Chapter 511
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Georgia said, amused, while Robert grabbed his wifeâs hands directly.
âI was the one who lost you all that money. Iâm guilty about it too. If I donât make this money back, I feel like Iâll lose sleep over it.â
âOkay then, Iâll leave it to you. I guess staying in bed every day is boring for you too, so hereâs something for you to do. So long as you donât stay up late, itâs fine. No matter what, getting a healthy body is the most important.â
âArenât you underestimating me too much? Itâs just getting a finance company ready. Iâve got loads of professionals on hand and I just need to point out the general direction. We can run the company when we get back. Iâve got my name and your fame, and a lot of people are going to relax and invest. Iâll turn you into a stock goddess. Trust me.â
âAll right.â
Georgia nodded, and that was that.
In the afternoon she went back to the lab to continue with her experiments. The day passed in a flurry of activity.
Just as it was getting dark, Georgia had been planning on going back and having dinner with everyone else, but a ruckus came from outside.
Followed closely by actual gunshots, then the sound of an explosion.
Georgia grew worried in an instant and rushed over to Robert, who was just going out, and the two bumped into each other.
Jason and Ivan arrived as well, and they were all curious as to-
âWhat happened out there?â
Antonio came over as well, and he spoke to everyone there.
âA group of thugs started having a gunfight out there. Itâs strange. This place had good security before. I also saw a fire spreading over. Weâre putting it out now. Iâve put people together and called the cops. The situationâs settled down for now. Donât worry.â
Georgia and Robert nodded.
But when the police came, the thugs were taken in, but all evidence pointed to it being a coincidence, and even the fire seemed to be accidental.
There wasnât much proof as to anything otherwise.
Georgia felt an inexplicable sense of worry. They sat together at night and discussed it, all suspecting if someone was pulling the strings in the dark.
Georgia laid the suspicion straight on Eric.
They didnât sleep well that night, and early the next morning, there came a ruckus from outside again. This time, it was an even bigger fire spreading over, impossible to control.
Thankfully, there was someone on night shift and everyone evacuated in time, bringing all the precious data they could. What they couldnât bring, they let burn.
They got in their cars and prepared to leave. There was no helping the fire.
Finally, everyone went straight to a hotel to rest and put people on investigating how the fire had happened. They found that it was manmade.
The perpetrator had been caught, but he only insisted that he was deliberate instead of giving up the names of anyone behind him.
âIâll bet itâs Eric. Heâs taking revenge on us and burning that place down deliberately. Sorry, Antonio, I dragged you into this.â
Georgia apologized to Antonio directly and Robert spoke as well.
âIâm sorry, Antonio. Iâll take on all the losses. Iâll even fund it if you need to build another research facility.â
âItâs fine. I knew it was deliberate from the beginning, and the highest probability was that Eric was behind it. That man gets even for everything. If he canât take revenge from other methods, heâll annoy us with all sorts of little troubles. Thatâs the way he does things.
âThe instruments and data left back there werenât that precious to begin with. I just lost a bit of money, thatâs all. Doesnât bother me that much. But I feel like if you build another facility for me, heâll come make more trouble. Thatâs why Iâm a little annoyed. His power in this country is ridiculously massive. If I switch a location, Iâll probably just go through the same thing.â
Georgia was even more guilty now, while Riley suddenly spoke up.
âIâve heard of your reputation before, and now we technically know each other. I know that youâre really curious and really bent on researching Robertâs condition and all sorts of other strange conditions. Iâve told you about my loverâs own condition. You havenât met her yet. Youâve only seen her lab data and her experiences. Iâve got a mature research team in the country. I only got less than half of them over with me this time. Mr. Antonio, Iâd like to hire you to our country to join my research team, then head up that team of mine and continue your research. You could also check in on how my lover is doing.
âIâm sure youâre curious as to whatâs going on with her body. I hope one day you can cure here, and then she can wake up to marry me.â
At Rileyâs words, Georgiaâs eyes lit up and she turned to Riley as well.
âI canât guarantee my capability to arrange a safe haven for you here, Antonio. Came back to our country with us. Robertâs coming back with me as well, since his condition needs constant monitoring. You must be interested in Mr. Priceâs lover and her condition as well. You have your unique instruments, and after coming back to my country, we can guarantee a safe place for you to do your research, and provide all the necessary equipment and funding.
âOver there, even if Eric wants to do something, it wonât be as easy as it is here. At least not to the point where we get petty problems every few days and major incidents every week or so. Heâd have to plan it through if he wants to make trouble.â
As Georgia said that, she turned to Riley, who smiled at her. They were in accord this time around.
Ivan also joined in the persuasion.
âJust think of it as switching a location to live for a while. Youâre not staying with us forever. Didnât you like to travel to begin with? Weâve got a lot of architectural and natural sights. You could go see them from time to time. We definitely wonât let you go bored.â
Since everyone was talking him into it like this, Antonio fell silent for a while, then finally spoke.
âSince youâre inviting me so enthusiastically, Iâll come back to stay with you for a while. I hope that Mr. Priceâs lover can wake up as well, and I hope to figure out the mystery of your bodies within my lifetime. Letâs go have an adventure.â
Antonio promised it, and everyone started planning the return to the country.
Afterwards, security measures got even stricter in case Eric sent people to make trouble again.
Still, this was a hotel at the city center. People did come to try and stir the pot, but they had to pass heavy security every time, and the incidents didnât end up going anywhere.
They steadied up, while Randyâs side also came up with problems.
Heâd found out who it was over in the company on this side of the world making fake accounts, so Randy got ready to take them to prison for punishment.
But then the perpetrator had decided to get violent with Randy right inside the office.
Randyâs elbow had been hurt, getting a knife wound then and there. It wasnât serious, but after going to hospital, he still had to get a plaster cast, and probably would take a few days to recover.
Still, he could get on a plane and fly back, so Randy was planning on going back with them.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 510 Georgia the God of Stocks The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately One day before they were headed back and three days after the fire, Georgia and Robert were planning on going over to that kingdom to take the children back, then return to the country. The others were bound for a plane headed straight back to the country. But before going to sleep at night, Georgia received an anonymous call.
At that moment, she instinctively panicked.
After it connected, Ericâs voice came over the line right away.
âI hear youâre going back with your husband to your country, Miss Lane. Before you go back, Iâd like to give you another gift. Would you like to see it?â
Georgiaâs heart sank. Her hands trembled. Were the children all right? Theyâd only just video called each other.
Seemed like Ericâs body had recovered. She steadied her nerves.
âWhat gift are you talking about? Iâm warning you, Eric, donât think that I have no way of fighting back against you from here. If you want to take it to the end, you can just try it!â
Eric just chuckled.
âDonât jump at shadows, Miss Lane. With all youâve done for me, isnât it just right for me to give you a little something in return?
âYou probably wouldnât guess what gift it is. Have a listen to this voice. Is it familiar?â
At those words, Georgia heard a shrill scream.
Her face went pale.
