Chapter 1193


    Hertha had already talked about marriage with Spencer now.


    To Hertha, ric thought he was probably just a punchline to some private joke.


    Oh, the irony. ric, the dashing heir to the Falconer fortune, a man who moved through social soirees


    with a swagger, always had women moring for his attention, eager to share his bed.


    He was the one who ended flings, never the one left high and dry.


    And yet, Hertha had yed him for a fool, took his money, and left.


    Thinking she could just walk away, tie the knot with someone else without anyplications? As if.


    Did she really think she could treat ric like a pushover?


    Fuming, ric''s muscles tensed as he stormed off to his Porsche and sped away.


    Spencer didn''t notice anything strange at all, and with the happy feeling that he was about to make


    things right with Hertha, he got in his car and drove away.


    Hertha, meanwhile, was driving with her friend Thssa to the Royal Estates.


    "What did you and ric talk about just now?" Thssa asked.


    She had stepped aside at the restroom to give Hertha and ric a moment alone.


    But after their chat, Hertha seemed even more upset.


    "He threw some snide remarks my way, I snapped back, and that was that. No deep conversation,"


    Hertha exined.


    "Are you two still ying this ''I''m mad at you, and you''re mad at me'' game?" Thssa couldn''t help but


    find the humor in their dynamic, "Are you really ready to give up on him?"


    "He and I are from different worlds. There''s no hope, so what''s there to give up on?" Hertha replied,


    sounding like a philosopher suddenly, her words deep and meaningful.


    "You don''t want to end up like me, do you?" Thssa''s voice dropped, tinged with sadness. She knew


    Hertha well. Despite her tough exterior and carefree attitude, Hertha was the clear-headed one who


    never lost sight of what was truly important.


    Hertha gripped the steering wheel firmly, ncing at Thssa. After hearing Angelina''s words, she''d


    decided to take the money and run,rgely considering Thssa''s current predicament.


    She feared ending up in an awkward and difficult situation like Thssa''s—bing someone''s


    secret lover, without any official status, even if children were involved, not being acknowledged by the


    elite.


    And if she wanted to leave, it wouldn''t be easy. The possessiveness of men like ric was


    overwhelming; if he didn''t let go, she couldn''t leave.

    Hertha was determined not to end up like Thssa, which was why she had resolutely taken the


    money and left, at least to preserve her freedom.


    It was just a man, after all. There would be others.


    "I actually admire your courage," Thssa confessed sincerely.


    As they were talking, suddenly, a figure burst in front of the car, arms wide, trying to stop them. Read at

    But the car wouldn''t stop on a dime, and it hurtled straight toward the person. Hertha''s heart leaped to


    her throat.


    Thssa gasped in shock, bracing for impact.
