Chapter 513

Georgia cried at Robert.

“He’s taken Emilia. I heard her screaming over the phone. You met Emilia. She’s strong. If it wasn’t the worst torture, she wouldn’t be in such pain. I already lowered my head to Eric and tried to negotiate with him, but all he told me was that he just wants to torture me and torture the people close to me. We can’t go back now. We have to find Emilia...”

Georgia trembled and spoke about what had just happened, and Robert’s face sank.

He hadn’t said anything yet when Ivan spoke up in a panic.

“Be clearer about it, Georgia. What’s Emilia’s situation? What did Eric do to her?”

Georgia shook her head unbearably.

“He just gave me a call and I heard Emilia’s pained screams in there. It’s her voice, I know it. Eric wouldn’t just get someone to pretend to be Emilia to frighten me.”

“Give me Emilia’s phone number, Georgia. We’ll try calling her first.”

Georgia knew that Ivan was chancing it on the one lucky hope, and it was true that she hadn’t called to confirm it.

Afterwards, everyone waited anxiously in the room as Ivan called.

Ivan called Emilia several dozen times, but nobody picked up.

Robert had already put his people on investigating Emilia’s whereabouts, and where she’d gone recently.

Georgia also gave Wilson orders.

They’d been planning on going back today, but that interrupted all their plans.

Not long afterwards, Aston, Antonio, Riley and Leda came over as well.

Georgia explained the situation in brief, and Aston was worried sick as well. He gave his parents a call and had the Powell family hurry up and investigate Emilia’s whereabouts. Another investigation, another slim hope.

After about three hours, they finally confirmed that Emilia really had disappeared.

When she’d gone over to the southern continent to meet a friend, she’d vanished in a village and there had been no traces of her ever since.

Georgia could also be sure that she’d heard Emilia’s voice.

The only possibility left was that Emilia was going through hell over in Eric’s hands.

“With all the property Eric’s lost, did he really take Emilia for no other intention other than to torture her?”

Riley asked from the side, and Georgia nodded painfully.

“I talked with him over the phone and told him that he could give any terms he wanted, but he’s lost his mind. He says that so long as he tortures the people close to me, it’ll hurt me, so he won’t talk terms with me. He wants me to know my friend’s suffering every day and every night, so I’ll suffer as well and lose sleep every day. He’s just a sick bastard. There’s no negotiating with this sort of person. All we can do is find out where he is or give him an even greater chance to profit, forcing him to give her back.”

Ivan suddenly turned around and punched the wall furiously. Everyone in the room was taken aback.

They watched as Ivan’s fingers started to bleed, but he didn’t stop letting out his motions.

Robert walked over and tried to soothe him.

“I know you want to let it all out now, but the most important thing now is to find out where Eric is, or something we can use to threaten him to show himself. We need to keep calm now.”

Ivan looked with a bloodred gaze at Robert, then turned and walked over to Georgia.

“Since you knew what kind of person Eric was, Georgia, you’ve been reminding us to keep safe all this while. Why didn’t you warn Emilia? She wasn’t safe out there alone, so why didn’t you tell her about it?”

Ivan almost howled that in his rage, and Georgia dipped her head, her eyes red.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think far enough, and I dragged Emilia down with me...”

Ivan sneered.

“It’s not that you didn’t think far enough, Georgia. You just didn’t include Emilia in your range of protection. You care about your children, Robert, your mother, your best friends Vanessa and Elsie, and who else matters to you? What good will your guilt do us now? Emilia’s the one in pain right now.”

“Enough!”

Robert walked over, his face cold.

“This was my mistake and Georgia’s mistake, but where do you get off busting her chops? I know you like Emilia, but who are you to her? Georgia’s been working every day in the lab and worrying over my body every day, and you? You didn’t need to do experiments, and you didn’t need to deal with business either. All you did was manage small affairs. If you were so concerned with Emilia, why didn’t you call her?”

At Robert’s words, Ivan’s face contorted in agony, and Robert immediately felt guilty.

“I’m sorry. All I’m saying is, sometimes people miscalculate. But the most important thing to do right now is to save the person in question. Do you get it? It’s not the time to place blame on each other and throw tantrums.”

Georgia took Robert’s hand.

“It was my fault to begin with. He might be hurting, Robert, but what he says is true.”

Ivan suddenly turned around.

“I’m sorry, Georgia.”

At that, Ivan walked out the door with his phone. Seemed like he was mobilizing his connections to help find Emilia.

Ivan’s connections were broad to begin with. He’d lost his cool for a while, but it was coming back in spades now. He was out looking for help.

“Ivan’s always like that. He’s never mature about emotions. Don’t blame him. He’s let it all out with what he’s said. He actually doesn’t want to blame you. He’s blaming himself.”

Robert said that, while Georgia gave a bitter smile and shook her head.

“I blame myself too. It’s fine that he gives me hell for it. I should have called Emilia to warn her in the first place. I just never habitually thought of her as someone I had to protect. I’m responsible for this.”

Aston, who’d been silent all throughout, finally spoke.

“Everyone calm down. Emilia’s my cousin and Georgia’s cousin. We never wanted this sort of thing to happen. Besides, the real culprit is Eric. He’s probably just itching to see us in discord and blaming each other.

“The most important thing right now is to put our heads together and use our own connections to find Emilia, as well as think of a way to force Eric to appear. We forced him out with financial warfare one time, and we can find a way to force him out again. With all the things he cares about, I don’t believe he’ll be able to hide in the back.”

Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison Chapter 512 Emilia’s in Trouble The Unexpected Marriage Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately Aston said that, and Georgia and Robert nodded.

“I’ve got my own connections and power as well. I’ll call them and put them on it. Everyone, just think of a way to find her. Notify each other of any news.”

Riley turned to everyone and said that, and Georgia nodded.

She put Wilson and her people on it immediately, while Robert had Randy and their own force start the search.

Just as everyone was thinking of a way to search, old man Powell gave Georgia and Robert a call and had them go back to explain things.

After all, Emilia was an official granddaughter of the Powell family, the only daughter of Georgia’s second uncle.

Because of Robert and Georgia, Emilia had been dragged into their business and had disappeared. With the old man’s stubborn personality and Emilia’s parents waiting in the Powell family, Georgia and Robert were still giving their people orders to find Emilia when they got in a car and headed to the Powell family.

After an hour or so, they arrived before the massive gates of the Powell house.

After going in, the old man had the head seat.

It was the same as when they’d shown up the first time, and Aston’s parents had come over as well.

They sat on the sofa to the left, and on the sofa to the right sat Emilia’s parents.

A little vexingly, Tammy and Sally were here today as well, looking at them a bit mockingly.
