Chapter 1118 âBefore Raina broke up with Georgie, she went missing for half a month,â Alden said, âHalf a month before that, her fatherâs business went bankrupt, and he got drunk out of sadness. He drove her younger brother and fell into the river.â
âWhat?â
This change shocked Ninian and the others.
âI remember that Rainaâs family background was pretty good. Her mother died young, but she was close with her father and her younger brother. Her father pampered the siblings very much, so Raina was also quite cheerful and warm.â Harold could not help but sigh and say, âItâs so unexpected⦠that this would happen to her.â Ninian also nodded, and her eyes turned slightly red.â
How could she bear such a tragedy? Raina was not even twenty at that time, right?â
âDid George know about this?â Melody asked.
LID L Since she had broken up with George at this point, what did George do?
âGeorge didnât know about it. Besides, he also went missing within half a month after Raina went missing,â Alden said.
âWhat? Why?â
Harold and Melody looked confused, while Ninian widened her eyes in disbelief.
George was always responsible and stable, and he was very close with Raina at that time. Why would he not know about it and even go missing for half a month when such a serious thing happened to Raina?
A âAt that timeâ¦â Alden paused for a while before he said, â Something happened in Winters Corporation, so Georgie focused on handling it. Thatâs why he didnât notice anything abnormal about Raina.â âSo, did Raina get hurt because of this?â Melody asked. âYes. She blamed George for prioritizing his career over her, ignoring her, and neglecting her,â Alden said indifferently.
LET Ninian lowered her head and sadly said, âGeorgie wasnât able to be there for Raina, and thatâs his fault, but⦠he has also been very sad all these years after the breakup. I think heâs hurtâ¦â
âCan we explain the incident to Raina? I think she has misunderstood George. Perhaps once the misunderstanding is solved, sheâll forgive George?â Harold scratched his head and said in an irritated tone. âDo you think George hasnât thought about it?â Alden glanced at him with a straight face.
âAccording to the information Iâve found, after Georgie got dumped, he went to Raina and discovered her situation. He felt very guilty and sorry. He apologized to her and gave her promises, but she rejected him.
âShe told Georgie that she pursued him only because she learned about his real identity and wanted to challenge herself. She said that Georgie did not know how to love and take care of people , so she refused to continue the relationship. Most importantly, she had fallen for the doctor who saved and treated her younger brother.
âTherefore, over the years after the breakup, Georgie has been doubting himself. He wonders if he doesnât know love and will only hurt people. Even though he secretly looks after Raina, he doesnât dare appear in her life and disturb her.
âHeâs the CEO of Winters Corporation, but heâs become low and petty after being dumped. Donât you think that Raina Barlow isnât an expert pickup artist?â
Aldenâs tone was filled with mockery and coldness.
His character was different from his siblings. In his eyes, other than his family and work, other things were dispensable. He could be heartless to anyone who crossed him.
