Chapter 319


    Back at the horse ranch, the manager of the horse ranch did not dare to let anyone ride the horses


    after that incident. Instead, he gathered all the horses and checked every one of them.


    Since Oscar was free, he stood by the side and watched what was happening.


    The rest of the bystanders heard that the horse had almost knocked into someone, but no one knew


    who it was. When they saw such a bigmotion, they stuck around and waited for the investigation


    results despite the temporary shutdown.


    When Aidan and Leanne came over, the manager dashed to wee them and invite them into the


    lounge. “President Pearson. You must be… Mrs. Pearson, I’m sorry for the mistake our clubhouse has


    made today. The clubhouse will be responsible forpensating all your losses.”


    “This is not what I wanted to hear.”


    The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Yes, you’re right, President Pearson. The


    investigation has been concluded. There was a nail on the horse’s butt. The ranch’s fences were being


    revamped this afternoon and the nail somehow—”


    Then, Aidan coldly used, “You mean to say the nail pinned itself to the horse’s butt? Or do you want


    to say that it deliberately sat on the nail?”


    Feeling his legs trembling, the manager was at a loss for how to answer.


    It was obvious that someone had done this on purpose. However, those who came to this clubhouse


    were either rich or powerful, so the manager did not want to offend any of them, which was why he was


    afraid to specte.


    It would not matter if the horse was frightened, but why did it have to charge in this couple’s direction?


    Aidan ordered, “I want the list of whoever that was in the ranch this afternoon.”


    Hearing that, the manager did not dare to refuse Aidan, so he quickly went to find the list.


    When Aidan saw Georgina’s name on the list, he was not the slightest bit surprised.


    His expression became even darker as he asked, “Where is Georgina?”


    The manager replied, “Miss Crossley just came out of the hospital, so she must be leaving the


    clubhouse and on her way home.”


    With his eyes gently raised, he ordered emotionlessly, “Get her here.”


    Obviously, the manager was afraid to provoke Georgina, so he stammered, “P-President Pearson, but


    —”


    “Tell her that if she doesn’te over, I’ll immediately head to Crossley Group to find Lloyd Crossley.”


    When the manager heard that, he was tense yet relieved. That way, he would not have to provoke her


    because he would only be rying Aidan’s words.


    During that whole process, Leanna did not even say a word.


    A frightened horse could indeed be ruled as an ident. However, a nail on it, which meant it was


    done by someone else.


    It was not her intention to assume such bad things about Georgina, but with what had happened


    previously, it was tough not to be suspicious of her.


    In other words, besides her, there was not anyone else who could do such a thing.


    Half an hourter, Georgina finally appeared. She sat on you looking for me?”


    Then, Aidan ced the long nail retrieved from the horse before her.


    After taking a look at it, she asked, “What’s this?”


    Leanna exined, “A horse from the horse ranch was attacked and frightened. This nail was retrieved


    from it.”


    Smiling, Georgina argued, “ording to what you’re saying, Miss McKinney, it seems like I have


    something to do with the horse being frightened?”


    While saying that, she looked at Aidan. “Did you call me back because of this?”


    With a stoic face, Aidan replied, “Of course not.”


    “If so, then what’s all this for? Aidan, you threatened me convince others that you’re not deliberately


    challenging me.”


    When she said thosest few words, she purposely looked at Leanna.


    Aidan asked, “You said you were hurt. Where did you get hurt?”


    Once he said that, Georgina’s face paled and she did not reply.


    He continued, “If I guessed correctly, you went to the hospital to or Leanna who got hurt. Am I right?”


    Quickly regaining herposure, Georgina protested, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I went to


    the hospital because I got injured, but I think that I have no obligations to tell you about such private


    matters.”


    “I can find the doctor and ask to know whether you’re really injured.”


    Georgina’s face paled. “What are you implying? I’m not a criminal who’s being interrogated. Aidan, I–”


    Aidan interrupted her. “You should know better about what you did.”


    Smiling, she turned her attention to the person beside him. “Miss McKinney, is this how you usually


    speak of me before Aidan?”


    Having suddenly been cued, Leanna smiled. “Miss Crossley, you have such quick reflexes.”


    She directly jumped from one topic to another. Then, Georgina argued, “Should I stick around and let


    you use me if I didn’t have such quick reflexes? Miss McKinney, I did want to be your friend, but


    you’ve said that I should keep my distance from Aidan and never think of having any rtionship with


    him for the rest of my life. What about now?


    “Miss Crossley, did you sincerely want to be my friend? Or did you approach me with a purpose? I think


    that’s something only you would know.”


    “I think your words are interesting. Why would I approach you with a purpose? Back then, you were the


    ex-wife everyone despised, so what could I get out of you?”


    “If so, then how would you exin your actions now, Miss Crossley? Is it your way of revenge because


    your engagement was canceled? If that’s the reason, then you can’t evenpare with me, the ex-wife


    that everyone despised. At least I did things openly and transparently, but what about you, Miss


    Crossley?”


    Since Georgina liked to use the fact that she was Aidan’s ex-wife to annoy her, then she would just use


    it to get back at her. After all, Georgina was not the only one with a mouth.


    Meanwhile, Oscar and a few rich young masters anddies came over to watch the ‘show’. However,


    when they neared the door, they just happened to hear the two women arguing and instantly retreated


    quietly.


    The war between women was the most terrifying.


    After sneering, Georgina ridiculed. “What’s there to be proud of when you used a fake pregnancy to get


    Aidan to marry you?”

    “How about you, Miss Crossley? Don’t tell me you didn’t use any schemes?”


    With two fingers pressed together, Aidan pressed them against his temples as he felt a headache


    coming.


    At that moment, the manager could not endure it anymore. He was afraid a fight might break out


    between the two women, so he asked timidly, “Miss Crossley, President Pearson… Mrs. Pearson, why


    don’t we talk about…the ident just now?”


    With a cold expression, Georgina argued, “I said I don’t have anything to do with that. What do you


    want me to say?


    Aidan stated, “The ranch had its fences revamped today, and in order to track their progress, there


    would be cameras recording the process. Do you want me to give it to the media or do you want to


    admit your doings now?”


    It seemed that Georgina might not have expected this, so she instantly froze without uttering a word.


    She knew the fences were being revamped today, which was why she took a nail while no one was


    looking. However, her attention was all on Leanna, so she did not take notice of her surroundings.


    Therefore, she was not sure if the cameras Aidan mentioned were true.
