As soon as Laurence finished his words, Robert’s face changed.
“You don’t have to lie in front of me. Do you think I will let them go? I’m telling you. That’s impossible!”
“I don’t care whatever you do to them. I’ve done all I can for them these years. They’ve been carving
for more money from me. I could satisfy them in the past. But now, I lose my patience with them. And
do you know why you could find them?”
Lawrence suddenly gave a weird smile.
“That’s because of my misleading. These years I’ve been putting the word out that they are my love
and I hid them from others. If someone wants to use my weakness to threaten me, he will find my wife
and daughter. Then he will know he is wrong. Look, I have no family at all. Do you think you can find
my weakness to threaten me? That’s ridiculous!”
Lawrence sneered. Robert gazed at him. He was not sure if Lawrence was telling the truth or testing
him on purpose.
Now they were confronting each other. The mother and daughter were Robert’s first cards. If what
Lawrence said was true, then Robert would lose half of his bargaining chips.
They faced each other. Lawrence laughed.
“Now you have two choices. You can choose only one person from Georgia and Annie. Do you want
your wife or your daughter?”
Lawrence’s men immediately turned their guns on Georgia and Annie.
“If you dare to go on, I’ll also let them move!”
Robert still suspected that Lawrence lied and just pretended to be indifferent.
But Lawrence suddenly pointed at Georgia’s kneel.
A shot rang out. Georgia felt a sharp pain in her leg where the bullet was in.
Robert was nearly driven mad. He spoke to his men on the video. His man shot the woman in her leg.
Lawrence stayed calm and spoke to Robert.
“I said I don’t care about them. Now I give you one more chance. Do you want Georgia or Annie? You
can only choose one.”
How could Robert make a choice? He asked his men to shot Lawrence’s daughter. Lawrence sneered.
“Now that you don’t make a choice, I will choose for you. Throw Georgia to the sea!”
Robert could not hold himself this time. He flipped the switch on his wheelchair.
Immediately, a pungent smell filled the air. At the same time, some parachutes fell and the men under
the parachutes started shooting with machine guns.
The smell was created by chemicals. Soon the gas was released into the air and became green
smoke. People couldn’t see anything as if they were blind.
Robert now knew that Lawrence didn’t care about his wife and daughter. He could only make his final
effort.
Robert’s men fell from the air. They wore special glasses to see things clearly through the smoke.
The dark green smoke could not last for long. And chaos was around Robert.
When the smoke dissipated, Robert saw Lawrence’s men on the beach were killed.
And Georgia was saved by his man.
But Kayden wasn’t hurt. She even held Georgia in her arms. Robert’s face changed immediately.
Lawrence put his gun against Annie’s head right away.
“Robert. You do prepare well. You save your wife, but you can’t save your daughter. Ask your men to
stop, or I shoot her now!”
Georgia almost broke down at this moment. She cried and begged Robert.
“Robert, please stop … he will shoot Annie … please stop…”
Georgia cried, even though she knew giving up meant the destruction of all people.
But how could she watch Lawrence kill her daughter? Lawrence grinned hideously.
“Miss Lane, I give you a chance. If you could jump into the sea, I will let your daughter go. Otherwise, I
will shoot her now!”
Lawrence realized that he could not use force to kill Robert.
But if Georgia died in front of him, he would suffer great pain.
Georgia froze for a while, then she saw Lawrence shoot Annie in her arm.
“Lawrence, you said you will let my daughter go!”
At that moment, Georgia turned around and jumped into the sea without hesitation.
It all happened so fast. Robert suddenly felt his heart stopped and the sky clouded over.
Robert didn’t care anything now. He just wanted to kill Lawrence.
But he must save Georgia first.
Robert asked his men to jump into the sea and save Georgia. Lawrence sneered with his gun against
Annie’s head.
“If you ask your man to save Georgia, I will kill your daughter!”
Robert thought of Georgia’s begging and her desperate look, he didn’t dare to speak.
If anything happened to Annie, Georgia would never forgive him.
Lawrence smiled with satisfaction.
“I said I don’t care that mother and daughter. You are fooled. You thought they were my family.”
Lawrence knew he might lose. He just wanted to make Robert suffered in his last moment.
Georgia had jumped into the sea. When he threw Annie into the sea later, he would drive Robert mad
completely. Robert would wish to die.
Lawrence just said it out.
He found that a helicopter was flying over. Someone spoke to him through a loudspeaker.
“Lawrence, stop. Do you remember me? I’m Casey.”
Lawrence’s face changed at once.
Didn’t Casey die long ago? How could she be still alive? Lawrence watched the helicopter land in front
of him.
Then a familiar woman who had been disappeared for many years walked slowly to him. Lawrence’s
lips became to tremble.
“Why you are still alive? I was outside the operating room and the doctor told me your operation
failed…”
Lawrence still remembered. A couple of years ago, he wasn’t the known Mr. Knight, and he got a lot of
enemies.
On one occasion, when he was hunted by his enemy, Casey took a bullet for him. But Casey died in
the operating room.
Lawrence was sad about it for many years. The death of Casey made him a cold-blooded person. His
heart was empty. And no one could touch him for so many years later. He no longer cared about
anything.
Except that he became paranoid and crazy after he lost his legs.
But now, Casey showed up in front of him.
Robert’s face changed, too. Wasn't this woman his father’s second wife? Why would she come here?
