Chapter 180 Drake Ashcroft had been having a difficult timetely . Several major projects at Ashcroft Group had encountered one problem after another . The investments his friends had persuaded him to join were consistently losing money , and various investment partners were withdrawing their funding . Drake had been overwhelmingly busy , rushing about from one meeting to another every day . That afternoon , Sienna came to Drake''s office .


    Unusually , she hadn''t applied makeup or perfume today . " Drake , I have a surprise for you , " Sienna said with a bright smile . Drake was in no mood to humor her . Sitting at his desk reviewing documents , he responded impatiently , " Make it quick . I''m extremely busy . " Sienna smiled coyly and perched herself on the edge of his desk . " You''re going to be delighted , Drake . " Sienna took a medical report from her handbag and passed it to him with a smile .


    " Drake , you''re going to be a father . " Drake''s expression froze as he snatched the paper . " What did you say ? " Sienna''s face radiated joy and excitement . " I''m pregnant ! You''re going to be a father ! " Drake''s expression darkened instantly . He stared intently at the paper , his voice cutting . " Get rid of it . This child cannot be born . " " What did you just say ? " Sienna''s smile vanished , reced with shock . " You''re joking , surely ? That''s our child !


    Why would you want to terminate the pregnancy ? " " Hmph . " Drake gave a coldugh . " I don''t want it . It''s that simple . " " Drake Ashcroft ! " Sienna slid off the desk to stand before him , pointing angrily . " You absolute bastard ! " " Don''t make me repeat myself , " the man''s eyes were cold as frost . " Terminate it . " " I absolutely refuse ! " Sienna shouted . " This is my child , and I''ll have it if I want to . You have no say in the matter ! I''ll be a single mother if necessary !


    " 07:53 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.4 Chapter no " How muchpensation do you want ? " Draks asked coldly . " Compensation ? " Stenna was thoroughly incensed . " This is your own flesh and blood . Are you trying to buy your child''s life ? Are you even human ? Even tigers don''t devour their young ! " " You make it sound so simple . If you have this child , you''ll expect me to take responsibility , " Drake fixed Sienna with a cold , sinister gaze .


    " I don''t have the time or inclination to raise a child right now . " Sienna stood her ground , ring hatefully at Drake . " How convenient . You were happy enough not to wear protection at the time , promising we''d keep the baby if I got pregnant . Now that I actually am pregnant , you don''t want to take responsibility ? " Drake''s expression was contemptuous , his eyes mocking . " You actually believed what I said when I was drunk ? " " You truly are an absolute cad !


    " Sienna grabbed her handbag and stormed out . That afternoon , Winters & Associates received an unexpected visitor . The receptionist didn''t recognize Sienna or know about her history with her boss , so she politely escorted her to the reception room and served her tea . " Ms. Winters is in court this afternoon , " the young woman nced at her watch . " The hearing should have concluded by now , so she''s likely on her way back . If you could wait a moment .


    " Sienna maintained her politeness , nodding slightly . " Of course , thank you . " After the receptionist left , Sienna sat in the reception room and sent a photo of her pregnancy test results to Drake''s mother , Margret . [ Mrs. Ashcroft , I''m pregnant , but Drake says he doesn''t want the baby … ] Margret quickly called her . Sienna let the phone ring for a while before answering unhurriedly . " Sienna , dear , are you really pregnant? " Margret''s voice conveyed surprise and anticipation .


    Sienna flicked her hair back , a smile silently curving her lips . Then , adopting a tearful voice , she said , " Yes , Mrs. Ashcroft . I''ve been craving sour foodstely - they say that means it''s a boy .


    The baby is very likely a little boy , but … but Drake doesn''t want the baby … sob … " Upon hearing that Sienna was genuinely pregnant , and possibly with a male heir , Margret''s eyes lit up with Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98 Chapter 150 excitement , her voice trembling : " Sienna , dear , don''t cry . Don''t worry - I''ll sort this out for you . You take care of yourself and the baby . I''lle by to see you this evening .


    " Sienna continued between sobs , " But what about Drake … " " Don''t worry about Drake , " Margret said softly . " I''m his mother ; he''ll listen to me . His father and I have been longing for a grandchild . If we say you can have this baby , then you can have it . " " Mrs. Ashcroft , then I … " " You''ll have everything you deserve . I''ll take you for a proper check - up soon , and then we''ll arrange for both families to meet .


    Don''t worry , now that you''re carrying the Ashcroft family''s bloodline , I certainly won''t let you be treated poorly . " The meaning couldn''t have been clearer . Margret was agreeing to Sienna marrying into the Ashcroft family . Sienna smiled as she held the phone , but maintained her tearful voice : " You''re so kind , Mrs. Ashcroft . " When Thalia returned to the firm and heard there was a client waiting , she went directly to the reception room .


    Opening the door and seeing Sienna sitting on the sofa , Thalia paused , her brow furrowing . " Sienna ? What are you doing here ? " Sienna lifted her chin slightly , meeting Thalia''s gaze with a challenging look . " Thalia , I came here today to share some good news with you . " Thalia remained silent , frowning as she waited for Sienna to continue . " Well , it''s certainly good news for me , " Sienna smiled . " But perhaps not so much for you . " She handed the pregnancy report to Thalia .


    Thalia took it and nced at it , a sh of mockery crossing her eyes . " Is that all ? You''re pregnant. " " It''s Drake''s child , " Sienna said with smug satisfaction . " Drake is delighted . Mrs. Ashcroft and Mr. Ashcroft know as well . We''re currently discussing arrangements for our families to meet and formalize our engagement . I''m so sorry , Thalia - in the end , I''ll be the one marrying Drake . How unfortunate for you , dating him for three years and ending up with nothing .


    " Seeing Sienna''s expression , Thalia understood - she hade to gloat . " Sienna , have you forgotten something ? " Thalia looked at her with amusement . " You spread rumors about me online and incited your followers to cyberbully me . The court has already epted the case . The hearing is in two Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 92699 Chapter 180 weeks . " " So what ? " Sienna smiled . " I''ve checked - thew is lenient toward pregnant women during trials .


    The punishment will be reduced . Besides , Drake wouldn''t let me go to prison while carrying his child . He''ll certainly find a way to get me out . " Thalia gave a mocking smile . " Drake can barely save himself , let alone worry about you . " Sienna''s expression faltered . " What do you mean ? " Thalia shrugged . " Why don''t you ask him yourself ? " " You''re obviously jealous that I''m pregnant with Drake''s child and can marry into the Ashcroft family .


    That''s why you''re saying these things , " Sienna''s smile returned . " I''m sorry to disappoint you , Thalia , but I''m about to be Mrs. Ashcroft . " " Jealous of you ? " Thaliaughed as if she''d heard the funniest joke . " You''re still living in a fantasy world . " After learning that Drake had been secretly working with Grace Bet and had deliberately called the police , nearly causing her to be killed by Tom Malfoy , Thalia had used her connections to strike back at Drake .


    Arno Jones and Grace Bet were now in prison , and Tom Malfoy''s political backing in Russia was about to copse . Now that she was moving against Ashcroft Group , no one could save him . ( 5 )
