Alaric's mere touch sparked a volatile memory in Georgia's mind. It took her back three years to a wild night in the hotel room, a memory that now scorched her brain and assaulted her senses.
It drove her mad.
She could turn a blind eye to Alaric's flings with other women, but not with Hertha! She had seen the feverish madness in Alaric's eyes, which was why she felt such a strong sense of a heart-stabbing anger.
With a fierce tug, Georgia yanked Alaric away from Hertha, her movements desperate and rough.
Alaric could feel her almost pathological madness in the force of her grip. It was suffocating and revolting.
Annoyed, he wrenched his arm free and told Georgia with a dark look, “Enough! I’ve made it crystal clear to your mother over the phone yesterday—I'm calling off the engagement! And if the Reed family wants to pull their investment from my business, just do it!”
“Georgia, let’s get this straight. The last thing I need is your forgiveness! If your parents want to withdraw their support, then go on, don't drag it out and threaten me further!”
Threaten?
At the sound of that word, tears breached Georgia's eyes, cascading down her cheeks.
Shaking with fury and gasping for breath, she glared at Alaric, "Do you want to end up a commoner like her?"
"What's wrong with being a commoner? Earning a living with her own hands is far better than a woman who can only rely on her parents like you!" Alaric's words cut sharp.
He despised Georgia's attitude towards hardworking folks like Hertha. Sure, Georgia was a high-society heiress, but she paled in comparison to any everyday worker.
