Hearing this, Georgia slowly raised her eyes to look at Landon. Her unfocused eyes revealed a hint of
panic, and the corners of her mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. “Even you are here tough at
me now?”
“You brought this upon yourself.” Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Landon brusquely retracted his
outstretched hand. “I warned you not to provoke her previously, but you ignored my words. Who can
you me for your current situation?”
With one hand in his pocket, he looked down at Georgia, who had crumpled to the floor. His eyes were
filled with disgust and disappointment. “You should be thankful that David didn’t punish you personally.
Otherwise, you might not have left the Peckham Pce alive tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Georgia’s pupils constricted. She felt a vice-like grip around her heart as her
breathing slowed almost to a halt.
“I used to think you were pretty smart, Georgia, but your performance tonight has been disappointing.”
Landon had fought a bloody battle to stand out among his father’s numerous potential sessors. He
knew how difficult life was for a concubine’s child, especiallypared to a legitimate child.
Therefore, he had always chosen to turn a blind eye to his step-sister’s ttery and schemes.
Gradually, he had even agreed to Georgia calling herself his sister.
With her intelligence, Landon thought Georgia would know how to behave appropriately in such a
setting. However, her performance tonight had let him down utterly.

Therefore, he no longer had his usual patience and gentleness towards her.
“Rachel was able to participate in the international military selection and even received a personal
invitation from the head of state. Vulture, leader of the Red me Army, could never bring himself to
say a harsh word to her. Even the arrogant ckhawk willingly became her loyal retainer. So many
signs indicated she was not normal like you thought.
“Even Jimmy and I knew to keep our heads down when we saw her, but what about you? Not only did
you maliciously specte about her rtionship with the Red me Army, but you even stirred up
trouble in front of everyone. Do you think that a mere rumor of Rachel’s past marriage could change
David’s mind?
“Besides, so what if Rachel has married before? Even Mr. Johnson cannot stop David from marrying
her so long as David likes her. I’m warning you onest time, give up on recing her as soon as
possible. Even if something happens to their rtionship, there’s no way you’ll be the head of the
Jones family!
“If we were to talk about appearance, your looks can barely hold a candle to Rachel’s. In terms of
background, you’re just a mistress’s daughter. By following me around and calling me your brother, did
you think you would be a legitimate daughter of the Grey family?”
Here, Landon’s lips curled into a cold and mocking smile. “To think you even threatened Rachel with
our family’s status! What would happen to you if the n elders knew you behaved so impudently
before David? Do you have any idea?”.
Hearing this, a terrified look appeared on Georgia’s face.
She swallowed her saliva but could not say anything.
“Back then, I allowed you to stay by my side because you were aware of your limits, but you must have
lost your self-awareness. You don’t have to stay by my side in the future.”
Landon did not spare another nce at Georgia. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to leave
with a cold and determined expression.
Georgia, who was still rooted to her spot, began to panic. She pounced on Landon and grabbed his
pant legs tightly. “Landon, I was wrong. I… I will never make such a mistake again. I will never fight
with Rachel again!”
“Georgia, some mistakes can’t be erased by a single apology. In fact, some of them have lifelong
consequences.” Landon lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly. “From now on, you will stay in your
room quietly until you get married. Don’t me the heavens for your predicament or even think of
taking out your anger on innocent people. If there’s anyone you should me, it would be yourself for
being such a smart mouth.”
This was not only a reminder to Georgia, but also a warning.
She would be making a huge mistake if she chose to me Rachel for the incident today.
From now on, there would be no blood rtionship between himself and Georgia. She was effectively
disowned.
After such an incident, Landon was too embarrassed to remain. He found an excuse and left hurriedly.
Seeing him leave, Thomas and Jimmy took their leave too.
After everyone had left, Rachel and David finally turned to leave.
Out of the corner of her eye, Rachel spotted ckhawk leaning against a Roman pir with his arms
crossed.
The man’s eyes were narrowed as though he were making secret calctions in his mind.
Rachel gestured for David to go back first. After he left, she walked over to ckhawk and said quietly,
“I had to give her some face.”
“Since when did you be so reasonable?” ckhawk turned around and leanedzily against the
pir. He scanned Rachel calctingly from head to toe. “The Twelve I know has always been
vengeful. Humiliating your enemies has never been a problem for you.”
If it were up to ckhawk, he would have yed Georgia within an inch of her life. Well, if he didn’t kill
her, that is.
How dare she make up rumors about Twelve in front of him? Was she tired of living?
“Probably because her brother is a friend of the man I love?” Rachel said self-mockingly.
Hearing this, ckhawk felt overwhelmed with disgust. Looking at her contemptuously, he said, “Little
girl, listen to your older brother’s advice. Romance is romance. Don’t take a man too seriously or treat
him too nicely. Most importantly, don’t let yourself suffer for his sake.”
He unfolded his arms and ced a heavy hand on Rachel’s shoulder. With a serious expression, he
said earnestly, “Apart from yourself, there’s nothing else in this world that’s worthy of your suffering.”
Everyone in the Red me Army treated Rachel like their younger sister.
Of course, other than a certain animalistic captain who lusted over her for five or six years.
Hearing his words, Rachel’s heart was filled with warmth. The corners of her eyes crinkled faintly with a
smile, and she asked, “When are you leaving?”
“I’ll leave after I send you off,” ckhawk said as he took his phone from his pocket. Giving Rachel’s
neck a little pinch, he said, “Come on, let’s take a photo before anyone disturbs you. I have to go back
to report on my assignment!”
“Sigh…
Rachel was caught off guard as ckhawk pointed the camera straight at her. She hurriedly reached
out to block it, but ckhawk managed to snap a photo of her panicked expression.
After taking the photo, ckhawk left with a satisfied expression.
Seeing him leave, Rachel could not help but smile helplessly.
She turned around and looked at the sky above her.
Perhaps it was because she was in a foreignnd, but she felt the stars here were never as bright as
those in Seaxas.
Fortunately, they were about to return home.
As she was thinking, she heard familiar footsteps behind her.
