Aidan smiled and sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Ms Lane, I'm sorry for just now, I wanted to test you when those guys claimed that it was you. I wanted to know if you are capable enough to stand beside Robert. The Simpson is a powerful family and surrounded by complicated people, I wanted to see how well you can hold the title as Mrs Simpson. I have my ways to interrogate them actually."
Georgia was a little surprised. She had never expected what happened just now was a test from Robert's father.
She didn't know how to react but Robert spoke to his father sarcastically.
"Mr Simpson, you are not a responsible father, you had never cared about me all these years, but now wanted to know and test the capabilities of my woman? You have no right to do that."
Aidan gave out a helpless smile.
"Think as you pleased, I only wish that you will be happy with Ms Lane. If she wasn't capable enough, I planned to send more people to protect both of you. Robert, you are still young, did you know that Laurence keeps you under his surveillance?"
Robert's face stiffened.
He had been tracking Laurence since he was back home, he was his enemy and Laurence wanted him dead, so Robert wanted to make the first move.
But he couldn't find anything, Laurence seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Robert felt that Laurence was a tiger hiding in the wood preying on him, he was waiting for an opportunity to devour him. He was worried.
He had a lover and a mother to protect, so Robert wanted to get rid of Laurence the soonest possible.
"Forget about Laurence, I have my men on him. I thought he will let you off the hook if I make a business deal with him, but he hated you to the core, your situation now is only one could live. So I hope you won't reject my help, don't wait until your loved ones get hurt and regret not accepting my help today."
Robert remained silent, he didn't want Aidan help.
He left over ten years ago and he didn't need a belated father's love.
But Aidan was more powerful and resourceful than he was.
He was only thirty, his networks were nothing compared to Aidan's.
If he was alone in this world, he will never accept help from Aidan.
But he couldn't bear seeing Georgia or his mother get hurt, so he replied casually, "Do as you want, but I hope you won't interfere with my life."
Aidan smile in satisfaction.
"I've interrogated them just now and they admitted that Ms Lane has nothing to do with the incident. Someone showed them your picture, told them your name and instructed them to blame it all on you should they get caught."
Georgia let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr Simpson."
Aidan nodded and turned to Robert.
"The three of them admitted that they received one million, the money was transferred to an account under Callen. Robert, get your man to check this transaction, it must be from the Lane family, can you do it?"
Robert nodded. "Send me the account information and I will investigate."
The atmosphere became dead silent in an instant, Georgia didn't know what to say and Aidan's mobile rang.
"Uncle in law, we are here, can you let us in?"
It was a woman's voice from the other side, Aidan nodded.
"One moment, I will ask them to open the gate."
"Please sit for a while, I have visitors."
Georgia and Robert remained seated and it was Aston and Emilia that walked in.
The world was small, the siblings knew Robert's father.
"Uncle in law."
"Have a seat."
Aidan said while Georgia was astonished.
Aston and Emilia addressed Aidan as uncle in law.
But they are not related to Robert.
Which mean Robert's father married Emilia and Aston's aunt.
While Georgia was thinking about all that, Robert held her hand with a stiffened face.
"Since you have visitors, we should leave."
Robert looked unhappy, he rejected them while Emilia and Aston greeted Georgia.
"Ms Lane, nice to see you."
They didn't ask the reason why Georgia was here.
But Aston met Robert, he visited MU before and humiliated Georgia.
But now they are seated side by side holding hands, no matter how cold Aston was, he felt that they were odd, he didn't know what kind of relationship Georgia had with Robert.
They looked close at the party too and even got kidnapped together.
But Aston didn't think much, he thought it was just an accident.
And Aston knew this was not a good time to ask.
Aidan knew the struggle in Robert's heart, he didn't force further.
"I will send you Callen's account details, if you wish, you could go home now and do give me a call when you found out the truth."
Robert nodded coldly, he held Georgia's hand and said, "Bring me out of here, let's go home."
Ivan's face turned sour since Emilia entered the house, he didn't want to speak to her.
It looked like she was a relative of his uncle's wife, he had misunderstood her identity.
He thought she was nothing but a bar lady, a gold digger.
But she came in with her husband and addressed Aidan as uncle in law!
Ivan knew how wealthy Aidan was, Emilia was no different!
He had been fooled by this woman for the past six years.
Ivan said with a sour face, "Uncle, I will go with Robert."
Ivan followed Robert and Georgia's footsteps.
Georgia saw a familiar middle-aged woman while pushing Robert into the garden, she smiled friendly towards them and Georgia watched this woman enter the house.
She thought this woman looked really familiar.
But her thought was interrupted by Robert.
"Why did you stop?"
So Georgia continued pushing Robert. Ivan followed them into the car.
"Why are you here with us? Your car is behind."
Robert said coldly to Ivan.
"Robert, I want to go to your place tonight, I will have my assistant bring my car home, I want to chat with you, can I?"
Robert didn't reply while Ivan called Ben.
"Bring the car and park at home, I will go to Robert's."
And so the car headed to Robert's villa. Robert didn't say a word throughout the journey, he held onto Georgia's hand tightly.
When they arrived at the villa, Robert said to Georgia.
"I need to be alone to do some thinking, ask them to prepare your meal and have a good rest after."
And then Robert turned to Ivan.
"I'm not in the mood to chat with you today, you can go home or tell the housekeeper if you want to stay overnight here."
Georgia didn't know how to comfort Robert, she watched the servant pushed Robert back into his bedroom in silence.
There were only Georgia and Ivan remained in the living room.
"Ms Lane, don't worry about him, he felt depressed now, but he'll be fine in a while."
Georgia confused about the relation between Robert and his parents, so she asked Ivan.
"I didn't know what happened between Robert and his father, could you tell me?"
Georgia wanted to know everything about Robert, she wanted to comfort and protect this man, she didn't want to see him unhappy.
"I thought you don't like Robert, it seems like I was wrong."
Ivan smiled out of a sudden, they both sat on the couch and Ivan explained.
"It all begins with the marriage between my uncle and aunt."
Georgia was all ears for Ivan.
"Their marriage was arranged, there was no love between them. They gave birth to Robert and Wendy through their ten years long marriage. Their relation was similar to an ordinary family, they treated each other with respect but my uncle fell in love with another woman insanely. He wanted a divorce but my aunt objected. My grandpa didn't agree too, grandpa was the one in control of the family at that time, he warned my uncle that if he insisted to get a divorce, he will not get a penny from the family and must never come back!"
"Everyone thought my uncle would tolerate but he chose to divorce, he left without taking a penny from the family, everything that belonged to him was transferred to Robert. He could inherit everything once he reached the age of maturity. So my uncle left when Robert was young and never came back. I met uncle again only this year, the Simpson family had already forgotten about the existence of this man. Emilia and her husband addressed my uncle as their uncle in law just now didn't they? I guess Robert was angry about this. And the middle-aged woman we saw on our way out must be his wife, although I can't be sure, but it seemed like it."
"Thank you for telling me all this."
Ivan smiled.
"Georgia, since you and Robert love each other, you must appreciate each other, Robert has had a lonely life all these years, he had never fallen for any woman. He asked me a few times to operate on your daughter, he truly cares about you."
Georgia felt sad suddenly and she nodded at Ivan.
"Don't worry, I will always by his side, he loves me so much and I too will protect him as much as I could."
Ivan's impression of Georgia was getting better, he didn't want to go home because he knew he would get drunk at home.
Emilia appeared before him once again and he couldn't get her out of his head.
He asked Georgia.
"Emilia and her husband greeted you when they walked in, do you know them?"
