A few people were watching, it wasn’t like a fight between shrews but there were mocking each other
sarcastically.
Did they know each other? Georgia thought.
It had been years since Ivan last saw Emilia, seeing her reminded him how he’d been fooled by her,
Ivan said sarcastically.
“Emilia Powell, it’s been six years and you are still always surrounded by men. He is your new gold-
digging target? What number is he?”
Ivan thought Aston, the man beside Emilia was her new boyfriend, his resentment towards Emilia who
fooled and dumped him years ago had never lessened.
He had been looking for Emilia all these years but to no avail, he was not happy.
Emilia left him for money, he was not poor and he gave his heart to this woman, but she fooled him,
which made him hate her.
But this woman disappeared for six years, he could only keep his hatred in his heart and it became
heavier in times.
He could never have thought that he would bump into this woman again at such a party.
Furthermore, there was a handsome young man beside her, they seemed close and this made Ivan
even angrier.
His words were humiliating, Emilia was his sister, how dare this man humiliated her this way, Aston was
angry.
When Aston tried to defend her, Emilia grabbed his arm tightly and smiled at Ivan.
“Ivan Simpson, it’s been years and you are still compulsive and ignorant, what did you mean by target?
He is my husband, we are married and I am rich now. I am a gold digger and like rich man, so what?
Are you jealous?
Ivan’s face stiffened, it disgusted him how reckless the woman before him behaved.
They met in a bar, she was dancing sexily in front of a crowd of men, her dance was seductive, Ivan
was fascinated at that time.
She approached and seduced him, he thought she was nothing but a bar lady of some sort, so he
played along.
They were together for over a month on the romantic Hawaii Island, every day was full of passion and
sweetness.
Without reason, Ivan fell for this woman, he wanted to have a serious relationship with her despite
knowing that she was a bar lady.
Ivan thought he was rich enough to make her quit her job as a bar lady.
But when Ivan confessed his love to her, she mocked and claimed that he was not rich enough, he was
angry the whole night.
She disappeared the next morning and left him a note that she wanted to look for a rich man.
Ivan kept investigating and rumours said that she did find a richer man after him.
Thus, Ivan felt humiliated and keep his hatred towards her in his heart, he was looking for her for
revenge but to no avail.
They finally met again, Ivan couldn’t stop himself from humiliating her but she said she was married.
Ivan was not happy but infuriated.
“You got married? Do you even have the right to get married!”
He looked at Aston coldly afterwards.
“How could you marry such a gold-digger? Aren’t you afraid that she might murder you and use your
money on her toy boys?”
Aston realized his sister’s intention when she grabbed his arm, she was teasing the man in front of
them and he played along.
“Mr, it’s obvious that you are my wife’s ex-boyfriend, your break up meant you are not suitable for her
and if Emilia married me for my money, it means I am richer than you, that’s why she chose me. Why
keep a grudge on a married woman, it’s not a gentleman act… Furthermore, your anger towards a
woman that dumped you makes you look funny.”
Ivan raised his fist to punch Aston hearing his words.
Aston was ready to fight too.
Robert rushed over at this moment and grabbed Ivan’s hand.
“This is a party by the Murphy, it’s Billy Murphy’s birthday. Do you want to make a scene here?”
With Robert’s warning, despite unwilling to, Ivan stopped his actions.
He looked at Aston and Emilia coldly and threw out a warning.
“Both of you shall see!”
Robert dragged him away afterwards.
Georgia appeared before Emilia and Aston out of a sudden.
Emilia blinked naughtily at Georgia and smiled.
Georgia thought she was cute and Aston too smiled at Georgia.
“What a joke, but please keep the secret.”
Emilia at the side nodded too.
“Ms Lane, please keep the secret for us, don’t you think it’s interesting?”
Look like the brother and sister pairs wanted to tease Ivan, she nodded helplessly.
“Alright, I will keep a secret, please remind the professor not to reveal your relation too.”
Emilia nodded.
