Chapter 165 That night, Thalia couldn't sleep.
The aurecording kept echoing in her mind.
Grace's backer was Tom Malfoy.
Thalia wasn't sure how many Blackwood family secrets Grace knew, being their adopted daughter.
She hadn't previously asked Asher whether Grace held any position in the Blackwood Group.
If Grace did work at Blackwood Group and had access to business secrets that she then leaked to Tom Malfoy, it could be extremely damaging to the company.
Additionally, Tom Malfoy hated the Blackwood family.
Everything he had done previously was to exact revenge on Asher.
Since Grace was infatuated with Asher, why would she help Tom Malfoy and position herself against Asher? This was something Thalia couldn't fathom.
Perhaps Tom Malfoy had promised her something? Pondering these questions, Thalia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep until the first light of dawn appeared, when drowsiness finally overcher.
When she awoke, it was already afternoon.
Thalia sat up in bed and glanced at the ton her phone: 2:30 PM.
She irritably ran her fingers through her hair, finally sighing in resignation.
Yesterday at the café, after the private investigator had given her the physical photos, he had also sent her digital copies of the evidence.
After freshening up, Thalia forwarded the digital evidence from the investigator to Asher's email.
She told herself, help him out-after all, he rescued Lucy, and at their engagement party, he had even taken a knife for her. No matter what, she couldn't just stand by if he was in danger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace alone might not be enough to threaten Asher, but with Tom Malfoy behind her, that was a different story.
16:48 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 96.5% Chapter 165 Thalia was well aware of how powerful Tom Malfoy was in Russia.
Asher considered Tom Malfoy a formidable opponent. If Grace continued to act as an inside informant for Tom Malfoy against the Blackwood family, not only would Blackwood Group be impacted, but Asher himself might also be in danger.
After sending the email, Thalia noticed a new message in her inbox.
It was from the person she had asked to help investigate Ashcroft Group's business records.
The email was titled "Ashcroft Group Business Records." Thalia opened the email and quickly scrolled through the document.
When she saw the changes in Ashcroft Group's equity and the detailed information about the controlling shareholder, Thalia read it over several times, recalling what Drake had said about Arno Jones, Tom Malfoy's subordinate, investing in Ashcroft Group. Her brow furrowed.
The document showed that the controlling shareholder was an overseas investment company, not Arno Jones personally.
Could this company also be controlled by Arno Jones? Arno Jones had already been arrested, and his companies in the UK had been seized.
The overseas company was beyond the reach of British authorities, which was fortunate for Drake.
Just then, her computer notified her of a new email.
Thalia opened it and paused.
It was a reply from Asher.
In his email, Asher said they had already discovered Grace's close association with Drake and that Grace was working for Tom Malfoy.
Thalia breathed a sigh of relief.
Good that they knew.
Thalia typed a long message in response but hesitated before sending it.
How Asher would deal with Grace was his business. Grace was the Blackwood family's adopted daughter, Asher's sister, and more importantly, she harboured inappropriate feelings for Asher.
Since Asher had already discovered so much, knowing that Grace was working for Tom Malfoy, he must also have realized Grace's feelings for him.
16:48 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 96.6% Chapter 165 Would he be lenient? After all, Grace had been his sister for over a decade. Would he forgive her if she cried? Thalia suddenly felt a wave of irritation.
She deleted what she had written, character by character.
Enough. She had done what she needed to do. How Asher would handle Grace was no longer her concern.
Today was Saturday, so Thalia didn't need to go to the office.
She drank a glass of milk and ate a sandwich to tide herself over.
The restlessness in her heart remained undiminished.
Seeing that the weather outside was pleasant, Thalia quickly got ready and went out to clear her mind.
Near Thalia's villa was a large park, which she reached on foot.
The park was crowded on the weekend, with many parents bringing their children out to play.
Evergreen trees created a lush green landscape, verdant and thriving.
Tulips and roses bloomed in competition, a stunning display of beauty.
Many people were picnicking on the lawn, and children were flying kites.
Thalia strolled across the grass, watching these everyday scenes of life, and her unease began to dissipate.
After walking aimlessly for about fifteen minutes, Thalia sat down to rest on a wooden bench under a large tree. Suddenly, she heard the intermittent sound of a child crying.
Thalia followed the sound and discovered a small girl crying behind a nearby sculpture.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe little girl wore a pink dress over a white knitted sweater. Her hair was tied in pigtails, with fluffy bunny hairbands.
Thalia recognized the girl's clothes as from a luxury brand's children's line. The bunny hairbands were the sas the ones Lucy had, which cost around £70,000.
Thalia approached and asked, "Hello there, what's the matter?" The girl's doe-like eyes were red from crying, her face streaked with tears. "I... I've lost my mummy... sob..." Just as Thalia had guessed.
16:48 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 96.7% Chapter 165 "Do you remember your mummy's phone number?" Thalia asked.
The little girl pouted and shook her head.
Thalia asked again, "What about your daddy's phone number? Or any other family member's number? Do you remember any?" The girl pressed her lips together and shook her head again.
Thalia sighed and asked, "Do you know your parents' names?” The little girl nodded and said, "My mummy is called Amanda." Thalia felt relieved. At least she remembered her mother's name.
After thinking for a moment, Thalia decided to take the little girl to the park's management center, where staff could use the PA system to help the child find her mother.
"No more tears now. I'll help you find your mummy, alright?" Thaliat bent down, patted the little girl's head, and spoke gently. The girl wiped her tears and looked at Thalia for a moment, her lips pursed, before responding in a childish voice, "Okay." Thalia's eyes curved into a smile. “That's a good girl." She extended her hand to the little girl. "Calong then, let's find your mummy." The little girl obediently took Thalia's hand and followed her.
At the management center, Thalia explained the girl's situation to the staff.
The staff member asked, "What's your name, love?" "My nis Lena Garret," the little girl replied in her small voice.
The staff member immediately connected to the PA system.
"Ms. Amanda, your daughter Lena Garret is lost in the park. If you hear this announcement, please cto the management center at the north gate." The park was large, but there were speakers placed at regular intervals.
Before long, Amanda arrived at the management center.
The moment Thalia saw Amanda, she was stunned.
