Chapter 512

“Well? I said it was a little gift, but if you don’t care about her, you don’t have to worry about her at all. She’s just your cousin, after all. You could very well leave her to die.”

“You’ve gone mad, Eric Wimbledon!”

Georgia roared in rage. Despite her attempt to remain calm on Eric’s side, she couldn’t control her anger any longer in that moment.

The scream had come from Emilia. Her cousin.

They weren’t close enough to the point of Vanessa and the others, but they definitely cared for and trusted each other.

With everything that had happened over here, Emilia had gone out of the country to see her own friends, so Georgia never thought about why Emilia hadn’t come back yet.

Emilia liked to travel outside the country in all sorts of places to begin with. With her mother always sick recently and Georgia having business in the country, she’d asked Emilia to look after her mother.

But with Emilia’s usual personality, she mostly just lingered all around the world.

Emilia was an independent traveler, not some weak little girl. She could deal with thugs and ruffians on her own if she met them.

She’d done martial arts from when she was small, so people were more relaxed with Emilia’s daily safety. She could protect herself, after all, and she’d traveled out there alone like this for several years now.

It could be said that up until now, there had been no incidents.

Georgia couldn’t have imagined that Eric’s grasp would reach Emilia. It was probably that the people around her weren’t good targets, but Emilia was a lone woman traveling out there. Eric had finally found a loophole.

How could she have just left Emilia like that?

Trying to settle her own emotions, Georgia turned to Eric.

“Out with it, then. What are your plans for taking my cousin? We’re in business, Eric. What will it take for you to let my cousin go?”

With Georgia’s words, she was basically admitting defeat.

But she didn’t have a choice. If she dragged someone beside her down with her because of her own business, she couldn’t face her conscience.

She couldn’t very well sit and wait it out, either. Even if she had to pay the price, she had to bring Emilia home.

Otherwise, what was she supposed to say to Emilia’s parents? They might have looked like a calm couple, but Emilia was their only daughter.

“So you do care about this cousin of yours!”

Eric laughed.

“Keep on her!”

Eric’s command was sudden.

Soon, Georgia heard Emilia screaming again.

Her face went pale, her voice trembled, and Eric no longer spoke on the other end of the line.

All she heard was Emilia’s agonized shrieks. The sound almost broke her.

Emilia kept her hair short, and she was cool and boyish.

She was a strong individual. If she wasn’t going through the absolute worst forms of torture, she couldn’t have let out screams like that.

“What is it you want from me, Eric? Just come at me directly. What’s the meaning of hurting an innocent bystander like this?”

“Of course there’s meaning to it!”

Eric finally answered, a smile in his voice.

“You don’t think I’m just going to let Emilia Powell go if you paid me or just suffered a little, do you?

“Back in the beginning when I met you, I was already observing what kind of person you were. Clearly, you value love and family, so Robert Simpson and those two children were the people you cared about the most. Of course, add to that your mother, your friend group with your best friend, and I’d wanted to target them to begin with. But you protected them too well, and I could only back up and take the secondary option, seeing if anyone around you would make a good target.

“Coincidentally, though, this cousin of yours had the guts to travel around the world. Who else was I supposed to target? I could only teach her a lesson after that. I knew you were a kind person to begin with. If you caused people around you to be hurt and in pain, I believe you’d be in great pain, even greater than going through it yourself?

“You put me through so much humiliation, Georgia. If I can’t move on you, then I’ll torture the people around you. I’m telling you, I won’t let Emilia go.

I’ll torture her every day, so you can’t even sleep in your own home. Even if you knelt down to beg me, I won’t let Emilia go.”

“You sick bastard-”

Georgia howled hysterically.

“I won’t let you go, Eric. Anything you do to Emilia, I’ll return to you thousandfold.”

“I’m just waiting for you to come and take revenge. Let’s see who drags who to hell, Georgia. You don’t know me. I’ve been sick for so many years.

I’m already prepared to go to hell. Even if I did fall there, it wouldn’t bother me.

“But before that, I’m happy just making you suffer. Oh, right. Emilia’s actually a pretty tough girl. I didn’t want to torture her so badly, and I’d just wanted to punish her in some simple methods. But she was so willful that she actually bore all of it without making a sound. I’m not to blame.

“I really want to see, actually, if Emilia’s going to come to hate you when she’s suffering on my end. If she’s going to move the grudge to you, and blame you for everything that’s happened. Because you are to blame, Georgia. I want to see the relationship between you two break down, and to see Emilia come after you for revenge. As for you, I want to see how you’ll try to salvage that relationship. I’ve got the popcorn ready!

“Anyway. Good luck leaving the country today. Of course, you can think of a way to come find me. I’m waiting eagerly to see how long it’ll take for you to find me and find Emilia...”

Georgia was going to ask on, but the line had already gone dead.

She redialed like mad, but nobody was picking up anymore.

Georgia slammed a fist onto the desk, her tears dripping across her cheeks.

What was she supposed to do? Emilia was her cousin, and Eric was just a madman. She couldn’t just wait around.

Frantically, Georgia turned around and was about to rush out of the room. Before she could, though, the door opened.

Robert brought Ivan and Randy over.

“What’s happened? Why are you crying?”

Robert saw his wife’s red teary eyes and walked over, worriedly holding her hand. Georgia clutched at him and sobbed, and Robert grew even more pained.
