Chapter 1406


    Hertha''s round, doe-like eyes fixed on Georgia with a fiery re, irritation ready to spill from her lips in a heated tirade.


    But suddenly, ric extricated his arm from Georgia''s grasp, casting her an annoyed nce. "Georgia, cussing someone out as


    soon as you see them, is that what you''d call cultured? Don''t make me think you haven''t even finished elementary school!"


    Atric''s words, the anger boiling inside Hertha simmered down to a mere half of its fury.


    What was going on?


    Was ric actually standing up for her?


    Wasn''t Georgia his fiancée?


    Three years prior, ric and Georgia''s engagement party had set the town of Starhaven abuzz, with every major media outlet


    moring to cover the event. The ceremony was bothvish and grand, and itsted two days—much more extravagant than


    most engagement parties.


    Hertha wanted nothing to do with news about ric, wishing to remain ignorant of his engagement to Georgia.


    But television, social media, news alerts—everywhere she turned, the splendor of ric and Georgia''s engagement was


    broadcasted.


    Even if there was a shred of longing left in Hertha for ric, it was thoroughly extinguished by the grandeur of that engagement


    party.


    Three years after their engagement, Hertha didn''t know why ric and Georgia hadn''t wed, but she was certain they had been


    intimate.


    She didn''t know how many times, but she was crystal clear about one instance—they had truly slept together.


    If once they''d shared a bed, then surely there must have been more after their engagement.


    Now, ric was not siding with his own fiancée but defending her, an outsider.


    This took Hertha by surprise.


    The harsh words she had prepared for Georgia were swallowed back.


    Georgia''s arm, once entwined with ric''s, was released into the air, and her heart followed suit.


    Hearing ric''s reproach, she pouted in hurt, "She was the one being rude to you. | was just sticking up for you, ric. How can


    you me me?"Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    "She''s right. We should both mind our own business!" ric retorted, his gaze at Georgiaced with disdain.


    From the moment his mother had tried to set him up with Georgia, ric had never taken a liking to her.


    Three years ago, ending up in bed with Georgia was the result of his drunkenness—he had dreamed she was Hertha, only to


    wake up and find Georgia beside him.


    It was a mistake that gnawed at him.

    Georgia was no pushover. Raised in thep of luxury, she was the precious darling of her household, coddled and adored.


    She got everything she wanted. No one dared to scorn or reprimand her. Who was ric to reproach her over another woman?


    The one thing Georgia loathed the most was swallowing her pride.
