Book:Back To Thrones Published:2024-9-7

Jamie walked over to Georgia and asked, “Georgia, is this your car?”
Georgia shot Jamie a cold glance, not intending to respond to this loser.
“Hey!” Jamie pointed at Georgia and said, “I get it now. You must have embezzled company funds to buy this car, right? I can’t believe it. As soon as you become the project leader, you misuse company money. I’m telling Grandma.”
Georgia scoffed, “Do you think everyone is as twisted as you, always thinking about those things?”
Jamie sneered, “Then tell me, how did you get this car? Even if you sold your house, you couldn’t afford it, right? This car costs three million. Can you come up with three million?”
“I don’t have three million! But Kayden bought this car for me,” Georgia said proudly.
“You’re hilarious. You’re telling me that fool has three million? He doesn’t even have three hundred bucks. Next time you want to pin something on someone, pick someone credible. If you’d said Beckett gave it to you, I’d believe it, considering you’ve been fucked by him.” Jamie laughed.
“Jamie!” Georgia was furious, gritting her teeth. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Jamie nonchalantly replied, “Do you think I don’t know your tricks? Acting all pure on the surface while using your body to get ahead. If you hadn’t slept with Beckett, would he have appointed you as the project leader? What skills do you have for this position? You were just a gofer before.”
“Now the whole company knows you trade sex for this contract. No surprise there. Just wait, I’m going to tell Grandma you embezzled funds to buy this car.” With that, Jamie got into his car and drove off.
Fuming, Georgia stomped her foot and stormed into the company. Her good mood was instantly ruined by Jamie’s accusations.
As she entered the company, she immediately felt the strange looks from everyone. Many were pointing and whispering, gossiping about her sleeping with Beckett to get her position.
“Georgia is something else. She always acts so dedicated, but behind the scenes, she uses her body to get ahead. Totally shattered my perception of her.”
“Beautiful women can sell their bodies for success if they want. Especially when Georgia is the top beauty in Hiphia.”
“I used to admire her, staying loyal to a fool husband, ignoring rich men. Who knew she was doing this behind the scenes? What an eye-opening day!”
“If your husband was a fool, could you resist finding another man? Especially when you meet someone who could change your life, you just need to open your legs to get benefits.”
“Hahaha!”
“Shh, she’s here!”
The women immediately stood up straight, greeting her, “Good morning, Ms. Adams!”
Georgia heard all the gossip along the way, but when she got close, everyone fell silent and greeted her politely.
Soon, Georgia reached her office, sitting in her chair, fuming. Jamie’s tactics to tarnish her reputation were too much.
Her image was completely destroyed. To everyone, she was just a lowly woman who used her body to secure the contract.
However, she believed that her innocence would clear her name eventually. Georgia’s years of enduring hardships had made her stronger than most women.
Just then, Lara, the woman Jamie fancied, walked in. She said to Georgia, “Ms. Adams, Mr. Robinson said he’d come to inspect the company at two in the afternoon.”
“Alright. Arrange for someone to greet him at the door,” Georgia instructed.
“Yes, ma’am!” Lara responded and left.
As soon as Lara walked out, several employees gathered around, asking about the situation. Lara said, “She looked pretty calm. Let’s see how the handover goes later.”
Jamie and Layla came to the company to watch the drama unfold at two in the afternoon.
“Jamie, do you think when Mr. Robinson comes, he’ll take Georgia to his office for sex?” Layla asked, arms crossed, looking smug.
“Of course he will. Do you think Beckett is a decent guy? Just wait and see!” Jamie smirked.
Jamie knew Beckett well. Beckett loved playing with women, especially other men’s wives, often in the office.
So Jamie was certain of what Georgia had done to get the contract!
Soon, Beckett arrived. Several luxury cars stopped in front of the company, led by a Bentley worth over five million.
No doubt, Beckett’s presence was imposing. Besides being the head of Atkinson Group, he owned several companies, with a combined fortune of billions.
“Mr. Robinson, you’re here!” Lara quickly greeted him.
Beckett nodded, looked around, and asked, “Where’s Miss Adams?”
Everyone knew what he meant by asking for Georgia first thing.
It confirmed the rumors about them having a secret relationship.
“She will be here soon. She was just organizing some files,” Lara replied.
Jamie frowned and shouted at Lara, “Georgia’s really putting on airs, not coming out to greet Mr. Robinson. Don’t tell me she’s busy with files; she just doesn’t respect Mr. Robinson. Does she think she can ignore him because they have some relationship? Go get her down here right now.”
Then, turning to Beckett, Jamie smiled, “Mr. Robinson, don’t be offended. I’ll have Georgia come down personally.”
Suddenly, Beckett pushed Jamie aside. Jamie fell, his ears ringing.
Beckett glared at Jamie, “Who do you think you are, calling Mrs. Scott by her name?”
Everyone was stunned!
Jamie was confused, having been pushed for no reason.
He looked angry but didn’t dare speak up.
“Let me tell you, Mrs. Scott is not someone you can disrespect. And I’m just here to inspect; I wouldn’t trouble Mrs. Scott for that,” Beckett’s words left everyone shocked. They had no idea what was going on.
Georgia was supposed to have an affair with Beckett, right? But why was he calling her Mrs. Scott so respectfully?
Just then, Georgia walked out, looking apologetic. “Mr. Robinson, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
She raised her hand, signaling to shake hands with Beckett.
But Beckett, as if seeing a queen, quickly stepped back, bowed, and said respectfully, “Mrs. Scott, please don’t call me Mr. Robinson. Just call me Beckett, or whatever you prefer. You don’t need to address me so formally and politely.”
