Georgia felt embarrassed when Lawrence asked her.
She did not know how to answer, so she could only keep silent.
Looking at Georgia, Lawrence sneered.
"What? You have suffered a lot. Don't you want to take revenge on the Simpson family?"
Georgia raised her head and answered.
"Mr. Knight, I don't know if you know my past. But my real enemy is the Lane family. It was the Lane family who put me in jail, had me to be misunderstood, and has tortured me until now. My father, Owen, my half-sister, Emma, and my half-brother, Eden. They almost sold me to a pervert. Then they made me be the scapegoat for Eden's car accident and put me in jail for six years!"
"Because I was in the jail, my child has been in bad health since she was born. If I'm going to have my revenge, I should take revenge on the Lane family. As for the Simpson family, they did do something bad to me. But it was all because of the Lane family. They made me become a perpetrator for a car accident, and then the Simpson family misunderstood me as the murderer of Wendy. The Simpson family insulted me and hurt me. Although I am angry, they did it for a reason."
Georgia was angry about the Simpson family. But she couldn't take hard revenge on the Simpson family and made Robert suffer more.
Besides, Robert helped her a couple of times. She couldn't hurt Robert.
After Georgia finished her words, Lawrence suddenly exposed his legs. Georgia sat still, frozen with shock.
Before she entered the room, she only saw Lawrence having a cup of tea on the sofa with a blanket on his knee. She didn't think much.
But now she saw that nothing was under the blanket.
Lawrence's legs had been amputated. This was Lawrence's situation now. Georgia could not say anything.
Lawrence smiled at Georgia.
"You can choose not to take revenge on Robert, and I won't force you to do so. But just look at my legs now. Don't you think I should get him back?"
Georgia could not speak with her trembling lips.
"Mr. Knight … I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's all on me…"
If Lawrence didn't help her fake the paternity test, he would not be missing for so long and would not lose his legs. Georgia's eyes got red. She was full of guilt and didn't know what to say.
Lawrence sneered with hostility.
"I was barely survived and lost my legs. Tell me, how should I get back at Robert?"
Georgia dared not to say anything. She had no reason to ask Lawrence to give up his revenge.
But she could not bear to see Robert die or be tortured. She felt like she was standing on the edge of the cliff. She would die no matter she took one step forward or backward.
"Mr. Knight, what do you want to do to him?"
Georgia asked in a trembling voice. She braced herself to ask the question.
Lawrence sneered.
"He should suffer the pain that I have suffered. Death is too good for him,"
Lawrence clapped his hands.
Soon, Georgia saw Lawrence's man bring Robert in.
Robert had woken up but still been tied. After Robert was brought into the room, the two subordinates of Lawrence kicked at Robert's knees.
Robert kneeled on the ground. His mouth was sealed with tape so he couldn't speak. But his eyes had been full of hostility.
Georgia felt that except for the anger to Lawrence, there was something else in Robert's eyes when he looked at her.
Did he think that she cooperated with Lawrence and kidnapped him here?
Georgia dared not to ask. She even dared not to look at Robert.
She was afraid that she would saw his pain and humiliation from his eyes. Robert should be prideful. She didn't have the heart to see Robert be humiliated.
That kind of scene would break her heart.
"Take off his tape."
Lawrence's men took off Robert's tape as their master told. Robert said in a cold voice.
"What do you want? Lawrence."
Lawrence laughed as if he heard a joke.
"Mr. Simpson, you know what I want clearly. I will get what did you do to me all back at you. An eye for an eye, a wrong for a wrong. Don't you think that's supposed to be?"
Robert noticed Lawrence's lost legs. He did ask Michael to take revenge on Lawrence. But he lost track of Lawrence. Robert didn't think that Lawrence had survived with the price of his lost legs.
Lawrence was here to get back at him. There was no room for negotiation between the two of them.
"On the battlefield of business, you die, or I win. It was you who faked the paternity test. I took revenge on you. I never thought I was wrong. If you want to get it back at me now, you have the right to do so."
Robert was calmed as if he didn't fear Lawrence's revenge.
But Georgia got worried. She stood still helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Lawrence sneered.
