Rebirth of a Flopped Actress's Career: First, Love; Second, Revenge
Chapter 122: I Can Pretend Too
In front of everyone, Georgina pretended to be kind to Olivia. But privately, she would always “accidentally” flaunt her closeness with Alexander and the special attention he gave her, making sure Olivia noticed.
In her past life, Olivia, deeply in love with Alexander, would become frantic every time Georgina casually provoked her. Over a month ago, just before Georgina left for her trip abroad, she sent Olivia a photo of Alexander seeing her off at the airport, which made Olivia panic. In her anxiety, and after being influenced by Amelia, she drugged Alexander. It could be said that in her past life, Georgina had played Olivia like a fiddle.
But in this life, Olivia had already lost interest in Alexander. However, that didn’t mean she would let Georgina off easy.
“Ms. Carter, you don’t mind, do you?” Georgina looked at Olivia with a feigned apologetic expression. In her past life, Georgina had given Olivia this brooch too, along with those underhanded remarks. Back then, Olivia had fallen for it, throwing the brooch away in front of Georgina, who took the opportunity to play the victim.
But now, Olivia smiled slightly and casually put the brooch in her bag. “Of course, I don’t mind.” I’ll just sell the brooch at a second-hand shop later and make a quick profit. How nice!
Seeing Olivia accept the gift without hesitation, Georgina’s eyes flickered slightly. Under normal circumstances, Olivia, knowing Alexander had given her gifts before, would have been jealous and made a scene. Especially after learning that butterflies were something Olivia liked, she would have refused the gift. What is going on today?
“I’m glad you don’t mind. Before, aside from me, there weren’t many women around Alex. I just casually mentioned liking butterflies when we were kids, and he ended up giving me butterfly-shaped gifts. I thought he liked them too, but I didn’t know he only gave them to me because I liked them. If it caused any misunderstanding, I’m sorry.” Georgina, hiding her surprise, subtly provoked the relationship between Olivia and Alexander.
“That’s convenient, isn’t it? You just say what you like, and he gives it to you without having to think,” Olivia said with a smile. Georgina’s lips twitched slightly. She had clearly been trying to flaunt how special she was to Alexander, but in Olivia’s words, it turned into Alexander not having to think much about her!
“Unlike me, I like so many things, and I don’t know what to tell him. Every time he gives me something, he…” But to Georgina’s ears, it sounded completely different. This was clearly Olivia boasting about how Alexander went out of his way to figure out her preferences!
Georgina took a deep breath, feeling uneasy. For some reason, Olivia seemed a little different today. In the past, no matter what Georgina said, as soon as she mentioned Alexander, Olivia would become agitated like someone who had stepped on a tail. But today, Olivia didn’t lose her temper. Instead, her words seemed to be poking fun at Georgina. Georgina furrowed her brow, wondering if she was imagining things. How could this country bumpkin possibly change so much in just a month?
The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she became, and just then, Alexander walked into the room. “Alex.” Georgina instinctively stood up, her beautiful eyes reflecting Alexander’s figure. The Alexander in front of her was just as handsome and outstanding as she remembered.
Since childhood, Alexander had been Georgina’s dream man. They had grown up together, and Georgina knew well that Alexander had no interest in romance. There had never been any other women around him. Georgina had always believed she was the only woman who could stand by Alexander’s side. But she hadn’t expected that, while she was abroad, Alexander would marry Olivia, a woman from the countryside!
