Aston texted her this morning and said he would be returning home today.
Georgia had a lot of things she wanted to talk to Aston about, and it just so happened that they hadn't
seen each other again for a long time, so she decided to go to the airport to pick him up herself.
Of course, Georgia now took bodyguards and assistants with her when she went out. So when she
appeared at the entrance of the airport, Aston asked with amusement.
"Are you going out so grand now?"
"I can’t help it. I've been attacked several times within the past few months and almost died. If I go out
without a bodyguard, not to mention the people around me do not agree, even I am afraid of myself."
Aston had heard about what had happened to Georgia in the past few months but didn't know much
about it. He smiled understandingly.
"Where are we going to eat? Let's sit and talk."
Georgia took Aston in the car to M Garden for dinner.
Along the way, she gave a general account of what had happened since she woke up.
When she was almost finished, the two arrived at M Garden and sat down inside the private room.
As the owner of M Garden, Georgia could of course come over whenever she wanted. Mr. Moore even
came over to meet Georgia personally and had the waiter serve her carefully. After Georgia let Aston
order, the door was closed. The two continued to talk.
"I didn't expect that you would inherit this estate from my uncle. I originally thought it would be inherited
by Robert, or by Robert and my aunt together. I really didn't expect ..."
After Aston said this with a sigh, Georgia thought of Aston's aunt, who was still unconscious. She
asked with concern.
"Is your aunt still not awake? How is she doing now?"
"She's been sleeping all the time. The doctor said that my aunt did not want to wake up. I think my aunt
knew that my uncle had passed away and that's why she didn't want to wake up. In fact, the wounds on
her body do not affect the nerves in her brain, but she insisted on not waking up. Maybe she didn't want
to face the day of being alone."
Aston sighed. Georgia remembered that Robert's father and Aston's aunt had no children.
Now that Robert's father had passed away. It was no wonder she didn't want to wake up.
"Actually, I still don't understand why your aunt came when Robert and I were kidnapped on the island.
I always feel that there was something important going on here, but I don’t know."
Georgia actually hoped very much that Aston's aunt would wake up right away. She always felt that
something important had happened to Aston's aunt before Robert disappeared from the island,
perhaps involving the secret of Robert's disappearance.
"At that time, Robert's father was already unconscious. Approximately, my aunt went to the island to
take you back."
Aston said this. Georgia thought it made sense, but she always felt that there was more to the secret.
However, no one could tell her what the truth was now.
The two sighed and stopped talking about this topic. Aston asked Georgia with concern.
"What's going on with you and Robert right now? I've seen a lot of speculation on the Internet about
what's going on between you and him. The public opinion has been very much against you."
"I thought you were concentrating on your research inside the lab every day and wouldn't pay attention
to those internet gossips."
Georgia was in a better mood and made a joke at Aston.
She didn't care much about the internet. She just didn't expect that Aston, a person in the United
States, could pay attention to the public opinion gossip in China.
"Then you're thinking wrong. Although your gossip is in the entertainment headlines, you are a figure in
the tech world. That's why these tech forums also share gossip about people like you. The paper you
published last year was so well received that people in the industry actually paid a lot of attention to
you. I had thought that we would both return to work at MU Research Institute when I returned home.
But a while ago, you have inherited my uncle's SY Group, and now you are the chairman. Have you
thought about whether you will manage SY Group or continue to do your beloved experiments?"
This question from Aston was also something Georgia had been thinking about.
Georgia had no choice but to suddenly inherit the SY Group. She wanted to use the power of SY
Group to investigate what happened to Robert in the past year, but recently she hadn't been able to
find out anything. And the only way she could use Robert's father's connections was to inherit SY
Group, so she had to. But what Georgia was good at wasn't running a consortium, and she wasn't
capable of running such a large one.
And Georgia had her own ambitions and a beloved career. Her dream was to become a scientist and
simply did experiments in the laboratory every day, not to fight in the business.
Georgia didn't want to give up the connections that Robert's father had given her, but right now, she
and Robert were in a difficult situation, and she didn't want to give up any hope.
"Of course I want to do experiments. I still want to be a famous scientist in my life. And with my
intelligence, I can't run a consortium. I just can't make the best of both worlds under the current
circumstances ... I've only just inherited SY Group. I can't just give up the position to someone else
right away, and I haven't found anyone to entrust it to. I'm thinking that when I find the right person to
take my place, I'll become a shareholder and continue to go to the lab and do experiments."
Georgia thought that Robert had given 5 months to their relationship. These 5 months were also the
last chance Georgia had left for herself to struggle.
If she could bring back Robert's memories, then naturally, all would be happy. Whether Robert chose
her or abandoned her, Georgia would not continue to be the chairman of SY Group but would return it
to Robert.
Although Robert's father had made a will, Georgia could not easily pass on the inheritance to anyone
else, but only to her direct descendants.
But there was one exception, and that was Robert. He was Aidan's son, and Georgia was certainly
able to pass on the property to Robert. This was a decision that Georgia had already made in her mind
If she and Robert were not destined to be together, she would not have forcibly occupied the
inheritance.
"Are you very busy at SY Group?"
Aston asked suspiciously.
"Now that you're the chairman. Do you need to go to work every day?"
"That's not really true."
Georgia was just a chairman in name only, and for many things, as long as Wilson told her what to do
and she could sign off on it.
