Chapter 183 Chapter 183 " It''s over , Lia , " Asher''s voice was deep and slightly hoarse . " Malfoy is dead . It''s all over . " Thalia''s heart suddenly raced . " Are you … are you alright ? " There was a moment of silence on the other end . Then Asher''s voice came through the phone : " I''m fine . " Thank goodness for that . Thalia exhaled with relief . Her heart , which had been in her throat , finally settled back into ce .


    She had been terrified that Asher might have been injured while confronting Malfoy in Russia . " I should go now . It''s dinner time , " Thalia said . " Lia , wait for me , " Asher''s voice was gentle . Thalia didn''t respond , simply ending the call . Her mind was in turmoil . The Malfoy situation might be resolved , but what about Lady ckwood ? And Randolph now had strong negative feelings toward the ckwood family .


    She herself couldn''t simply ignore the pain she had suffered and start over with Asher . " Thalia , dinner''s ready ! " Victoria called out , pulling Thalia from her thoughts . " Coming , " Thalia pushed aside her jumbled thoughts and headed toward the dining room . Ever since learning of Sienna''s pregnancy , Margret Ashcroft had been absolutely delighted . Drake hadn''t yet told his mother about Ashcroft Group''s troubles .


    He was still trying to salvage what he could , nning to inform her only when it became absolutely unsustainable . Thus , Margret remained blissfully unaware . Despite thepany being on the brink of disaster , she continued to y the role of wealthy socialite , bedecked in jewelry and radiating happiness . 09:43 O Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.4 % Chapter 183 That afternoon , Margret brought a housekeeper along to purchase nutritional supplements for expectant mothers .


    She also sent the housekeeper to a members only supermarket for premium organic vegetables and a free - range chicken , intending to prepare a nourishing chicken soup for Sienna . When they arrived at Sienna''s apartment , Margret cheerfully took Sienna''s hand , asking all manner of concerned questions . Sienna , however , was clearly dispirited , responding with half - hearted answers . Margret assumed Sienna''s mood was affected by pregnancy hormones and didn''t think much of it .


    She instructed the housekeeper to arrange the supplements , then said , " Wilson , please start preparing the chicken soup for our future daughter - in -w . " The housekeeper promptly replied , " Yes , madam . " The title " future daughter - in -w " was something Sienna had once dreamed of hearing . Now , she merely found it irritating . She knew little about business matters , but she had heard that Ashcroft Group was drowning in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy .


    If she married into the Ashcroft family now , she would be burdened with enormous debt for the rest of her life . " What''s wrong , dear ? Are you feeling unwell ? " Margret noticed her demeanor and asked with concern . Sienna replied with a nomittal " Mm . " " Pregnancy is like that - sometimes you feel low and irritable , sometimes even depressed , " Margret said . Margret held Sienna''s hand , ying the role of the doting future mother - in -w .


    " I was the same when I was pregnant with Drake . Sometimes my mood would swing , and everything would irritate me . Perhaps you should move in with us ? Having staff to look after you would put my mind at ease . " " That''s not necessary , Mrs. Ashcroft , " Sienna gently withdrew her hand . " I''m ustomed to living here . I''m afraid I wouldn''t adjust well to your home . " Margret epted this without suspicion , nodding . " Of course , you should stay where you''refortable .


    What if I send Wilson to attend to you daily ? Or perhaps she could stay here if there''s room ? Having someone look after you would reassure me , especially since Drake is so busy withpany matters . " Hearing this opening , Sienna seized the opportunity , responding with a question of her own : " Mrs. Ashcroft, how is thepany doingtely ? " " Hmm ? What do you mean ? " Margret seemed puzzled by the sudden question .


    A True Heiress 98 Vo Chapter 183 Sienna probed further : " It''s just that I''ve barely seen Drake for days . I''ve gone to the office several times , but he hasn''t been there . Has something happened at thepany ? " Margret was a full - time housewife who paid little attention to the world outside her social circle . Between shopping , beauty treatments , mahjong games , and afternoon teas , she had no knowledge of thepany''s current state .


