Chapter 119

The charity dinner came in the blink of an eye. After arriving at Lux, Leanna contacted

Georgina to inform her that she had completed the products. "I'm a little busy these two

days, so I might not have the time to collect it. By the way, I hear that Lux Magazine will

be at the charity dinner tomorrow. Since you're their jewelry designer, I'm sure you'll

attend the event, right, Miss McK?"

"Yeah," Leanna replied.

"Great. You can pass it to me tomorrow then, Miss McK." The main target of the Barnett

Group's charity dinner was the wealthy families in town. So, it was no surprise that

Georgina was invited to it. "Sure," Leanna replied.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Georgina uttered with a smile. After they ended the call, Leanna

placed the custom-made necklace into her bag before visiting Harvey's office to hand him

the products that were to be auctioned at the charity the next day.

…

Meanwhile, Carly was at home, organizing the jewelry pieces that were to be sold the next

day. "Are we really going to auction these pieces, Georgina? I can't bear to sell them off,"

Carly sighed.

"If there's anything here that you really fancy, I can give it to you," Georgina offered. "No,

no. These will be auctioned for charity, so I can't accept a gift like this." Carly hastily put

the jewelry boxes away before she held Georgina's hand. "I heard Anna say that you have

a surprise for her. What is it?"

"It's nothing much. It's just a wedding gift," Georgina replied. Carly frowned at this. "Well,

the wedding date might be fixed, but we're still not sure if the wedding is really

happening," she lamented.

"What is it? I heard that Anna has been learning to behave herself recently. Did she cause

some huge trouble again?" Georgina asked.

"Well, it's nothing huge. But you know what Zayn's like. He might have agreed to the

wedding, but… he's just making empty promises. He doesn’t genuinely feel attracted to

Anna. If another woman was in this situation, she might have given up on the marriage

after knowing about the situation. However, Anna is rather different—she's the type to

persist until she gets what she wants. I'm afraid…"

"Carly," Georgina spoke gently. "Anna might be immature, but I believe that both of them

would still be okay with one another as long as she doesn't challenge Zayn's limits."

Carly seemed even more worried upon hearing Georgina's words. "By the way, Georgina,

do you know about Aidan's ex-wife?"

"I've heard of her," Georgina replied softly.

"I can't believe she had a history with Zayn! Right now, she's even…" Carly lowered her

voice to a whisper. "I heard that she's pregnant. Zayn claims that the child isn't his, but

didn't her divorce with Aidan happen a few months ago? Who do you think the child

belongs to?"

Georgina responded with a faint smile. "If it belongs to Aidan, I believe the Pearson Family

will take the child under their wing, right?"

"I know, right? That's exactly what I thought! But, more importantly, I heard that she was

sold to Patheon Club in the past, and she even used a fake pregnancy to force her way

into the Pearson Family. Aidan probably hates her guts!" Carly sighed. "I have no idea what

Zayn was thinking."

"Alright. Stop worrying about this matter, Carly. You're about to give birth soon, right?"

Georgina asked.

"The baby is expected in five days," Carly replied.

"You'll have to get a lot of rest, then. You're going to be really tired after the charity dinner

tomorrow," Georgina uttered. "You too. Thanks for helping out with all my tasks for the

past few days," Carly replied.

"Nonsense! That's my job, Carly." After leaving the Barnett Residence, Georgina received a

call from Queenie. "Is anything the matter, Miss Wojzicki?" Georgina asked with a smile.

"I'd like to check if the necklace I designed for you is with you right now, Miss Crossley,"

Queenie stated.

Georgina hesitated for a few moments before responding. "Well… I think I might have

forgotten to take it. I'll get someone to collect it later in the day," she replied.

The line went silent on the other end for a while. "I'm sorry, Miss Crossley. I might have

accidentally lost the necklace, and I'd like to apologize for my carelessness," Queenie

uttered after a few seconds.

"You lost it?" Georgina asked.

"Yeah. I'm willing to bear all the costs, so I'll return the full sum to your bank account in a

few days," Queenie said.

"It's fine, Miss Wojzicki. You don't have to be sorry about it. Let's just treat this as a chance

we were given to know each other. I like your products, so I hope we can work together in

the future!" Georgina replied. They chatted for a while longer before ending the call. After

that, Georgina got into the car and gazed out the window as she tapped the corner of her

phone against her chin. It looked like she was thinking about something.

After a while, she gave her driver some orders. "I don't want anyone to stop Queenie no

matter what she wants to do," she said calmly.

"Alright. Then… Are we going to take action?" the driver asked.

"No. She can do it on her own," Georgina uttered. "Take me to Pearson Group."

…

Meanwhile, at the president's office in Pearson Group, Aidan was staring at the invitation

on his table. His sharp features didn't seem to reveal a hint of emotion. Jonathan knocked

on the door right then, breaking the silence in the room. "Miss Crossley is here, President

Pearson." Aidan looked up to see Georgina's figure standing by the entrance. "What is it?"

he asked in a flat tone.

She felt both amused and annoyed by his response. "It's so rare for me to come over and

visit you. Do you have to treat me like that?"

"I treat everyone the same. You can tell me if there's something you'd like to say, or you

can leave if you're here for no reason. I have work to do," he intoned dismissively.

"Aidan." Georgina sat down in front of him and gazed at the invitation that happened to be

on his table. "You'll be going to the charity dinner tomorrow, right?"

"I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow," he replied. Even though the Barnetts were the ones

hosting this charity dinner, the Pearsons had provided a lot of support along the way.

Judging by how they had worked hard to gather all sorts of famous entrepreneurs for the

event, Georgina could immediately tell what Gordon was trying to do. She was sure that

Aidan was going to be there.

"I know your situation in the Pearson Family now, Aidan. I'm willing to help you," she

offered. He scoffed at this. "Why don't you tell me what my situation is?"

"You have too much power, so you won't allow your father to control you at all. Instead, he

wants to snatch your position as the president of Pearson Group away from you, and

replace you with someone easier to control," she replied.

"Regardless, my surname's still Pearson. So, isn't it a rather stupid reason for him to try to

find a new heir just because I won't allow him to control me?" he asked flatly.

"Sure, it's a pretty stupid reason. Everyone else knows that your father can't overpower

you, but no one seemed to have wondered why he's afraid of giving you full control over

the Pearson Group," Georgina said airily.

Aidan's expression darkened upon hearing this. "You sound like you know something," he

muttered icily.

She smiled and responded without answering his question. "Your father doesn't have a lot

of men under him, and the Pearson Group's internal management is seeing a lot of new

changes. Ultimately, he just wants Anna and Zayn to get married, so the Barnett Family is

now the greatest resource your father has in his hands. It's not hard for you to even things

out, President Pearson. You'll just have to get married to me. You should know that the

Barnetts are just an empty shell at this point—they're just faking their wealth and power.

They're no match for the Crossleys," Georgina said.
