“Shameless lunkheads will always be shameless lunkheads, but I hadn’t been planning on giving them
the time of day, and I’ve stopped them from coming over to my place. I’m sure they’re panicking now,
and they might be trying to link up with someone else or try to trip me up. I’m not worried with what little
they can do, but even puny grunts can tangle you up, so it’s worth paying some attention.”
“All right, then, I’ll be your eyes on this. Jasper’s not out of the hospital yet, and he hasn’t gone through
surgery yet. I’ll just have to worry about him some more. Really, you two, getting sick one after another,
making me panic and wonder if something’s going to be up with me too. Is it about time for me to get
married? If something did happen, I’d at least be leaving something for my father and mother.”
Robert chuckled.
“If he like Miss Bradley, hurry up and get married. That’s happiness. If you don’t like her, you’ll only
suffer in bondage. Listen to your heart on this decision.”
Jason hung up and replayed Robert’s words in his head.
Listen to his heart. And what did his heart say about Miranda?
Jason wasn’t sure.
To be honest, he did like her, but he wasn’t quite ready to go as far as to get married.
While he was deep in thought, Miranda had walked over wearing his shirt.
The house was heated, so naturally Miranda wasn’t cold even wearing this.
Jason took a glance and felt his blood quicken.
To be honest, he and his fiancé’s nightly activities were going just fine, and that was probably the most
important thing for a married couple.
Jason couldn’t help but put Miranda to the question.
“What kind of wedding would you like?”
Miranda was overjoyed and jumped up, flinging her arms around Jason.
“Have you finally decided to marry me? I want to go through different styles of wedding, and I want a
few different wedding dresses. I’ve already designed several dresses for myself, and even your suit,
and I’ve made all the measurements. As for the wedding scenery, I thought a lot about it, just leave it all
to me…”
That question seemed to fully tear down Miranda’s dam. Jason listened to her onslaught and his head
started to hurt.
He shouldn’t have asked that question. If this went on and the parents of both sides caught wind, they
might really end up married.
He felt like he wasn’t hard enough, and couldn’t bear to say it out loud, or hurt Miranda’s feelings by
doing so.
So Jason could only hold it in and listen to Miranda as she described the wedding scene.
Not long after Robert left, Annie woke, and the servants had already made breakfast. Georgia ate with
Annie.
Finishing the meal, she took out Robert’s checkup reports and looked over them, her heart sinking.
At that moment, Travis came outside the mansion and knocked.
Georgia had the servants show him in.
She set down Robert’s report and had the servants take Annie to the garden swing to play.
Only then did she go with Travis to a quiet place to talk.
“Travis, did you come so suddenly because something’s happened?”
“I received news that the other Simpson family members seem to have caught wind that Sierra’s in
your custody, so they’re going to leak the fact that you’re holding Sierra here online, then threaten you
and Robert with it. Of course, it’s all motivated by profit. You and Robert need to be careful. You know
how online commentary goes. Sometimes it’s controllable, other times it’s not, and public opinion can
become a weapon at any time. Besides, Sierra is actually in your hands and Roberts’, and with the
Simpsons being such a large enterprise, there has to be enemies behind the scenes sniping at any
time. Hurry up and resolve Sierra Moon as an issue, in case anything happens.”
“Sierra Moon is Emma Lane.”
Georgia said to Travis.
“I really can’t let her go, but I haven’t though of how to deal with her. You know she’s done too much.
She even shot my mother multiple times. With what she’s done to me and Robert in the past, I can’t let
her go.”
Travis was getting ready to say something when Georgia received a call from Wilson.
“Hurry up and look at the news online. Someone’s leaked that you and Robert have kept Sierra in
custody and are abusing her. It’s made headlines. I’ve had PR keep the news suppressed, but it’s true.
I know you have your concerns, but those people out there won’t think so. They’ll just think you two are
using your power and authority to step on innocent people. Sierra might have done a lot of harm, but
right now, they won’t look at it that way.
“I’ll keep the news suppressed, but someone seems to be deliberately shoveling popularity on this. I’m
afraid they’ll really send people over to investigate by then. It’s going to affect you and Robert as well.
We have to think of a way to deal with Sierra. We could bring her out of the country. If it’s outside
borders, it’ll be easier to deal with. But right now, there’s too many eyes on this, and I’m afraid even
taking her out of the country could present a problem.”
“Have you found who it is trying to get all the views on the matter?”
“It seems to have something to do with the Warner Group, but I’m not sure. There’s no concrete
evidence right now. Anyway, the people behind the scenes aren’t the priority right now. You have to
take care of the fact that Sierra is still in your custody. They have a lot of information on their hands. If
they really find footage of you holding her, we won’t be able to control this.”
The Warner Group?
Georgia instinctively thought of Eliana Warner. The woman who rarely showed her face, but who’d
mocked Georgia last time.
Did it really have something to do with her?
But right now, whether Eliana was involved wasn’t the important part. Georgia replied towards Wilson.
“Hang on. Let Robert and me discuss how to deal with this. Keep the internet under control for now,
and I’ll call you back right away.”
Georgia hung up and was getting ready to phone Robert about this when Travis spoke.
“You just said that Sierra was Emma Lane. Did I hear you right?”
“Sierra’s already confessed to me that she’s Emma. So I can’t release her. She still knows too much. I
want to get it all out of her.”
“I’ve already seen the headlines online and I’ve heard most of what you just said over the phone. I have
a solution you can consider.”
