Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

Chapter 169 Many of Grace Bennett's previous actions had been directed at Thalia Winters . So today , Asher had specifically summoned Thalia to attend . In the Blackwood family's grand hall . Lady Blackwood , hearing that her grandson had an important announcement to make and guessing it concerned Grace , had rushed back from the convalescent home . Andrew Blackwood had also abandoned his work and hurried back . The entire family sat on sofas in the great hall , the atmosphere tense .

Lady Blackwood noticed Thalia sitting on the sofa and showed her displeasure . Feigning ignorance , she asked , " Asher , what's all this about ? " All eyes turned to Asher . Asher's expression was extremely calm . Unhurriedly , he took out his phone , made a call , and said coldly , " Bring her in . " Hanging up , Asher said dispassionately , " You'll find out shortly , Grandmother . " Lady Blackwood's eyes darted anxiously back and forth . Five minutes later , Lucas brought Grace in .

Lady Blackwood was momentarily stunned , then tremblingly approached , looking utterly disappointed as she exclaimed , " Grace , what on earth were you thinking , child ! " Grace looked ghastly - her face pale , lips cracked and dry , eyes sunken with dark circles beneath them . She appeared haggard and emaciated , like someone at death's door . Lady Blackwood felt a pang of sympathy . She hesitated , then asked , " Grace , dear , what have you been through ?

How did you end up in such a dreadful state ? " " Grandmother … " Grace called out tearfully , looking pitiful and wronged . Lady Blackwood's heart trembled at the sound . After all , this was a child raised under her care . Though Grace had made mistakes , Lady Blackwood couldn't bear to see her in such a state . 16:49 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.8 % Chapter 169 Lady Blackwood only knew that Grace had worked for Tom Malfoy , but wasn't clear on the specifics .

She didn't know that Grace had deliberately instructed Drake Ashcroft to call the police , hoping Tom Malfoy would kill Thalia . She didn't know that on the day of the engagement ceremony , Vanessa had kidnapped Lucy under Grace's threats . She didn't know that the knife wound Asher sustained at the engagement ceremony was related to her precious granddaughter Grace . In her view , Grace had merely been manipulated by Tom Malfoy and led astray - a mistake that could still be remedied .

But in reality , Vanessa was already dead . Vanessa's father , bodyguard Aaron , and Aaron's mother had all been silenced by Tom Malfoy's people . Grace was implicated , to varying degrees , in all these deaths . Nothing could make up for that . Asher spoke coldly : " Grace Bennett , in front of the entire family today , I formally announce your expulsion from the family . From now on , you have no connection whatsoever to the Blackwood family ." Grace's eyes widened , her lips trembling .

Lady Blackwood frowned , her expression displeased as she sharply called out , " Asher ! " Asher ignored her , his gaze fixed directly on Grace , his eyes sharp and cold . " And kneel down . Apologize to Lia . " The man's deep eyes gleamed with an intimidating coldness , his presence overwhelming . Grace paled , looking pitifully toward Lady Blackwood , crying in a way designed to evoke sympathy .

" Grandmother … " The elderly woman , feeling sorry for Grace , looked at Asher with mild reproach . " Asher , it was wrong of Grace to work for Tom Malfoy . I can discipline her according to family tradition , but isn't throwing her out of the family rather extreme ? " Hearing this , Thalia curled her lips slightly , a flicker of mockery in her eyes , but said nothing . Andrew , who knew all the inside details , held Lady Blackwood back and said gravely , " Mother , please, that's enough .

" Lady Blackwood had heart problems , and the family had concealed Grace's involvement in murder to avoid upsetting her further . Asher was growing impatient , his features sharp with coldness . " Grace Bennett , I told you to kneel and apologize to Lia . Are you deaf ? " " How can a Blackwood daughter kneel to anyone ? " Lady Blackwood's chest heaved slightly with anger , her nostrils flaring . " Asher , I've already said I'll handle her discipline . Why are you being so hard on Grace ?

Whatever she's done , she's still your sister ! " 16:49 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.9 % Chapter 169 " Sister ? " Asher laughed coldly . " She's no longer a member of our family , " Lady Blackwood grew increasingly angry , raising her voice to demand , " Asher , how can you be so bloody heartless ? Didn't you used to dote on Grace ? Why are you now determined to cast her out ? " Asher narrowed his eyes , emanating an icy , intimidating aura .

