Chapter 500
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Georgia didnât understand why Riley was calling her.
But she still left Robertâs room in secret, went to a quiet place, and took it.
âWhat is it, Riley?â
Georgia asked bluntly over the line.
She was busy right now. Other than seeing Robert daily, video calling the kids once every day and other people she was close to â say chatting with Vanessa about her situation occasionally â she spent almost all her time conducting research with Antonio.
Theyâd let Adolf out as well, and all three of them were in the lab all day running tests.
She had almost no free time and didnât take strangersâ calls. She ignored a lot of them outright.
Sheâd only picked up Rileyâs call after a bit of hesitation. It was strange, after all, how heâd suddenly called.
âWhatâs Robertâs condition right now, Miss Lane?â
Riley raised the question directly, and Georgiaâs face changed.
Robert was still in a coma and hadnât woken up. They hadnât leaked that outside yet, and no media had reported on it.
But Riley was asking such a question directly. How did he know about that?
Did he have people spying on them by their side?
âRobert is fine, Riley. Where did you hear such ridiculous news?â
Georgia straight-up denied it.
She wasnât sure if Riley was probing, or if he had concrete information.
Besides, if Robertâs situation was shown online, lurking enemies and rivals or people who wanted to target the company stock could step in, and it could really turn serious.
Robert had already said that there was a financial entity sniping at the company and trying to empty them out. Robert had said heâd dealt with it in the dark, and Georgia hadnât concerned herself with it.
Robert had fallen into a coma in recent times, and she had Wilson look over the situation, as well as Robertâs secretary, assistant, and Jason, just in case something like this happened.
As for Riley suddenly asking about Robert, she found it stranger and stranger, and grew dubious of Rileyâs intentions.
âItâs best to tell the truth at a time like this, Miss Lane. With all the commotion youâve raised overseas and all the capital youâve been moving around, anyone would be paying attention to why you did such things. I just happened to have someone I knew well and was capable to look into the news.â
Georgiaâs expression grew colder.
âI donât care what speculation youâre harboring or what youâve investigated. Our families arenât that close, Riley. I canât speak about some things. If thereâs nothing else, Iâm hanging up.â
No matter what Rileyâs intentions were, the two of them werenât at a stage where they trusted each other. She wasnât planning on admitting anything.
If they recorded it and leaked it online, itâd start too much commentary.
It was thinking of Riley as a bad person to go this far, but Georgia had to be on guard for all possibilities.
âBut Iâve got a way to help Robert fix his body, Miss Lane. Are you sure you want to hang up?â
As Riley said that, Georgia still swiftly hung up.
Her heart had actually begun to waver, especially with Rileyâs last line about helping Robertâs body.
But from the moment sheâd known Riley Price, sheâd felt that the man was a mystery. What he was like in secret was a complete unknown.
Georgiaâs impression of Riley was someone she couldnât see through, and those words had her even more apprehensive.
She felt Riley was a bit terrifying now, considering how it was possible he knew all this, even talking about ways to help Robert fix his body.
Antonio had researched for this long and Adolf had continued researching in the lab as well. Georgia was assisting the two of them, and theyâd even taken on some reliable research staff to assist them in their work. With this many people working on him, they could still only just manage to keep Robertâs blood, hormones, and other abnormalities from worsening.
Their hands were tied right now, but here Riley was talking about something like this. Georgia didnât know if Riley was probing her for Robertâs condition right now, or if he really had grasped some important information.
Whether or not Riley was telling the truth on this, she had to make sure.

A while later, they sat in an office, with Georgia talking about what Riley had said over the phone.
âI donât know how he caught wind of this. Of course, having raised such a commotion over here, itâs normal to draw attention on me. He might have snagged information from someone or something. Robert was in hospital, after all, and I can understand that. But his last line about helping Robert fix his body was different. That only proves that heâs been investigating for a while, or that heâs known about Robertâs condition for a long time already.
Itâs a terrifying thought.
âJason, Ivan, what do you think Riley meant by his call? What are his intentions?â
Georgia asked worriedly.
Jason and Ivanâs faces both changed.
Robertâs condition was confidential, and even with word getting out, it wasnât for Riley to say that he had any ways to cure or fix Robertâs body.
âThat guyâs been a mystery since he was small. Played around with us in the beginning, but then we felt like his personality wasnât honest enough. He did things with intentions we didnât understand, so we drifted apart. There were other reasons, of course. He looks like a playboy, and if you were to ask me if he cared about anything, I couldnât tell you. Love, romantic or otherwise... he never seemed to take anything seriously.
âIf you ask about whether he cares to run the Price family, I havenât seen him do serious business these few years or fix madly to expand. I even feel like heâs just going with the flow and trying to keep the Price family from growing worse. I donât know why he called. Probing to see the show fits his style, but saying that he could cure Robert â he knows how heavy those words are, and heâs not just a bystander. That only proves that heâs got his own plans.â
While Jason said that, Ivan spoke as well.
âIâll go meet him. Itâs just a few hours on the plane. Now that Robertâs unconscious, we canât let his condition worsen. We canât overlook the possibility that Riley wants to expose Robertâs coma or do something to the company, even if itâs a million-to-one chance.â
