Georgia was dragging her heels, not ready to leave. It had been ages since she last saw Alaric, and now, after hardly exchanging a few words, she was being pulled away. How could she possibly be okay with that?
Angelina tugged at her, but Georgia kept looking back at Alaric with longing eyes.
There he was, Alaric, hands braced on the diner’s table, head bowed, the very picture of defeat and disinterest. Not a single look of longing for her, not a glance her way.
Just one look at Alaric, and Georgia’s heart twisted in pain, her annoyance biting at her lower lip.
She had poured all her love into this man, yearning to be with him against all odds, and yet he wouldn’t even spare her a glance!
Georgia was heartbroken, furious!
How could she possibly be inferior to Hertha? When it came to family background, she was leagues above Hertha!
In terms of looks, she was slim and stylish, miles ahead of the pudgy Hertha!
But Alaric, oh Alaric, had eyes only for Hertha!

Angelina could sense another one of her tantrums brewing and hurriedly pulled her away.
Once they hit the sidewalk, Georgia couldn’t take it anymore. She shook off Angelina’s grasp and screamed out loud, “Ah!”
Angelina quickly covered her mouth, “What are you doing? People will think you’re nuts!”
Georgia pushed her hand away, panting, “Why? Why doesn’t Alaric like me! That wench Hertha, she’s already had kids with another man, and he’s still hung up on her!”
Seeing Georgia in such a state, Angelina was speechless, disappointed. Her tantrums were infamous, ready to explode at any moment.
No wonder Alaric wasn’t interested.
Who would fancy a woman with such a sharp tongue, sparing no one’s feelings?
If it weren’t for the prestige of the
Whitman family, she wouldn’t want
to spend another minute with Georgia, let alone play matchmaker with her own son! Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Georgia’s only saving grace was her affluent background.
“Georgia, calm down. Let’s dig into Hertha’s past first. Knowing your enemy is the key to victory,” Angelina tried to soothe her. Ads by PubFuture
Georgia glared at Angelina, “Why bother investigating that tramp Hertha? She’s already had kids with another man. How is someone so low worth my time?”
Angelina sighed inwardly. There’s nothing worse than someone who won’t listen to reason.
Georgia was a lost cause, squandering every advantage she had.
Three years ago, she had the upper hand, having spent a night with Alaric, which led to their engagement. All she needed to do was play her cards right, and Alaric would have married her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
After all, Alaric had benefited from the Whitmans, climbing to the position of Vice President.
With time and a little push from the Whitmans, Georgia and Alaric could have easily tied the knot.
But Georgia, with her arrogance, was
always at odds with Alaric,

Frustrated, Alaric had called off their engagement.
Georgia’s current predicament was entirely of her own making.
“If you don’t want to dig deeper, then let’s drop it and head back,” Angelina said, no longer willing to argue, and led Georgia home.
After dropping Georgia off, Angelina wasted no time in contacting her connections to thoroughly investigate Hertha.
