Chapter 364
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
After Georgia left with Elsie.
Elsie and Ivan couldnât help but burst into laughter.
âYou killed it like a boss back there.â
Elsie patted Georgiaâs shoulder, her tones praising.
âSierraâs face was about to twist off. To be honest, that felt great.â
Elsie continued, while Ivan chuckled too.
âThat took a lot for me not to laugh out loud.â
As Ivanâs parents, Marcel and Joanna didnât quite understand. The two didnât know Georgia that well, but she had been respectful with them, calling them Aunt and Uncle right out the door.
Joanne couldnât help but ask questions with her face full of concern.
âYou havenât done anything illegal, have you? I donât think youâre a bad person, Miss Lane, but I just found it strange that you have a marriage certificate with Robert. And Sierra happens to have one too? I donât understand whatâs happening in between.â
Marcel chimed in mildly.
âNo matter what you do, donât leave anything for them to exploit. Robert is gone. No matter what, staying uninvolved and protecting yourself is the most important thing.â
Seems like both Marcel and Joanna suspected them of faking the certificate.
Georgia looked seriously at Ivanâs parents.
âIâm calling you Aunt and Uncle, Aunt and Uncle, because I really am Robertâs wife. I went to civil services to get the certificate together, and there are no legal loopholes or faked evidence. The other Simpsons will definitely go to civil services to check, and theyâll soon find that Iâm Robertâs real wife.â
At that, both Marcel and Joanna relaxed.
âIâm just worried that you want to stick it to Sierra and went too far in revenge. If thatâs not the case, we can relax.â
As Joanna said that, though, Marcel suddenly thought of a problem, and his face registered worry.
âIf Sierraâs still playing her game, Wesley and Maisie are still living in the mansion. Is she going to do something to them? No, I have to get back and take them away. We canât let this woman use them as hostages...â
Before Marcel could finish, Ivan hurriedly comforted his father.
âDonât worry, Dad, before we came today, I sent people over to pick up the old lady and Wesley. Sierra should have discovered the truth now. Get in the car, and we can chat about the details.â
Georgia took Elsie with her and sat down on Ivanâs lengthened Lincoln. With them all inside, Marcel asked another confused question.
âDid you plan this from the beginning? Then you must have suspected Sierra all this time. Both you and Miss Lane knew you had the right certificate, and you were only waiting to see what Sierra would do, werenât you?â
Georgia and Ivan nodded.
âWe planned this together. Sierra styled herself as the person who saved Robertâs life and acted all along like she was gentle and kind, so we wanted to see if she would show her face over the inheritance. If she really did go with Robertâs will as sheâd said before without any fraudulent behavior, then weâve misunderstood her. If she got together with someone else and tried to overturn the will, that only proves she was acting all along. We wanted specifically to drag it out to a time like this and show the certificate, ruining all her efforts.â
At that, Joannaâs tone grew concerned.
âWhere are Maisie and Wesley now, then? Isnât Wesley Sierraâs son? Taking him away like that might set her off. She could even go to the police.â
âDonât worry, Mom. Wesley isnât Sierraâs birth son. Sheâs been lying about that from the beginning. Thatâs also why Robert suspected her, and why he got back together with Georgia and went and had their marriage certified. Even before his accident, he knew something was up with Sierra. Who do you think he really loves?â
Ivan finished, and Joanna showed a kind smile.
âWhen I met you last year, Miss Lane, I felt you were a firm, confident person. Itâs easy to see why Robert liked you. Then there was the accident and he came back after losing his memory. I always thought it was a pity you didnât end up together, but you did. Itâs just such a shame...â
Joanna didnât finish, but Georgia could already guess that she was probably lamenting how much theyâd gone through only for Robert to pass on anyway.
Every time Georgia heard such sentiments now, she grew guilty.
After all, she already knew that Robert was alive, but she couldnât say it, so she dipped her head and went silent.
She didnât know how to express her emotions in a situation like this, and believing that she was sad, everyone went quiet too.
Because of that conversation, Georgiaâs thoughts turned to Travis.
Travis was the one whoâd told her about Wesleyâs DNA test, but because sheâd had her hands full with Sierra, she still hadnât seen him after she got back, or asked him why sheâd given her the wrong result.
Georgia was quite hung up over that, and she had to meet him and ask about his reasons.
But before that, Georgia felt that she ought to pay a visit to Jasper.
She already knew that Jasper was sick, but sheâd been busy in America and didnât have the time to see him.
Now that she was back and Sierra was mostly dealt with, Robert was concerned with Jasper, and Georgia had to visit in person.
As for when Robert would reveal he was still alive, Georgia had asked him, and he wasnât sure.
He wanted to see who it was behind Sierra, and after the turmoil today, that person behind her couldnât just stay quiet.
The person behind the scenes would definitely come out, or get involved personally. Only after dealing with them would Robert come back and tell everyone that he was still kicking.
Only, how long would it take for that person to show themselves?
Georgia couldnât guess, and Robert couldnât either. They could only wait.
âLetâs drive to the hospital, Ivan. Iâm planning on seeing Jasper today. I havenât visited him after he got sick and went into hospital.â
Ivanâs parents also knew about Jasper, and with Georgia mentioning it, they nodded in agreement.
âWe havenât stopped by the hospital, either. Letâs all go.â
With that set, the car rolled towards the hospital.
In the hospital proper.
Selena had already returned to the country. In the beginning, Bailey, as Jasperâs father, had asked that she take the first plane ticket back.
But that night, before Selena had reached the hospital, Dan had gotten sick with a high fever.
In a situation like that, of course Selena couldnât bring the child over right away, and she could only rush Dan to the hospital himself.
Thus it dragged on for half a week until this morning, when she came back with Dan.
Naturally, as her adoptive father, Bailey was the one to pick her up at the airport.
Now, Selena had arrived alongside Bailey before the hospital.
âGo. As for whatâs gone on with the child, weâll hide it together. Having you take care of it alone is just too much. As Hollands, weâll take care of it together. Donât worry if your big brotherâs going to suspect anything. The most important thing now is his recovery. Heâs pushing thirty now. When he was young, something like this wouldnât have taken him down. When his surgery is done, weâll discuss how to resolve this.â
Daniel was his grandson, and for someone who was older and more old-fashioned like Bailey, of course he wanted his eldest grandson close to him.
And Selena was his adopted daughter. Their relationship had always been good, and he didnât care too much that this had happened between Selena and Jasper.
He felt that, with Jasper so big now, he ought to be strong enough to survive knowing the truth.
As for thoughts of being afraid his own wife would lose face, Bailey found it completely unnecessary.
The Holland family had started as a small business. And businessmen had no need to bother with appearances.
At his poorest moment, heâd knelt before someoneâs feet and begged them to hand him the business, and only then got his start.
In his process of growing the company, Bailey had come across many powerful figures. Heâd always pleaded with them, and had embarrassed himself before.
Now that the business was booming, and stabilizing in these years, their connections were growing, so more people respected the Holland family and didnât mention the past.
His wife, though, was getting more and more concerned about reputation.
Even though, when they were young, they cared nothing for it when they did business.

Selena hadnât brought the kid with her to the hospital today. There were too many germs about for a small child.
Besides, Dan had only just been sick, and he was still weak. She couldnât very well bring him to a hospital.
So, after getting off the plane, Bailey had first taken the kid to the Holland household with Selena before driving to the hospital.
Selena pondered her own thoughts in the elevator, mulling over how to explain her escape this time.
Sheâd already been thinking about it for days. Sheâd thought of a lot of excuses, but none of them stuck.
Five minutes passed like that, and Selena finally arrived in front of Jasperâs room.
