Chapter 452
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
After they got in the car, they drove off for a while.
Georgia turned to Robert and asked about Alfred.
âBack then at home, I was in a video call with Vanessa and we talked for a while. She told me that Alfredâs been busy lately, and she feels like somethingâs off with him. Alfred, though, isnât willing to say what happened to him, and heâs not willing to say what happened with the Chow family either. Vanessa doesnât have any news sources and sheâs a bit worried.
âCan you put people on it? See if the Chows of G City are going through something?â
As Georgia said that, Robert agreed straight away.
âIâll send people to G City to investigate. Donât fret. If nothing bigâs happened, it means that itâs still in a range we can control. But I heard a rumor. Isnât the heir to the Chow family Alfred? But I heard that his position as heir is a little unstable. I didnât take those rumors seriously then, but looking at it now, the Chow family could be going through something all right.â
Georgia and Robert didnât speak and stayed silent in the car.
After a few minutes, Georgia let out an exclamation, and Robert grew concerned.
âWhyâs your expression so heavy all of a sudden? Did you think of something?â
Georgia reached out and grabbed Robertâs hand.
âItâs very important. Iâm worried that whatâs happened now has to do with this. Alfredâs not the birth son of the Chows. If their family is going through something right now, Iâm worried wordâs gotten out.â
âHow do you know about that?â
Robert asked curiously.
That was a long story. Georgia explained what happened last year in brief.
âBack then, I heard Rachel Scott talk about it. Logically speaking, Anaya was there too, and she should have known about it, but nothing big happened in this year with the Chow family, and I donât know how Anaya dealt with it. Rachelâs disappeared, though. And Alfred didnât tell me how heâd dealt with Rachel. Heâd given Anaya a warning, so it hadnât leaked last year.â
This year, with Robertâs disappearance and Maisieâs incoherent state, even if Anaya had relations with the Simpsons, the Simpsons couldnât have helped, and Alfred probably really had found a way to threaten Anaya not to speak the truth.
Still, Georgia wasnât too concerned about that. Alfredâs identity would have been leaked one day. She just didnât want Vanessa to become collateral damage in the storm.
After all, when it came to conflicts of wealth, who knew if somebody was going to start targeting those around them when things got intense.
Considering that, Georgia could help but speak to Robert again.
âShould we give Alfred a call? Ask him straight up whatâs going on? If he canât protect Vanessa properly, I can at least take her to me.â
âLetâs wait and deal with Eliana today. Weâll discuss Alfred back home. If I receive some concrete information, weâll give Alfred a call. Heâs not going to deny it directly, and it might be best to clear up the truth that way.â
âWeâll do that for now, then.â
Georgia could only keep it on the back burner for now.
The car drove on for about an hour and they finally stopped before the gates of the Warner family.
The gate guards saw the car stop, and one of them hurried before the door.
Seeing Robert and Georgia get out, security was somewhat shocked.
After all, there hadnât been any big events at the Warner family recently, and Robert and Georgia hadnât been invited. They werenât guests, nor friends who came around often. The guard spoke carefully.
âMr. Simpson. Mrs. Simpson.â
âTell old man Warner that I brought my wife over and we want to see him.â
The guard spoke into the intercom about it, and after a while, the gates opened. Robert took Georgiaâs hand and walked to the Warner household.
There was a spacious garden outside, and Robert didnât let his driver drive it in.
Georgia and Robert walked on foot for five to six minutes before they reached the ancestral yard of the Warner family.
After going into the living room, old Mr. Warner was sitting on the sofa. He looked sprightly for his age, but his face was stiff and stern.
Georgia had seen him in a banquet once, but she hadnât known that this was Elianaâs father back then.
âHello, Mr. Warner, this is my wife, Georgia Lane.â
Robert came in and greeted old Mr. Milton Warner politely.
Georgia also stooped herself and greeted him with the same politeness.