    She didn''t find Sienna''s question suspicious , assuming it merely showed concern for Drake . She smiled and replied : " Oh , it''s the usual , I suppose . Drake and his father haven''t mentioned anything to me . He must be particrly busytely . I''ll have a word with him - no matter how busy he is , he shouldn''t neglect his wife and child . I''ll tell him to make more time for you . " Seeing that Margret knew nothing , Sienna dropped the subject . " Mrs.


    Ashcroft , there''s no need for the housekeeper to stay here . My ce isn''t suitable . " Margret looked uncertain . " I''m worried something might happen if you''re alone . Pregnant women need constant care . " What could possibly happen ? Sienna mentally rolled her eyes . She had already decided to terminate the pregnancy . If Margret arranged for someone to stay with her , watching her constantly , how would she manage to get an abortion ?


    The Ashcroft family was nearly bankrupt , and she absolutely could not have this child . She was still early in her pregnancy - an abortion was still feasible . If she actually gave birth , there would be no going back . Even if she didn''t marry Drake and shoulder the Ashcroft family''s debt , having a child would be a burden , making it harder to find another suitable match . She wasn''t foolish enough to struggle as a single mother .


    While nning the abortion in her mind , Sienna maintained herposure . She smiled , fabricating a story : " My mother heard about my pregnancy and has already bought a ne ticket . With her taking care of me , you needn''t worry . " " Your mother ising to London ? That''s wonderful ! " Margret smiled . " When does she arrive ? I''ll arrange a wee dinner for her ." Ashcroft Group had moved its headquarters to London back when Arno Jones had invested in it .


    At that time , Drake had purchased a vi in London specifically to win Thalia back , establishing a home there . Now the entire Ashcroft family lived in London . Sienna had manipted Drake into buying her a fully furnished apartment during the period when she was pretending to be Thalia''s recement , and she now lived there .


    Not only had her mother not purchased any tickets , but even if she were toe , Sienna couldn''t possibly allow her Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress Chapter 183 to meet Margret . The Ashcroft family was a sinking ship , one that Sienna was desperate to abandon . Thest thing she wanted was for her family to meet the Ashcrofts . Sienna adopted a gentle demeanor , smiling softly as she said , " Mrs. Ashcroft , there''s no rush . We can discuss it when the timees .


    " Hearing this , Margret frowned . " What''s wrong , dear ? Is it because Drake has been neglecting youtely ? Are you upset and hesitant about arranging a meeting between our families ? " Sienna had been struggling to find a suitable excuse . With Margret''s question , she was handed the perfect pretext . Sienna pursed her lips , presenting a picture of dejection as she lowered her gaze . " Yes , Mrs. Ashcroft . Drake seems increasingly indifferent toward me .


    He never wanted this child in the first ce . " Though she had intended to merely feign hurt , as she spoke these words , Sienna found herself genuinely saddened . Despite everything , her feelings for Drake were real , and she had once genuinely looked forward to having his child . Remembering how Drake had told her to terminate the pregnancy without a moment''s hesitation when she''d shown him the test results , she felt genuine pain and resentment .


    Her words had turned out to be a true expression of her feelings . But she had outgrown the naivety of love - struck youth . She loved Drake , but love couldn''t pay the bills . Marrying him now would ruin her life . Hearing Sienna''s words , Margret gently patted her shoulder in constion . " I''ll speak up for you . I''ll make Drakee and spend time with you tonight . " What good would that do now ? Sienna thought to herself . " It''s alright , Mrs. Ashcroft .


    Drake is very busy , and I don''t want to burden him . Once he gets through this be period , I''m sure he''lle see me . " Hearing this , Margret''s eyes filled with approval . " You''re so understanding , Sienna . Truly worthy of being my daughter - in -w . " Chapter 184 Chapter 184
