Chapter 415

She looked towards Robert, feeling like he’d know why these two were here.

“Sit next to me. I’ll explain. Don’t say anything later. I’ll resolve it.”

Robert spoke, and Georgia sat, confused, at his side.

The man leant close to her ear and lowered his voice.

“These two are here today to blackmail me. I’m going to play around with them. Don’t say anything. Just let them have their satisfaction.”

Wasn’t that just treating her as background? With a deeper meaning that he didn’t want her saying anything to ruin his plan?

Georgia smiled and sat next to him, watching Kenny and Dora sit on the sofa opposite Robert.

“I’ve got the film roll and the photos right here.”

Kenny placed a packet on the tea table between them. Georgia saw a photo on top.

There she was in the picture, along with Sierra, who was being shut in the cage.

That was the night she’d gone to find Sierra. How had they taken that photo?

Georgia was shocked for a moment before understanding.

Kenny and Dora had come with ill intentions and material for extortion.

“Aunt, Uncle, I’m never stingy, but I hate being threatened again and again. I’ll ask you again, have you brought it all? If my people find these types of photos by your side later on, or other places leak those photos, I don’t need to remind you how you’ll end up.”

“We’ve brought it all over. We wouldn’t lie to you about this.”

Dora hurriedly explained, and she smiled at Georgia.

“You’re lucky you have a husband who pampers you so much.”

“Don’t worry, Robert, that’s the end of it today, so long as you fulfil your end of the bargain.”

Georgia understood that they were using that image to threaten Robert’s position.

If it had been her regular self, she would have probably mocked them and sent them packing along with the photo.

She didn’t mind if it leaked. She didn’t have a shred of reputation left anyway.

But Robert had said to keep quiet and watch, since he had his own plan.

Georgia could only stifle herself and watch those two slimeballs bask in their own satisfaction.

“I’ve already written up the stock transfer documentation and signed it. You two just need to sign it, officiate it, then get a public witness to sign it for me, and the stock transfer will be complete.”

Saying that, he passed two documents to Dora and Kenny.

Those two snatched up the documents excitedly, looked at it, and smiled at each other.

“You’re a man of your word, Robert. Your aunt and I aren’t greedy; we just want a bit of profit from the Simpson family’s development. We won’t disturb you with this sort of thing anymore.”

With that, Dora and Kenny stood and got ready to leave with the documentation, all smiles.

When the two stood and prepared to walk off, Robert spoke coldly.

“You have what you want. Is it about time to tell me which of the people around me have been bought out by you two?”

Dora and Kenny looked at each other. Finally, Kenny gave up a man’s name.

Only after that did Robert let the two leave.

Georgia waited until they’d left the door completely and turned to Robert, feeling a little pent-up.

“Why did you let them get so arrogant? I don’t feel like that picture affects me too much. I’m not afraid of people besmirching my name after seeing it, either. Reputation is one of the most pointless things in this world.”

“Don’t worry, I’m just playing around with those two and letting them have their satisfaction for a while. After a while, they’ll come over again and beg us for mercy. It’s easy to get stocks, but returning it, probably not so much.”

“So you’re telling me you have some cunning plot to trap the two of them?”

Georgia’s pent-up feeling finally loosened.

She just knew that Robert couldn’t have let someone bully him. Of course he had some other plan.

“I haven’t trapped them at all. They brought it on themselves, and I just found out by accident.”

Robert’s words were mild. Georgia felt like the person before her looked like a right proper strategist.

She hugged the man’s head and kissed her forehead.

“I knew that my Mr. Simpson wouldn’t get bullied like this. That aunt of yours dislikes me particularly. What did she do? Tell me, I want to laugh at her.”

Robert leant close to Georgia’s ear and whispered a few words, and Georgia burst into laughter.

It turned out that Dora had liked gambling, so even thought the Simpson family had given her enough money to live the rest of her life in comfort, she’d spent it all.

Even though when she was young, she’d gotten married, her husband had divorced her because she was gambling so much, and her child had disowned her too.

For twenty years, Dora had lived all across the world as a rogue, occasionally coming back home to beg for a bit more money, then using it to gamble some more.

