Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 

In Randolph’s hospital room. 

The Blackwood staff carefully arranged the expensive gifts, nutritional supplements, and fruit before quietly withdrawing from the room. 

The space around Randolph’s bed was crowded with visitors. 

Every member of the Blackwood family was present, except for the elderly Lady Blackwood who was confined to bed with a winter cold. 

Lord Blackwood Sr. spoke first: “Randolph, when I heard of your injury, I immediately requested leave from Westminster to come to London personally. I do hope you make a swift recovery.” 

Lord Blackwood Sr. held considerable influence in political circles; even London’s highest officials would treat him with profound respect. 

Though a man of great authority and senior standing, he addressed Randolph with remarkable courtesy, showing none of the condescension one might expect. Randolph was visibly moved by this deference. 

He pushed himself up against the headboard, his expression somewhat anxious. “You’re too kind, sir. My injuries are relatively minor–you needn’t have troubled yourself.” 

Andrew Blackwood spoke up: “Randolph, please accept this small token of our concern.” 

He stepped forward, presenting a bank card. 

With Lord Blackwood Sr. having set such a conciliatory tone, Randolph could hardly express any grievances he might harbor. He accepted the card with a smile. “I appreciate this. Thank you.” 

“Not at all,” Andrew replied courteously. 

“Randolph,” Lord Blackwood Sr. continued, having noted Randolph’s acceptance of their compensation, “there’s another matter that brought me to London.” 

Randolph had already anticipated this discussion. He composed himself, listening attentively. 

“Your injury was no accident, as I’m sure you’re aware. Has Asher mentioned to you about Andrew’s…” 

Lord Blackwood Sr. hesitated, having nearly said “illegitimate son,” but stopped himself–the term seemed excessively harsh. 

After a brief pause, he continued: “Has he mentioned Andrew’s other son, Tom Malfoy?”

Randolph’s expression darkened slightly as he nodded. 

“Malfoy’s target is the Blackwood family. You’ve been caught in the crossfire because of Thalia’s engagement to Asher. After careful consideration, we believe it best to dissolve the engagement.” 

Victoria, Randolph’s second wife, standing nearby, looked somewhat surprised by this direct statement. 

Randolph had discussed the possibility of ending the engagement with her the previous evening, but had been reluctant to broach the subject first, given Lord Blackwood Sr.’s considerable influence. 

It was fortuitous that the Blackwood patriarch himself had raised the matter. 

From the moment the Blackwood family had entered the room, Randolph had been mentally prepared for this conversation. He wasn’t particularly surprised by Lord Blackwood Sr.’s declaration. 

He nodded slightly. “Very well. Since you’ve raised the matter so directly, I’ll be equally forthright. I had been considering this myself. You must understand, our family has paid a tremendously high price for this engagement 

thus far.” 

The patriarch’s expression reflected genuine regret. “I understand completely.” 

Andrew added: “Randolph, the Blackwood family deeply regrets the harm that has come to your family. We suggest that the public announcement come from the Winters family–we’ll prepare the press statement and assume all responsibility for the dissolution.” 

Andrew’s wife handed Randolph a document. “We’ve drafted this statement regarding the broken engagement. Please review it and suggest any additions you feel necessary.” 

“Of course.” Randolph accepted the document and began reading through it. 

After a moment, he closed the file. “This seems comprehensive. It will suffice.” 

Lady Blackwood nodded. “Excellent. I recommend issuing it as soon as possible. Each day’s delay places your family 

at continued risk.” 

Randolph agreed with a nod, then turned his gaze meaningfully toward Asher. “Asher, have you discussed this with 

Thalia?” 

“Yes,” Asher replied, his Adam’s apple shifting visibly as he swallowed. “Sir, to ensure Thalia doesn’t harbor any false hopes, I told her I’d had a change of heart. I would appreciate your discretion in maintaining this narrative 

rather than revealing the true circumstances.” 

Randolph solemnly agreed. 

“Well, Randolph, we’ll leave you to rest now,” Lord Blackwood Sr. said.
