Chapter 1247
“You! You’re such a bastard!” Angelina fumed, releasing his ear and giving the back of his
head a smack – a gesture that brought back memories of how she would chide him during
his childhood
Remington Falconer and Beatrice had just returned from a leisurely stroll outside when
they overheard the heated exchange between Angelina and Alaric.
Grasping the gravity of the situation from their conversation, Remington let go of
Beatrice’s hand in a huff. Leaning heavily on his cane, he shuffled over to Alaric with a
shaky resolve and began to thwack him with it.
“You shameless cad! Didn’t you swear that Hertha was the only one for you, that you
would marry no other? You seduce the poor girl, ruin her reputation, and then you have
the gall to go after Georgia! Who was it that claimed to detest Georgia and was so
adamant about calling off the engagement?”
As Remington berated Alaric, he continued to land blows with his cane.
Alaric raised his hands defensively, trying to protect himself from the hits, but he didn’t
utter a word in his own defense.
Angelina grew anxious, “Dad, Dad, please stop, cool down.”

was supported.

“Cough, cough…” Remington was so worked up that he began to cough and wheeze,
gasping for air as he addressed Alaric, “I had five hundred million set aside for you, and
now you’ve gone and slept with the girl. How am I supposed to face them and call off the
engagement now, huh?”
Remington was bitterly disappointed. He thought he had not been mistaken last time,
believing that Alaric truly had feelings for Hertha and was turning over a new leaf.
He had gone to great lengths to prepare for Alaric’s wedding, only for the young man to
declare his intent to break off the engagement with Georgia.
How could they possibly call off the wedding now?
Alarie’s usually carefree demeanor was gone. He sat solemnly, his mood low.
What happened the previous night plagued him. Both he and Hertha had been drunk, and
he hadn’t expected Georgia to enter their room
He remembered being intimate with a woman, fully believing it was Hertha.
Yet, when morning came, it was Georgia lying beside him.

morning only added to his unrest and pain, feelings that had yet to subside.
Facing his grandfather’s accusations and scolding, he felt powerless to retaliate.
“What are you going to do now?” demanded Remington, pointing his cane at Alaric with
fierce anger.
“What else is there to do but marry Georgia? They’re already betrothed, after all,”
Angelinal stated resolutely.
“And what about Hertha?” asked Beatrice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough Hertha hadn’t said goodbye when she left, both Beatrice and Remington felt that
as long as she and Alaric were together, that was what mattered.
At Beatrice’s question, Alaric’s head shot up, his eyes flashing with a mix of gratitude and
agitation as he looked to Beatrice, relieved that someone remembered the bond he shared
with Hertha.
“Hertha is just like the other girls Alaric’s been with, all flings and not to be relied upon.
Otherwise, why would Alaric keep coming home alone these past few days, not bringing
her home for dinner?” Angelina spoke for Alaric.
Alaric shot Angelina a look of disdain, but the fact that Hertha had taken two hundred
thousand and was involved with another man was undeniable.
Even if he wanted to counter Angelina’s words, he couldn’t find the grounds to do so.
When Beatrice heard Angelina’s statement and saw Alaric’s silent consent – his lack of
objection tantamount to an admission – she sighed in disappointment.
