"Ms Holland, I'm Vanessa Cooke, Georgia's best friend. I want to know what happened to Georgia, why didn't she come for work today?"
Vanessa would have a daily phone call with Georgia to ask how Annie was doing.
Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, Vanessa returned to live in her previous flat.
But every night, Alfred would come the flat to humiliate her. Yet, Vanessa kept it all to herself.
Alfred would force her to watch those videos every night just to humiliate and torture her. Yet, Vanessa allowed Alfred to take his revenge.
She knew that Georgia's research had reached a critical moment. She also knew that Annie was being taken care of by Robert and Georgia. So, Vanessa didn't want to be a burden for Georgia.
She had been putting up with this humiliation from Alfred. Yet, when she talked to Georgia through phone every day, she always said that she was fine.
In fact, Vanessa knew very well that her mental state was on the verge of collapse.
Alfred didn't know that when Vanessa was forced to watch those videos every day, her head was like buzzing and she was on the edge of collapse.
When she first had a mental breakdown, the doctor did a psychological examination. It was clear that her mental state was at risk and could fall into hysteria anytime.
But Vanessa kept it to herself. She didn't tell neither Georgia nor Alfred about it.
After all, she was an orphan, and Alfred wanted to take his revenge on her, then she would be the sole target.
Vanessa thought to herself if she went insane or died, maybe Alfred's revenge would also cease.
Back then, Alfred had taken Annie away once. So, Vanessa did not want Alfred to hurt those around her again. She would rather endure Alfred's torture all by herself.
But Georgia wasn't answering the phone. She phoned Alfred and asked him. However, Alfred humiliated her and stated that he didn't do it.
Alfred was a man who had always been frank, and he would admit it if he had done it.
Vanessa then understood that the disappearance of Georgia had nothing to do with Alfred.
Now, Georgia was missing and Alfred told Vanessa that Robert was also missing. Vanessa was out of ideas.
As she thought about it, she called Selena first.
Selena was a police officer after all, so maybe she could pry some information out of her.
After Selena heard Vanessa's question, she calmed herself down before answering Vanessa's question.
"Last night, both Georgia and Robert were kidnapped and disappeared. Now the Simpson family is in chaos, everyone who is close to the Simpson family is looking for their news in hopes of finding Robert and Georgia. Both of them were kidnapped at the same time, but so far there is no news and information. I don't know what's the situation currently."
She had locked herself in a hotel room for a whole night. And to be honest, Selena wasn't sure of the progress of the case of Robert's disappearance.
Confirming that this had really happened, she fell on the floor feeling extremely weak. She then asked Selena another question.
"Georgia and Robert were missing, what about Annie? What should Annie do now? Will something happen to her if she's all alone in Robert's villa?"
Selena was stunned by Vanessa's words.
She hadn't thought at all that Georgia's daughter was living in Robert's villa now. Were those two already living together too?
Selena thought this in her mind as she asked Vanessa.
"Do you want to go and check on Annie?"
Vanessa nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, I'm afraid that something will happen to Annie. Ms Holland, do you know where is Robert's villa? I don't know where the villa is though."
Selena thought about it for a moment and she spoke to Vanessa.
"Where are you now? I'll drive you there. If you go there by yourself, Robert's villa will not let you in for sure, I'll go there so they'll let you in."
Vanessa was very thankful to Ms Holland immediately.
"Thank you, Ms Holland, thank you…"
Selena smiled. After she hung up the phone, she immediately went to the station and drove to fetch Vanessa.
There was something about Jasper and Jennifer that Selena really didn't want to further think about it now. As it would only make her even more distressed.
It would be better to immerse herself in her work and not care about it. Anyway, even if nothing happened today, her brother would have taken another woman as his wife too. She tried to forget what had happened yesterday. Selena warned herself in her mind to forget about it forever.
After Vanessa hopped on the car, the two immediately drove to Robert's villa.
And at Robert's mother's place, Ivan had arrived to meet his auntie, Maisie.
