Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 209

Georgia Lane couldn’t figure out what was happening, so she immediately asked.

“If you have any questions, just ask me…”

“That time at Jason Murphy’s family banquet, I saw Emilia Powell came over. A man who was your colleague stood beside her. At that time, Emilia said that he was her husband… But I accidentally saw them today. I heard Emilia call him brother, so I especially investigated for his identity. It turns out that they’re both Powell’s. How are they related?”

Georgia felt she was put in a difficult position for a while. She helped them lie before, but the person who was involved knew the truth now. He was even Robert Simpson’s younger brother. He just operated on Annie a while ago, so Georgia was too ashamed to continue lying.

“I’m sorry. They’re cousins. Aston Powell is my colleague, and Emilia is Aston’s younger cousin. I already knew about this before. It’s just that when you just met back then, Emilia wanted to intentionally mislead you. After you got angry and left, Emilia asked me not to tell you the truth. I’m really sorry that I lied to you about this.”

After Georgia said that, Ivan Simpson’s face turned pale.

He had already guessed that Emilia had been lying to him all along. At first, she pretended to be a poor woman. Then, she pretended that she already married someone. She seemed to be intentionally distancing her relationship with him. She seemed like she was dying to stay away from him forever.

Was he that disgusting? Ivan bitterly and angrily thought.

He was extremely popular and sought after by women outside. Women would all cling on him wherever he went. Emilia was the only one who kept on avoiding him. Was there any blood feud between them?

Even if he was sincere back then and even if he was a little angry and couldn’t let go now, he didn’t need to cling onto her.

“Georgia, I don’t blame you on this matter. I just wanted to ask you if Emilia has a boyfriend or fiancé right now. Or is she married already?”

To be honest, Georgia didn’t really know the answer to this question yet. She explained to Ivan.

“I only have a guess. I think Emilia don’t have a boyfriend right now. She’s probably also not yet married, but I only met her a few times. We haven’t talked about personal matters like this yet, so I’m not sure if my guess is right.”

After Georgia finished talking, Jason patted Ivan’s shoulder.

“There are plenty of other girls out there. It’s just one woman anyway. Why do you need to get so angry? You should learn from Jasper Holland. He even dared to be engaged to Jennifer Johnson… When it comes to things like love, you don’t need to care too much about what you can’t get. Be more carefree.”

Ivan glared at Jason.

“Who said that I care for her? I’m just angry at her. So many years had already passed, yet she’s still lying at me. Did she think that I’ll keep clinging onto her? Did she think that she’s a heartthrob? This is hilarious!”

Robert and Georgia looked at each other. They helplessly and bitterly smiled together.

Anyone could tell that you still cared a little for Emilia. However, they couldn’t say that as it was. They could only stay silent on the side.

Several people were talking and discussing Jasper and Jennifer’s engagement at the side.

At around eight in the evening, almost everyone had already arrived. Jasper’s parents, Elliot and Bailey Holland spoke in front and thanked everyone for coming.

After that, Jasper and Jennifer each also said some words of formality and thanked everyone for coming to their engagement party in front of the stage.

Jennifer was actually a beautiful woman. Jasper was very handsome as well. In fact, they looked like the perfect pair of couple when they stood together.

If she didn’t know what Jennifer had done in the past, Georgia would think that they were the perfect couple.

Engagement parties in the upper class society like this were mainly used to announce the union of two families. Then, the banquet was for everyone to have a chance to socialize and talk about business.

It was just an engagement only, so they wouldn’t let the masters of the two families talk too much on stage. Afterward, the host occasionally livened up the atmosphere on the stage.

Most of the time, the people in the banquet hall just walked among the crowd and talked about business and reminisced with the interested people they found.

What Georgia didn’t expect was that Jasper was already walking toward them with Jennifer before they went to congratulate him.

“You brat, you finally settled down today. Congratulations on your engagement.”

Jason congratulated first, then Robert and Georgia congratulated them together.

“Congratulations on your engagement.”

Regardless of what he thought of Jennifer, Ivan also subtly congratulated them since everyone was being polite to each other.

Jasper gently smiled, and Jennifer talked to everyone.

“Thank you everyone for attending my engagement party with Jasper. Our wedding day is next month, so we hope everyone can attend it by then.”

Jennifer looked extremely gentle and demure. Georgia was a little bit confused by the smile in her eyes.

Was Jennifer really the bratty and arrogant woman in her memory? Or did the soul of the woman in front of her already change?

“You keep on saying your wedding is next month. What day did you really set it on? You didn’t even send out the invitation cards yet.”

Jason curiously asked from the side. Jasper helpless laughed.

“The twentieth of next month. The invitations will be done soon. I’ll send them to you by then.”

After Jasper said that, Jennifer looked and smiled at Robert and Georgia.

“I heard that you’re also preparing the wedding. When will the wedding be?”

“The twenty-fifth of next month. I hope you’ll be able to attend too by then.”
