“I don’t care what you think about me. I’m telling you, don’t you dare get people to cause trouble around
here. Don’t think that I won’t hurt you just because you’re Vanessa’s friend. You’re a mother as well and
you have friends and family. Don’t get on my nerves. If you dare to bring Vanessa away, I will hurt the
people around you. I will hurt the people you care about the most.”
“Aren’t you scared that I’ll expose the truth about your background?”
Georgia finally said it out loud. Alfred laughed abruptly on the phone.
“Georgia, do you have any evidence about what you’re going to say? Do you think that people will
believe you? Well, you can pay the media and tell them that I’m not a part of the Chow family. You can
try and see what will happen. I don’t care, just go for it.”
Alfred hung up the phone after that. Georgia was so furious that she was heaving.
She walked back and forth. Anger filled her voice.
“How dare he talk to me like that? He’s so thick-skinned! Robert, he’s an extremely selfish person. He’s
afraid that Vanessa will leave him after knowing that he is engaged to Princess Anna, that’s why he is
hiding Vanessa away from me. How is this love? This is just a crazy obsession. But yeah, he used to
be like this as well. If he really loved Vanessa, he wouldn’t make Vanessa lose her memories and lie to
her about her life. He never changed.”
“Calm down, don’t get too mad. It’s bad for the baby. Here, drink some water.”
Robert walked over and gave Georgia a cup of warm water.
Georgia patted her chest. She drank some warm water and felt better.
“I really want to fly to Svero right now and give Alfred an earful. But I have things to deal with here and I
can’t leave. Wilson should be able to handle him. He brought Elsie over already. I wonder what else will
Alfred do.”
“Let’s take it one at a time. For the time being, we should find out how much influence Alfred has.
Maybe we don’t even have to go to Alfred and can find information about Vanessa’s location. Have
some hope.”
Robert grabbed Georgia’s hand.
“I’m not hopeful, but you’re right. We cannot give up now. Oh right, what did Alfred mean just now? I
used his background to threaten him, but he didn’t react to it. He didn’t need to lie to me about this. Did
something happen in the Chow family?”
“It feels like he was telling me just now that the Chow family already knew about the truth. That’s why
he’s not afraid. But since the people from the Chow family knew about this, why would they continue
letting him use the power in their name? It’s bizarre, just like his sudden marriage with the princess of
the Svero. I’m so confused.”
Georgia was extremely baffled even after saying her questions out loud.
“The person-in-charge in the Chow family right now is Alfred’s grandfather in name, Old Mr. Chow. The
main shares are still in his hands. Apart from his two sons, he has other illegitimate sons and daughters
as well, but they are all pretty useless and cannot handle responsibilities. Alfred’s father is even worse,
he’s practically rubbish. He only knows how to spend money on alcohol. He started some business
back then, but he was conned really hard. In fact, Alfred’s mother is the more capable and stronger one
in the family. She has some brains and can take the wheels.”
“And there’s the second wife. In the past years, she tried all tricks to be the successor. If Old Mr. Chow
dies, the second wife would definitely want to take over the family. Technically speaking, Alfred is her
competition right now. She wouldn’t just let Alfred take over the family. She must have people watching
him. If we manage to cooperate with her and expose Alfred’s background, we might be able to threaten
him. But now we know that Alfred doesn’t care about this. This is indeed very odd. Unless Alfred got
Old Mr. Chow’s full support? But this doesn’t make sense since they know that he’s not part of the
Chow family.”
Georgia and Robert couldn’t figure this out.
That night, Georgia couldn’t sleep well. She had nightmares. In her dream, Vanessa was hurt and
crying. This woke her up in the middle of the night.
It was only four in the morning, and she was sitting up on the bed. It was still dark outside.
Robert also woke up. He was still in a daze when he asked Georgia.
“You can’t sleep?”
“I had a nightmare that Vanessa was hurt and covered with blood. She was crying. I think this is a bad
omen.”
“Alfred wouldn’t hurt her. I think he just wants to control her and have her as a hostage.”
Robert tried to comfort Georgia, but she shook her head.
“I know that Alfred wouldn’t hurt her. But what if someone else gets involved and hurts Vanessa?”
“This is why I didn’t want to work together with someone from the Chow family. I was afraid that they
would capture Vanessa and hurt her.”
“Should we go to Svero and meet Alfred?”
Georgia shook her head again.
“I don’t think Vanessa is at Svero. Svero is not very safe, there’s a high possibility of her getting hurt if
she’s hidden away there. I don’t think Alfred is this dumb. Let’s say there’s an explosion, then many
people will get hurt. Wilson is already on the way to Svero to deal with Alfred and that’s enough. I’m
making progress in my lab and research right now, Antony as well. I cannot leave.”
They couldn’t sleep anymore after this. It was almost bright outside when Georgia and Robert got a
phone call.
“Georgia, there’s an emergency. I need to bring Emilia back home. Can you guys quickly arrange a
place with a good environment?”
Ivan’s sudden call made Georgia and Robert puzzled. Georgia asked.
“Why so suddenly?”
“I already told you about the matter with Emilia’s mother. Of course, Margie isn’t Emilia’s biological
mother. I didn’t originally plan to bring Emilia back, but her father contacted me. He said that he was
busy, and it wasn’t safe for Emilia to continue staying in Country M. He told me to bring Emilia back and
that we should continue protecting her. He’s afraid that something’s going to happen to her if she stays
in Country M.”
“Did something happen to the Powell family?”
Georgia asked curiously.
“Well, Emilia’s father didn’t say anything, but I think that I will also feel better if I bring Emilia back. We
have more power back home and the percentage of something happening is lower. Hence, I didn’t ask
too much. I already prepared the private jet. Emilia and I will be boarding the plane soon and heading
back.”
“This was a last-minute decision, I didn’t let anyone else know. That’s why I’m contacting you guys to
prepare us an accommodation. Find a quiet and comfortable place that’s suitable for Emilia. I won’t
bring her to a psychiatrist ward. I will try to help her even though I’m don’t know much about this field
right now. I will get experts over. No matter how long it takes, I will stay by her side.”
“I understand. We will get to it right now.”
Robert agreed to it, and he hung up the call.
After that, he quickly made his assistant go look for a house. He told the assistant to buy a mansion
with a quiet environment as quickly as possible. It was also important that it was located in a safe area
and close to them.
It would be great if they could buy one in the Mountain Bridge area. But he needed his secretary to
investigate first.
No matter how much it would cost, they wanted to purchase one in the shortest time possible so that
Emilia and Ivan could live in it immediately.
Georgia was thinking about how Ivan mentioned that this had something to do with the Powell family.
She thought about what happened after they met him. She asked Robert puzzledly.
“Last time he was really nice to us and I already thought that something was going on in the Powell
family. Now Oscar is being so careful. He told Ivan to bring Emilia back here and even told us to protect
her. I think something is going on.”
“I’ll look into this later. Maybe even though the Powell family’s business seems to be going well, it’s
failing behind the scenes. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. If anything happens, it wouldn’t affect us.
Your mother is also back here, so what happens to the Powell family won’t affect us.”
Georgia forced a smile and nodded. It was true that what happened to the Powell family wouldn’t affect
her in any way.
Soon after this, Georgia raised another question.
“Oh right, have you found out anything about Yvonne? Is she really Wesley’s mother? Do you really
know her from back then?”