"Auntie, no news from Robert so far? There's really no progress at all?"
Ivan was worried as he asked. After he was awakened by his family member, his parents told him that Robert was kidnapped and went missing. This made Ivan instantly awake.
He rushed back as fast as he could and asked Maisie.
Maisie shook her head.
"Still nothing. If it was a kidnapping, the kidnappers would have called us and requested a ransom by now. But now, there's still no news, which mean that it's most probably someone seeking revenge."
After Maisie spoke until this point, her eyes reddened.
If it were a kidnapping, she would have felt a little better. She could just prepare the ransom, and everything would be fine.
But if it was their nemesis, Robert might not even be alive right then. As nemesis would only kill you and wouldn't let you live for even a moment.
Ivan had saved a lot of patients worldwide and he was well-connected.
On his way here, Ivan had called all his contacts and asked them to help finding his own cousin, Robert.
"Auntie, I've called the people I know, and they will definitely help me find Robert. But right now, can't you think of any enemy?"
Maisie shook her head in despair.
"I can't think of any. I can't figure out who did it at all. Ivan, do you have any idea? I'm really worried that something has happened to Robert."
"This looks like an enemy seeking revenge, I heard that Georgia was also kidnapped along with Robert. Auntie, is this true?"
Ivan asked and Maisie nodded with a cold expression.
"It's all because of Georgia that bitch. If Robert didn't try to save Georgia who had fainted, how has he been kidnapped? This woman is a scourge!"
Maisie roared with hatred and Ivan was a little angry too.
He had known that this woman was no ordinary in his cousin's heart. And now that his own cousin had gone to this extent. Ivan's perception of Georgia was getting worse and worse.
After waiting for almost half an hour or so, there was still no news coming in. Ivan was getting a bit restless.
"Auntie, we can't rely on our power anymore because even with our strong connections, we can't find out anything about Robert until now."
Maisie looked coldly at Ivan.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Auntie, I know this is very presumptuous, but what is more important than Robert' life? I know that uncle is well-connected with various sector and groups. Since he left the Simpson family, there are many companies under his name that are doing well. There are people he knows all over the world, so if we ask uncle for help, this would definitely help a lot in the effort of finding Robert. Furthermore, Robert is his own flesh and blood."
This time she needed to look for Robert's father again. Maisie's heart vaguely throbbed at the thought of that man.
However, Ivan was right that nothing was more important than Robert's life.
No matter how angry she was, and how Robert's father had brought her so much pain, what was all that hatred worth if her son was dead?
Yesterday's rage and craziness disappeared and she came back to her senses at that moment. Without any news for more than ten hours, there was no other way but to reach out to Robert's father for assistance.
"I know what you mean, I will call him right away."
Maisie took a deep breath as she picked up her phone, then dialled the number that hadn't been called for over ten years.
The call was answered a few dozen seconds later, and it was a woman's voice.
"Hello, who's this?"
As soon as she heard the woman's voice, Maisie clenched her hands to the point that her nails sank into her palms.
"Tell Aidan that his son is missing, and I need to talk to him."
The woman nodded as Maisie finished this sentence.
"Alright, I'll pass him the phone right away."
After a minute, the voice of Robert's father, Aidan came from the other side of the phone.
"What's going on? Robert is missing?"
Maisie told Aidan everything about yesterday's incident.
"We need to put aside our grudges and focus on finding our child. You have been away from him for so many years and absent from your fatherly duty all this while. Now he is missing, and his life is in danger, shouldn't you do your part and find our child back?"
Aidan made a promise to Maisie.
"Okay, I'll get my people to look into it right away. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
After Aidan finished saying those words, he hung up the phone and the woman next to him asked worriedly.
"Is your son missing? Is it something serious?"
Aidan walked over and took the woman into his arms,
"Lindsey, it's okay. I'll get someone to look for him right away. You don't have to worry about it, just get some rest."
The person called Lindsey nodded.
"Alright, go back and do what you're doing. I'll go out and water those plants. I won't bother you."
