“Can you trade the information in this document for a chance for the Durant family to cooperate with the
SY group? Our family has an oil field in the southeast with plenty of oil reserves, but our current
technology is incapable of extracting oil from the fields. The SY Group has a monopoly on this type of
technology, Miss Lane. If you agree to this and give the Durant family a chance to cooperate, I’ll give
you all the information in the document, and if I come across any news on this end in the future, I’ll
provide them to you free of charge.”
Georgia fell silent for a while and spoke to a smiling Sarah.
“I believe you know that, even though I’m the CEO in name and sign for important matters, you should
really go to someone in the actual company for this sort of cooperation. Those people are more
professional, and the people in the developmental direction department will run a risk assessment on
the item. If it fits, they’ll naturally bring it to me and have me sign for it. Why come to me directly?”
The information was important, but Georgia wasn’t about to joke around with the SY Group’s business
experience.
Sarah couldn’t be unaware that she wasn’t that involved in the business.
There had to be some other reason she was going to her directly and trying to send it down from
above.
“You can run a check on your risk assessment department’s manager. Her name is Gina Williams. The
two of us have a spotted past, which led her to straight up turn down all items sent over from the
Durant family without any chance of an assessment. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to you directly.”
From what Sarah meant, that Gina Williams was cutting through the proper process instead of turning
them down the right way.
Of course, Georgia still had to had people investigate that before she made her reply.
“I’ve got it. I’ll put people on it and give you a reply as soon as I can.”
Sarah smiled and didn’t mind that Georgia wanted to verify the truth in her words.
To be honest she didn’t feel that Georgia should trust her.
She knew the truth about some things and was staying quiet about it, after all.
She was just waiting for her chance, or maybe seeing where Travis and Georgia were headed from
now on.
After talking about it with Sarah, Travis piped up again, concerned.
“Other than the online drama and last night, have any other people or forces targeted you or Robert?”
Travis’ words instantly reminded Georgia of what Kayden had said and done that day.
She turned to Travis and Sarah and spoke sternly.
“The two of you should have guessed at some of what’s happened to Robert. I want to ask you both to
keep it a secret, and not to reveal it to anyone else. Someone’s stolen Robert’s body checkup data. I’m
not sure what their intentions are behind this. I’m afraid that they’re treating Robert as a valuable body
for their experiments, so please, keep this hidden from as many people as possible.”
Sarah and Travis looked at each other, their expressions shocked.
They hadn’t thought in this direction at all. They’d just thought that Robert’s body might have some
problems, and that it was a matter of whether or not they could cure him.
They hadn’t guessed at all that someone would be taking a shine to Robert’s biological data.
That was a bit scary.
If someone had money, money wasn’t part of one’s body. If someone was targeting someone else for
money, it was really relatively easy to solve. The worst that could happen was going broke.
But if someone was targeting someone else’s body, that was basically the same as being targeted by a
cannibal. The danger was endless.
“Sarah and I understand. We’ll keep it hidden.”
Georgia thanked them, grateful, and after a while, Annie and Wesley came back to her room.
Robert had brought the two children over.
“Elsie’s just fallen asleep. She needs her rest, so I brought the two children over.”
Robert smiled faintly at Travis and Sarah.
Annie and Travis were somewhat close, so she stood next to him and chatted intimately with him for a
while.
As for Wesley, he stood shyly next to Robert.
After chatting with everyone for almost half an hour, Travis and Sarah left together.
The doctors wheeled Georgia over for another full body check.
They paid special attention to the wound on the back of her head, seeing if anything was off today.
The two children were curious, and Robert wasn’t about to let Georgia go off alone.
He took the two kids and stayed with Georgia for the checkup. The morning passed just like that.
Georgia finished the test, and all results showed she was fine.
The doctors even told Georgia that she could leave the hospital tomorrow, but she still had to refill her
medicine.
But they could hire a home doctor for that, so it was an easy fix.
Georgia’s body was completely fine, and Robert relaxed.
At noon, after having lunch and tucking the kids in for a nap, husband and wife talked quietly in the
living room.
“Sarah came to see you today. Did she visit for some reason?”
“How did you guess she had a reason?”
Georgia couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t even said that, but Robert had guessed it.
“I’ve met Sarah several times. She’s been through thick and thin with Travis and they care for each
other, but she only shows superficial feelings towards you, and no friendly concern. She must have had
other intentions coming to the hospital to see you.”
“There really was something.”
Georgia told Robert everything Sarah had said.
“Do you think she’s telling the truth? I don’t understand this sort of cooperation too well. You know that
business isn’t my forte. I can only ask Wilson about that.”
Wilson was out investigating what had happened yesterday right now, so Georgia hadn’t gone to him
all throughout the morning, and she hadn’t called to disturb him either.
She wanted to wait for Wilson to get back to the hospital before talking about how the company
business was being run, and about Gina Williams.
“The SY Group does have a monopoly on oil refinery technology. She’s right about that. The Durant
family isn’t too involved in this aspect. They bought up a big island originally to remodel into a tourist
destination, but their crews detected an oil field. They definitely can’t profit from this alone, because oil
refinery is a complicated business. You need local connections, skilled engineers, and experienced
teams. It’s normal for her to want to cooperate with the SY Group. But whether it’s their contract that’s
the problem or if Gina Williams is sabotaging things from within, you can investigate that when Wilson
gets back.”
“Sarah told me that she saw Eliana and Barney together because they just so happened to live in the
same district. She saw Eliana yelling at Barney, who accepted it in complete silence. Didn’t you just find
that the internet ghostwriters had something to do with Barney, and faintly something to do with the
Warner family? I talked with Sarah and Travis and speculated that Barney might have feelings for
Eliana, and so Barney is acting on Eliana’s behalf.
“There’s been a lot of rumors stirred up against me online. If that speculation turns out to be true, we
probably won’t find any direct evidence of Eliana doing this. Barney could have been responsible for it
all on his own, without Eliana being directly involved.”
As Georgia said that, Robert fell deep into thought.
He was silent thinking for so long that Georgia couldn’t help but prod him.
“What are you thinking about? Why are you staring off into space?”
