Chapter 146
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Emma asked after a shiver.
This was too incomprehensible.
That Georgia had given birth to a son, and that son was now in a ward which was arranged by Laurence.
âYou have guessed correctly. The boy lying in that ward is Georgia and Robertâs son. I am doing my best to bring this boy back to the country. Now, he doesnât know anyone here, and I am letting a psychologist and hypnotist altering his memories day by day. Miss Lane, Mr. Lane, I have a deal here at my ready. Are you guys up for it?â
âMr. Knight, what are you telling us to do?â
Emma could vaguely guessed Laurenceâs plan as she started to probe him.
Emma could still remember that the first time Laurence had called her father, he had promised to help the Lane family, and to help her marry Robert.
Now that Laurence was bringing back Georgiaâs son back, so the heart of the matter here was to make use of Georgiaâs son.
âMiss Lane, are you willing to be this childâs mother? When the time comes, you will bring along this child and appear in front of Robert. You will claim that you are the childâs mother, and by doing that, your lies all those years ago wonât be exposed.â
âYou are able to make this son acknowledge me as his mother?â
Emma asked with much doubt.
âThis child is only five years old, and I have confined him to a solitary room for many days, and I have hired many psychologists to give him some treatment. His mental has broken down, and by then all you need to do is to appear in front of him as a mother, giving him care and protection, letting him rely on you and trust you. If you go along with the lies and directives of the psychologists and hypnotists, he will definitely believe that you are his mother.â
Emmaâs teeth started to chatter.
She never imagined that Laurence managed to do something so cruel to that son. She suddenly felt afraid of the man in front of her.
Despite her fears, this deal was too tempting. Just when Emma was still stuck in a quandary, Owen had already agreed to the proposition.
âMr. Knight, I thank you for giving my daughter a chance. You can be rest assured, she would be able to do it.â
After saying that, Owen turned to look at Emma.
âThis is such a good opportunity. Donât you want to take it?â
Greed occupied Emmaâs heart momentarily. That son was Georgiaâs son, what reason did she have to feel pity for her?
If this plan with Laurence came into fruition, half of the inheritance of the Simpson family would belong to her. She wouldnât have to do things according to Robertâs mood too, and she didnât have to be wary of his mother.
This was the perfect opportunity. Emma immediately nodded.
âMr. Knight, we will go with your plan. I will give you full cooperation, but you need to know that this cannot succeed in just a short amount of time.
What are you planning to do next?â
âYou guys know very well too that I have kidnapped Robert. When Robert comes back, he will definitely look for my whereabouts so that he can exact revenge. At the same time, you have to take note of Robertâs father. He is one formidable man who has dispatched men to trace my steps. These people will be your enemies soon, so I canât really meet you as often as I am doing now. We will contact by phone from now on, and I will always change my number. You donât need to feel strange, I will leave my assistants behind to your help. They will relay my messages from time to time.â
After saying that, Laurence looked at Emma.
âFrom now on, you have to follow the doctorâs instructions. Come see the child every day, and after some time you would bring him home so that he starts to rely on you. By the time he finally sees you as his mother, we will proceed to our next plan.â
âHow long is this going to take?â
Emma was a little nervous. She had a feeling that the Simpson family wouldnât give them the luxury of time.
âIt needs a few months at least. And we can only do this by following the doctorâs verdict. However, I have chosen the best psychologists in the world, and people with hypnotic abilities. They would make sure the objective is achieved to the best of their abilities.â
Emma thought that this was a good plan, but there were too many uncertainties in this plan. She started to point this out to Laurence, âMr. Knight, I got engaged to Robert five years ago, and we only knew each other six years ago. In one year during that time, I happened to finish my final year in America, so you have to have a way to prove that I have given birth to a child before there. However, at that time I thought that my newborn child was dead, thatâs why I was afraid to reveal this to Robert. I have to come up with a way to make him believe that I did actually give birth to a child, itâs just that I didnât tell him.â
When Laurence revealed this plan, Emma was pretty excited, but after giving it some thought, she reckoned that in order to let someone as smart as Robert to believe that she had actually given birth to a child and she just didnât disclose to him this piece of news, she had to come up with more lies.
She had to make sure all the corners were covered.
Otherwise, as long as Robert send someone to investigate it, the truth might come spilling out anytime soon.
âYou donât have anything to worry about. You still have the doctorâs proof back when you were still in America, and I will have everything in order. Your reason is not bad, about the death of a newborn but later on realizing that heâs still alive, but I have an even more meticulous plan here.â
âWhat plan are you talking about?â
Owen asked him, which brought a smile to Laurenceâs face.
âEven if you have married Robert, and even if he believes that this child is his, his heart is no longer where it should be. It is highly likely that he wonât be so attentive to this child, so I need to think of a way to make Robert believe that the one he loves is you.â
âHow can that be possible?â
Emma thought that was just a delusion. Maybe it was possible to reconstruct a childâs memories by hypnotizing him and making him lose his original memories with the help of psychologists, but is there any way to alter a grown manâs memories artificially? Emma felt that it was impossible.
âThis world is a huge place, Miss Lane. You donât need to fret now, because there are people in this world who has extraordinary abilities. I have already got in touch with him, and when the timing is right, as long as I can get my hands on Robert, I will be able to make him fall for you.â
Emma and Owen could only stay silent. From the moment they came in, they were led on the nose by Laurence in terms of the direction of their thoughts.
It didnât feel like they were having a fair deal here. Emma and Owen could clearly feel that they were being led by Laurence.
However, with how things were transpiring, if they didnât cooperate with Laurence, the Lane family wouldnât have other hopes in getting out of this alive.
