When Georgia asked this, Vanessa was immediately reminded of something.
“Alfred had already arranged the other things long ago. I don’t know how he explained the matter that I
became the bride. I don’t care about it much, the only thing I care about is one thing. Gigi, you know
that I have loved wedding dresses since childhood. It’s too late now to customize a unique wedding
dress. However, Alfred has agreed to let me go to a private high-end custom wedding dress store to
choose a wedding dress. When will you be free? Can you come and choose one with me? I hope we
both can choose a beautiful wedding dress together. You will be my bridesmaid.”
This was once an agreement between them, no matter who got married, even if they were married and
had children, only they could be each other’s bridesmaids.
Rules were rigid but the people were always flexible. They were never going to find someone else to be
their bridesmaids.
Georgia nodded immediately and agreed.
“I have to go to work during the day. Vanessa, when your appointment to choose the wedding dress is
fixed, I can come to choose with you in the afternoon. Don’t choose the morning section, I feel guilty to
ask for leave from work now.”
Vanessa laughed.
“I am also working during the day. Don’t worry, it will definitely be after you get off work.”
They talked about their wedding dress preferences for a bit and then hung up.
Georgia was in a good mood but the Lane family had become increasingly chaotic.
Eden was sent to the emergency room.
He had withdrawal syndrome and injured many medical staffs when he was in madness.
After they sedating him and operating on him, the doctor came out from the operation room and told
the Lane family about his condition.
“Many of Eden’s ribs were bruised heavily and all of his internal organs have suffered minor injuries of
varying degrees. He must have been beaten up very badly. Also, Eden was also violated by a man.”
When the doctor uttered this sentence, Owen’s whole face became so desolate that he could not speak
at all.
His expressions were twisted. If he hadn’t known that this was done on the Holland family’s orders, he
even would like to call a bunch of people to kill the one who harmed his son.
Flora burst into tears besides him.
She had been wondering that how come Eden had not even spoken a word after seeing her, looking so
gloomy. How could there be such a sinister method of doing something?
Her son was violated by a man. Who could bear this kind of shame and humiliation?
After the doctor left, Owen suddenly slapped Flora on her face.
Flora staggered and then fell to the ground.
“Dad, why are you hitting mom?”
Emma yelled anxiously before kneeling down and helping her mother to get up.
Flora clutched her cheek which was still hurt painfully as tears streamed down her face.
“Owen, what is the matter with you? Eden is still lying in the ward, why are you taking out your anger
on me?”
Flora had always been so powerless in front of her husband that she trembled as she said this one
sentence in rebuttal.
Owen pointed to the woman in front of him, looking like he was about to explode.
“It’s you who spoiled Eden. Such a good boy unexpectedly addicted to drugs. Previously when he lost
millions in gambling and you still said that he lost control of himself for a bit. Now he has taken drugs.
Do you know what it means to take drugs? Who is going to save him? Who can save him?”
Owen roared loudly. Eden was his only son. Originally he had considered him as an heir, now he
turned out to be like an useless coward. And furthermore, he was addicted to drugs now, completely
hopeless.
Owen valued his heir a lot. It was not that he had not been with other women outside all these years,
but none of the women was able to conceive and gave birth. Even if someone got pregnant, the child
she gave birth to wasn’t his.
Therefore, he always cherished Eden as a treasure.
Who knew that he had unexpectedly spoiled Eden into being a drug addict. Looking at Eden who was
going to ruin the Lane family, Owen felt like his whole heart was bleeding now.
He felt that it was Flora who had spoiled Eden. His questioning made Flora cry in an instant.
“Owen, someone must have done something bad to Eden. Eden has never gotten into these things
before. He was just capricious, mostly got involved in fights and caused troubles only. You can’t give up
on Eden. We must save Eden and help him to get rid of his drug addiction…”
Owen just looked at his wife exhaustedly.
At that time, he had also liked Flora’s ability to give birth to his children. All these years, he had been
busy with his business but this made Flora have completely ruined his son.
Taking a deep breath, Owen looked at Emma.
“Emma, come home with me. I have something to discuss with you.”
After saying this, Owen looked at Flora again.
“You stay here and take care of our son. If something happens to him, then you will have to leave the
Lane family!”
After speaking coldly, he turned around and left.
Emma looked at her mother worriedly and held her hand.
“Mom, don’t worry. Dad is angry right now. Eden has suffered such a big grievance this time, and now
he has been exposed of taking drugs. Dad’s anger is completely justified. We have to find a way to
make Eden quit drugs, otherwise his life would really be ruined…”
Flora just cried and nodded. Emma helplessly ran to follow Owen’s footsteps immediately.
After the father and daughter returned home, Owen took Emma to the study room.
