NovelEnglishChapter 1975 Chapter 1975 Georgia thought that tears were her ultimate weapon. In her mind, a few drops could manipulate any situation to her favor.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Alaric, visibly disgusted, pushed her away. His face hardened as he snapped, "Georgia, that's rich, playing the victim now, are we? I saw you charging at Hertha, fists ready. She was just defending herself. A slap was the least you deserved." Alaric, showing his distaste, shook his hands as if he had touched something filthy just by grabbing Georgia's collar.
Seeing his repulsed expression, Georgia's suppressed anger bubbled up like lava, threatening to engulf her.

Georgia was devastated. Yet, in front of Alaric, she couldn't afford to be her usual haughty self. Her mother had warned her that if she didn't ther temper, she could kiss her dreams of being with Alaric goodbye.
She needed to appear vulnerable in front of Alaric, to cry and make him feel sorry for her.

But her mother's words echoed in her ears, keeping her anger at bay, even as she struggled to contain it.
Continuing her charade, Georgia sobbed, "Alaric, why are you being so harsh? Remember, there's a child between us. You're his father Imagine how scared he'd be seeing you treatlike this." Hertha couldn't stand it anymore. So Georgia was still playing her games.

He sternly told Georgia, "I already told you to leave the kid with the Falconer e family. Ith done with the Falconers."
"Hey, Alaric, are you being serious right now?" Hertha tugged at his m sleeve, incredulous at his implication that Georgia's child was indeed his. Alaric, feeling guilty for hurting Hertha, glanced at her sheepishly, "Hertha, letexplain later." Seeing Alaric soften slightly at the mention of the child, Georgia continued her act, "The child is sick, Ashburn running a high fever. He's been calling for his daddy in his sleep. Please, go see him..." X
