Bedmates Soulmates
CHAPTER 429

She recognised Austyn's deep, commanding voice.

Besides, she'd glimpsed him in the crowd just now.

The crowd stirred and parted.

Georgina flinched at the sight of the man.

Memory of the humiliating experience at the hospital flashed through her mind.

The man was terrifying.

Austyn came to stand next to Kira, throwing an arm around her bare shoulders.

His eyes swept over Georgina's heavily made-up face.

Georgina was shaking like a leaf.

Her knees threatened to give out.

Onlookers murmured at this new twist in the plot-why was the M Group's president riding to that girl's rescue?

Did the two know each other?

The confident smirk was gone from Kira's face, replaced by mortification.

She could feel the curious glances from the crowd alternating between her and Austyn.

Their minds must be whirling with all kinds of speculation right now.

Why must Austyn do this?

She tried to move away from him but couldn't.

Austyn kept his iron grip on her shoulders. 'Kai.'

'Yes, Boss.'

'Get the party organiser.'

'Yes, Boss.'

Two minutes later, Kai returned with a man who was sweating profusely.

He'd jogged all the way here.

'Mr McCarthy.' The man bowed. 'Forgive me for not greetin—'

'Check the ladies' invitations,' Austyn cut him off.

The man straightened up, mopped beads of perspiration from his forehead and walked up to Georgina and Alissa. 'Ladies, please show me your invites?' could

Both women panicked.

They were in neither business nor politics; of course they didn't get an invite.

Their invitation cards were forged.

The usher at the door just did a cursory inspection and let them in.

But there was no way their fake copies could fool the organiser. 'We...Um...'

'I misplaced my...uh...

They were now the absolute centre of attention.

Payback's A Bitch

3/3

There must be close to four dozen people in the crowd now.

Every pair of eyes was on them.

Georgina wished the ground underneath her feet could open up and swallow her whole.

Any fate was better than this public humiliation.

Alissa hung her head and used Georgina's body as a shield.

Their faces turned vermillion.
