Three men who looked ferocious were angrily scolding Georgia Lane. Georgia was very lost, she didn't know what was going on, and why these three men were in her face berating her. She didn't even know them.
Aidan Simpson glared at Georgia.
"I had already asked them, they all insisted that you were the one who instructed them to steal the car. Georgia, how are you defending yourself?"
"I… It's not me, I don't even know them…"
"At this point, why are you still denying the truth? Georgia, if you don't make things clear right here, don't even think of leaving this house."
Aidan looked at her with extremely cold eyes, he was showing absolutely no mercy to her. He was sure that Georgia was the perpetrator.
Georgia panicked and grabbed Robert Simpson's hand. She kept shaking her head.
"Robert… I didn't do it, it really wasn't me…"
She was at the brink of breaking down into tears. She had no idea why these three men were accusing her.
"I know it wasn't you. Don't worry."
Robert kissed her hand warmly, calming her down slightly. Georgia was just afraid that Robert did not believe her.
"The one who instructed them to steal the car wasn't Georgia, Mr. Simpson, are you panicking because you're running out of options? Why are you willing to believe everything that these three men said?"
Aidan's cold emotions remained unchanged.
He replied, "Georgia, since you are so adamant that you're not the mastermind behind the car stealing, why not have a chat with these three fine gentlemen? Ask them why do they keep insisting that you're the one behind the stealing."
Georgia knew that she could not panic now, as she must clear herself of any suspicion.
Since the ones who stole the car were already caught, she faced them bravely and asked.
"All of you said that I instructed you to steal the car, where's the proof? Will you do anything I asked of you just because I said it?"
A man with dyed yellow hair replied.
"Miss Lane, are you trying to turn your back against us? You were the one who instructed us to steal the car in the beginning, you even paid us one million yuan after we did it."
All of a sudden, Georgia laughed out loud. She turned and told Robert and Aidan.
"All three of them can't be in the same room, split them up and I'll interrogate them."
She was confident that she could get them to spit out the truth.
She did not instruct them, she also did not know them. By asking them one by one and picking out differences between their statements, she will be proven innocent.
After listening to what she said, Aidan was slightly impressed, a big difference from his originally cold emotions.
He ordered his bodyguards to separate all three of them and detain them in different rooms.
The three men's name were Callen Beard, Tom Lewis, and Toby Stewart.
Aidan brought Georgia and Robert and interrogated Callen first.
Ivan Simpson got there just as the interrogation started. He had no idea as to what was going on, but still followed Aidan and his company.
Callen was the one with the yellow hair, he was also the one who claimed that the three of them got one million yuan. Georgia smiled and asked him.
"You said that your merry little group got one million yuan, so how exactly did you split the spoils? Did you split it evenly among yourselves?"
"We split it evenly, obviously!"
He said while puffing his chest.
"You can't split one million evenly among you three, so tell me, exactly how much did you get?"
"We spent a hundred thousand to have fun together, the remaining nine hundred thousand was then split 30-30-30 between us."
Callen said with extreme confidence. Georgia continued asking him.
"Since you claimed that I was the one giving you the instructions, tell me how did I instruct you? By calling you? By texting you? Or did I find someone else to give you the instructions? Also, where and when did we meet? And how did I transfer the money to you?"
"On the night before the stealing, you gave us a call. You told us that if we stole the car, and then wrecked it, you will transfer the million yuan payment to my bank account after the deed is done."
"So, what you're saying is, we never met each other face to face? And I only contacted you through the phone, is that correct?"
Callen nodded in agreement.
"Then how is it possible for you to recognize me? I've never met you, remember?"
All of a sudden, he was at a lost for words. He panicked, looked at Georgia and said.
"You had instructed us to do something else before this. We had already met before this."
"Tell me why exactly did I meet you guys for back then? Give me all the details."
"It was a few days before the stealing, you wanted to meet us at a village. You told us to prepare ourselves, as something will be happening soon. You promised us that the money will be transferred after we did the thing. So, you asked for my bank account number during that time. You also told me that the details will be provided through the phone later. We've already met back then. How could you turn your back against us now, Miss Lane?"
