Chapter 440
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âCan you trade the information in this document for a chance for the Durant family to cooperate with the SY group? Our family has an oil field in the southeast with plenty of oil reserves, but our current technology is incapable of extracting oil from the fields. The SY Group has a monopoly on this type of technology, Miss Lane. If you agree to this and give the Durant family a chance to cooperate, Iâll give you all the information in the document, and if I come across any news on this end in the future, Iâll provide them to you free of charge.â
Georgia fell silent for a while and spoke to a smiling Sarah.
âI believe you know that, even though Iâm the CEO in name and sign for important matters, you should really go to someone in the actual company for this sort of cooperation. Those people are more professional, and the people in the developmental direction department will run a risk assessment on the item. If it fits, theyâll naturally bring it to me and have me sign for it. Why come to me directly?â
The information was important, but Georgia wasnât about to joke around with the SY Groupâs business experience.
Sarah couldnât be unaware that she wasnât that involved in the business.
There had to be some other reason she was going to her directly and trying to send it down from above.
âYou can run a check on your risk assessment departmentâs manager. Her name is Gina Williams. The two of us have a spotted past, which led her to straight up turn down all items sent over from the Durant family without any chance of an assessment. Otherwise, I wouldnât have come to you directly.â
From what Sarah meant, that Gina Williams was cutting through the proper process instead of turning them down the right way.
Of course, Georgia still had to had people investigate that before she made her reply.
âIâve got it. Iâll put people on it and give you a reply as soon as I can.â
Sarah smiled and didnât mind that Georgia wanted to verify the truth in her words.
To be honest she didnât feel that Georgia should trust her.
She knew the truth about some things and was staying quiet about it, after all.
She was just waiting for her chance, or maybe seeing where Travis and Georgia were headed from now on.
After talking about it with Sarah, Travis piped up again, concerned.
âOther than the online drama and last night, have any other people or forces targeted you or Robert?â
Travisâ words instantly reminded Georgia of what Kayden had said and done that day.
She turned to Travis and Sarah and spoke sternly.
âThe two of you should have guessed at some of whatâs happened to Robert. I want to ask you both to keep it a secret, and not to reveal it to anyone else. Someoneâs stolen Robertâs body checkup data. Iâm not sure what their intentions are behind this. Iâm afraid that theyâre treating Robert as a valuable body for their experiments, so please, keep this hidden from as many people as possible.â
Sarah and Travis looked at each other, their expressions shocked.
They hadnât thought in this direction at all. Theyâd just thought that Robertâs body might have some problems, and that it was a matter of whether or not they could cure him.
They hadnât guessed at all that someone would be taking a shine to Robertâs biological data.
That was a bit scary.
If someone had money, money wasnât part of oneâs body. If someone was targeting someone else for money, it was really relatively easy to solve.
The worst that could happen was going broke.
But if someone was targeting someone elseâs body, that was basically the same as being targeted by a cannibal. The danger was endless.
âSarah and I understand. Weâll keep it hidden.â
Georgia thanked them, grateful, and after a while, Annie and Wesley came back to her room.
Robert had brought the two children over.
âElsieâs just fallen asleep. She needs her rest, so I brought the two children over.â
Robert smiled faintly at Travis and Sarah.
Annie and Travis were somewhat close, so she stood next to him and chatted intimately with him for a while.
As for Wesley, he stood shyly next to Robert.
After chatting with everyone for almost half an hour, Travis and Sarah left together.
The doctors wheeled Georgia over for another full body check.
They paid special attention to the wound on the back of her head, seeing if anything was off today.
The two children were curious, and Robert wasnât about to let Georgia go off alone.
He took the two kids and stayed with Georgia for the checkup. The morning passed just like that.
Georgia finished the test, and all results showed she was fine.
The doctors even told Georgia that she could leave the hospital tomorrow, but she still had to refill her medicine.
But they could hire a home doctor for that, so it was an easy fix.
Georgiaâs body was completely fine, and Robert relaxed.
At noon, after having lunch and tucking the kids in for a nap, husband and wife talked quietly in the living room.
âSarah came to see you today. Did she visit for some reason?â
âHow did you guess she had a reason?â
Georgia couldnât help but smile. She hadnât even said that, but Robert had guessed it.
âIâve met Sarah several times. Sheâs been through thick and thin with Travis and they care for each other, but she only shows superficial feelings towards you, and no friendly concern. She must have had other intentions coming to the hospital to see you.â
âThere really was something.â
Georgia told Robert everything Sarah had said.
âDo you think sheâs telling the truth? I donât understand this sort of cooperation too well. You know that business isnât my forte. I can only ask Wilson about that.â
Wilson was out investigating what had happened yesterday right now, so Georgia hadnât gone to him all throughout the morning, and she hadnât called to disturb him either.
She wanted to wait for Wilson to get back to the hospital before talking about how the company business was being run, and about Gina Williams.
âThe SY Group does have a monopoly on oil refinery technology. Sheâs right about that. The Durant family isnât too involved in this aspect. They bought up a big island originally to remodel into a tourist destination, but their crews detected an oil field. They definitely canât profit from this alone, Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 439 Sarahâs Deal The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately ï¤Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work because oil refinery is a complicated business. You need local connections, skilled engineers, and experienced teams. Itâs normal for her to want to cooperate with the SY Group. But whether itâs their contract thatâs the problem or if Gina Williams is sabotaging things from within, you can investigate that when Wilson gets back.â
âSarah told me that she saw Eliana and Barney together because they just so happened to live in the same district. She saw Eliana yelling at Barney, who accepted it in complete silence. Didnât you just find that the internet ghostwriters had something to do with Barney, and faintly something to do with the Warner family? I talked with Sarah and Travis and speculated that Barney might have feelings for Eliana, and so Barney is acting on Elianaâs behalf.
âThereâs been a lot of rumors stirred up against me online. If that speculation turns out to be true, we probably wonât find any direct evidence of Eliana doing this. Barney could have been responsible for it all on his own, without Eliana being directly involved.â
As Georgia said that, Robert fell deep into thought.
He was silent thinking for so long that Georgia couldnât help but prod him.
âWhat are you thinking about? Why are you staring off into space?â