"Since you're not very busy, don't dwell on whether you're the chairman of SY Group now. What's so
unusual about one person doing two jobs? Just tell Professor Lee and keep going back to the lab to do
experiments ... I don't think you should waste time on the consortium operation. With your talent, as
long as you stay inside the lab for one more day, your experimental progress will skyrocket. You've
been off for a year. If you don't pick up this year's progress, others' research speed will quickly surpass
yours ..."
"The direction of your subject has been recognized by the people in the circle before. Everyone is
doing experiments in this direction, and there have been many new papers and experimental data
appear. You are a year behind. I don't recommend that you waste your time entirely on SY Group right
now. You can absolutely continue to work in the lab at MU Research Institute while you have this time. I
didn't say that before when you weren't well. But I see that you can walk easily now and you are in
good spirits. Regardless of the future of Robert and you, and whether you inherit SY Group or not, I
suggest you go back to work in the lab now and don't waste your talent. One more day in the lab and
you might experience life differently."
Georgia actually wanted to go back to the lab to do experiments, but she never had the courage to ask
Professor Lee. Everyone on the network knew that she had now inherited SY Group, and Georgia
couldn't think of a suitable excuse to return to MU Research Institute to do experiments again, but
Aston's words woke her up.
"You're right. I should get back to the lab right away. Aston, when do you start? I'll check in with you
you, and Professor Lee should be happy to welcome me back."
"I just got back today. I'm taking a day off tomorrow and will check in to work at MU Research Institute
the day after tomorrow. If you want to go too, I will call Professor Lee directly now. In fact, when he was
talking to me, I could hear that he wanted you to go back to work in the lab. You don't have to worry so
much. The people at MU Research Institute are very simple. Everyone is too busy with their own
research topics to care about your current change in status. Anaya left last year, so no one will be
bothering you every day."
Georgia smiled and nodded. She really wanted to go back to the lab to do experiments.
"You don’t have to call. I'll just take the initiative to call Professor Lee."
Georgia smiled and picked up her phone to give Professor Lee a call, then said that she wanted to
return to work in the lab again.
"I've been hoping for a long time that you would make this call to me. I knew that your dream was still
to do experiments. I read earlier on the internet that you have become the chairman of SY Group and I
don't know what you think now. I was afraid that if I called to rush you to work, it would affect your
current situation, so I never bothered you. Now I am relieved to hear you say that you are willing to
return to work at MU Research Institute right away, Georgia. You haven't changed your original dream.
Sooner or later you will blossom in this profession and become someone everyone admires."
"Professor, thank you."
Georgia couldn't help but feel a little excited. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Previously, because of Robert's matter, Georgia had been sullen and unhappy.
Even now, she had too many regrets and sadness in this matter of Robert. But the exhilaration and
anticipation of her career made up for her aggravation this past while.
She had her own career and her daughter. If she could succeed in her career, Georgia felt that the lack
of love would not break her to pieces. She shouldn't attach her whole heart to a man, it would only
harm her.
"Professor, Aston and I will check in to work the day after tomorrow. Thank you for always supporting
me."
After hanging up with Professor Lee, M Garden's waiter had already set up the food. Georgia and
Aston ate quietly while Aston sighed in admiration.
"I haven't been to this place for dinner before. It sure tastes good. You are now the owner of this place.
If I come to eat in the future, can I have a membership and not have to wait in line? I've heard that one
has to make reservations in advance to eat at M Garden."
"I'll just tell the boss. Aston, it's been a year. I think you've got a lot more smiles."
Georgia remembered that a year ago Aston always liked to have a cold face and rarely smiled.
But today, after seeing Aston from the airport, she found that he smiled a lot more, and had also
become a lot more lively.
"It's probably because I'm in love."
Aston suddenly said, and Georgia had been shocked in place.
She was also a person who liked to gossip. Georgia asked excitedly.
"When did you get a girlfriend? Do I have a chance to meet her?"
"She hasn't returned home yet. When she returns, I will let you meet."
Hearing Aston say this, Georgia wanted to gossip more and more. Georgia was really curious about
who could conquer such a cold and aloof person like Aston.
It was just a pity that she couldn’t see her now.
After having dinner with Aston, Georgia drove Aston back to his current apartment.
After watching Aston walk to the entrance of the neighborhood, Georgia was about to get into her car to
pick up Annie from school when she suddenly saw a familiar person.
The woman was Selena, who was carrying a baby, and got into a car directly in front of her.
Georgia was sure that she was not mistaken. If it wasn't for the fact that Selena was already in the car,
Georgia would have gone over to greet her right away.
She remembered the last time Camden asked her where Selena was now.
Georgia was unaware of it. She also asked Jasper, but even Jasper didn't know where Selena was.
Georgia also asked Selena what had happened, but Jasper and Jason just kept their mouths shut and
didn't want to say much. So Georgia couldn't force them to say anything.
But this time, she was surprised to see Selena, who was also holding a baby. She was in a coma this
year, and it was said that Selena had not returned to the country, too.
After Georgia got in the car, she hesitated for a long time, then picked up her cell phone and made a
call to Jasper.
"Can I help you?"
Jasper asked directly on the other end of the phone. Although he and Georgia saw each other a lot,
they usually discussed Robert's affairs and did not have much private contact.
Even if they usually had contact, they mainly discussed Robert's affairs. Jasper thought Georgia was
asking about Robert this time, but Georgia's words stunned him.
"I just saw Selena. When did she come back home?"
