Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 186 The police and ambulance arrived swiftly.

The two assailants were taken into custody.

At the hospital, outside the emergency room.

Alana and Lucy stood anxiously in the corridor.

Lucy paced back and forth, muttering repeatedly: "She'll be fine, she has to be fine..." Alana remained grimly silent, leaning against the wall with her eyes downcast, lips pressed into a tight line.

Soon, Randolph and Victoria arrived, having rushed over upon receiving the news.

"How is Thalia?" Randolph asked Alana urgently.

Alana kept her eyes lowered, her face filled with remorse as she replied in a strained voice: "She took a bullet to the chest, sir. We don't know if it hit her heart." Randolph staggered at these words, nearly losing his balance.

"How could this happen?" His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with anguish.

"It's my fault..." Lucy spoke up, her eyes red-rimmed and voice breaking. "The bullet wouldn't have hit Thalia from that angle. It should have been me. She pushedout of the way-that's why she was shot... I'm so sorry. It's all my fault..." "Mr. Winters, these weren't ordinary attackers," Alana said gravely. "I engaged both men. They were professionally trained mercenaries. I recognized this marking on one of their necks-it's the tattoo worn by mercenaries working for Russia's largest criminal organization." Alana showed Randolph a photo on her phone-one she had taken before the police arrived.

The image showed the man who had collapsed from the sedative, with a distinctive black gun-shaped tattoo on the back of his neck.

Randolph stared at the photo, murmuring: “Russia's largest criminal organization? That's not...” "Malfoy's men," a cold voice finished his sentence.

Randolph looked up to see Asher approaching with rapid strides, his expression severe.

"I was careless," Asher said, his brow deeply furrowed. "Malfoy isn't dead. The body found in the rubble was a 10:12 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress 98.4% decoy he had prepared "Malfoy again?" Randolph's breathing grew heavy with anger "Your feud with him is your business-why does my family keep getting caught in the crossfire? Thalia broke things off with you completely. Why is he still targeting ber? Asher & dark eyes were filled with profound sadness. "Because of me" Tm sorry, sir." Asher continued, his voice deep with emotion. "Before the Russian election, I had everything arranged. I personally flew to Russia to deal with Malfoy. Our plan was perfect, but there was a traitor among my people who warned him. He left a body double behind while he escaped through an underground tunnel in disguise." "We worked with the Russian government to dismantle Malfoy's entire operation. We believed he was dead and that Thalia would no longer be threatened, which is why I started seeing her again..." Malfoy has los everything-his armed forces have either been killed or surrendered. He has no chance of rebuilding his empire. He's desperate now, back in Britain solely for revenge against me. He wants to takedown with him. The men who attacked Thalia were part of his escape team, acting on his orders, while Malfoy himself cafter me." Only after Asher finished speaking did Randolph notice his injuries.

His black shirt concealed the bloodstains, but blood had trickled down to his hand. The bright red stood out starkly against his pale skin.

Lucy noticed it too.

She didn't understand all the talk about Malfoy and Russian operations, but she understood that the attackers weren't ordinary criminals-which explained how they had a gun in a country with strict firearm laws.

"Mr. Blackwood, you're injured too. You should get medical attention," Lucy said, alarmed by the blood on his hand.

Asher shook his head. "I'm staying here with Lia." "Asher Blackwood," Randolph's eyes blazed red with fury as he glared at Asher, each word dripping with hatred: "If my Thalía...

He couldn't bring himself to complete the sentence-“doesn't survive." After a pause, Randolph continued through gritted teeth: "I will make your family pay, even if it costseverything I have!" "Malfoy has been apprehended by the police," Asher said, his eyes downcast. "This time, there's no escape for hins "Sir," Asher raised his eyes to meet Randolph's furious gaze. "If Thalia... I'll give my life for hers." This declaration stunned everyone present.

Winters, Thalia is still being treated. The outcisn't certain yet. She's such a good person-surely fate wouldn't be soul.." Her voice caked with emotion, unable to continue.

"Thats right, Thalia will be fine. Randolph, don't assthe worst..." Victoria gently patted Randolph's bark, her voice soothing Despite her words, Victoria's eyes reddened with unshed tears.

Though Thalia wasn't her biological daughter, she had always treated her as her own.

Over the years, Thalia's attitude toward her had gradually shifted from resentment and rejection to acceptance.

Thalia's career was just taking off, everything moving in a positive direction.

How could this happen...? She was still so young

Soon, Rupert, Justin Felton, and other partners from the firm arrived, m followed ed by various friends including the Darwin siblings, Sebastian, Christine, Mark, and Teresa. The corridor grew crowded, yet everyone remained silent, the packed hallway eerily quiet.

The atmosphere was heavy with dread.

Everyone silently prayed that Thalia would safely make it through this ordeal.