âHello, Mr. Warner. Iâm Robertâs wife. Just Georgia is fine.â
âCome, sit. You two are rare guests. You must have come to me so suddenly for some reason?â
Georgia and Robert sat down on the sofa opposite Miltonâs. Georgia could see that Robert had a decent attitude towards Elianaâs father, and didnât look like he was accusing anyone.
She was a bit curious how Robert was going to talk about Eliana.
Outside her expectations, though, Robert just directly passed a flash drive to the senior Warner.
âMr. Warner, our families have always maintained a friendly relationship, and our business has been smooth. I donât want grudges between the younger generation to affect our familiesâ relationship. Iâve come over to give our families a chance.â
Miltonâs face turned serious. He picked up the flash drove and gave a command to the butler beside him.
The butler placed a laptop on the tea table right away.
After switching it on, Milton plugged in the flash drive.
Clicking into the folder, there was a video inside. But before bringing it up, Milton turned back to Robert.
âIf I fail to deal with this, what happens?â
âBusiness is business, but family is family. If I canât protect my family, thereâs no need for further business, Mr. Warner. Itâs fine making a bit less money, Mr. Warner, but I hate having my family hurt.â
That was basically implying that if this wasnât properly dealt with, the families would sever their business relationship.
The Simpson family was a huge organization, and the moment they cut off a certain company, it would set off a domino effect, and seriously affect a lot of other companies from working with the Warners. A lot of stockholders would also back out, and plenty of companies would cut themselves off from them as well.
Milton was naturally unwilling to bit on this, and his expression grew grave.
A second later, he clicked open the video.
His daughterâs voice rang out straight away.
Then he saw his daughter sitting in a secluded compartment with Barney.
âYou did well last time. Thereâs a lot of people flaming Georgia online, and the ghostwriters were led well. But then all that had happened in the entertainment circle, and it grew less popular of a subject. This time, make a better title, and let everyone know about Georgia paying a visit to Sierra.
Itâs best to make the impression that Sierraâs being abused in prison by Georgiaâs orders, and craft her persona into the direction of an oppressor using her wealth and power. Get the whole internet up in arms over her. Think of some way to make the commentary more intense this time.â
As Eliana said that, Barney responded right away.
âThose ghostwriters are old hands and guiding commentary. Thatâs fine. But my companyâs chain of capitalâs been cut off recently. I hear someoneâs let word out from above to stop cooperating with my company. I suspect Robertâs already found out about me. Would he suspect you? Maybe we should keep our heads down for a while in case he finds out.â
âNo, you have to strike while the iron is hot. It hasnât been that long before Robertâs mother attempted suicide, and everyoneâs still interested in Georgia and Robertâs family affairs. If you keep it down any longer, theyâll lose interest. The commentary has to be boiling hot...â
With the video having gotten that far, old Mr. Warnerâs hands bulged with veins, and his face turned purple.
He pressed pause, then turned to Robert.
âI raised my daughter too laxly for her to do something like this. Iâll deal with it for you!â
With that, Milton looked towards Georgia.
âI didnât teach my daughter the right manners as her father, Miss Lane. My apologies.â
Milton had a very direct attitude, and Georgia didnât know what do say.
After all, the real culprit this time was Eliana, and she didnât want Elianaâs father to lower her head before her. What she wanted was for Eliana to be taught a lesson so she wouldnât go after her anymore.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 451 Wesleyâs Birth Mother 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 âI know Elianaâs home, Mr. Warner. Why donât you have her appear, and talk about why she did this.â
As Robert said that, Milton shot a dark look at the butler.
âGet the young lady over!â
The butler complied and walked out the living room to the back.
Georgia had noticed when they came in that there were several lavish houses behind the mansion. Seemed like Eliana lived in one of the back houses.
As they waited, Georgia and Robert kept silent and calm, while Miltonâs face darkened further and further, his eyes growing shadowed.
After about five minutes, Eliana finally walked out from the doorway.
The moment she saw Georgia and Robert sitting in the living room, Elianaâs face changed instantly.