"I'd like to see how long you can be in denial. Break his legs now!"
The two men who brought Robert in hit Robert's thighs with sticks.
They hit Robert over and over. Robert did not utter a sound.
But his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He pursed his lips tight as if he was undergoing great pain.
Georgia never saw Robert being humiliated and tortured like this. She felt terrible.
Suddenly, Georgia kneeled on the ground.
"Mr. Knight, it should blame on me. If I didn't ask you for help, you wouldn't fake the paternity test. And Robert wouldn't know it and hurt you … it is all my fault. Please spare his life."
Georgia couldn't beg for anything else. Lawrence had lost his legs. What could she say?
Watching Robert being beaten again and again, Georgia felt her heart was broken.
But this time, Lawrence didn't show any respect to Georgia.
"Georgia, I help you because I am willing to help you. But when I don't want to help you, I won't do you any favor even if you kill yourself in front of me."
Lawrence said in a cold voice and then told his men.
"Go on. Don't stop!"
Georgia's cheeks were bathed in tears. She quietly raised her head and looked at Robert, whose face had become awful with pain. He was looking at the ground. Georgia couldn't see what Robert was thinking.
Georgia never felt heartbreaking and embarrassed like this before. She suddenly thought she was mostly to blame.
If it were not for her, nothing would happen today.
Now she was pregnant, so she couldn't rush over and stop them from beating Robert.
Georgia felt she was a coward good-for-nothing. She could not do anything. She was the most useless person in the world.
Georgia didn't know how long it lasted. She saw Robert fall on the ground in pain. And her voice had become hoarse with crying.
Lawrence told his men.
"Take him to the room and lock him up. Bring him to me tomorrow and continue to beat him until his legs are broken!"
Lawrence turned around and looked at Kayden.
"Help me into the chair. I need a rest."
"Mr. Knight, is there no other replaceable punishment…"
She could not beg for mercy but only looked at Lawrence humbly.
Lawrence warmed her in indifference.
"If you interceded with me again, I would break your legs, too. Then you and Robert could enjoy your sufferings together!"
Kayden helped Lawrence into the chair.
Then Kayden pushed Lawrence's carriage and walked to another room.
Georgia stood still. She felt she was at a loss and could not find a way out.
She was trapped on this island where Lawrence's men were all around. And now Robert was beaten. Would she watch Robert be beaten and lose his legs?
Georgia thought she couldn't do it.
But she owed Lawrence, so she could not betray him. It would be a wrong decision no matter which one she chose to stand by. No one would care where she was. Even no one would tie her up again.
Georgia could come and go wherever she wanted. She could even go to the room where Robert was locked up.
But what was the use of this?
Georgia stumbled on the beach. She felt despair.
Annie was still stuck in Robert's villa. Robert and she had been missing. What should Annie do?
Robert was the father of her unborn child. Could she do nothing but watch Robert be humiliated? What should she do?
Georgia asked herself again and again. She felt like she had come to a dead end and could not find a way out at all.
In D City, all families knew about Robert's disappearance.
The Simpson family made an announcement through media early in the morning. Alex took Robert's place and was in charge of the Group's business temporarily.
The business and stocks of the Simpson family remained stable. Alex's ability was widely recognized.
Maisie was relieved for that. But at the same time, she feared Alex more. She didn't expect that Alex's ability had been widely convincing like this in the Simpson family.
Now Robert was just missing. If something terrible happened to Robert, then the whole Simpson family would be in Alex's control.
Alex got benefits from Robert's disappearance. Maisie had a feeling that Alex was involved in the kidnapping. She just couldn't find the proof.
It had been a whole night since Robert was missing. There was still no news of him. Maisie was anxious, like a cat on hot bricks.
She called her family and the Simpson family and other connections. But no one knew where Robert was.
It was like Robert had vanished into the air.
In D City, the Webb family had been in a mess.
Elliot frowned and looked at her son. She could not help but roared.
"You always play the field. But why did you mess with Jennifer? The Johnson family has been good friends with us. And you just sleep with Jennifer and don't want to be responsible for that. Are you going to risk your neck?"
