“Ugh!” Her tears could no longer be held back. They streamed down her face, like a raging flood breaking through a dam, unstoppable and overwhelming.
If she had been disappointed in Kayden before, now it was despair.
Georgia felt as if every ounce of strength had been drained from her body. Her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground.
Billy’s words were like a sharp blade stabbing straight into Georgia’s heart, shattering it completely.
Leah had been right all along. Kayden knew nothing. When he came back, he simply stood there dumbfounded, helpless as everything unfolded.
From the moment he returned, their interactions had been disastrous. The first time they met, she agreed to be with Luther and became his girlfriend. The second time, they didn’t even cross paths before he was thrown out of the house. The third time, on that stage, in front of everyone, Georgia humiliated him.
That stage was supposed to be his moment of glory. He had defended their traditions, brought honor to their people, and slapped the faces of those arrogant elites. But to Georgia, it was nothing more than Kayden provoking Luther.
The worst part? Georgia had announced her engagement in front of all those people, stripping him of his dignity.
And just now, when he came to her again, she didn’t offer him the slightest bit of respect. Instead, she forced him to sign the divorce papers.
Georgia had always despised cruel and unreasonable women. Yet now, she had become the very thing she hated most.
Life had suddenly plunged Georgia into a pit of pain and despair.
Kayden loved her. That much was clear. The light in his eyes only ever shone when he looked at her. He gave her everything he had, always standing tall and saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”
For others, those words might have been meaningless comfort. But when Kayden said them, they were backed by action.
From family banquets to signing contracts with Beckett Robinson, to this very moment-Kayden had always been the silent protector, the one who worked hard behind the scenes without demanding recognition.
Georgia should have trusted him without reserve a long time ago. But what had she done? What had she done to him?
She couldn’t begin to imagine the despair Kayden must be feeling right now. He had no idea what was happening and was forced by the woman he loved most to sign a divorce agreement. He hadn’t even been given a chance to explain, nor did he know where to begin.
His punch against the pillar was an explosion of rage-a release of all his pent-up anger. He didn’t know what he had done wrong but was treated so cruelly. So he was furious. Furious enough to channel all his rage into that single blow.
Kayden’s final look was one of despair-deep, profound despair. It was the first time Georgia had ever seen such hopelessness in his eyes.
She was the sinner. She had ignored Kayden’s feelings, blinded by her own resentment.
The man who had protected her and given her countless moments of warmth had been driven away by her own hands. She hadn’t cherished him. She hadn’t trusted him enough.
Georgia felt a wave of regret unlike anything she had ever experienced. She had never felt so remorseful in her entire life.
When everything was already lost, Georgia realized how absurd her life had become.
Her self-righteousness had driven away the one person who loved her most.
Billy immediately understood what had happened as he looked at the heartbroken and devastated Georgia. He had been a step too late.
He normally wouldn’t have interfered in a scene like this. But when he received word from the higher-ups that Kayden’s position was being revoked, he rushed over.
Losing his status was already a heavy blow to Kayden. If he lost the comfort of the woman who mattered most to him at the same time, it might push him into an even darker abyss.
So Billy came. But even so, he was too late. Kayden had already left.
“I’m sorry, Madam. I didn’t mean for things to turn out this way. My actions were solely to ensure your safety. Right now, Master Kayden is fighting against an incredibly powerful and terrifying organization. To protect you, his father and I devised this plan. But we were naive. We didn’t realize how much damage it would cause you.”
Georgia was already sobbing uncontrollably, her body limp and lifeless on the ground, like a walking corpse.
Grandma Falcon shouted angrily, “Who are you? Today is the Falcon family’s big day, and you people just keep barging in to cause trouble! Did you all plan this together?”
“You… You think the Falcon family can be pushed around so easily?”
“The Falcon family?” Billy let out a cold laugh. “You have no right to speak here. If you say one more word, the Scott family will erase the Falcon family from the face of this earth.”
The Scott family!
The mention of the Scott family made the old lady’s face pale. She didn’t dare utter another word. No matter how furious she was, she had to swallow her anger.
She never imagined this incident would involve such a powerful family. The Scott family was far stronger than any family in the capital. Compared to them, the Falcon family was nothing more than a second-rate household.
“I’m sorry, Madam.” Billy bowed at a ninety-degree angle in front of Georgia, then turned and left.
Georgia continued sobbing, her cries filled with anguish. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Between her sobs, she kept muttering apologies under her breath.
“Georgia, what are you doing?” Seeing the old man leave, Scarlett rushed over and helped Georgia to her feet.
“Georgia, we’ve come this far. No matter what, the engagement party must go on! If we cancel it now, people will laugh at us.” Scarlett’s mind was still preoccupied with the dazzling dowry.
“No!” Georgia suddenly screamed. She shoved Scarlett away, shaking her head violently.
“I’m going to find Kayden! I have to find Kayden! It’s all my fault-I didn’t give him a chance to explain!”
With that, Georgia ran off.
In front of everyone, she stormed out of the hotel, ignoring Luther, ignoring the Falcon family’s reputation.
“You… You… Are you all trying to kill me?!” Scarlett screamed in fury as she collapsed to the ground, fainting on the spot.
The Falcon family’s faces were dark with humiliation.
This was their most disgraceful moment, and in Hiphia, they could no longer hold their heads high. But they would not let this go.
Luther’s eyes burned with rage as he stared at Georgia’s retreating figure.
This wasn’t just a blow to the Falcon family-it was a wound that cut deeply into him.
Georgia had treated him as nothing more than a tool to vent her anger. And now, she didn’t even see him as a person.
Anger.
Luther was furious.
His heart burned with uncontrollable rage.
