However, hearing what Elsie said, Freddie gave a sneer and went straight outside. Elsie shouted behind him, "Do you think you're protecting your son? You are wrong. You have not experienced those things, and you will never understand. An unredeemed life is not worth living! I seem to be happy, but it doesn't mean I don't care and forget the past."
Elsie sneered as she said so. Freddie turned his head at this moment. He finally seriously looked at the young woman standing in front of him.
"I'm just an ordinary father. I just want my son to live, not die because of some inexplicable accident, or some revenge. I only have this humble wish."
Freddie's tone was extremely serious. He didn't want to fight or be sad, but to state his thoughts directly.
"Do you think being alive means happy? Why did he shut himself up? It's because he's in pain. He felt painful because he can't save his partner. Why would I get involved in this thing? Because I want to bring the killers to justice. I want to help myself. Do you think he doesn't want to save himself. He does, but he doesn't know how to do it. He could only keep silent, so as to reassure you. But the life of being strong is worth living than that of being timid. What's more, if you don't try it, how do you know it won't succeed?"
Freddie was silent. Elsie knew she had persuaded him and she smiled.
"Look at your boss standing here, he is strong and powerful. So is Miss Lane. You can see how powerful she is just by searching on the internet. Do you think you are single-handed to revenge? Do you think you are acting alone? No, we are doing all preparations. We are trying our best to investigate the truth. Do you know why?"
"Because these people have found a lot of children and they are still doing despicable things. If you let Benton save those children who are suffering, he could redeem his life. When he saves those children, it's like saving himself. I know what he has been through because I've been through it all."
With these words, the house fell into silence.
After a long time, Freddie sighed.
"You win. I don't know if Benton wants to listen to you, but I don't think he should be silent for a lifetime. I will arrange an opportunity for you to meet and let him make his own choice."
After that, Freddie left without hesitation.
"Georgia, I did it."
Elsie was a little excited but Georgia was a little uncomfortable. This success was based on Elsie revealing her scar in front of everyone, although Elsie didn't care much.
But they couldn't lose this time. As Elsie just said, it was not just saving the children, it was saving her own life.
"Yeah, you did it, Elsie. You were great."
Georgia praised her as Robert came over.
"If you want to meet Freddie, I will make the arrangements. I have things to attend to now, so I have to leave first. You will leave under their arrangements."
After Robert said that, he left. Georgia and Elsie were left in the room. Naturally, they could not go out at the same time.
"It seems that you two are moving on. He doesn't look at you with the strange, tentative look he used to have," said Elsie curiously.
"He is willing to believe me."
Georgia only gave one answer, and as for more, she could only say that she believed Robert.
But Georgia didn't know what Robert was trying to do, nor did Sierra.
Robert was always gentle and respectful to him, but she couldn't understand him more and more. She couldn't keep monitoring Robert every day, and she could not know Robert's every move.
But Sierra did find out about Robert's meeting with Georgia, and Jayson was warning her that she had to take actions faster.
That evening, after Robert returned home, Sierra came to Robert of her own accord.
She packed a suitcase, and looked determined.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Robert came in, he saw Sierra and the packed suitcase. Sierra looked up at Robert and said with coldness, "Robert, I have said that I will not compromise, nor will I force you to marry me. If you want to choose Georgia, I will let you go, but you keep dating with Georgia while I'm still your fiancée. Who am I to you? I don't want to be the laughingstock. I've packed my things. If you don't tell me what you want to do today, I'll make my own choice and leave you."
Sierra could see that Robert was just trying to delay the marriage. It couldn't be dragged on. She had to force this man to make a decision.
"Have you heard some gossip?" Robert asked, and Sierra burst into tears in front of Robert.
"Do you think others didn't see your meeting with Georgia? They did. They were all gossiping about me. Why should I be so pathetic? You made me stay from the beginning, but now you've turned me into a joke."
"What can I do to prove my love for you? I never intended to give up what I have promised to you. Why do you always doubt me?" Robert asked seriously, and Sierra's eyes were red.
"I can't see your sincerity. Your commitment is only an empty talk. You promised me that we'd have a wedding, and I'd be your wife. But now, I'm still your fiancée. You put off the wedding for half a year without my permission. That's fine. But you flirted with Georgia and ignored me. I don't know if you're playing with me or if you are two-timing me."
Sierra reproached him. Those were probably the harshest words she had ever said to Robert.
She figured out that if she didn't take a hard stance, Robert might drag the wedding till the doomsday.
"So if I promise to marry you, and give you a wedding at once, you'll believe me?"
When Robert said this, Sierra was surprised. But she couldn't show her emotional fluctuation, so she continued to accuse him.
"Do you think I'm trying to force you to marry me again? But I have agreed to postpone the wedding for six months. I wouldn't have said this if you and Georgia haven't been having an affair this time and if you hadn't made me feel insecure. I don't want to push you, either you promise me that the wedding will be held as soon as possible or I'll leave."
"As I said, Georgia has not promised to divorce me. She and I have been married and we can't let out the news. So I could only drag on. She has promised to give up in six months. Aren't you going to believe me?"
Sierra wasn't sure whether Robert was telling the truth.
She was about to say something when Robert spoke again.
"Do you remember my father's legacy? It's mine. Why should I let a stranger inherit it? Before I divorce Georgia, I should get back the inheritance that belongs to me."
Sierra was shocked. She stared at the man in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She kind of knew this man, and knew that Robert didn't care about his father's legacy, which was a big disappointment.
But now Robert was telling her that he was going to get it back.
She didn't know what to say. Of course, she hoped that Robert could inherit the property, and then it would become hers. But she couldn't be so greedy for money in front of Robert.
She just assumed an air of indifference. "I did not expect that the one who once didn't pay the slightest attention to the inheritance should now take it so seriously. I cannot tell whether what you said is true or not. In that case, let us be calm for a while. I'll move out for some time."
"I'll let the bodyguard send you. You can live a temporarily quiet life. And later, you will believe me. I did not lie to you."
With that, Robert called his bodyguard over and escorted Sierra away.
Sierra didn't think she couldn't be successful this time, but it was impossible for her to stay here anymore.
Before she reached the door, she turned to Robert.
"Take good care of Wesley. I had wanted to take him with me, but I know that you have enemies. It won't be safe for the kid if I take him. You need to calm down, and so do I. Please tell me if you make up your mind."
Robert nodded and personally sent Sierra to the car.
After Sierra left, Robert went to his study.
"Have the results come out yet?" Robert asked his assistant, who was standing in his study.
"Yes. I placed it on the table."
Robert picked up the document. Inside were several paternity test reports.
Of course, they were not his and Annie's paternity test report, but Wesley's and his, and Sierra and Wesley's.