Aidan smiled faintly as he watched the woman sway and leave. He picked up his own mobile phone and called his subordinates. Ordering them to do all they could to search for Robert.
At the same time, Aidan made a phone call to people he knew around the world and after sending Robert's identity information, he asked them to help find his son.
Leaving the Simson family for more than ten years, Aidan never regretted it. He left all the assets of the Simpson family to Robert and left with the woman he loved without a second of thinking seriously.
When his father asked him if he didn't want the Simpson family's assets, he would agree to divorce. He didn't hesitate to leave the Simpson family's assets to his son, Robert at that time.
The absence was more than ten years, and to Aidan's surprise, he would receive a call from Robert's mother again.
And this time it turned out that Robert had disappeared.
One wouldn't realise until one's older that he really did act on his impulses when he was younger and failed to fulfil his duty as a father.
So, Aidan felt that he should be really doing his best to find Robert this time.
The Simpson family was waiting for news of Robert and they had sent many people to look for him.
And at this time, Maisie received a call from the housekeeper inside Robert's villa.
"Ma'am, there is something I must ask for your permission."
Maisie asked in confusion.
"What is it?"
Her own son was missing and she wondered why the housekeeper of Robert's villa called. Maisie felt suspicious.
"Ms Holland has brought Miss Cooke here. They are planning to take Georgia's daughter away. Is this something that I should agree to?"
Maisie's face instantly went cold.
"You're saying that Georgia's daughter has been living in Robert's villa? What's going on here?"
Robert warned the housekeeper not to tell his mother about Georgia and her daughter.
However, Robert was missing, and Georgia's daughter had been crying inside the villa today.
And after that, Ms Holland and Miss Cooke came over wanting to take Georgia's daughter away. The housekeeper was indecisive now, and he could only tell Robert's mother about the matter and let her make the decision.
After telling Maisie everything, her face grew sullen.
She then said how could her son be so obsessed with Georgia, it turned out that those two were living together already.
It pissed her off that Robert was a fool. He even helped other man to raise their daughter.
"You tell them to stay put, I'll be right there."
After ordering coldly, Maisie immediately stood up and called for taxi.
Ivan asked curiously.
"Auntie, what happened?"
"Your cousin Robert was actually raising Georgia's daughter, and now she is inside his villa. Selena and Georgia's best friend wants to take his daughter away. You follow me to see what's going on."
Ivan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Auntie, I'll follow you."
After they finished talking, they immediately took the car to Robert's villa.
On an island.
It was time for dinner, Kayden walked towards Georgia again and she intended to take her for dinner.
Georgia hesitated for a long time and she spoke to Kayden.
"Can Robert have dinner too?"
Kayden snorted a laugh.
"Of course he can eat, if he died now, how will our master take revenge. You know that death will be the end of the story, only if he's breathing that he could feel the torture."
Such words sent chills down Georgia's spine.
She didn't want to eat, but her condition left her no choice. If she didn't eat, it would affect the child inside her. Georgia could only follow Kayden to the restaurant to have dinner.
Kayden laughed a little beside her.
"Ms Lane, I thought how much you care for Mr Simpson. But it turns out when Mr Simpson was beaten, you only knelt on the ground and shed tears. And now you're willing to have dinner when I ask you, this means that you don't care much about Robert. So, why do you care if he is alive or not, or whether his legs are broken?"
Georgia didn't dare to speak, she could only lower her head and smile bitterly, because she was pregnant now.
She could skip meals, but how could she let the baby inside her belly suffer?
Annie's heart condition was not good, this was already the thing she felt guiltiest in her life. And if she let anything else happen to the baby inside her belly, Georgia has no dignity to live on.
To Georgia, of course, the child inside her belly was more important than Robert's affection for her.
This seemed heartless.
But she had lost too much already. She had to survive, she had to survive for her children.
With this in her mind, Georgia suddenly heard the sound of the sky roaring, as if a plane had arrived.
