , with no trace of her former sophistication . The Ashcroft empire had truly crumbled . Even image - obsessed Margret had been reduced to this state . Thalia felt a flicker of satisfaction . How the mighty had fallen .

She walked deliberately toward Margret . Seeing Thalia , Margret rushed forward , reaching desperately for her arm only to be firmly blocked by Alana . " Thalia , please , " Margret begged , her former arrogance completely evaporated . " You have to help us save Ashcroft Group .

wealthy husband , someone who could never truly belong in their world . Her words had dripped with contempt : " You don't have to pretend with me . I know exactly what you're after . I understand my son is attractive to girls

" Let me make this perfectly clear : the Ashcroft family doesn't welcome just anyone . Marrying Drake ? Not in this lifetime ! " " Sienna is my choice for a daughter - in - law . Her family and ours go back generations , and she was Drake's first love . I suggest you take the hint . Pack your things and
