Chapter 1229


    After that night, Hertha began to distance herself from him, even taking his mother''s money before


    leaving! Could it really be because she found himcking?


    Wasn''t she satisfied that night?


    No, she''s a woman who''s just tasted the forbidden fruit. How could she know enough to be dissatisfied


    with him?


    After her deration, Hertha prepared to continue her drinking spree by picking up her ss.


    ric watched her with blurry, drunken eyes. He reached out, snatched the ss from her hand and


    mmed it down onto the table with a thud.


    Hertha was like a cat with its tail stepped on. She instantly bristled, ring at ric. "What the hell are


    you doing? You think you''re too good for us, don''t you?" she snapped.


    Her emphasis on "us" was heavy, her eyes burning with anger and mockery to cover the sadness in


    them.


    Considering her intoxicated state, ric tried not to take her harsh words to heart.


    He took a deep breath, trying to keep his emotions in check, and asked, "You keep using me of


    tattling—what''s that about? And who exactly are ''us''?"


    He had this nagging feeling that Hertha was being particrly prickly towards him tonight, as if she had


    an axe to grind.


    But there had to be a reason for her sharp change, didn''t there?


    Hertha let out a sarcasticugh. "Have the guts to ask, do you? I simply wanted Thssa to meet


    someone, and you go calling Lysander, telling him she''s seeing another guy! Causing trouble between


    Thssa and Lysander, just to make me miserable, to give me heartache? What, it''s fine for you to


    court Georgia Reed, but heaven forbid I look for my own love?" Hertha used.


    Yes, it was she who had called ric here. She''d summoned him to settle the score!


    She really hadn''t expected him to be such a snitch!


    Hearing Hertha''s words, the anger ric had been suppressing was on the verge of breaking free.


    He gritted his teeth, exhaled deeply and tried desperately to keep his cool. "Yes, your quest for love is


    so noble, beyond reproach!" he said, his words dripping with sarcasm.


    "So you''re admitting you tattled?" Hertha''s tipsy gaze fixed on him, searching for a definitive answer.


    ric nced at her. "Even if I had a problem with you, I wouldn''t stoop to upsetting Lysander and


    Thssa''s rtionship."


    But he hadn''t expected to be thought of like this!


    In her eyes, he was the sort of man who would sabotage Lysander and Thssa''s rtionship just to

    make Hertha feel guilty!


    Even to be seen as a backstabber, a snitch, someone who enjoyed making others look bad!


    Being misunderstood like this, ric felt deeply hurt.


    "Really not you?" Hertha questioned, puzzled.


    "Hertha! Don''t push me to my limit," ric finally lost his grip on his temper and said angrily. Updated at

    He did not like being misjudged.


    "I''m just double-checking." Hertha rolled her eyes at him.
