The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1190

Hertha was utterly aggrieved. Not only had she lost her virginity, but now she was being looked down upon and labeled as a gold digger.

After her night with Alaric, she had genuinely believed they could confront the Falconer clan, that their staged romance might turn into a real one, and there could be a real future with him.

But then Angelina dropped a bombshell: Hertha was nothing but a means for Beatrice and Remington to secure an heir for Alaric.

To make her willingly bear Alaric’s child, Remington had shamelessly lied about offering a whopping half a billion to break off Alaric’s engagement to Georgia. They even plied them with that potent tonic, which after drinking, set them ablaze with desire.

One dose wasn’t enough, Beatrice personally delivered another batch of that concoction, fearing that Hertha and Alaric wouldn’t get intimate.

The stark reality of the situation made it impossible for Hertha to doubt the truth in Angelina’s words.

Moreover, wasn’t Alaric at the restaurant today, discussing wedding dates with Georgia? This all but confirmed that Remington’s words were just a ruse, and the engagement between Alaric and Georgia was far from being called off.
