Chapter 17 Provocative Tactic
Surprisingly, the woman had gotten pregnant. Nicolas had always wanted to have a son. After confirming she was pregnant with his seed, he had taken her in. The woman had gained enough benefits for her family in the name of Nicolas. But when Georgina was born and found to be a girl, Nicolas had left on the spot and hadn't been to the Baker family's house again.
Georgina had practically grown up with her mother. Heidi eventually gave up and accepted the fact that she couldn't have children before she brought all of Nicolas's love children to the Sterling family's house. At that time, Georgina was an unlearned teenager, and her bad character was just too obvious.
Georgina inherited her mother's sharp tongue and could scold people so fiercely that even someone as experienced as Jacquelyn was left speechless and momentarily forgot to shoot back.
Unfortunately for Georgina, Burton happened to return from his walk. He overheard his granddaughter's fierce scolding and saw his new wife silently standing there with red eyes. His hands shook, and in a fit of pique, he smashed a vase. That was right. Smashing things was a family thing.
Georgina saw his angry face, but it was too late for her to switch back to her innocent mode. Her wry face only annoyed Burton even more.
From the servants, he learned that his grandson was hurt. Irritated, he used the same techniques he had used to teach his son a lesson.
In short, it was a severe punishment.
There hadn't been a tradition of hitting girls in the Sterling family, and the servants rushed to find Nicolas. Hillary was retelling Nicolas and his wife what had happened that morning. Before she could mention that Jason seemed to have an unusual relationship with Rejoyla, the servant interrupted, and they hurried over. Nicolas wasn't worried about Georgina, but about Burton's advanced age and health.
