Jason asked curiously.
"After Dan went missing, Selena broke and rushed out the door to search for the child. There was no way to calm her down and Jasper had to go with her to search everywhere. The two of them are out looking for the child right now and a lot of people are with them. But doing that is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The only thing we could do was call you all for help. With more manpower, there's more chance of finding the child."
So Jasper and Selena were out searching for the kid. Jason and Robert comforted Bailey and Elliot softly from the side, soothing them and saying that they'd already put people on looking for the child.
"Did the Holland family make any lethal enemies in business? Or do you have any suspects?"
"The company hasn't had too many big projects right now and we haven't made enemies of anyone. If it was someone holding a grudge from before, I don't have a clear suspect even now."
Bailey mumbled. Robert and Jason looked at each other, at a loss.
If it was a rival who wanted to ruin the kid, they wouldn't expose their tracks at all. What awaited the child was only death.
If it was kidnapping for ransom, at a time like this, they should have put in a call and asked for money. But even now, there hadn't been any calls from the kidnapper. It was a higher probability that a rival had done this, which made the situation all the more troublesome.
Everyone waited a whole night at the Holland family and didn't' sleep.
There were still no news of the kid at all. By the morning, they even received news that Selena had completely crumbled and fainted. Jasper had taken her to the hospital.
Even now, there wasn't a bit of news of the kid.
They went to the hospital to see Jasper, where Selena was still unconscious in bed, and having nightmares incessantly.
Having been through a high-strung night, everyone was tired.
Elliot turned to the gang.
"You were with us for the whole of last night. Go back and rest. We'll have people looking for the child. Can't run your helping hands ragged. No need to stay with us. You should go back and rest."
Robert had wanted to stay with Jasper and the others, but then he saw how tired his own wife was.
He nodded, then turned to Jason and spoke.
"Take Miss Bradley back and rest too. If you want to help, get a few hours' rest before coming back. Can't help without energy, right?"
Finally, Robert and Jason comforted a worried Jasper, then took their people home.
Georgia sat in the car with Robert and began to grow apprehensive.
"There hasn't been any news. If it really was some sick rival, it might already be too late. The way Selena is, she definitely wouldn't be able to take it."
Robert sighed at the side.
"Everyone knows how that works. But there's no other way. If he's alive, we need to see him, if he's dead, we need to see his corpse. If there still isn't any answer, we'll have to do our best to search for it."
Georgia was sorrowful. After becoming a mother, whenever she saw a child in danger close by, she grew fearful and sympathetic herself.
Just thinking of something happening to Annie brought a suffocating agony around her throat.
Thankfully, her child was staying healthily by her side, or she might be even worse off that Selena.
"You're really tired now. Sleep against me and don't think about this anymore. I'll deal with it."
Robert hugged Mrs. Simpson to in his arms and tried to get her to sleep.
Georgia nodded and was about to close her eyes and get her to sleep.
Georgia nodded. She was ready to close her eyes and sleep when she thought back to what Vincent had said last night.
She turned back to Robert and spoke.
"No, I haven't told you about yesterday yet. Mr. Poole already told me about Wesley's situation. His memories were completely changed from hypnosis. I also asked Mr. Poole if his memory could be recovered, but Mr. Poole advised against it. He told me..."
Georgia repeated everything Vincent had said and Robert hurriedly spoke to her.
"All right, I've got it. Hurry up and rest. Your eyes are this baggy now."
Her body was at her limit, so Georgia nodded.
She fell asleep against Robert's shoulder.
This wasn't like back when she was young anymore, still leaping and bounding after staying up late.
Once a person got past twenty-five, their energy wasn't the same as before, and staying up late could almost be deadly.
Georgia didn't know how long she'd slept, but when she woke, she found herself lying in bed.
Taking her phone over from the nightstand, Georgia looked at the time. It was past six in the evening.
She got up, washed and asked the butler.
Then she got to know that Robert had napped for two hours after coming back, then stayed in the office afterwards all the while.
