Chapter 2030


    ?


    Georgia found herself on the receiving end of ric and Hertha''s bewildered and shocked stares. She immediately realized she''d put her foot in it. As Hertha''s interrogation bore down on her, Georgia felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach, her feet inching backward in retreat.


    "I, I didn''t say anything," Georgia stammered, wishing she could take back her words. But once words are out, they''re like spilled milk-impossible to gather up again. Didn''t she understand such a simple truth?Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Really, Georgia? You should know, it''s easy for us to take you to the hospital for checks to see if you''ve been pregnant before or if you''re still pure," Hertha said, arms crossed as she advanced step by step towards Georgia.


    Hertha''s imposing approach made Georgia step back further; she''d never seen Hertha wield such authority. It was as if Hertha was the untouchable heiress, backed by unshakeable confidence and powerful support. And Georgia? She felt like amoner, ignorant and insignificant.


    Backed into a corner, Georgia spat out defiantly, "You wouldn''t dare! If youy a finger on me, I''ll call the cops on you in a heartbeat!"


    "Go ahead, call them. It''s about time we talk to the cops about your so-called doctor rtive who''s been fabricating medical reports. That''s a crime, you know," Hertha retorted, unfazed by Georgia''s threat.


    Georgia looked desperately at ric, "ric, our families have business ties. Are you really going to let her bully me like this? If our families cut ties, yours stands to lose a lot!"


    Her eyes pleaded for help, but her words wereced with arrogance. She had used this tactic before, pressuring ric into submission. She thought it would work again.


    But what she didn''t realize was


    ric had had enough of her


    threats. He had once thought Hertha was out of reach, married to Spencer and that he and Georgia, having been intimate and pushed together by their families, should give their arranged engagement a chance. Maybe they could make it work.


    But Georgia''s escting demands had pushed him to his limit. Fed up, ric cut ties with the Falconer family to free himself from the engagement.


    "I have no ties with the Falconer


    family anymore. Their losses are none of my concern. I''m Hertha''s fiancé now, and I only listen to her. If she wants me to drive you to the hospital for a check-up, I won''t hesitate," ric said, his resolve crystal clear.


    Georgia''s arrogance crumbled at his words.


    ric added, "You bettere clean about what happened three years ago. You have five minutes to gather your thoughts. After that, we''re taking action and you''re off to the hospital for a check-up."


    He cracked his knuckles, signaling he was ready to act on his word. Understanding Hertha''s motives fully now ric realized she was seeking the truth about that night three years ago. Despite his difort with Hertha''s blunt approach, ric knew


    t was necessary.
