Chapter 1454


    "What did you just say?" ric nced at Georgia in disbelief.


    Indeed, ric had called the traffic cops to get the scoop on the ident, but he hadn''t gotten the


    nitty-gritty, only that Hertha had rear-ended someone. Little did he expect that the other party


    involved was Georgia!


    Thssa was equally shocked. "You mean, Hertha''s car crash happened because she collided with


    you?"


    When Thssa had arrived, she was puzzled as to how a simple fender-bender could have left


    Hertha so severely injured. But knowing that Georgia was the other driver, it all made sense.


    "Exactly. She rear-ended my car and ended up seriously injuring herself. I called the ambnce


    right away, but who knew she''d be driving like a bat out of hell and end up like this. The police have


    already determined fault - it''s all on Hertha! My car''s been totaled because of her, and she needs to


    compensate me for the entire vehicle! If it hadn''t been for the airbags in my car, I''d be the one in the


    hospital with serious injuries."


    Georgia stood with her chin held high, her voice fierce and unapologetic, devoid of guilt or remorse.


    If she hadn''t wasted time, Hertha might have gotten treatment sooner and wouldn''t be in such a bad


    state. But Georgia didn''t show a shred of such sentiment.


    "I''ll pay you the two million. Now get out," ric''s normally yful eyes hardened with suppressed


    anger. He spoke with certainty and determination to Georgia, pointing to the exit, signaling her to


    scram.


    "You''re paying for her?" Georgia red up like a cat with its tail stepped on, ring at ric. "What


    are you to her, and what right do you have to pay for her? ric, everything you have now was


    granted to you by the Reed family. Your money is mine. Isn''t it ridiculous that you''re using my


    money to pay me back?"


    Georgia was trembling with rage.


    ric''s eyes gleamed with sarcasm as he suddenly chuckled. "Georgia, every business venture is


    my own doing. What does the money I''ve made have to do with the Reed family? You''re not even


    married to me yet, and you''re already eyeing all my assets. What, once we''re married, I be


    nothing but your cash cow?"


    Hearing her own schemesid bare, Georgia''s haughty demeanor faltered, and she looked away,


    stammering, "I didn''t mean it like that. I just meant, we''re going to get married eventually, and after


    marriage, our assets would be shared."


    "Who says I''m marrying you? Go back to your family and clear this up!" ric grabbed Georgia by


    the sleeve and dragged her away.


    Her shouting was disturbing Hertha''s rest. He had told Georgia to leave, but she clung on,


    continuing to make a scene that would only disturb Hertha further.


    ric had stayed because there was no one else to look after Hertha, but now with Thssa here,


    he could drag Georgia away with a clear conscience.


    Despite her protests, Georgia followed as ric pulled her along.


    All her annoyance stemmed from ric being with Hertha. As long as ric left and wasn''t by


    Hertha''s side, Georgia would feel a bit better. So, she was happy to leave with ric.


    ric moved quickly, and it wasn''t long before he and Georgia were gone.


    Thssa took a deep breath, twisted the doorknob of the hospital room, and stepped inside.


    Upon seeing Hertha, her head wrapped in gauze, lying motionless on the bed, the sight pierced


    Thssa''s heart like a red-hot needle, bringing tears to her eyes.


    Worriedly, she rushed to Hertha''s bedside. Seeing her in such a frail state, Thssa''s breath caught


    in her throat. This scene brought back memories- ones she had seen before with Lysander.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
