"What's that got to do with you?"
Wilson said coldly, then got up and walked back towards his own bedroom.
Elsie's eyes bugged out as she started yelling.
"What kind of attitude is that? Did I touch a nerve for you not to answer that question? Tell me honestly if you like men and got mad because of that!"
Wilson ignored her completely and slammed the door shut.
"What's this man doing playing cool! Straight guy like him will regret it someday."
Georgia had to laugh. She'd always felt there was something between Elsie and Wilson.
But the two were like snails. For every bit of progress, they seemed to get stuck again.
Well, it wouldn't do for outsiders to step in, so Georgia only asked a question.
"What's up with the two of you? Forget what Wilson thinks, do you want to date him? If you want to, then go ahead and confess."
Elsie looked complicatedly at Georgia.
"I did have some illusions that I liked this dummy, but when I just asked him, his reaction makes me think I'm the dumb one for even liking him. Don't ask me those childish questions again. Spoils my mood."
With that, Elsie also turned and walked towards her own bedroom.
Georgia sighed as Annie turned towards her.
"What are Uncle Wilson and Auntie Elsie arguing about? I don't understand them at all."
Georgia stooped down and picked Annie up.
"I don't understand what's going on between them, either. Maybe that's how they flirt. Ignore them. I don't get it, either. Let's go take a bath."
Saying that, she carried Annie towards the bathroom and got the water running.
Meanwhile, Travis went and drove straight to Sarah's place.
After about an hour, he knocked on the door right away.
Soon a servant opened the door. Seeing that it was Travis, they let him in directly.
Travis went in and walked right up to Sarah sitting on the sofa. She was staring at the numbers and projections on her computer. Hearing footsteps, she lifted her head. It was Travis. Sarah was confused.
"Why'd you come over all of a sudden? Not even giving me a call first. Is something wrong?"
She directed one of her servants to make some tea.
Then she turned back towards Travis.
"Why don't you sit down? If there's anything, have a seat and we can talk about it."
Travis recalled all the times the two of them had put their lives on the line to support each other.
He suppressed his doubts and sat, asking his question in a restrained tone.
"Back then, when you did the DNA test for Sierra Moon and Wesley Simpson, the results showed they were mother and son by birth. You told me that. Do you still remember?"
Sarah nodded, her heart jolting.
If Travis was asking about this, it meant he probably knew the truth.
She made a befuddled face.
"Has there been some issue?"
Studying Sarah's expression, Travis slowly spoke.
"I've confirmed on my side that Sierra and Wesley aren't related. Back then, why did your test show they were mother and on? I want you to tell me the truth, Sarah. Has there been some sabotage on your end, or have you been lying to me from the beginning?"
Sarah hesitated for a few seconds over whether to keep playing dumb or to tell the truth.
Finally, she replied.
"Maybe there's a problem with one of my subordinates. I'll find out who the mole is. It might be that Sierra had caught wind of our investigation into her relationship with Wesley, and she bribed someone to fake the report."
Sarah finally decided to push the responsibility onto someone else. Travis stared deeply at her.
He had a basic grasp of the kind of person Sarah was after a year of interaction.
Sarah only ever did what she considered to be right. In her view of morality, if she thought it was the correct course of action, she had to take it.
"I don't care if you were behind it or if your subordinates went behind your back, Sarah. I just wanted to tell you one thing – don't interfere with what's between me and Georgia. I had hoped that I could get back together with Georgia. Even dreamed about it. But I don't want to use any trickery or plots. I would really lose her if I did.
"Of course, I probably won't have a chance with her now. Georgia already cleared it up today. I might not see her too much from now on. After I help you catch Jayson Mathis, I'll probably find someplace secluded and settle down. That's that for the relationship between Georgia and me, I guess. No need to pity me or try to help. I'll be fine on my own."
As he said that, Sarah couldn't resist speaking up.
"Robert Simpson is no longer of this world. This is a chance for you to get together with Georgia. Why would you give up on yourself like this? If she loved you before, that proves you're her type to begin with. When she gets out of the shadow of Robert's death, she'll discover your good points again. The Travis I know isn't a person who gives up easily. What did Georgia say? Getting you to lose courage like this."
"The first reason is, of course, that I don't want to put Georgia on the spot. I don't want the purity of the relationship we once had to end up completely ruined in the end. I am still her first love, the purest first love of her memories. I don't want our relationship to become a chaotic mess. I know what Georgia is like, and my persistence will has a ninety-nine percent chance of ending up fruitless.
"As for the second reason – didn't you see what happened today? The Simpson family inheritance still hasn't landed with results. Georgia told me why. She had a marriage certificate made with Robert already, so on Sierra's end, she faked evidence to say the will was fake, but still couldn't inherit the property, since Sierra hadn't made a certificate with Robert. Georgia and Robert are together again, so she'll always remember him even if he's gone. Moreover, I actually suspect..."
Sarah raised the question.
"What do you suspect?"
"I suspect that Robert isn't actually dead. That maybe he's behind all these events, that maybe he's faked his death. I know Georgia, and I've seen a lot of the feelings between her and Robert. If Robert really had left this world, Georgia would absolutely get over it. She's a strong person. But even then, it wouldn't be this quickly. She wouldn't be fighting against Sierra this calmly right now. Other people think that her determination comes from her pain, but I think that it's because she knows full well Robert's still alive, and it's her happiness that gives her determination. Of course, those are just my suspicions."