" Grandmother , Grace harbours inappropriate feelings for her brother , has committed serious crimes , and has blood on her hands . Why do you still feel sympathy for such a person ? " Asher's shocking statement caused Lady Blackwood's face to instantly pale . Her eyes widened as she exclaimed , " What on earth ! " Andrew and Catherine looked alarmed , fearing Lady Blackwood might have another heart attack . Andrew intervened to stop Asher from continuing , " Asher , that's enough .

Someone , help Lady Blackwood to her room to rest . " Catherine had only heard that Grace had done bad things behind their backs and was entangled with Tom Malfoy , Andrew's illegitimate son . This was the first she'd heard about " inappropriate feelings for her brother " and " blood on her hands . " She was momentarily speechless with shock . Catherine was visibly shaken . What … what did this mean ? Grace harbored inappropriate feelings for Asher ? The servants supported Lady Blackwood .

" My Lady , let me help you to your room . " " Let go of me ! I'm perfectly fine ! Asher , explain yourself - what do you mean by ' inappropriate feelings ' and ' blood on her hands " ? " Catherine also looked at Grace with disbelief , her tone serious . " What on earth is going on ? " Grace's face turned ashen white , her lips as pale as paper , her whole body trembling uncontrollably . " I … I … " Asher maintained his cold expression and said icily , " Exactly what it sounds like .

" Thalia hadn't expected Asher to expose Grace's feelings in front of the entire family . Lady Blackwood clearly couldn't handle this shock . Clutching her chest , she looked at Grace with bitter disappointment . " Did you truly harbour inappropriate feelings for your brother ? Did you really get involved in murder ? You … you … " Grace wanted to deny it , but she couldn't . She couldn't bring herself to say she didn't love Asher , nor could she deny her involvement in the killings .noveldrama

16:50 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 99.1 % Chapter 169 Seeing Grace's silence , Catherine was too angry to speak , just glaring hatefully at her . Andrew let out a deep sigh . " Asher , let's not talk about this now . Your grandmother's health isn't good ; don't upset her . " " Apologize to Lia . " Asher was growing impatient , his eyes becoming even colder . " No ! I won't ! Why should I apologize to Thalia Winters ? I've done nothing wrong !

" Grace's voice was hoarse , her face streaked with tears , still refusing to apologize . Tear - stained , she cried out in anguish , completely disregarding propriety , " Why ? Why can't I love you ? We grew up together with no blood relation - why can't you see me ? Is it so wrong that I love you ? " " SLAP ! " A crisp , loud slap suddenly rang out . Catherine had stood up and slapped Grace , shouting angrily , " That's enough !

" Grace's face was forced to one side , the handprint clearly visible on her cheek . " Stop this rubbish at once ! " Catherine glared at Grace , her face livid . " Asher is your brother ! He can only ever be your brother . Even if you were no longer a Blackwood daughter in name , even if you left the family , there could never be anything between you and Asher ! " Grace gave a cold laugh . " Oh please , do you think I give a toss about you adopting me ?

" She raised her head , staring hard at Catherine . " If it weren't for you , I wouldn't have become his sister . Did you ever ask what I wanted when you adopted me ? I never wanted to be his bloody sister ! " " She's completely lost it … " Lady Blackwood , shocked by this , clutched her chest , struggling to breathe . " Quick ! Get Lady Blackwood's nitroglycerin ! " Andrew shouted anxiously . The servants hurried to fetch the medication . Asher gave Lucas a look .

Understanding , Lucas kicked the back of Grace's knees . Caught off guard , Grace fell to her knees . Lucas was merciless , placing his foot on Grace's back , forcing her to lie prostrate on the ground , her pale face pressed against the floor - a humiliating posture . Asher sat on the sofa , emanating a cold , unyielding aura . " If you won't apologize , that's fine . Then bow properly to Lia .

" 16:50 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 99.2 % Chapter 169 Lucas understood , grabbing Grace's hair to lift her head off the ground , then forcefully pushing it down again . " THUD ! THUD ! THUD ! " Grace was forced to knock her head against the floor several times . Lady Blackwood , witnessing this absurd scene , nearly stopped breathing and almost expired on the spot . Thankfully , the servants quickly returned with the heart medication .

The elderly woman took the medicine and caught her breath . " Enough . This old woman still wants a few more years of life . Sort out this wretched mess yourselves , " Lady Blackwood said , patting her chest as she left with a servant . ♡ ( 0 )
