Chapter 1453


    Even if it meant shattering her pride, ric was determined to eject Georgia from the hospital room.


    No matter how fierce or defiant Georgia was, her frail figure stood no chance against ric''s


    towering presence. With a significant height and strength advantage, ric easily ushered her out


    of the room despite her struggles. He even had the audacity to shut the door behind him, ensuring


    that Hertha could rest without disturbance from themotion outside.


    ric’s actions struck directly at Georgia''s heart.


    He knew exactly how to push her buttons. The more she loathed something, the more meticulously


    he''d go about it, punctuating his every move with infuriating precision.


    She couldn''t stand the thought of him caring for Hertha, yet there he was, handling her roughly


    while showing the utmost care to close the door gently, as if the mere whisper of sound would


    shatter Hertha''s peace.


    Blinded by rage, Georgia''s hand flew up, aiming a p at ric''s face.


    She was a spoiled heiress, pampered and adored by her parents all her life. Impulsive and


    unbridled, she never considered the consequences of her actions.


    Anger demanded release.


    Georgia’s face twisted in fury, her hand cut through the air, aiming for the wless canvas that was


    ric''s face.


    But moments before her strike couldnd, her wrist was caught in an iron grip.


    "Georgia, I''ve had enough of you!" ric snarled, his voice a frigidsh as he held her wrist. "Get


    out! I don''t want to see your face again!"


    With that, he flung her hand away.


    Stumbling backward, Georgia barely managed to steady herself when she saw ric pull out his


    phone and dial. "Mom,e to Starhaven Hospital and take Georgia away. From today onward,


    you either lose the Reed family as your inws or you lose me as your son. Your choice!"


    "No, don''t call Angelina!" Georgia realized ric was phoning his mother and lunged for the phone.


    Her brazenness stemmed from the belief that Angelina wouldn''t easily allow ric to call off the


    engagement with the Reed family. If ric disowned even his own mother, then Georgia knew she


    would truly be out of options.


    As she pounced, ric held the phone just out of reach. In her haste, Georgia stumbled right into


    his arms.


    The very second their bodies touched, ric caught the acrid scent of her heiress arrogance. His


    face contorted with disgust, ready to shove her away, when a voiceced with mockery rang out.


    "Cozying up at the door of Hertha''s hospital room doesn''t seem quite appropriate, does it?"


    ric turned towards the voice and saw Thssa approaching down the hallway, apanied by


    a tall, slender woman he didn''t recognize.


    Upon seeing Thssa, ric felt the same rush of anxiety he experienced with Hertha, worried


    about being misunderstood. He steadied Georgia by her shoulders and pushed her away with


    visible disdain. "Do I need your permission to call my mother? Georgia, you''re overstepping your


    bounds! Leave now! I can''t stand another second in your presence!"


    Pushed aside, Georgia felt ric''s contempt piercing her like a stiletto heel, further wounding her


    already battered heart.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Consumed by pain and anger, she trembled with fury, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug


    into her palms, yet she felt no pain.


    "Why should I leave?" she roared. "Hertha rear-ended my car. She''s entirely at fault and owes me


    two million in damages!"