The children were playing in the mansion garden right now. Georgia went over to the office to see Robert first.
"The butler said that you busied yourself with something after just sleeping for two hours. What is it? Why don't you rest up? You stayed up like me last night."
Georgia walked over by Robert's chair, and Robert pulled her into his lap, taking her by a hand.
"Randy tells me that there's been a foreign shark sniping the company's stock recently. I was looking at the information and studying what they wanted in case it caught us off guard."
The Simpson family properties were composed almost entirely out of prime stock, and their shares had always been attractive. Robert had almost completely backed out of the busy day-to-day business and was directing the general goal behind the scenes.
To target the Simpson family properties, it wasn't a regular shark. It'd take several hundred billion at least.
Really, it just never stopped.
"We haven't found Selena's kid yet and now someone's after you. We'd been planning to go overseas today. Do we still have to wait on this?"
Georgia really didn't want to let it drag on any longer. She really wanted to take Robert to that organization to check him right now.
She'd been worried about Robert's worsening condition. They hadn't expected Jasper's side to suddenly have an incident, so they'd delayed it for a day.
Now someone was sniping the Simpson family stock.
It was really getting annoying.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Simpson. They just want to empty out the stock. I've got a solution to this already. I just want to find out who's behind this.
"Jasper's incident wont' stop us from going overseas to check. I've already bought the tickets. We leave tomorrow."
Hearing Robert make that promise, Georgia hesitated.
"We haven't found Selena's child yet. Is it all right to leave now?"
"It's fine. I can't go out myself to search staying here anyway, and I've handed command of my forces in the country over to Jasper. Whether I'm here or not won't affect me. And Jasper knows what's up with my body too. He's still guilty knowing that he delayed us for a day. The trouble now is that Selena's mental state is really being strained. If this goes on and we don't find the child, I'm afraid her nerves will take a bit hit that she might not recover from."
"Let's hope we find the kid soon. We can't delay on your body or the checkup now."
As husband and wife finished the conversation, Robert seemed to have finished reading through the information. Georgia pulled Robert by the hand to the bedroom to get him to get some extra sleep.
She could see that Robert was exhausted. He had deep bags under his eyes, so she forced him to lie in bed and rest.
Georgia kept watch over him until she saw him sleep, then walked out the door and went downstairs to talk with the two kids.
"Your Daddy's sleeping right now. He stayed up all night last night and is really tired now. He'll come eat dinner with Mommy later."
"Mommy, is the boy from Uncle Jasper's family still missing?"
Annie asked concernedly. Georgia blinked, then understood.
"Did Daddy tell you what happened yesterday?"
Wesley nodded.
"Auntie Georgia, Annie and I saw Dad carry you back to rest, and Dad told us that the boy from Uncle Jasper's got stolen and you're helping to find him. How could there be such bad people? Stealing other people's children."
"Did you forget about Sierra Moon, Wesley? Didn't she pretend to be your real Mommy and lie to you lots? There's a lot of bad people in this world. Some people might be nice to you and kind to you and give you snacks, but they might not mean it. You have to remember, Annie and Wesley, other than Daddy and me and people we say you can trust, don't follow other people you don't know, and don't eat what they give you.
"The people who're stealing and selling children now have things that make you faint when you eat them. Like in the TV shows. When you faint, they can then take you away right then and there."
"I've got it, Mommy. Don't talk to strangers. Even with people I know, if they give me snacks, I won't reach out to teach them. I know about that."
Annie patted her chest and promised, while Wesley nodded at the side.
"Don't worry, Auntie Georgia, Annie and I both know about it. We're not dummies. If someone wants to take us away, Annie and I will definitely call for you, or get the bodyguards to protect us."
Georgia played with the two kids for a while longer, then the butler came over to tell them that dinner was ready. The three of them went over to the dining room.
Robert was still sleeping and Georgia didn't disturb him, just letting him sleep for a few hours.
At about seven to eight at night, Georgia received a call from Travis.
