Georgia had been rubbing Robert and Simpson the wrong way. They wanted to drive her out of D City, just because they thought that she was the one who caused the car accident that killed Wendy.
If she could clear this injustice, Georgia thought that at least she and Annie would not have not to be bullied by these powerful people for the rest of their lives.
Annie would also have a better life, so she had to find a way to clear this injustice.
Perhaps by then, she would also have the chance to beg Ivan to help Annie do an operation. With this expectation in her heart, Georgia looked at Aston after hanging up the phone.
"I have an important matter that requires me to go out now. I may have to take leave again. Aston, continue to do your experiments today. We will discuss the experimental data together later. I have to go to find Ernie to take a leave now."
After Georgia finished speaking, she directly left the lab and then walked towards Ernie's office.
Georgia found Anaya walking towards her and stopping her.
"Anaya, I have something important to do. Get out of the way!"
Georgia displayed a cold look and she almost said that a good dog won't block one's way.
Anaya asked her tauntingly.
"I heard that the person called Vanessa is your bestie, is that right?"
Georgia subconsciously became worried when she heard Anaya mentioning Vanessa.
"What's that got to do with you? Why? Do you want to make my friend in trouble as you can't chase me out of the institute?"
As soon as Georgia finished her words, Anaya snorted with laughter.
"I was wondering who is Vanessa. It turns out to be the bestie of a bitch which is you. You went and seduced my cousin and Simon, and now your bestie, Vanessa seduces the fiancé of my cousin. No wonder you two are besties, as the villains always nest together."
When Anaya was saying the words, everyone around seemed to listen attentively. Georgia asked her with a cold face.
"I don't know who your cousin is. If you slander my bestie again, I'll just tell the professor about you deliberately provoking me, and let the professor judge who is the one causing trouble inside the office every day!"
Anaya looked like she was forced to give in. She was still not satisfied and continued to rant and rave again.
"My cousin is Rachel. Rachel and Alfred are already engaged. The two of them are an unmarried couple, but your bestie became the third person in their relationship, and she and Alfred even register for marriage and are going to get married the next weekend. Did I say anything wrong? You seduced my cousin, and your bestie seduced my cousin's fiancé, which of my words are wrong? Georgia, point it out if you have the guts."
Both Rachel and Anaya were from the same family, and Georgia only realized they were cousins.
It was true that she only knew about it now, but the matter between Vanessa and Alfred was so complicated that Georgia could only show her a cold face.
"Vanessa and Alfred were couples six years ago. They are just getting back together now. Please don't slander her and create such rumors!"
After finishing these words coldly, Georgia directly pushed Anaya away and then walked into Ernie's office.
If she continued to argue with Anaya, there would only be more and more rumors inside the office, and Georgia did not want to say anything more.
"Did you and Anaya quarrel again outside?"
Georgia didn't make a good impression on Ernie. Although Ernie knew that Anaya was always causing trouble, Ernie thought that Georgia was the one who had plagiarized the experimental data from her lecturer's thesis.
Even though Professor Lee believed Georgia did not do it, Ernie did not believe her.
Moreover, Georgia almost acquiesced to what she did in front of Robert, which made Ernie had a bad impression of Georgia.
"Ernie, I can't explain clearly about the matter involving me and Anaya. That's all for it. However, I am looking for you now for one thing. I need to go out this afternoon and I may need to take a leave."
Hearing Georgia's words, Ernie's expression turned cold.
"Georgia, from the time you started working until now, tell me how many times you've asked for a leave? Yesterday you also took leave, and you are taking leave again this afternoon after working in the morning. Do you think MU Research Institute is a place where you can come and go whenever you want? Which person would take a leave every day when one is working? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because a professor values you."
Georgia also knew that it was wrong for her to take a leave like this, but it was just that the matter of clearing the injustice that being wronged as the one who caused the accident was too important. She had to do the matter.
"Ernie, this matter is very important. I must go out, please approve my leave request."
Ernie did not make things difficult for Georgia. He coldly wrote a leave of absence for her and warned her coldly.
"I will tell the professor truthfully about you taking leave inside the institute, and about your conflict with Anaya which happened over and over again. Don't think that the professor will save you every time."
Georgia nodded helplessly.
"Ernie, it's my fault. I've troubled you today."
After saying these words, Georgia walked out of Ernie's office, intending to leave immediately.
Anaya glared at Georgia with hatred for a few moments, and she also knew that she couldn't continue arguing with Georgia any further.
Otherwise, the people inside the office would also think that she was causing trouble, and when the professor fired her, there might not even be many people to speak up for her at that time. She couldn't go too far inside the office.
It's just that Rachel was considered as her distant cousin. Their grandfathers were cousins, and the two of them did not have a close relationship.
If it wasn't for Vanessa, who was Georgia's bestie, Anaya wouldn't have known that Georgia and Vanessa had already bullied Rachel, besides bullying her!
