Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 741

Hearing this, Georgia slowly raised her eyes to look at Landon. Her unfocused eyes revealed a hint of panic, and the corners of her mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. “Even you are here to laugh at me now?”

“You brought this upon yourself.” Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Landon brusquely retracted his outstretched hand. “I warned you not to provoke her previously, but you ignored my words. Who can you blame for your current situation?”

With one hand in his pocket, he looked down at Georgia, who had crumpled to the floor. His eyes were filled with disgust and disappointment. “You should be thankful that David didn’t punish you personally. Otherwise, you might not have left the Peckham Palace alive tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Georgia’s pupils constricted. She felt a vice-like grip around her heart as her breathing slowed almost to a halt.

“I used to think you were pretty smart, Georgia, but your performance tonight has been disappointing.”

Landon had fought a bloody battle to stand out among his father’s numerous potential successors. He knew how difficult life was for a concubine’s child, especially compared to a legitimate child.

Therefore, he had always chosen to turn a blind eye to his step-sister’s flattery and schemes.

Gradually, he had even agreed to Georgia calling herself his sister.

With her intelligence, Landon thought Georgia would know how to behave appropriately in such a setting. However, her performance tonight had let him down utterly.

Therefore, he no longer had his usual patience and gentleness towards her.

“Rachel was able to participate in the international military selection and even received a personal invitation from the head of state. Vulture, leader of the Red Flame Army, could never bring himself to say a harsh word to her. Even the arrogant Blackhawk willingly became her loyal retainer. So many signs indicated she was not normal like you thought.

“Even Jimmy and I knew to keep our heads down when we saw her, but what about you? Not only did you maliciously speculate about her relationship with the Red Flame Army, but you even stirred up trouble in front of everyone. Do you think that a mere rumor of Rachel’s past marriage could change David’s mind?