But she was a looker when she was young, so she could sell herself to make money, then occasionally come back to the Simpsons, get some wealth from Robert’s grandfather when he was still alive, then leave.

The Simpsons didn’t want the trouble, so they’d usually set aside some money and chase her off.

But for the past five years, Dora’s luck had improved, and she’d been dazzled by a pretty boy, even marrying him and giving him control over all her wealth.

The pretty boy and Dora would continue to come back to the Simpsons for money, then have Dora invest the money for her.

The two were married now, and Dora had been completely entranced by the pretty boy, so she’d given the money to her new husband to invest with.

What Dora didn’t know, though, was that the pretty boy who’d latched to her was even more vicious and even more of a gambler than she was.

The businesses they invested in owed the banks over a billion in debt, and now that pretty boy also owed hundreds of millions to casinos.

The banks and the casinos were only staying their hand on Dora and her husband because of the Simpson family reputation.

But then Robert had spoken to the people who ran those places and let them have free rein.

After this, Dora would take on her husband’s debt, and then be harassed by the people from the casino every day.

For those sorts of places, they were the types who’d lock people up, beat them, break their limbs if they wouldn’t pay them back. There would be no mercy until the money was repaid.

If Dora had a good relationship with the other Simpsons, she could still seek protection from them.

But with it having gone this far, all Robert was going to do was laugh at her until she came over to beg him.

His short-sighted aunt thought that she could have no worries the rest of her life with a bit of money.

In reality, without the Simpsons backing her, she wouldn’t be able to keep a cent of all that money.

As for Kenny, he was even more ambitious and incompetent.

A while ago, his money had been scammed to do a huge investment, which ended up sinking into nothing.

In his rage, Kenny went and found the investor who’d scammed him.

Then he’d lost it and killed the investor, whose family had found proof and was going to have him pay.

Murderers got life in prison.

Even with billions in property, there was no way to spend it.

So Robert was planning on watching the show.

The two chatted for a while longer about Dora and Kenny, until Georgia grew more and more satisfied, eager to see the two made fools of.

The butler couldn’t hold it in anymore and came over, urging the two to hurry up and eat breakfast. Wesley and Annie were already seated, waiting for their parents.

After breakfast, the boss of M Garden, Harvey, who’d had an appointment with them yesterday, came over. He passed two letters to Robert.

“Ever since Mr. Simpson returned to the country, those two letters have been kept with me all along. I was supposed to hand them back over after he passed, but too much happened in the middle, and I only managed to give these to you now.”

“Other from these letters, did my father leave anything else behind?”

Harvey shook his head.

“He’s said everything he needed to say in this letter.”

After Georgia and Robert saw Harvey off, Robert held the letters in his hand, hesitant.

One of the letters was for Robert. From the side, Georgia spoke up.

“Are you too scared to read them? If you want to read them alone, you can go to the reading room. Don’t worry about me. Unless you want to tell me about the contents, I won’t ask.”

“Maybe it’s just because it’s so close to my heart. It’s hard for me to muster the courage to read them.”

Robert smiled faintly and took the letter, standing.

“I’m going to the reading room for a while. I’ll talk with you after I’ve read it.”

This was a time that belonged to Robert and his father, and the two of them alone.

Georgia nodded. Of course she wasn’t going to get involved.

As Robert left, Georgia’s mood suddenly turned sorrowful.

She recalled what Professor Lee had said, and didn’t know exactly how she was going to fix Robert’s condition right now.

But as she was feeling conflicted, she found an unknown number calling on her phone.

She took the call, and a middle-aged woman’s voice came from the other end.

“Miss Lane, I’m Aston’s mother, Laurie Powell. You can call me aunt too. I’m here in D City with Aston’s father. Can we meet you?”

Georgia was shocked that Aston’s parents wanted to meet her.

Strange as it was, Georgia agreed.

“Where would you like to meet? I’m free today.”

“We might have to trouble you to come near the hospital...”

Meanwhile, Robert had come to Maisie’s room, opening the letter than his father had left her.

He was planning on letting his mother know what her husband’s last words to her were.
