Chapter 1169


    "Mom, how''d you know those two wore each other outst night?" Angelina asked with curiosity.


    Being a woman of the world herself and a mother of a grown son, she could read between the lines of


    Beatrice''s insinuation, that the young lovebirds was reveling in passion the night before.


    "Of course I know," Beatrice replied, her smile was widening, and there was a twinkle of knowing


    mischief in her eyes. "I personally prepared the soup they had. And I even delivered them milkter."


    Angelina was astonished.


    Without further question, she knew there was something up with the milk – they were likely the kind


    that made the young ones restless and unable to keep their hands off each other.

    Seeing Angelina''s gobsmacked expression, Beatrice simply chuckled and returned to her breakfast


    without another word.


    After they finished eating, Remington reached out his hand to Beatrice, suggesting, "Let''s take a stroll


    in the garden to work off some of that breakfast."


    Beatrice ced her hand in his, and together, supporting one another, they left the dining room for a


    walk in the garden.


    Left alone at the table, Angelina felt a cloud of gloom overshadow her mood instead of joy.


    She was just poking at her food when her phone buzzed – it was a call from Georgia Reed’s mother,


    Juliet.


    Angelina hurriedly answered.


    After a bit of small talk, Juliet got straight to the point, "My husband says that if ric marries Georgia,


    the Reeds will back him all the way. We''ll help him rise in the Falconers, and eventually, he''ll be at the


    helm. Look at Jeremiah Falconer now – he''s at his peak and having so many shareholders in his


    pocket. If ric doesn''t step up soon, he''ll miss his chance."


    Angelina''s heart sank. She was already worried, and Juliet''s words only added to her anxiety.


    Jeremiah, ric''s cousin, was indeed way more promising than ric, and Remington seemed


    inclined to pass the CEO baton to him.


    Despite appearing hands-off, the old man still held the ultimate decision-making power. He cared only


    for who could keep thepany reins tight and profitable.


    With Jeremiah about to tie the knot with a Suttner heiress and gain Suttners'' backing, he was set to be


    the victor.


    Then ric would always be one step behind and never able to turn the tables.


    If they didn''t seize the current opportunity, ric''s future would be even bleaker.


    "Juliet, don''t you worry. ric is absolutely set on marrying Georgia. She''s such a catch – beautiful and


    sweet. It''s ric''s good fortune to have her," Angelina assured Georgia''s mother with a smile.


    "Well then, let''s set a date for their engagement ceremony and get the wedding ns rolling to bolster


    ric''s position sooner rather thanter," Juliet pressed, her eagerness fueled by her lovely daughter''s


    affection for ric.


    "I''ll talk to ric and get back to you ASAP. You have my word," Angelina promised.


    After some more pleasantries, they ended the call.


    Angelina''s lips curled into a chilling smile, and she gestured for her to sit, "Please, have breakfast.


    Eloise, bring out Ms. Kensington''s breakfast from the kitchen."


    Hertha was not a coward; she was determined to fight for what she wanted.


    Dr?мanоvels


    As Eloise set the breakfast before Hertha, earning a thankful nod, Hertha politely began, "About ric


    and I..."


    "ric''s had his share of women; you''re not the first he''s brought home," Angelina interjected before


    Hertha could finish, her voiceced with a chilling mirth.


    Hertha felt a sting in her heart as her smile froze in ce.
