The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1974

Georgia looked up at the sky, feigning innocence, "Who said that? Certainly wasn't me."

Hertha scoffed, unimpressed by Georgia's sudden transformation into the picture of obedience now that Alaric had arrived. Just moments ago, she was all high and mighty, but now, she was as meek as a lamb.

Hertha's gaze shifted to the woman next to Georgia, "Hey, beautiful, care to enlighten us on who was the jerk saying spending thirty grand on a car is a peasant move?"

Georgia's face turned a shade of green at Hertha's insult, but with Alaric standing by Hertha's side, she restrained herself from snapping back.

The last time Alaric was sick, and she, along with Angelina, visited him, it only ended up annoying Alaric.

That visit even drove a wedge between her and Angelina.

Till now, she was still figuring out how to get back into Alaric's or Angelina's good graces.

Another embarrassment in front of Alaric, and she could kiss her image goodbye in his eyes.

So, even with Hertha's snide remarks, Georgia bit her tongue.

"And how would I know who the jerk was?" The woman next to Georgia played dumb too, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Hertha and Alaric.

"Figures, birds of a feather flock together. A jerk always hangs out with jerks," Hertha muttered disdainfully.
