Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Margret lunged forward, hands raised to strike. Alana intercepted her wrist in one fluid motion, applying precise pressure to a specific point. Margret yelped and stumbled backward, her face contorting in pain. She clutched her afflicted arm with her other hand, eyes wide with shock. Her entire limb had gone numb "What did you do to me?" Margret's pained grimace looked almost comical . " It's numb! Completely numb ! "Sonlookers couldn't help but snicker at the spectacle." Leave, "Alana said coldly, her gaze unwavering and menacing. Margret shuddered, suddenly realizing how dangerous this woman might be. Just a simple touch, and her entire arm had been incapacitated. Hospital security arrived at that moment. " Break it up, folks. Nothing to see here," several uniformed guards began dispersing the crowd. The onlookers reluctantly drifted away. "Are you alright, Miss Winters ? Should we call the police ? " one guard asked Thalia with marked deference. The security staff all recognized Thalia Winters. When she'd transferred to the hospital, their supervisor had shown them her photo, explaining she was the owner's daughter recovering from an injury. They'd been instructed to be especially attentive, to greet her respectfully, and to accommodate any requests she might make.

When Margret heard the guard address Thalia as " Miss Winters " with such respect, realization dawned. "This is your family's hospital?" she gasped . Thalia's lips twisted slightly. Ignoring Margret's question, she addressed the guard : " No need for police. Just escort this woman off the premises. " " Right away, Miss. " 10:13 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 99.0 % Chapter 201 Margret struggled as the guards took her arms. "Let go of! I'm not leaving ! "After Margret had been removed, Katie finally found her voice, turning to Thalia with astonishment. " Your family owns this hospital?" Thalia simply nodded. Katie wanted to ask about what she'd overheard - something about Drake Ashcroft and bankruptcy - but noting Thalia's expression, decided against it. Clearly a painful topic best left undisturbed. Early the next morning, Thalia opened her door, planning to get sfresh air. She stopped abruptly.

Just outside her hospital room lay a stunning bouquet of Freud roses in full bloom. Thalia picked up the flowers. She examined the bouquet carefully but found no card. Who had left them? An image formed in her mind. Thalia's breath quickened slightly. Was it him? Had he visited the hospital? When? Thalia stood holding the roses, lost in thought. Could someone have delivered them to the wrong room? There wasn't even a card to indicate they were meant for her. Should she ask him? But their relationship was awkward now - if the flowers weren't from Asher, asking would only make her look foolish. 99.1 % Chapter 201 Thalia carried the bouquet to the nurses' station on her floor. The young nurse on duty quickly put away her phone when she saw Thalia approaching." Good morning, Miss Winters. Good morning," Thalia replied. " Did you happen to see who left these flowers at my door this morning?" The nurse nodded. "A gentleman left them. " "A gentleman ? "Thalia's brow furrowed. "What did he look like ? " At the mention of the visitor, the nurse's eyes lit up with excitement." He was tall and incredibly hands- better looking than any movie star ! " " Was he wearing glasses?" Thalia asked. Two tall, handsmen cto mind : Asher and Rupert . Rupert wore glasses; Asher didn't. The nurse shook her head. "No glasses. He was wearing a black shirt and had this really intimidating vibe. "That confirmed it for Thalia.

It had to be Asher. But why hadn't he knocked on her door? Why hadn't he cin to see her?" What tdid he cby?" Thalia asked. " About half an hour ago . " "Thank you." Thalia thanked the nurse and headed back to her room. Her VIP suite already had decorative floral arrangements. She removed the wilting flowers from one vase and replaced them with Asher's Freud roses. The roses were vibrant and bold, radiating warmth and vitality.

Freud roses carried a romantic meaning: " You wander carelessly through my dreams, turning my heart into a garden filled with fragrance. " 99.2 % Chapter 201 After arranging the flowers, Thalia thought about what the nurse had said - Asher had been there just thirty minutes earlier. Her breath caught as a possibility occurred to her. Could he still be nearby? Once the thought took hold, she couldn't resist investigating. Thalia hurried out the door toward the elevators.

It was seven in the morning. The sun was already warming the day. Wearing a light purple summer dress, Thalia exited the elevator and made her way toward the outdoor parking lot. A few minutes later, she slowed her pace. There he was. Asher hadn't left after all. He was leaning against his Rolls-Royce Cullinan, head down, a cigarette between his fingers. White smoke curled upward, gradually dissipating in the morning air. He hadn't noticed her watching from a distance.

Lost in thought, he seemed removed from the world around him. Morning sunlight fell across his features, softening his usually sharp profile. It had been so long since she'd seen him. Thalia's breath caught as she took a few steps closer. Asher looked up, his eyes meeting hers. He seemed momentarily startled. In the next instant, he extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash bin. Thalia disliked the smell of smoke. Asher had never been a smoker before.

Recent events had taken their toll - managing family affairs after the double funeral while simultaneously handling 99.3 % Chapter 201 business matters, working around the clock without rest. And then there was his situation with Thalia ... He missed her desperately, yet circumstances kept them apart. Whenever he thought of her, his chest tightened painfully. Smoking and drinking offered temporary relief. But excessive drinking clouded judgment, something Asher avoided.

So when the longing becunbearable, he smoked instead. As Thalia approached, Asher instinctively stepped back." Don't ccloser - I smell like smoke. " A smell you don't like. He lowered his eyes, emotions hidden in their depths. " Sorry, I've been feeling ... overwhelmed. The cigarettes help . " He was afraid she'd be put off by the tobacco smell. "It's fine, "Thalia said softly, looking at him. "Thank you for the flowers. They're beautiful.

"His voice was deep, gentle. "I'm glad you like them." Thalia hesitated , wanting to ask why he hadn't knocked, why he hadn't cin to see her. But the words wouldn't come: Asher seemed to read her thoughts, answering her unspoken question: "I didn't want to wake you, so I didn't knock." Thalia responded with a soft" Mm. "Silence stretched between them. Neither quite knew what to say next . After a moment, Thalia broke the silence. "I should get back. Drive safely.

|| "I will. " Asher's gaze remained tender. That evening, Thalia received a call from Charlotte . " m Thalia, do you have a minute? There's something Need to tell you. Charlotte's tone was unusually serious, surprising Thalia. 99.3 % 11- A Trun Heiress Chapter 201 They were such close friends - what could be so delicate that it required this level of formality? " I'm free. What's up?" Thalia replied. Charlotte paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully.

"Thalia, do you remember Lucia Schulz?" Lucia Schulz ? Why would Charlotte suddenly bring her up?" Yes, I remember her We've atever || Thalia replied met at events but weren't close. Didn't she move abroad?" " She did, but she's back in London now." "I see. Why are you asking about her?" Charlotte fell silent momentarily before continuing : " She returned specifically for Asher." Thalia went still, waiting for Charlotte to continue. Seeing Thalia's silence, Charlotte decided to share everything." Seven years ago, before she left for university she confessed her feelings to Asher. I saw her recently, and she toldshe's returned specifically to pursue him. "The room was brightly lit, fresh roses in the vase on her bedside table filling the air with their subtle fragrance. As Charlotte finished speaking, Thalia stared at the bouquet, her mind miles away. ♡ (11)
