Chapter 1440


    "Hey, what are you doing? ying possum?" The woman was tapping Hertha’s car window. Upon


    seeing the person inside slumped over, she began to bang on the ss with even more fury.


    She thought the driver was faking to dodge responsibility.


    Peering through the window, she spotted the crimson blood trickling down the woman''s face,


    staining her neck. Her hair was scattered over her shoulders, partially covering her face, but the


    shocking blood drew the eye.


    A shiver ran down Georgia''s spine. Crap, the driver''s bleeding, she really passed out, and she''s not


    faking it.


    She hurriedly pulled open the car door, which thankfully was unlocked as the driver had been about


    to get out and deal with the ident.


    The door swung open with Georgia''s tug, and she leaned in close to the driver, gently shaking her


    by the clothes, her voiceced with anxious concern, "Hey, are you alright?"


    No response came, so Georgia nudged the driver''s forehead with her index finger, gently lifting the


    woman''s head, "Do you need me to call for an ambnce?"


    She couldn''t finish her sentence, her voice catching in her throat.

    She got a clear look at the woman''s face – those long, curledshes, the slightly chubby cheeks, it


    was Hertha!


    The sight of Hertha froze the goodwill on Georgia''s face instantly, a sh of anger and hatred swept


    through her eyes, and she quickly let go of Hertha and stepped back.


    Standing by the car, watching Hertha passed out inside, Georgia''s breathing was ragged, fury


    churning within her.


    Seeing Hertha injured, especially a head wound with unstoppable bleeding, filled Georgia with an


    unprecedented sense of satisfaction.


    This wretched woman had beenpeting with her for ric for the past three years!


    ric had once turned down a strategic marriage with the Reed family for her.


    And now, engaged to her, it was Hertha''s appearance that made ric insist on breaking off their


    engagement, even willing to give up his position as CEO of the Falconer family empire just to be rid


    of her!


    ric''s determination to call off their engagement was all thanks to one person – Hertha.


    Before Hertha came along, she and ric had their fights, but he had never mentioned breaking off


    the engagement, and certainly not with such resolve.


    Since Hertha caught ric''s eye, he had been adamant about canceling the engagement with


    Georgia. He was ready to turn his back on the support of the Reed family and the vice-presidency


    of the Falconer Group, all to break off the engagement, even saying how being an ordinary civilian


    wasn''t so bad!


    He actually wanted to give up his life of privilege to live a mundane life with Hertha.


    Infuriated by ric''s unwavering stance, Georgia felt like her head was about to explode. She


    desperately wanted ric to change his mind and marry her in an instant.


    But however fervent her wished, she felt utterly powerless to change the reality of the situation.


    Georgia had sought advice from her mother, who always asked her to keep her cool.


    But how could she stay calm when ric was about to annul their engagement and run off to


    Hertha?


    Just moments ago, her car was stopped at a traffic light in the middle of a phone call with her


    mother,ining about her predicament and begging for a solution to get ric to marry her


    soon.


    She was so engrossed in the conversation that she didn''t notice the light turn green and was still on


    the call when her car was suddenly rear-ended.