“You saw everything today. Do you have any idea of what to do in the future?”
Owen sat down and asked Emma coldly.
Now, Maisie had begun to suspect that the Lane family lied on the car accident. Robert also didn’t
seem to believe them either. Seeing that this marriage was about to be ruined, it had become
particularly difficult for the Lane family.
Eden’s matter made Owen really angry, but he knew that the murderer in the car accident was the
matter that needed to be resolved most at the moment.
If Robert and Maisie came to know that they let Georgia take blame for the crime that Eden committed,
then it was going to be the end of the Lane family. This was absolutely not allowed to happen.
Eden had been abandoned and Georgia had also become his enemy. Owen understood that at the
moment the only person he could continue to use was his daughter.
“Dad, the worst case will be if they find out the truth, but we can’t let that happen. At the very least, we
have to make sure that the other party never finds out the truth forever because at that time they will
hate us the most.”
Emma spoke faintly.
She was also very annoyed by what happened today. Because of Eden, Emma really believed that the
other party would really destroy her at this moment.
“It is not enough…”
Owen said definitively.
“Even if they can’t find the actual murderer in the Lane family, their disgust will make Robert and his
mother reject the marriage. Emma, we must find a way this time and right now, there is only one way.”
Owen muttered to himself.
Emma raised her head to look at her father, did not understand what he meant for a while.
“Dad, what are you talking about? Back then we handled all the matters relating to the car accident
perfectly. Even if Robert investigates, he will definitely not be able to find any clues.”
“Selena saw Eden drive to catch up with Wendy, but Selena did not see what happened after that. We
can continue to argue these things. They won’t be able to find out the truth but they will definitely doubt
us. We have to find a way to prove that Georgia drove the car…”
“Emma, of course we have to do this but you still have another important matter. Your wedding was
originally going to be in next year March, but now it can’t be delayed anymore. Emma, you must be
hurry and find a way to become pregnant with Robert’s child. Only this way our Lane family can survive
this crisis.”
“Dad, Robert doesn’t touch me at all!”
Emma’s words were filled with indignation.
“I don’t know what the hell he means by it. I tried many times but he didn’t touch me at all. How can I
get pregnant?”
Emma also felt very embarrassed.
“I will figure out a solution right away. How can a man not cheat? If he is not interested in you then
make him have interest by giving him medicine. You wait patiently, next Thursday, the old master
Murphy will hold his sixtieth birthday banquet. Robert will definitely participate in the big event and as
he still hasn’t rejected the marriage yet you can participate in it too. At that time, I will tamper there so
you can make it happen with him.”
Emma naturally wanted to be pregnant with Robert’s child. She could feel that Robert was very
inconsiderate to her. Only if she was pregnant, maybe he was going to pay attention to her.
It was just that pregnancy was not something she could easily get even after having sex. She asked
worriedly.
“Dad, even if you arrange for me to be with Robert at the banquet, I can’t guarantee that I will get
pregnant.”
Owen sneered.
“Do you think I will arrange it like this? I am just asking you to find a way to get Robert’s sperm, and
then we will get you artificially inseminated in the hospital. Don’t worry I will arrange someone
professional.”
Emma nodded in relief. This way was more insuring.
“Dad, you must plan carefully. This is the only banquet that Robert will be attending currently. We must
be well prepared.”
After the father and daughter discussed the plan to deal with Robert, Owen thought about the matter
that the hotel had called and informed him today.
“Robert and Georgia have already found the information of the hotel receptionist during that time, Julie.
We had already sent Julie away at that time and I will warn her again. You don’t need to worry about
her.”
Emma nodded. During that time, she had already prepared everything about the car accident. She was
not afraid of Robert and Georgia’s investigation.
They were never going to find out the real truth. They would only find out the truth that she created.
Everyone held their own thoughts and carefully lived their days. Georgia took Travis for a brain
examination, but the results were not out yet.
As for Robert, he was looking for his own staff and investigating the matter of the car accident.
Georgia went to work during the day and then went to the hospital to accompany Travis at noon.
Every day, she ate the food according to the nutritionist’s recommendation and strove to supply her
body with nourishment in the hope that the child in her belly could develop healthily.
The days repeated, Selena called Georgia. The police were now investigating the disappearance case.
Right now, it had changed from a disappearance case to a murder case as the autopsy report proved
that Chester was killed.
The police were now extracting various data from Chester’s body. The autopsy report had not been
completed yet. Selena let Georgia relax and Georgia could only stop thinking about Chester for the
time being.
After two days of work, on Thursday afternoon, Georgia accompanied Vanessa to the top wedding
dress studio in the D City to choose the wedding dress she wanted.
