Chapter 1236


    Georgia approached the hotel front desk, her heart pounding in her chest as she spotted two police


    officers poring over guest registrations. It appeared to be a routine check to ensure all guest


    information was urate and up-to-date.


    "Hi there, I''m staying in room 2203," Georgia announced, stepping forward to make herself known to


    the authorities.


    One of the officers looked at her skeptically, "The room was registered under a gentleman''s name, with


    an expired passport."


    Georgia''s face flushed with anxiety as she quickly tried to exin the mix-up. "He''s my boyfriend. He

    didn''t realize his passport had expired, so he identally used it for the booking. If there''s a problem, I


    can give you my info instead." She held out her driver''s license as she spoke.


    The officer didn''t take the card from her, still uncertain. "You im to be this man''s girlfriend. Do you


    have any proof?"


    Georgia felt her temper rising at the question. She had a notorious bad temper, but the thought of ric


    and Hertha, still asleep and potentially waiting for her toe back and, well, ''seal the deal'' with ric,


    made her reconsider her immediate reaction.


    She took a deep breath, reining in her anger, and addressed the officer with as muchposure as


    she could muster. "The gentleman''s name is ric, he''s the second son of the Falconer Group. I''m


    Georgia, the Reed Group heiress. There''s been talk of our engagement all over the news. You can look


    it up if you don''t believe me."


    The officer nced at the name on the driver’s license – indeed it read ''Georgia'' – and his partner


    quickly checked the news on his phone. There, prominently featured in recent headlines, was the news


    of a proposed union between the Reed and Falconer families.


    "Ah, my apologies, Mr. Falconer and Ms. Reed. Your rtionship is not in question," the officer said


    after confirming the news.


    "But why would Mr. Falconer use an expired passport knowingly?" the other officer asked, still cautious.


    Georgia fought off a wave of panic, "He was drunk, not really aware of what he was doing. I apologize


    on his behalf."


    Her politeness seemed to do the trick. "No harm done. Just make sure it doesn''t happen again, Ms.


    Reed. We''ll update the registration with your information, and then you can get some rest," the second


    officer said, handing Georgia''s license back to the hotel clerk for the records.


    Georgia nodded her thanks to the officers, turned, and headed back to her room. As soon as she was


    out of sight, her face twisted into a grimace. She was furious at the interruption and eager to get back


    to her schemes.


    Back in front of the room, she opened the door, her heart leaping with anticipation as she prepared to


    approach ric. But the sounds that greeted her stopped her. In the dim light, she could make out the


    silhouettes of two figures on the bed, moving together in a rhythm of passion, their breaths heavy and


    intertwined.


    The other bed was empty.


    Georgia wanted to scream, to rage, but she feared drawing the attention of the police. Tears streamed


    down her face, her sobs muffled by her own hand mped over her mouth. Updated at
