Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

Chapter 167 Grace fumbled her way over , and by the moonlight streaming through the ventilation port , she could see it was a blanket . It was covered with a thick layer of grime , so blackened that its original color was indistinguishable , and it emitted a nauseating stench - clearly unwashed for ages . " Urgh- " Grace retched involuntarily . She had already vomited several times during the day from seasickness .

Having had nothing to eat , her stomach contained only acid , and her dry heaving produced nothing . Feeling intensely nauseated , she kicked the blanket away in disgust . She had previously lived a life of luxury in the Blackwood household . When had she ever endured such hardship ? Even when her mother was still alive and she was just a housekeeper's daughter , she had never suffered like this . Grace hugged her knees and began to sob quietly .

Her soft cries were drowned out by the sound of the waves . The winter temperature was already low , and being at sea made the nights even colder . She shivered violently , her lips turning purplish - blue , as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze . Finally , she picked up that filthy , stinking blanket . To survive , Grace had no choice but to wrap herself in the foul - smelling covering . After a bumpy journey , Grace finally arrived in Britain .

Having been adrift for several days , unable to eat or sleep properly , she had lost considerable weight . She hadn't bathed for days and emitted a foul odor . Even the men who came to drag her off the ship couldn't help but feel disgusted . " Bloody hell ! She absolutely reeks !

" " Urgh- " 16:49 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 97.6 % Chapter 167 The man grabbed Grace , ripped the tape from her mouth with obvious revulsion , untied the ropes binding her , and threw her into the sea . " Wash yourself , you filthy slag . You stink to high heaven . " The ship was docked at Port of Southampton . Although there were no sharks in these waters , Grace couldn't swim , so being thrown overboard still put her life at risk !

Obviously , the man who tossed her in was unaware of this . Grace flailed in the water , screaming for help . At first , the man thought she was faking it and stood on the shore laughing . " That's it , splash around a bit more . Get properly clean . Don't come back stinking near our boss . " The " boss " he referred to was Lucas , Asher's subordinate . The port where the ship was docked was in Southampton , with early spring temperatures hovering around freezing .

The seawater was bitingly cold . Grace trembled in the water , her lips blue , her limbs starting to spasm uncontrollably . Her lungs had taken in a significant amount of seawater , making breathing increasingly difficult . After struggling for a while , Grace gradually became exhausted . Seeing Grace's cries grow feeble and her body beginning to sink , the spectator started to panic . The man cursed , " Bloody hell ! You actually can't swim? For fuck's sake , now I've got to go in after you ?

" In such cold weather , the man naturally didn't want to jump into the sea to rescue anyone . He scanned his surroundings and spotted an orange life ring hanging nearby . The man grabbed the life ring and threw it into the sea . " Grab this and pull yourself out , you dirty cow ! It's too sodding cold for me to jump in after you ! " The life ring splashed down , but Grace stretched her hand out and lacked the strength to paddle toward it .

Seeing she couldn't reach the life ring and was about to sink , the man cursed under his breath and reluctantly jumped into the sea . He managed to pull her out , but Grace had swallowed a lot of seawater and was suffering from hypothermia . She had lost consciousness . " Christ , she's not dead , is she ? " the man swore . A colleague nearby frowned .

" Mate , when you were told to get her cleaned up , is this really what you took that to 16:49 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 97.8 % Chapter 167 mean ? " The man shivered violently . " You've no idea how bad she stank . I couldn't take it anymore , so I chucked her in the sea . How was I to know she couldn't swim ? Just my bloody luck . I had to go in after her . I'm freezing my bollocks off Take her away and find a doctor to look at her . Don't let her die .

I need to change my clothes , " " Alright , but hurry up . If the boss arrives and you're not here , he'll have your guts for garters . " " Yeah , yeah , I know . " When Grace Bennett next opened her eyes , three hours had passed . As consciousness gradually returned , she swiveled her eyes to survey her surroundings . A dark , cramped space , very similar to the room on the ship . Sensing movement , Grace guessed she was now in a vehicle .

This dark place was likely the trailer of a large goods vehicle . Her clothes were still soaking wet , but she now had a thick blanket covering her - apparently they were worried about her freezing to death . Grace wrapped the blanket tightly around herself , hugging her body , her shoulders trembling as she cried . This journey had been utterly miserable . She no longer resembled a wealthy young lady .

Even without looking in a mirror , she could guess that her current appearance was probably similar to that of a homeless beggar . She sobbed quietly . When she tired of crying , she leaned against the metal wall of the trailer to rest . Despite the blanket covering her , her wet clothes were still bone - chillingly cold , making her shiver as if she were in an ice cave . Grace guessed the lorry was probably heading toward London . In a few more hours , she would likely see Asher .

The lorry finally stopped . Grace was roughly dragged out . She glanced up and recognized the place - it was Asher's compound . 16:49 97.9 % Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress Chapter 167 She had been here before but had never entered . This was a place that no one could enter without Asher's approval , not even the Blackwood family patriarch . Now that she was at Asher's compound , did that mean she would soon see Asher ? This day had finally come .

Grace was thrown into the basement . There was no heating here , no sunlight , just a pervasive chill . Shortly after , Lucas walked in . " Well , well , Miss Bennett , " Lucas narrowed his eyes , his tone cutting like ice . " Led us on quite the merry chase , didn't you ? Made us work for it , I'll give you that . " Grace's body trembled , her teeth chattering . " W - what are you going to do to me ? " Lucas curled his lips into a dangerous smile . " Me ? Nothing at all .

My job was bringing you back - mission accomplished . What happens next is entirely up to the young master . I wouldn't get your hopes up , though . " " Is … is he here ? " Grace bit her lip , a glimmer of hope appearing on her pale face . Seeing her expression , Lucas let out a cold laugh . " Oh , this is rich . Don't tell me you did all this for the young master ? Harbouring some sick little fantasy about him , are we ? " Even at death's door , Grace remained defiant .

" That's none of your bloody business . " " Fair enough , it's not my concern , " Lucas's voice hardened . " But you should be thinking about what's waiting for you now . The young master isn't known for his forgiveness when it comes to traitors . " " That's not true . Asher wouldn't be so cruel to me ! He used to dote on me . Don't try to frighten me . Asher was always so good to me - he wouldn't hurt me ! " Lucas's smile turned predatory . " Should I call you delusional or just plain thick ?noveldrama

The young master was kind to you before because you were the Blackwood family's adopted daughter , his sister in name . But now ? " He stepped closer , his voice dropping to a menacing whisper . " You've been in bed with Tom Malfoy , with blood on your hands . You've made yourself an enemy of the Blackwood family. Do you honestly think the young master will show you an ounce of mercy ? I've seen what he does to people who cross him . Trust me , you don't want to know . " ( 13 ) ( 0 ) 16:49 C
