“You've promised me before that you'll cooperate with my men to investigate the man in the video. Last
night I have already let you leave, do you still want to stay in Vanessa's place? Don't forget what you've
promised me.”
Elsie just directly asked Alfred.
“Have you seen those news on the newspaper? Have you seen the public opinion on the Internet?”
Alfred had seen all that, but he felt that the matter was unrelated at all.
“That's the matter between Georgia and Robert, it has nothing to do with us.”
“Then you're wrong, do you know that netizens have already investigated this apartment that Vanessa
and I are living in? The reporters have blocked the neighborhood, I even feel that someone with bad
intention keeps staring at this apartment, if I leave soon, I'm worried that Vanessa will be bullied...
She's a weak woman, I don't want to leave now unless you promise me to send someone to protect
Vanessa.”
Alfred was indeed surprised, he didn't even think that Georgia's matter would involve Vanessa and the
place she's living in.
According to what Elsie said, Vanessa was quite in danger at that time.
He had wanted to pick Vanessa and Elsie up to live in another safe place... But Rachel watched at him,
such way was truly risky.
“Don't worry, I'll find one or two dependable men to protect Vanessa around her apartment. When they
arrive, you'll come out with my men and cooperate for the investigation, is that okay?”
Elsie was very satisfied with such way, she agreed to Alfred through the call.
“Don't you worry, I'll leave as long as we get your men, I wouldn't want to lose that 5 million.”
After they ended the call, Elsie simply told Vanessa about what they talked about in the call.
Vanessa laughed instead.
“I'll lock myself inside the apartment, there's a grocery store on the first floor of my apartment and I
don't even need to go out to the neighborhood, don't tell me that those reporters will keep watching me
for my whole life?”
Elsie shook her head instead.
“You've said it, someone deliberately made their revenge with this matter... Do not overestimate
people's morals and most of them are irrational, when he already set a standpoint beforehand, you're
just a bad guy, these guys can only look at you getting bullied coldly, I'm afraid that the mastermind that
you mentioned will find someone to insult you and even harm you... Even if you just get humiliated by
people with evil intent, even if you just get yelled at by people around you, I can't bear it."
Vanessa couldn't help laughing, but she didn't persist.
“Since you insisted on finding someone to protect me, how could I not appreciate it.”
Alfred wouldn't talk directly to her anyway, people who'd come and protect her wouldn’t be Alfred either,
Vanessa wouldn't fuss over such small matter too.
In the afternoon, Alfred did send someone to protect Vanessa and someone else to bring Elsie away.
What surprised Vanessa was, Alfred would come to their apartment.
Vanessa didn't say anything, Alfred just silently glanced at her before bringing Elsie away.
Alfred Left two people outside of Vanessa's apartment, a man and a woman which both looked like they
had bodyguard training.
If there's any order, Vanessa could let that couple help her.
There's almost no groceries left in her fridge, Vanessa didn't want to experience the reporters either, so
she asked the two bodyguards.
“I'll go down for some groceries, you'll follow me by my side or you'll buy the groceries for me?”
“Miss Cooke, of course it's up to you... If you want to go down and choose it yourself we'll accompany
you by your side, or say the groceries you want to buy and we'll buy it.”
Vanessa hesitated, she actually wanted to see how many reporters were out there and see their faces.
But Vanessa wouldn’t want it if her curiosity would cause problem for herself and make Georgia feel
guilty.
In the end she took a piece of paper out and wrote what she needed to buy on it.
“Thank you.”
The female bodyguard went out with that piece of paper, the male bodyguard kept guarding in front of
the door.
Vanessa went back to her own apartment, but right at that time she saw a stranger's number calling.
She accepted the call and a woman suddenly cursed at her.
“You slut... So shameless, I heard that you're Georgia's friend... Are you just like Georgia who seduces
men everyday, how could people like you still have the nerve to be in this world...”
Vanessa hung up, from that call she could see that her phone information had been exposed and that's
why there were netizens calling her to vent their anger.
Not long after, Vanessa realized that there were more and more calls coming to her cellphone.
Vanessa immediately called Georgia.
“Georgia, my cellphone number got leaked, now there are many people that are calling me like crazy,
not sure whether I have really provoked netizens or someone deliberately set me up... I'll temporarily
shut my phone off and tell someone to buy me a new phone number, you don’t need to worry if you
can't call me later.”
Georgia was very sorry.
“Sorry for involving you.”
Vanessa smiled as she shook her head.
“I'll just watch several dramas these days, the media reporters are just looking for the heat of the
moment, they won't possibly keep watching me for the whole year, I'll just be quite bored at home, I
won't go out and let people injure me.”
Georgia felt at ease, Vanessa then asked again.
“When I called you this noon, you said that she's sleeping... I want to talk with Annie now, can I?”
Annie was playing in the playroom at that time, Georgia nodded.
“She's playing with toys now, I'll hand her the cellphone.”
Georgia walked up to Annie.
“Annie, Vanessa says she want to talk with you, Mommy will give you the phone, talk more with
Vanessa, okay?”
Even the toy in front of Annie was really fascinating, it had been more than a day since Annie was
separated from Vanessa so of course she wanted so speak with Vanessa.
When Georgia handed her phone to Annie, Annie started talking with Vanessa in excitement.
Talking about the toys here, they looked like they could talk for a very long time on the phone.
Georgia left the playroom and walked up to Robert.
“Netizens found Vanessa's phone number too, I'm quite worried that they'll affect my work colleagues.”
By the way, she only had good relationship with Aston in MU, and Professor Lee who had helped her.
Georgia was scared that the public opinion would be known by Professor Lee and Aston.
She had seen remarks on the internet that defamed her relationship with Professor Lee, Georgia didn't
mind getting insulted but she’d still mind it if it involved the people around her.
“Don’t worry, tonight we'll put the first public opinion wave, we have contacted the marketing company
specialist, we'll expose it bit by bit and it'll be fun tonight.”
Georgia didn't ask much about Robert's plan, it's just that, someone knocked on the villa's door when
she's going to prepare dinner, the housekeeper walked to Robert's side.
“Sir, your Uncle is here.”
Since Robert got kidnapped last time, the company's matters were fully under Alex’s, Robert's Uncle's
control.
Even if Robert was back, he didn't return to work at the company either but he just kept on recuperating
leisurely.
Robert didn’t contact him at all but then Alex came over, Robert then smiled meaningfully.
“Let him in.”
After saying that, Robert introduced him to Georgia.
“Someone will come in a moment, he's my father's younger cousin and also my Uncle, his name is
Alex, the most capable person in the Simpson family else than me... After I got kidnapped this time, he
took my place to handle company's affairs to stabilize the stocks price and company's morale. After I
came back, I didn't return to the company and didn't contact him either, now he's here, guess what will
my Uncle do?”
From Robert's tone of speaking, Georgia could hear that Robert didn't really like his Uncle.
“He wants to get a hold of your position?”
After Georgia asked that, Robert laughed.
“Else than him, there are so many people who wants to get a hold of my position, you don't need to
think about such thing, but now he's definitely looking for me because of what happened on the
internet.”
When they were talking, Robert's Uncle Alex had come up to Robert.
“Robert, when will you give a definite answer for what happened on the internet? How should it be
taken care of? Now the company's PR department doesn't even know what to do.”
After saying that, Alex then coldly looked at Georgia.
“Don't tell me that you want to be with the person that killed your little sister? The stakeholders have
objections, you must give an explanation now.”
“Robert, for the sake of the company, you and Emma should open a media reporters conference now,
say that everything is a misunderstanding, you two are still preparing for the wedding, and then
announce the wedding date.”