Callen continued to defend himself.
"I told you to be exact, how many days ago were 'a few days'? Were you alone? Or did your partners in crime also came? And at which village did we have our conversation?"
Georgia was slowly but surely gaining confidence as she continued her interrogation.
"It was three days ago, I was the only one who met you. We met in that factory in the suburb of the west. You can stop asking so deliberately now, Miss Lane, I remember everything."
"Very well, wait here, Callen."
Georgia turned and said to Robert,
"We will ask the same questions to the other two guys. I can guarantee you that their answers will be different from each other, as they are lying about me having met them before."
Georgia left alongside Robert, with Aidan and Ivan following them. They left the basement with Callen in it.
When they got back to the living room, Aidan turned around and told Georgia.
"Miss Lane, I will order my men to interrogate the other two scumbags, you don't have to interrogate them now."
Georgia was confused when she saw Aidan's behaviour towards her changed to a caring one. She had no clue as to how exactly will Aidan treat her.
When she was being accused by the three men some time ago, Aidan looked as if he can kill someone with his gaze, like he was going to avenge her daughter.
And now, he appeared to be confident, and treated her warmly.
"I will be resting with Georgia in the living room, then. You can go and continue the interrogations with your men. It's obvious that these three idiots did not come up with a universal excuse, your men will have to try really hard to fail to get them to spit out the truth."
Robert said coldly, as Aidan smiled and told him.
"Among these men, there's one called Toby who had just gotten a newborn baby not long ago. My men just informed me that they've brought that baby here, you two can rest here now. Ivan, you can join them too, I'll take care of both of them soon, just wait here."
Ivan, Robert and Georgia stayed in the living room as Aidan brought his men and went to the room with Toby in it.
Before he even said anything, Aidan ordered his bodyguard to bring out the baby right in front of Toby.
In a flash, Toby started panicking. He thought to himself, that baby was his only son, how could this man find him? He even hid the baby very well!
Aidan had one of the men put a knife to the baby's throat and said.
"I'll cut to the chase, I'll give you three seconds, if you fail to tell me the truth after the time is up, your precious little kid will die here, and no one will ever find out what happened to him."
Having said this, he turned to face the bodyguard holding the baby.
"Clock's ticking. Three…two…one…"
Before he said 'one', Toby anxiously asked.
"W-what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know!"
Aidan smiled cruelly and said.
"If you keep up your blabbering, I don't know what's going to happen to your child, mate. Three…Two…"
Just as Aidan said 'two', Toby got on his knees and begged him, he said.
"I…I'll say it. It wasn't Georgia Lane who instructed us. Back then, it was a man who gave us the instructions. He also showed us a photo of Miss Lane and told us her name. He said if we ever get caught, we should claim that it was her that instructed us. We really don't know who instructed us, other than he's a man. He gave us instruction through the phone, and then wired one million yuan to Callen's account. We then split the money between ourselves."
Aidan replied, "So, you're telling me that you're only accusing Miss Lane because the real culprit told you to?"
Toby nodded quickly.
"Please, I've already told you the truth. Can you please let my son go?"
Aidan nodded.
"Very well, I'll send the kid back."
Having said that, Aidan immediately brought his men and went to interrogate Tom.
He then told Tom everything Toby said. These guys were nothing but scaredy cats, they don't really have any courage. After Tom knew that Toby had already spilled the beans, he also anxiously told Aidan the truth.
He thought that stealing and wrecking a car could earn him a few hundred thousand yuan easily. Now, it seemed like they had made someone who held a lot of power very angry.
Aidan returned to the living room.
Georgia, Robert and Ivan were chatting with each other. By then, Robert had already explained everything about the basement to Ivan.
Ivan was not buying anything the three men said. He saw that Aidan was approaching them and asked.
"Uncle, the three of them were obviously lying. It must be the Lane family that told them to lie. How could you believe that Georgia was the one behind what they did?"
