Robert knelt silently in front of his sister’s photo and then slowly began to explain.
“Mom, I don’t know what you have heard and what you have misunderstood. But I have to tell you the
whole story.”
“Do you still have something to say? I’d like to hear your explanation. Come on, I am sitting right here.
You can try your best and explain clearly what you have done in full details!”
Maisie said coldly, not showing even slight kindness for her son.
When he was young, Robert’s father had an affair with a woman and abandoned his wife and son.
What Maisie hated the most was a man’s affection for another woman as it reminded her of her own
husband and the pain she had suffered.
“About Georgia’s matter, I didn’t help her with anything. Georgia disappeared the day before yesterday.
I did go to the hospital to see her once, but I didn’t do anything.”
Maisie sneered.
“What does it matter to you if she disappears? Why did you go to the hospital to see her? Don’t tell me
that there is no special relationship between you and her. Are you trying to treat your mother as a fool?”
Robert was a little helpless. In fact, he knew it himself that he couldn’t explain why he went to the
hospital clearly.
But right now, it wasn’t the thing that he needed to explain mostly.
Robert continued to speak.
“I went to the hospital to see Georgia and then left. I didn’t know what happened yesterday at all. I only
know that Selena was just in charge the case of Georgia’s disappearance. When they were handling
the case outside and didn’t know why, Eden provoked Selena and even molested her. Selena only
enforced the law impartially but Eden asked the people he knew in the police station and wanted to
teach Selena and her friend a lesson. So, Selena suddenly asked her brother for help. This matter
really had nothing to do with Georgia.”
The more Robert said that this matter had nothing to do with Georgia, the more Georgia was cast aside
and the angrier Maisie became!
She only felt that Robert was getting more and more serious about Georgia now, totally favoring that
woman in his heart.
“Robert, you said that this had nothing to do with Georgia, so why did you go to the hospital to see her?
When Eden’s incident happened yesterday, why was Georgia also there? Isn’t it a trick played by
Georgia that made Eden molest Selena? I don’t believe that Georgia is innocent in all this. Even if she
is innocent, why don’t you help? Eden is Emma’s younger brother, your future brother-in-law and you
let Eden be arrested. Would it show to the outsiders that the Simpson family has no power anymore?
Could anyone just slander the reputation of the Simpson family? ”
“Mom, Eden did something wrong. I just don’t want him to cause trouble again in the future. I think he
needs to learn a lesson. You are really overthinking this.”
Robert explained helplessly but Maisie didn’t believe a word.
“You just continue to argue. I have called Selena over and you are not allowed to interrupt with even
one word at that time. You will honestly kneel in front of your sister and confess!”
Robert was helpless. He continued to kneel in silence.
He also knew why his mother was so angry. His actions really made that it seemed like he cared about
Georgia a lot. It was just a memory from ten years ago, Robert didn’t know how to explain it.
As he was thinking of this, the doorbell rang and Selena arrived.
A few minutes later, Selena came to where Maisie and Robert were.
“Maisie, Robert, hello.”
Selena greeted them politely. She felt a little awkward seeing Robert kneeling on the ground. She had
always felt it was not the place she should be.
Maisie smiled politely and let Selena sit down.
“I have ordered the housekeeper to cook, Selena. I heard that you went to work in the police station? I
always knew that you were excellent and now you are doing what you want to do. Wendy also studied
law back then. If she was still alive, she would have been a lawyer now. you two grew up together, if
Wendy was still alive that would have been great.”
Maisie sighed deeply besides her, making Selena feel a little awkward. She nodded with a faint smile.
After reminiscing for a while, Maisie asked Selena.
“I also knew you were harassed yesterday and that Eden must be taught a lesson! But, Selena, can
you just do me a favor and let him come back to learn a lesson? I will have Robert keep an eye on him
in the future, Eden will never cause trouble again in the future.”
Selena’s face looked a little embarrassed. Maisie was very upset but she was still very gentle and
polite towards Selena.
“Selena, did my request make you feel embarrassed? But if you think about it clearly, why did you meet
Eden when you were outside to deal with Georgia’s case yesterday? Don’t you think that this is all
Georgia’s trick? Wendy had a good relationship with you back then. How could you help Georgia, the
murderer who killed Wendy?”
In the end, Maisie’s tone became very sad.
Selena clasped her ten fingers tightly and kept rubbing them together. After a long time, she raised her
head and spoke to Robert’s mother.
“Maisie, the case of Georgia’s disappearance was assigned to me coincidentally. Georgia would not
have been able to decide anything in this matter! As for yesterday, I went to find Georgia to get her
statement but her friend happened to disappear just then. So, I and my friend, accompanied Georgia to
go and find that person. This was all just a coincidence.”
Maisie fell silent immediately.
She had not expected that Selena would not care about her status like that. The facts had already
made it so clear that all of this had something to do with Georgia. How could all this not be Georgia’s
trick?
“Selena, are you really unwilling to do me this favor? This is obviously Georgia’s trick but both of you
keep saying it is a coincidence. Do you both like Georgia?”
Robert’s mother said in disappointment.
“Mom, you can’t force her to do it. Eden did something wrong, and Selena just wanted to stand up for
herself. Why are you forcing her? If someone committed a crime, they should be punished.”
When Robert said those words, Maisie instantly became furious.
“Must be punished for their crimes? My daughter is dead then why did Georgia not die? How can she
still live just fine in this world and still get help from you guys? You are all friends of Wendy! My Wendy
died so tragically, no one remembered her and all of you were helping her killer!”
Maisie cried out in pain.
Selena raised her head looking puzzled and asked.
“Maisie, I knew that Georgia was the murderer of Wendy’s car crash, but Eden was in the car at that
time too. Why did you help him? Although he was not the driver, wasn’t he one of the accomplices back
then? But he just escaped the punishment of the law. I didn’t know why you helped him? He is total
scum! I have checked his past records. He often makes trouble, fights and plays around with women.
Why would anyone help such a person? And he is also one of the murderers of Wendy’s car crash
even if he was just sitting in the car. But I don’t understand, why are you willing to help such a person? I
really don’t understand, Maisie.”
