Chapter 119 Do You Have to Treat Me Like That?
The charity dinner came in the blink of an eye. After arriving at Lux, Leanna contacted Georgina to inform her that she had completed the products. “I’m a little busy these two days, so I might not have the time to collect it. By the way, I hear that Lux Magazine will be at the charity dinner tomorrow. Since you’re their jewelry designer, I’m sure you’ll attend the event, right, Miss McK?”
“Yeah,” Leanna replied.
“Great. You can pass it to me tomorrow then, Miss McK.” The main target of the Barnett Group’s charity dinner was the wealthy families in town. So, it was no surprise that Georgina was invited to it. “Sure,” Leanna replied.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” Georgina uttered with a smile. After they ended the call, Leanna placed the custom-made necklace into her bag before visiting Harvey’s office to hand him the products that were to be auctioned at the charity the next day.
…
Meanwhile, Carly was at home, organizing the jewelry pieces that were to be sold the next day. “Are we really going to auction these pieces, Georgina? I can’t bear to sell them off,” Carly sighed.
“If there’s anything here that you really fancy, I can give it to you,” Georgina offered. “No, no. These will be auctioned for charity, so I can’t accept a gift like this.” Carly hastily put the jewelry boxes away before she held Georgina’s hand. “I heard Anna say that you have a surprise for her. What is it?”
“It’s nothing much. It’s just a wedding gift,” Georgina replied. Carly frowned at this. “Well, the wedding date might be fixed, but we’re still not sure if the wedding is really happening,” she lamented.
“What is it? I heard that Anna has been learning to behave herself recently. Did she cause some huge trouble again?” Georgina asked.
“Well, it’s nothing huge. But you know what Zayn’s like. He might have agreed to the wedding, but… he’s just making empty promises. He doesn’t genuinely feel attracted to Anna. If another woman was in this situation, she might have given up on the marriage after knowing about the situation. However, Anna is rather different—she’s the type to persist until she gets what she wants. I’m afraid…”
“Carly,” Georgina spoke gently. “Anna might be immature, but I believe that both of them would still be okay with one another as long as she doesn’t challenge Zayn’s limits.”
Carly seemed even more worried upon hearing Georgina’s words. “By the way, Georgina, do you know about Aidan’s ex-wife?”
“I’ve heard of her,” Georgina replied softly.
“I can’t believe she had a history with Zayn! Right now, she’s even…” Carly lowered her voice to a whisper. “I heard that she’s pregnant. Zayn claims that the child isn’t his, but didn’t her divorce with Aidan happen a few months ago? Who do you think the child belongs to?”
Georgina responded with a faint smile. “If it belongs to Aidan, I believe the Pearson Family will take the child under their wing, right?”
“I know, right? That’s exactly what I thought! But, more importantly, I heard that she was sold to Patheon Club in the past, and she even used a fake pregnancy to force her way into the Pearson Family. Aidan probably hates her guts!” Carly sighed. “I have no idea what Zayn was thinking.”
“Alright. Stop worrying about this matter, Carly. You’re about to give birth soon, right?” Georgina asked.
“The baby is expected in five days,” Carly replied.
“You’ll have to get a lot of rest, then. You’re going to be really tired after the charity dinner tomorrow,” Georgina uttered. “You too. Thanks for helping out with all my tasks for the past few days,” Carly replied.
“Nonsense! That’s my job, Carly.” After leaving the Barnett Residence, Georgina received a call from Queenie. “Is anything the matter, Miss Wojzicki?” Georgina asked with a smile.
