Chapter 458
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Eliana spoke those words in a bitter rage, and that explained the turn of events pretty clearly.
It had been Robertâs father all along.
Maybe heâd seen through Elianaâs greed from the beginning, and knew that there wasnât a good way to repay the debt of saving someoneâs life, so heâd bought them out with one hundred million and forced Eliana to never tell the truth.
At least when it was last year, Robertâs father had still been alive, so Eliana hadnât dared speak out.
After all, the Warner familyâs wealth and power was nothing in front of the Simpsons.
But now, with Robertâs father dead, Eliana found the nerve to speak out about it.
âI think that if I hadnât gone missing a year ago, you would have told me about this sooner or later. With my father gone, nobody could have threatened you any longer, and you could have appeared in my life as the person who saved me, right?â
Robert mocked, while Eliana didnât answer.
Some things didnât need to be said, and she didnât want her disgrace to be even more exposed before Robert.
Sheâd saved that little boy all those years ago, and sheâd paid attention to him afterwards. Seeing the boy was so nice and so handsome, she took pride in being his savior. And as the lady of the Warner family, they were a fitting match.
That was what Eliana had felt should have happened for twenty years.
But Robertâs father just had to keep warning her not to say it.
If sheâd said it earlier, maybe she would already have been married to Robert.
Robertâs father was all to blame. Why couldnât he die earlier?
Eliana was solely resentful over that.
âWhat woman I like, what my wifeâs personality is, whether she deserves me or not â itâs got nothing to do with you, Miss Warner. Please stay out of other peopleâs business and try to point fingers at my wife in the guise of a savior. You saved me once and Iâm grateful, but like my father said, heâs already paid you enough. You were willing to sell your silence for this one hundred million. I owe you nothing.
âBut you still saved my life. Iâll let you go on this, but next time you try something with my wife and family? Youâll get to experience what itâs like living in the slums or working like one of those ladies in the red light district. Donât think itâs beneath me. I can turn crazy when my family is hurt. Thatâs my advice to you. I hope you take it seriously!â
Saying that, Robert stood and took Georgiaâs hand.
As the two stood and left, Georgia turned to Eliana and gave her a Parthian shot.
âSome motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.â
At that, Elianaâs face turned purple.
She bit her lip and forced herself not to speak with tremendous willpower.
When Georgia and Robert left, Milton stood and turned to Eliana, his voice cold.
âDo you understand what Robert meant? Heâs letting you go because you saved his life once. If you do something this stupid again, even a miracle wonât bail you out of it. Youâd better nut up. Donât you dare bring anything down on the Warners! Youâd better get out of the border now and settle down overseas instead of starting more trouble in the country. That way, your motherâs stocks will still be in your name, and Iâll cut you a share every year. If you stay in the country and start trouble, Robert wonât have to do anything. Iâll expel you from the family myself beforehand!â
âWith me gone, you think you can just take your bastard children back and let them have their way? Iâm telling you, donât even think about it!â
Eliana was furious, while Miltonâs voice turned dark.
âYou think I want to take them back? Youâd always been the Warner lady, and the heir to the family. When have I ever stepped on you and denied your status? Did I tell you to go up against Georgia Lane? You ticked off Robert Simpson on your own. Thankfully, you havenât affected the family business. If you had, you think you can still stand here and talk to me, Eliana? Youâre my daughter, Eliana, but youâre not my only daughter. I need to feed and clothe my other children and I need to run the Warner Group. If you want to drag the family down with you in a fit of madness, Iâll send you to hell first!
âIâll arrange your overseas trip right away. Stay at home for these few days and donât go anywhere. Set one foot out the door and I wonât give you a fraction of the Warner stock. You can live or die on your own outside the country. Iâll freeze all your cards, and you can see what itâs like to live without a cent to your name!â
Saying that, Milton headed out the door.
Before Georgia and Robert got out the door, the two saw Milton headed their way.

Robert remained polite with him, and Milton turned to him, making a slick promise.
âThank you for letting Eliana go today, Robert. Iâll send her out the country after this and have her stay nice and low profile overseas. I wonât let her get involved in the countryâs business from now on. If she doesnât obey, that means sheâs still resisting. By then, send people to watch her too. Iâll report her goings-on to you. The child just hasnât been disciplined enough. You know how it is. Children grow up and leave the nest and they donât listen to their parents completely sometimes. Iâll keep a good watch on her, though.â
Milton was declaring his loyalty with that. He didnât want Robert to feel like he was in the same league as Eliana.
And Milton was afraid, too, that Eliana would start some other trouble in private, provoking revenge on the Warner family from Robert. So he wanted to set his boundaries here, and prove that heâd resolve this properly.
âIâve got it. Since youâve decided to send Eliana overseas, donât worry. This wonât affect our familiesâ business dealings.â
With Robertâs assurance, Milton relaxed and didnât take up more of their time.
Georgia and Robert sat in the car. As it rolled off, Georgia turned to Robert again.
âDo you think Eliana will just settle for this? That she wonât start any further trouble?â
