Georgia was not one to be outdone. She rose and retorted to Hertha, "You're the one who's full of herself! Do you think losing some weight and wearing a cheap dress makes you worthy of Alaric? I'm his match. We're both from reputable families and equally attractive. We're the perfect match!"
"You’re full of crap!" Hertha retorted confidently with her waist crossed, "Look at you, so skinny! Do you think a few jewelries and expensive clothes can salvage your grace? You're so frail you're practically a skeleton! What man would want you? Men prefer women like me, slim but with a bit to hold onto!"
Georgia was left speechless, her chest heaving with fury. No one had ever pinpointed her insecurities so accurately before.
And because those were her insecurities, it stung all the more when they were laid bare. She was left angry and helpless.
Georgia pointed a trembling finger at Hertha, unable to say a single word.
Hertha held her head high, confronting Georgia with an air of defiance.
Meanwhile, Alaric sat in his seat with a faint smile as he watched the two women argue. His eyes never left Hertha.
Both women were arguing over him, fighting for his attention. It was quite flattering and a testament to his charm.
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Georgia clung to Alaric's arm, attempting to pull him up as she whined, "Mr. Falconer, stand up and say something. Tell her that I'm your fiancée and she's just a home-wrecker!"
Hertha looked at Alaric anxiously, her round eyes filled with trepidation.
She had won over Georgia, but if Alaric were to confirm his engagement with Georgia, her victory would come crashing down.
Alaric, however, broke Georgia's fingers off his arm. His eyes twinkled mischievously as he said, "Let's get one thing straight. Stop parading around as my fiancée. I'm not engaged to you, and I have no intention of marrying you."