This made her even more annoyed with Georgia. She inwardly hoped that her aunt could help her to chase Georgia out of the institute.
Georgia had already taken a taxi to the Simpson family at the time.
When she was on her way, Emma and her parents, Flora and Owen had already arrived at the house of the Simpson family.
After the housekeeper opened the door, Emma walked into the house of the Simpson family with her parents.
The three of them immediately noticed the strange look of Robert and his mother, Maisie. The atmosphere was very unsettling.
Moreover, another young woman was sitting there who they didn't know.
Emma's first thought when she saw the woman was wondering if Maisie was dissatisfied with her as her future daughter-in-law and wanted that woman in front of her to replace Emma as her daughter-in-law.
Emma guessed so, but she did not dare to speak.
Emma stood politely behind her father. Meanwhile, Owen pondered in his mind what kind of situation he was facing.
He walked forward and politely extended his hand, smiling at Robert and Maisie.
"Ma'am, Robert, sorry for troubling you all that you all suddenly called us over and asked us to bring Eden here… This time it's undeniable that Eden had done something wrong. I will indoctrinate him sternly the next time."
Owen felt that the Simpson family must be unhappy with Eden for causing trouble outside, and he decided to first admit his mistake to give him an out.
"Sit down first. Someone else is coming later."
Maisie coldly said these words, then she sat down on the sofa with a cold face.
Emma and her parents sat on top of the sofa in confusion, while Selena sat on top of a single-seater sofa. The whole living room was depressingly silent.
"Ma'am, Robert, who is this young lady? You haven't introduced her to us yet, right?"
Emma couldn't stand the unsettling atmosphere she was facing and she was curious about the young woman. She felt that the woman was her rival, so she couldn't help but ask the question.
Robert looked at Emma. He had many guesses in his heart suddenly but he never showed them.
Maisie also looked at the woman in front of her, and she said something after a long time.
"This is Selena, it was your brother who bullied Selena yesterday, so please apologize to Ms Holland."
When Maisie said these words, Owen's expression slightly changed, while Flora looked at the woman in front of her more cautiously. Emma's face also turned ghastly.
The three of them felt that something was wrong with what happened, but the matter at hand did not allow them to give in.
Owen and Flora took the initiative to stand up and walk towards Selena. After making up his mind, Owen pulled Flora to kneel directly in front of Selena.
"Ms Holland, it's all because of my sinful son who is so immature. Please be merciful and forgive him. After he goes back, I will definitely discipline him strictly and will definitely not let him make such a mistake again!"
Flora was somewhat reluctant to do so, she had been in the limelight for several years and had never bowed her head and knelt in front of such a young lady to admit her mistakes.
It was just that someone as ruthless as her husband, Owen had knelt, so Flora could only apologise to Selena unwillingly.
"Ms Holland, it's all because I, as a mother didn't educate my son properly. He really should be punished. I just hope that you'll be lenient and give him a chance to be a new man."
"Ms Holland, my brother is too immature. I beg you to give him a chance."
Selena had not come into contact with anyone from the Lane family before. She had only met Emma a few times before and she was not familiar with her.
As for Eden, if it wasn't for seeing him again yesterday and seeing the crazy look on his face as if he was the boss of the world, Selena would not even recall the incidents six years ago in which he argued with Wendy inside the bar and ended up chasing after her with his car.
Now that Eden's parents and his sister were all begging her to forgive him in front of her, she felt really embarrassed.
After all, the middle-aged parents were kneeling in front of her, making it seem like she was very uncompassionate.
Selena was a straightforward person. She replied to them directly.
"Mr. Lane and Mrs. Lane, regarding the matter of your son, I am no longer angry now, and he will be brought to the Simpson family soon, as for the matter afterwards, I don't think you should look for me if you want to ask for forgiveness. You should ask Robert and Ma'am Maisie."
Hearing her words, Owen pulled his wife Flora up. She slowly realized the seriousness of the situation at hand.
But he couldn't show it in his face. He calmly thanked Selena.
"Ms Holland, thank you for forgiving Eden."
After saying this, Owen brought Flora back to sit on top of the sofa, and he looked at Robert and Maisie. He asked them gently.
"Ma'am, Robert. What exactly is so important? Can you guys just tell us directly?"
"The people haven't arrived yet. When they come, we will talk about this matter clearly."
Robert said with a calm look.
However, his mind was already full of thought. He thought that if he had wronged Georgia in this matter, Georgia might be very disgusted with the Simpson family at the moment.
He had lived for more than 50 years and had encountered many storms in his life, so he needed to remain calm even when he felt that something might happen.
The atmosphere in the living room remained unsettling. After a while, the doorbell rang and the housekeeper asked the maid to open the door.
Shortly afterwards, the maid came in with Georgia.
The expressions of Emma, Owen, and Flora changed instantly.
