Chapter 319

Back at the horse ranch, the manager of the horse ranch did not dare to let anyone ride the horses

after that incident. Instead, he gathered all the horses and checked every one of them.

Since Oscar was free, he stood by the side and watched what was happening.

The rest of the bystanders heard that the horse had almost knocked into someone, but no one knew

who it was. When they saw such a big commotion, they stuck around and waited for the investigation

results despite the temporary shutdown.

When Aidan and Leanne came over, the manager dashed to welcome them and invite them into the

lounge. "President Pearson. You must be… Mrs. Pearson, I'm sorry for the mistake our clubhouse has

made today. The clubhouse will be responsible for compensating all your losses."

"This is not what I wanted to hear."

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Yes, you're right, President Pearson. The

investigation has been concluded. There was a nail on the horse's butt. The ranch's fences were being

revamped this afternoon and the nail somehow—"

Then, Aidan coldly accused, "You mean to say the nail pinned itself to the horse's butt? Or do you want

to say that it deliberately sat on the nail?"

Feeling his legs trembling, the manager was at a loss for how to answer.

It was obvious that someone had done this on purpose. However, those who came to this clubhouse

were either rich or powerful, so the manager did not want to offend any of them, which was why he was

afraid to speculate.

It would not matter if the horse was frightened, but why did it have to charge in this couple's direction?

Aidan ordered, "I want the list of whoever that was in the ranch this afternoon."

Hearing that, the manager did not dare to refuse Aidan, so he quickly went to find the list.

When Aidan saw Georgina's name on the list, he was not the slightest bit surprised.

His expression became even darker as he asked, "Where is Georgina?"

The manager replied, "Miss Crossley just came out of the hospital, so she must be leaving the

clubhouse and on her way home."

With his eyes gently raised, he ordered emotionlessly, "Get her here."

Obviously, the manager was afraid to provoke Georgina, so he stammered, "P-President Pearson, but

—"

"Tell her that if she doesn't come over, I'll immediately head to Crossley Group to find Lloyd Crossley."

When the manager heard that, he was tense yet relieved. That way, he would not have to provoke her

because he would only be relaying Aidan's words.

During that whole process, Leanna did not even say a word.

A frightened horse could indeed be ruled as an accident. However, the horse had a nail on it, which

meant it was done by someone else.

It was not her intention to assume such bad things about Georgina, but with what had happened

previously, it was tough not to be suspicious of her.

In other words, besides her, there was not anyone else who could do such a thing.

Half an hour later, Georgina finally appeared. She sat on the seat opposite the couple and asked, "Why

were you looking for me?"

Then, Aidan placed the long nail retrieved from the horse before her.

After taking a look at it, she asked, "What's this?"

Leanna explained, "A horse from the horse ranch was attacked and frightened. This nail was retrieved

from it."

Smiling, Georgina argued, "According to what you're saying, Miss McKinney, it seems like I have

something to do with the horse being frightened?"

While saying that, she looked at Aidan. "Did you call me back because of this?"

With a stoic face, Aidan replied, "Of course not."

"If so, then what's all this for? Aidan, you threatened me on the phone. If you don't give me a logical

explanation, it'll be hard to convince others that you're not deliberately challenging me."

When she said those last few words, she purposely looked at Leanna.

Aidan asked, "You said you were hurt. Where did you get hurt?"

Once he said that, Georgina's face paled and she did not reply.

He continued, "If I guessed correctly, you went to the hospital to make sure whether it was me or

Leanna who got hurt. Am I right?"

Quickly regaining her composure, Georgina protested, "I don't know what you're talking about. I went to

the hospital because I got injured, but I think that I have no obligations to tell you about such private

matters."

"I can find the doctor and ask to know whether you're really injured."

Georgina's face paled. "What are you implying? I'm not a criminal who's being interrogated. Aidan, I–"

Aidan interrupted her. "You should know better about what you did."

Smiling, she turned her attention to the person beside him. "Miss McKinney, is this how you usually

speak of me before Aidan?"

Having suddenly been cued, Leanna smiled. "Miss Crossley, you have such quick reflexes."

She directly jumped from one topic to another. Then, Georgina argued, "Should I stick around and let

you accuse me if I didn't have such quick reflexes? Miss McKinney, I did want to be your friend, but

you've said that I should keep my distance from Aidan and never think of having any relationship with

him for the rest of my life. What about now?

"Miss Crossley, did you sincerely want to be my friend? Or did you approach me with a purpose? I think

that's something only you would know."

"I think your words are interesting. Why would I approach you with a purpose? Back then, you were the

ex-wife everyone despised, so what could I get out of you?"

"If so, then how would you explain your actions now, Miss Crossley? Is it your way of revenge because

your engagement was canceled? If that's the reason, then you can't even compare with me, the ex-wife

that everyone despised. At least I did things openly and transparently, but what about you, Miss

Crossley?"

Since Georgina liked to use the fact that she was Aidan's ex-wife to annoy her, then she would just use

it to get back at her. After all, Georgina was not the only one with a mouth.

Meanwhile, Oscar and a few rich young masters and ladies came over to watch the 'show'. However,

when they neared the door, they just happened to hear the two women arguing and instantly retreated

quietly.

The war between women was the most terrifying.

After sneering, Georgina ridiculed. "What's there to be proud of when you used a fake pregnancy to get

Aidan to marry you?"

"How about you, Miss Crossley? Don't tell me you didn't use any schemes?"

With two fingers pressed together, Aidan pressed them against his temples as he felt a headache

coming.

At that moment, the manager could not endure it anymore. He was afraid a fight might break out

between the two women, so he asked timidly, "Miss Crossley, President Pearson… Mrs. Pearson, why

don't we talk about…the accident just now?"

With a cold expression, Georgina argued, "I said I don't have anything to do with that. What do you

want me to say?

Aidan stated, "The ranch had its fences revamped today, and in order to track their progress, there

would be cameras recording the process. Do you want me to give it to the media or do you want to

admit your doings now?"

It seemed that Georgina might not have expected this, so she instantly froze without uttering a word.

She knew the fences were being revamped today, which was why she took a nail while no one was

looking. However, her attention was all on Leanna, so she did not take notice of her surroundings.

Therefore, she was not sure if the cameras Aidan mentioned were true.