âMr. Knight, where was this boy living in the past five years? Would the caretaker of this boy come looking for us in the future?â
Emma began questioning again.
âThey are indeed looking for the boy, but you have nothing to be scared of. The boyâs face has undergone plastic surgery. That family would never see the same boy again.â
Laurence was extremely confident that the Powell family would never discover them.
After Emma and Owen had left, Laurence asked Kayden, âIsnât Robertâs mother having a meal now?â
Laurence had captured Maisie, who was Robertâs mother, and now that he was in a precarious position, he needed to find more weaknesses possessed by Laurence.
âMaster, Auntie is having her meal now, oh right, Robert has called her just now. What should I do?â
âYou send a text message by mimicking Auntieâs tone.â
On the other hand, after leaving the ward, Owen and Emma immediately plunged into a discussion.
âDad, do you think that we will win this time? I always think that Laurence is one unscrupulous and ruthless man. Do you think someone like that would cooperate with us properly?â
âItâs always hard to wish for everything to be perfect when we are in a pinch. Do we have other options? At least, he really hates Robert. We are already way too deep into this matter, so why not we go all the way? If things turn out fine, the Lane family would become a prestigious family just like the Simpson family.â
Emma could only nod. She really couldnât come up with another way too.
Georgia didnât know about the fact that she still had a son. She went to work as usual in the coming two days, and she had buried herself in her lab, churning out her experiment report and thesis after some tedious preparation.
Georgia handed her well-prepared report and data to Professor Lee, which made the latter satisfactory.
Everything was ready, and they were only waiting for that one chance.
One more week left until the end of the month. By that time, Percy would hold a seminar at the Imperial University. They have betting against Percy in front of the public, which garnered much attention.
Georgia was waiting patiently for the seminar which was going to happen at the end of the month.
That one day at the end of the month was her best chance to rid herself of all the accuses and rumors thrown at her.
It was finally Saturday, and she was taking care of Annie at home. She didnât need to work today, and her pregnancy check-up was scheduled for tomorrow. Georgia planned to have fun with her daughter at home all day today.
When it was noon, Annie had drifted into sleep, and Georgia was at the moment scrolling the news.
She wanted to check out any news that was related to molecular targeted therapy about lung cancer, but instead she saw a headlines in the entertainment industry.
The contents made her feel aghast because it was talking about Jennifer Johnson, who was the young lady of the Johnson family, who was going to be engaged to Jasper Holland. Their engagement date was in year end, which would serve to unite the two affluent families.
Although she never had much to do with Jasper, Georgia still had come across him in the past. As for Jennifer, Georgia had a very clear memory of her.
When she first met Jennifer, Jennifer had slapped her without first even saying a word, and at a banquet thrown by the Murphy family, Jennifer even berated her in front of all the participants.
In the eyes of Georgia, Jennifer always had a maniacal crush on Robert all along. Georgia was completely spooked and confused by this woman hooking up with Jasper, so she couldnât help calling Selena.
At that moment, Selena was visiting a bridal shop. This was the most superior bridal workshop in the whole of Imperial City.
As Jasperâs sister, she had accompanied her mother Elliot to this bridal workshop. They were going to book a bridal suit for the engagement day.
Besides that, Selena still needed to accompany Jennifer to choose her bridal gown.
Selena was reluctant to come here, but it was coincidentally weekends, and she didnât need to worry about work.
When Jennifer came to their house, she had insisted for Selena to give her help in choosing the bridal attire, to which Elliot had agreed to do it. That was the reason Selena had awkwardly appeared here.
While she watched Jennifer changed into different gowns, Jennifer would shot her a glance from time to time, and within her eyes there was a hint of mockery, which caused Selena to feel increasingly uncomfortable.
The two of them were well aware of what had happened that night, but Serena chose not to say anything publicly. She could only endure in silence.
Georgia called her, which gave Selena a break out of this uncomfortable situation. She let out a sigh.
âMum, some friend is calling me now. I need to go out to answer it.â
At that moment, Jennifer was getting a change of clothes in the fitting room. Elliot nodded.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 145 Georgia Laneâs Son The Unexpected Marriage âThen go answer it. Remember not to drag it out.â
Selena immediately went into the washroom with her phone. Only this place was quiet enough.
âMiss Lane, why are you calling me so suddenly? Are you trying to ask about the progress about the matter of that car?â
Of course, Georgia would want to know more about that, but she just came out gunning with what she was most curious about.
âI have seen a news just now talking about your brotherâs marriage with Jennifer. The news said that they are going into engagement. Is this real?â
Selena didnât expect Georgia to ask about this, and all of a sudden she felt her heart aching.
âItâs true. They are going to hold an engagement banquet next month, and the date of their marriage has been tentatively fixed at the end of the year.
The exact date and time is unknown for now.â
So it was true after all. Georgia simply felt incredulous.
She didnât know about the truth between Selena and Jasper, that their sibling relationship was fake. She was just asking according to her own judgment.
âI know itâs very weird of me to ask about this, but I think you know that Jennifer has a crush on Robert. Arenât I right? It seems that this piece of information has been made public. At the banquet held by the Murphy family, Jennifer even got mad because I was standing next to Robert, but how could she turn to your brother all of a sudden? Arenât you guys concerned about this when youâre forming ties between the families?â
Selena didnât know how to provide an explanation. She immediately sunk into a deep silence.
Her silence only served to increase Georgiaâs impression that there must be something going on behind closed doors. Despite her suspicion, she didnât press forward as she too immersed herself in silence.
Only after a long time did Selena provide a reason for Georgiaâs question.