“You are right, we should do that.”
Emilia turned to her brother, “Aston, go remind the professor at once, don’t tell anyone that we are
cousins.”
Aston nodded, he love his sister, thus, he turned and went for the professor.
Emilia walked towards Georgia and laughed.
“You are quite friendly, I’m Emilia Powell, are you my brother’s girlfriend?”
Georgia shook her head quickly.
“No, you're mistaken, I'm a mother, your brother and I are colleagues.”
Emilia nodded.
“I think my brother likes you, apart from family members, he never looked at other women, I think he
really likes you, is he not?”
Georgia laughed. “We are colleagues, but there was an incident during work where a broken lamp fell
from the ceiling, I pushed your brother aside and sort of saved him.”
Georgia explained with a smile, while Emilia nodded.
“You are his life saviour then, no wonder he paid more attention to you.”
They were chatting happily when Aston walked over.
“I’ve told Professor Lee, rest assure, no one will reveal our identity.”
Emilia laughed. “Isn’t that man funny, he can’t let go after all these years? I have almost forgotten him.”
Emilia said joyfully while Aston gave her a small knock on her head.
“You are too playful, see, you’ve provoked an annoying man.”
Emilia gave out a ‘who cares’ smile.
“Aston, I am still young, what’s the big deal having more than one boyfriends? I wasn’t serious with
him, who knew that he would turn serious, he’s such a fool to be easily seduced.”
Georgia smiled listening to their conversation, she didn’t know what to say but when she recalled their
conversation with Professor Lee, she asked curiously.
“It might be offending to ask, but you were speaking about a missing child with Professor Lee, is your
family member missing?”
Emilia let out a sigh hearing Georgia’s question, Aston turned serious too.
“Georgia, you met that child before, Lucas from the video, remember? You spoke to him… Lucas went
missing at home a few days ago, rumours have it that he was brought back to China, most probably D
City, hence, Aston came back from the States to look for him. I took leave these few days, Aston and I
had been looking for Lucas but to no avail.”
Georgia remembered Lucas was around five years old, similar to Annie, he went missing? Georgia
became worried too.
Georgia would have gone insane if it was Annie that gone missing.
“I see, no wonder I didn’t see you at work these few days, I hope he would be found soon. I remember
he was a cute and smart boy, he should be alright.”
Aston gave out a worrisome smile, Emilia too, both of them looked unhappy like something heavy was
weighing on their hearts.
They went separate ways where Emilia and Aston went to see Billy Murphy while Georgia went to the
washroom.
Georgia heard Emma and Flora’s voice when she was about to get out of the washroom, she hesitated
and stopped her hand that was about to open the door.
The conversation between the mother and daughter made Georgia’s face stiffened.
Emma and Flora were washing their hands in front of the mirror and Flora asked curiously.
“Emma, it has been six years, do you think the black box in that car still exists? I think it’s unlikely but
both you and your father are always worried about this, the truth was not revealed and I believe it’s
going to be fine too now.”
Emma understood this perfectly, they didn’t worry for six years but Selena appeared out of nowhere
and witnessed Eden chasing Wendy with his car.
Due to their carelessness, the Simpsons now was suspecting the Lane!
“Better be safe than sorry, Mom, there’s still a tiny possibility that the black box in that car had the
recording of how the accident happened. If it was revealed we will be doomed, we need to find the car
and black box, best is to delete the video.”
Flora sighed. “Luck is not on our side, how did Selena witness the incident in the bar? The preparation
of your wedding to Robert was almost done…”
Emma comforted her. “It’s alright, Robert hasn’t canceled our wedding plan, our wedding is set to be in
March next year, I am still his fiancé as long as we are still engaged. There’s still a chance, I won’t give
up till the last minute.
They left the washroom while chatting.
Their conversation kept repeating in Georgia’s mind, the black box and video recording that they
mentioned was about the car accident that put her into jail. It must be it.
If there was a recording, didn’t that mean she could prove her innocence?
