Georgia, though, shook her head at him.
"It's fine. I've accepted it."
If Robert really was dead, though, Georgia felt like she couldn't accept it. Or, at least, she shouldn't be accepting it so quickly.
After all, this plan was still in secret. When Jasper and Jason caught wind of the truth, though, Robert wasn't going to get off easy.
Georgia was already waiting to take care of him in the carnage to follow.
"Since you've got the marriage certificate, then the inheritance should be solved easily enough, and Sierra should be chased out directly. What about her son? What's to do about him? And the old lady, how is she? Are there going to be problems with Robert's mother living in the mansion?"
Seems like everyone had guessed that Sierra would probably move against Robert's mother and Wesley.
At that moment, Ivan stood out and explained it.
"I've already picked up the old madam and Wesley and sent them away. Sierra won't be able to target them. I've already prepared for this. Don't worry."
"Then your plan was perfectly put together. Congratulations. Only, why didn't you request that the lawyers divide up the inheritance today and leave Sierra there? You've got the right to evict her already."
Jasper didn't quite understand. He felt that Georgia could absolutely use the marriage certificate as proof to reasonably give Sierra the boot.
"I'm worried that Sierra still has something up her sleeve if we force her hand. Also, with everything she's been capable of doing, I suspect there's people working behind her. I wanted to give her some buffer space so she'd expose that party in this situation. By the time they show themselves, I won't tolerate her anymore."
Jasper could have guessed that much. It was a huge possibility there was someone behind Sierra.
"Since you've planned it all out, I can relax. I'd wanted to help you, but this body of mine can't keep up with all the work. But any help you need, come find me."
Georgia smiled and thanked him. Finally, the whole gang stayed in the ward and chatted away with Jasper for an entire afternoon.
Georgia also told him about how she'd found her birth mother, and how Wesley wasn't Sierra's blood son, as the conversation progressed.
Jasper had gotten a lot of inside information this afternoon and was excited all throughout the day.
Probably because it was just so lonely living in the hospital, and with so many people coming to keep him company today, he was clearly in a good mood.
At night, as the sky started to turn dark and Georgia's group was about to leave, there came a knock on the door. This time, it was Jasper's mother, Elliot.
They smiled and greeted each other before Georgia took Elsie with her and left.
She'd already had a driver come over to pick them up. As they sat down in the car, Elsie exclaimed with excitement.
"Why are you free now? I thought you were having a driver come pick us up?"
Wilson turned around and smiled at Georgia and Elsie.
"I just happened to be free, so I've come over to take you home."
On Georgia's end, it was all happy-go-lucky, while the internet was already champing at the bit.
Someone had released to the tabloids today that the will had been proven fake and Georgia had been kicked out the door without getting a single cent of the inheritance.
That rumor spread quickly, and after that, Anaya had even clicked like on the news.
So everyone believed it, and started growing riled up.
"I was saying that Georgia couldn't possibly inherit the fortune. Of course it was fake."
"All that effort and they proved her a fraud and booted her out today. You love to see it. I've always disliked Georgia Lane, looking so devious but still playing the saint. Disgusting!"
"And all the world rejoiced as Georgia's true face as a schemer was finally revealed today. I've had it up to here looking at her coming up on the news all day every day. Probably bought the clicks herself with how much she wants to get famous, you ask me."
"It's hilarious. Look at this picture. She was so cocky going in. Probably thought she had it in her pocket to inherit dozens of billions. Then she's still faking her smile as she got out so people wouldn't see her swept out the door with the trash. I hear security tossed her out, too. What a shameless woman."
"If she had any shame, do you think she could have gotten this much inheritance? She threw away her shame to inherit Robert's father's fortune. Now that her methods have been exposed, I'm willing to bet she also tricked her way into Robert's father's will the first time. In one year or less, she's definitely losing the rights to that inheritance. She might even go to prison. Quite a few years for the crime of forging a will."
The denizens on the internet were all excited that Georgia was finally losing her inheritance.
They were also looking forward to seeing the SY Group she inherited grow wrong, and to have her finally end up broke without a dime to her name.
Of course, a lot of them were also looking forward to seeing her land in prison.
It could be said that, in the eyes of most people online, Georgia was getting what she deserved.
Georgia scrolled through the comments on the internet and smiled on the car as they drove back to the mansion.
Elsie felt it was strange, and frowned as she looked at the hot discussions online.
"Aren't you going to clarify things? They're insulting you."
"You think this is the first time I've dealt with slander, Elsie? Ever since I was framed for plagiarism six years ago, I understood from all my classmates' mocking smiles what pain human speech could wreak. But only after experiencing all that did I understand – after those people mocked me, they'd turn around and forget about it. They'd go on eating and drinking what they need to, watching their movies and buying their favorite clothes. If I disappeared from the internet, they'd forget about this woman with her name in the dirt. So don't concern yourself with what other people say. They're cussing you out one moment, while the very next, they don't give a damn. If you get sad and upset over those things, they wouldn't care. If you go even further and jump of a building to kill yourself, trying to prove them wrong, they wouldn't care, either. They'll just smile and forget about it all, or boo you for not having enough mental tolerance to take a few insults, then go on to bully someone else. I've seen these people for what they are long ago. Don't bother with them. Just treat it all as a joke."
Part of what Georgia said came from the heart, but part of it was for another reason.
She knew Elsie's past. Elsie was always beside her, and Georgia was also sure that she'd have other enemies to come.
She was worried that people would turn their sights on Elsie and reveal her background, showing her scars, making her suffer.
So she wanted to tell her not to be so concerned about other people's words.
"Even if someone was cursing at you every day, while you've got thousands, millions, billions to spend, go to any store and show it. People can only treat you well, fairly and honestly. Even if they despise you inwardly, they still have to bow down before you. So there's no need to be so concerned about what other people say. Living a good life is more important than any rumor."
"You've really seen it through, Georgia. But you're right. Other than the people I care about, there's no need to care about what random passersby say. They don't care. Even if they're insulting you, they're just trying to work off their emotions. They might not even be insulting you and just throwing a tantrum in general."
Elsie spoke, and Georgia was happy with that.
"Seems like you've got a good understanding of these people. That's right. No need to care about their views at all."
"But you can't leave out on telling everyone you're married to Robert. This is an opportunity to take Sierra down a notch. When are you planning on exposing it?"
Elsie felt that sure, not caring was fine, but taking Sierra and the people who thought they knew the truth down a few notches had to feel great.
She was looking forward to seeing how stunned everyone would be when Georgia revealed the truth.
"I'm guessing Sierra's side will start the reveal. I'll let the comments ferment for a while, then post my marriage certificate online. I think the people behind Sierra should be coming out of the woodworks soon. Tomorrow should be a good opportunity."
Georgia and Elsie returned in high spirits to the mansion, but when Georgia got in, there came a knock on her door.
Opening it to see, the person coming this time was Travis.
Georgia smiled. Just right. She had some questions that could use clearing up today.
