Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

Thalia didn’t dare consider this possibility. 

Her heart rose to her throat, her fingers trembling slightly. 

It couldn’t be. 

Asher wouldn’t do this! 

He had told her that she was the only one in his heart and eyes. 

But how could she explain the recording Drake had just played? 

Thalia’s mind was in turmoil. 

Drake remained silent for a moment. 

Giving Thalia’s racing thoughts ample time to spiral. 

After a while, Drake continued: “Vanessa kidnapped your sister and tried to kill you. Asher took a knife for you–she nearly killed him! Logically, after everything Vanessa did, the Blackwood family wouldn’t possibly let her go free. But think about it–Vanessa was already in police custody. Why was she abducted immediately after claiming to be pregnant?” 

Thalia’s brow furrowed deeply, her lips pressed tightly together as she remained silent. 

“You might wanna consider whose baby Vanessa might be carrying?” 

This question struck like lightning from a clear sky. 

Thalia was so disturbed that her body trembled uncontrollably. 

“Shut up!“. 

She was visibly upset, looking up to glare fiercely at Drake as she shouted: “Stop spreading these ridiculous lies! Asher isn’t that sort of person! He’s nothing like you! Don’t project your own foulness onto 

others!” 

A flash of hurt crossed Drake’s dark eyes, a bitter feeling rising in his chest.

Was Asher really so perfect in her eyes? 

Was he himself so utterly contemptible? 

How ironic. 

Drake suppressed the bitterness in his heart, composed himself, and affected an air of casual indifference, his eyes glinting with amusement. “I’m only telling you the truth, Thalia. You trust Asher too much. If he had nothing to hide, why would he keep this from you?” 

“Get out!” Thalia demanded furiously. 

Drake shrugged, smiling slightly. “Asher is with Vanessa right now. Why don’t you call and ask him yourself?” 

“Stop trying to drive a wedge between us!” Thalia gave Drake a forceful push and turned to enter her flat. 

Drake grabbed her wrist and yanked her back toward the door, causing Thalia to stumble and nearly fall. 

Drake caught her by the waist, leaning down to inhale deeply near her hair, a look of obsession on his 

face. “Thalia, leave him. Come back to me.” 

Thalia drove her knee hard into Drake’s stomach. 

Drake let out a cry of pain and released her. 

Thalia unhesitatingly delivered a resounding slap to Drake’s face. 

“SLAP!” The sound echoed sharply in the corridor. 

Thalia’s eyes flashed with angry sparks as she berated him: “Drake, stay away from me! You’re not 

worthy!” 

Drake’s head tilted from the force of the slap. 

Then he raised his eyes to look directly at Thalia, the corners of his eyes reddened, the handprint clearly 

visible on his face. 

“Thalia, why are you so cruel to me?” 

His voice was soft, sounding genuinely hurt. 

Thalia gave a cold laugh, her eyes filled with contempt.

“You really need to ask why? Because you’re tainted now. We can never go back to the way things were.” 

Thalia raised her chin, looking down at him haughtily. “A man who doesn’t respect himself is like a rotten cucumber. I never make the same mistake twice!” 

With that, she gave Drake no chance to respond, turning to slam the door shut with a resounding “BANG.” 

Drake stood outside, staring at the closed door, profound pain brewing in his dark eyes. 

Because you’re tainted now. 

We can never go back to the way things were. 

Her words cut him deeply, one by one, like needles piercing his heart, leaving it riddled with wounds, a 

bloody mess. 

Drake returned dejectedly to the flat he had just purchased. 

Right next door to Thalia’s. 

He turned on the shower and scrubbed his body over and over. 

“Thalia, Thalia…” 

Drake rubbed his skin forcefully until it turned red. 

He called Thalia’s name as tears mingled with the shower water streaming down his face. 

“I’m not dirty… If I wash thoroughly enough, I won’t be dirty anymore, don’t reject me…” 

Back in her room, Thalia couldn’t calm her thoughts. 

The recording Drake had played was clearly Vanessa’s voice. 

Had she really been abducted from under the police’s nose? Why hadn’t Asher told her? 

What was the urgent matter he mentioned tonight? 

Could it really be related to Vanessa? 

Thalia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Chapter 86 

After much deliberation, she finally couldn’t resist calling Asher. 

The phone rang for a long time with no answer. 

Until it automatically disconnected. 

This was the first time Asher hadn’t answered her call. 

Thalia’s heart grew even more troubled. 

She lay in bed. 

Scenes from over a month ago replayed in her mind again and again. 

The way Vanessa had looked at Asher, so intense and obsessive. 

Seeing her and Asher embracing, Vanessa had charged forward with a knife, intending to stab her to 

death. 

How could a woman become so deranged over love? 

Even after loving someone unrequited for ten years, surely one wouldn’t become so extreme as to attempt murder? 

Could there be something more to this story? 

After Asher was stabbed, Vanessa had broken down, crying and laughing hysterically, appearing genuinely remorseful and frightened. It hadn’t seemed like an act–she had been truly terrified that something might happen to Asher. 

Thinking back to when Asher was injured.