She seem to know Lawrence. Tears streamed down her face. Her voice was trembling.
“Where is Georgia? Is she captured by you? Where is she?”
Lawrence looked at Casey with a glazed look. He couldn’t believe what happened in front of him. He
pushed his wheelchair to Casey.
“You’re alive. You didn’t die…”
Lawrence smiled happily. But Casey suddenly kneeled in front of Lawrence.
“Lawrence, just for the sake of me saving your life once, tell me where Georgia is. I know you took her
here. I beg you to let her go. She is my daughter. Please let her go…”
Lawrence was shocked.
“What did you say? Georgia is your daughter? Are you serious?”
Casey held Lawrence’s hands in tears.
“I’m not lying. She is my daughter. Where is she? Lawrence, I never ask you for anything for so many
years. I almost died for you. Could you let go of my daughter? Please? Do you remember what I told
you? I said I had a daughter before. But I was abandoned by my husband. I could only make a living in
the bar and wish I could have enough money to find my daughter back. But later, I was shot and out of
consciousness. I lost my memory when I woke up. I didn’t remember anything in the past. I forgot that I
have a daughter. But now, I remember everything. Please let her go. Lawrence, please…”
Robert was in shock. He heard Casey’s story. It seemed she was the last hope of saving Georgia.
Robert hurriedly said.
“He forced Georgia to jump into the sea. Save Georgia now!”
Robert ordered his men anxiously.
He was betting that Lawrence wouldn’t hurt Annie at this time.
Casey looked at Lawrence in shock. Her voice trembled.
“Is what he said true? Lawrence, tell me. Is it true?”
Lawrence closed his eyes in pain. Things happened too quickly. He couldn’t believe what happened
now.
“Yes. I forced Georgia to jump into the sea.”
Lawrence admitted what he did.
Suddenly, Casey slapped Lawrence in his face.
“Lawrence, are you mad? You hate Robert. But Georgia has nothing to do with it! She is my daughter.
Let your men save her. Save her now … just for the sake of me saving your life, you shouldn’t treat me
like that. How could you do this to me…”
Casey questioned Lawrence painfully. Lawrence said to Kayden.
“Give Annie back to them,”
Casey noticed the gunshot wound in Annie’s leg. She felt dizzy.
“Lawrence, what did you do exactly?”
Casey asked in grief, but Lawrence didn’t answer. Robert told Casey.
“Georgia was shot. Now she’s been in the sea for several minutes. Annie was also shot by him. If you
really are Georgia’s mother and Annie’s grandmother. Take Annie and Georgia away. Lawrence and I
will settle our grudge alone. Lawrence, if you are a man, don't involve innocent people. Let’s settle our
issue personally.”
Lawrence was on the verge of total derangement. He had planned it for so long. He hated Robert for so
long. But when Casey showed up, only one thing filled his mind.
Casey had to stay with him. His days were numbered. No matter the injury of his legs, the
complications, or his cancer were all killing him.
He suddenly said to Casey.
“If you could stay with me for one year, I will set all people here free. I just want you to stay by my side
for one year.”
Casey closed her eyes painfully. She had no time to hesitate, so she nodded immediately.
“If you could save Georgia and let go of her, Annie, and Robert, I will fulfil your wish.”
Robert was Aidan’s son. Georgia was her daughter. And Annie was her granddaughter. Casey thought
she had to say yes.
Now she just wanted to save them all.
As soon as Casey promised, Lawrence got excited. He thought Casey would refuse him. He didn’t care
where she had been and what she had done these years, or who was with her. He just wanted her to
stay by his side for his last year.
He didn’t care about Georgia and Robert, and even ignored his grudge with Robert. His only wish was
to keep the only love in his life by his side. He was even willing to forget his hatred.
Soon Robert saw Georgia was saved from the water. He rushed to her with a stick. His men gave
Georgia first aid and then Georgia spewed a mouthful of water.
Casey was also happy to see this. She rushed over to Georgia.
Georgia, the daughter she had forgotten for over ten years. If it not for the letter sent by Aidan’s
secretary, she would never remember it.
At that moment, she didn’t hesitate and came over right away by helicopter. She must save her
daughter.
If she could save Robert, that would be a pay back for Aidan’s years of care.
She had been loved for over ten years, knowing nothing about her past. But now she should take the
responsibility as a mother.
“Take Georgia and Annie away. They are injured. I’ll stay here. I promised him. I will hold up to my
promise. You have to protect Georgia and Annie. You understand?”
Casey talked to Robert seriously. Robert nodded.
Lawrence looked at Casey from behind, feeling happy and greedy. He got strong possessive. He must
have Casey by his side. He was so surprised at the regaining of his love that he almost forgot his
planned revenge.
Kayden frowned and said.
“Mr. Knight. Something seems wrong. Something is wrong here…”
Suddenly, a bomb exploded on the beach.
Robert wanted to do something. But it was too late. Robert passed out.
The island was in a mess. Robert’s men came over. Ivan’s men also came over. Lawrence’s men were
losing ground. But none of them expected that an unknown force would show up. People on the island
were in chaos.
When the explosion subsided, people found that only Robert disappeared among all people.
Georgia and Annie were sent to the hospital. She was shot and soaked in the water for long.
The operation succeeded. But Georgia was asleep. Even the doctor could not tell when she would
wake up.
