Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 117 Chapter 117 The next day-New Year's Day.

Thalia returned to the Winters Estate for a visit.

Victoria and Randolph were both there.

As soon as Thalia entered. Victoria greeted her with a smile. "Thalia, you're back! We're just about damn for lunch. Freshen up first?" Thalia had been hungover from the previous night and hadn't woken until eleven that morning. She'd quickly showered, changed, and driven home, arriving just in tfor lunch.

Lucy crunning over in her little leather shoes and hugged Thalia's legs. “Thalia!” Thalia smiled warmly as she pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift from her bag and handed it to Lucy. "Lucy, Happy New Year, darling." The little girl accepted the gift with a sweet smile and planted a noisy kiss on Thalia's cheek.

Randolph handed her a gift bag. "Your New Year's present. Open it and see." Thalia took it, puzzled, and looked inside.

It contained a key and property documents.

Randolph spoke matter-of-factly: "Thalia, this flat is very close to Sinclair & Klein-convenient for work. I know you young people enjoy your New Year celebrations. This is my New Year's gift to you. The car was Victoria's choice-it's in the garage. After lunch, you can go and have a look." Thalia's eyes warmed with emotion, a wave of gratitude washing over her. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Victoria." She accepted their thoughtful gift with genuine appreciation.

After lunch, Thalia casually checked her phone and noticed a Whatfriend request.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

She instinctively held her breath as she opened it, only for disappointment to flood through her.

It wasn't from Asher.

Drake, whom she had long since blocked and deleted, had created a new account to contact her.

Thalia called Mary, the housekeeper from Pan Peninsula, asking her to throw away all her belongings from ther place.

Upon receiving the call, Mary agreed verbally while her eyes darted nervously toward the man sing on the sola After hanging up, Mary cautiously spoke: "Mr. Blackwood, Miss Winters has askedto throw away all her things..." The man's voice was heavy with exhaustion. “Don't throw anything away. Keep everything exactly as it is. Her room should be cleaned daily. She'll cback eventually." "But I..." Mary hesitated, unsure how to continue.

She had been hired by Asher specifically to cook for Thalia. Now that Thalia was gone, who would she be cooking for? Was she about to lose her job? Asher was silent for a moment before speaking. "She's moved to a new place. I wonder if the housekeeper there cooks to her taste." Fifteen minutes later.

Thalia received another call from Mary.

"Miss Winters, Mr. Blackwood has dismissed me, and I'm now without work. Might you need a cook at your new place?" Thalia was momentarily startled before quickly understanding the situation.

The flat is close to her firm, so you'll need to deliver lunch to Sinclair & Klein on workdays. I'll continue paying your salary, but don't refuse if she offers to pay you as well. And don't tell her I sent you." When Mary realized she would be receiving double wages, her face lit up with delight. “Yes, of course, Mr. Blackwood. Don't worry-I'll take excellent care of Miss Winters." After New Year's Day, Asher threw himself into work at Blackwood Industries, keeping frantically busy.

He didn't dare allow himself a moment's pause-the instant he had even a second of free time, Thalia's face would inevitably appear in his mind.

In the CEO's office, Asher sat at his computer, deeply engrossed in work.

Sebastian lounged on the sofa, regarding Asher with a complicated expression. “Mate, there's something I'm not sure whether I should mention." Asher didn't even look up, his tone indifferent. "Then don't." Sebastian opened and closed his mouth several times. "It concerns Lia. Are you certain you don't want to hear it?" Asher's typing hands faltered momentarily as he looked up from the computer screen. "What is it?" Sebastian thought to himself: I knew it.
