“Waking up at a time like this, I’m not sure when you can go to sleep tonight. Come and stay with the kids and tell them a story. My throat’s going hoarse.”
Robert smiled and went in, taking the storybook from Georgia, and started telling stories to the still wide-eyed children.
Georgia waited patiently and stayed with the children for almost forty minutes before they shut their eyes and went to sleep.
Afterwards, husband and wife left the room.
“Did you sleep well?”
Georgia turned to Robert and asked as they were outside.
She was afraid that Robert still felt ill somewhere, and she was on guard at all times.
“I’m much better after a nap. Don’t worry, I’m feeling fine.”
Robert said that and sighed.
“I just called Jason. Jasper still hasn’t found where the child is and no kidnappers have given the Holland family a call. It’s getting more and more serious. These rivals are clearly only targeting the children; they’re not even bragging or gloating about it. We’ve investigated all the potential enemies of the Holland family and turned up nothing.”
“See if you can get some other people’s help. Wilson’s already helping, but I haven’t gotten any news on my side either. It’s like looking for a needle in the haystack trying to find a child in a sea of population. This is troublesome.”
The couple weren’t too happy about the news, and as they went hand in hand to the bedroom to rest, Georgia thought of something else.
“There was too much going on yesterday and I forgot to tell you. After you, Aunt Laurie and Uncle Carr took Wesley to the hospital, Aston told me about Kayden.
“He says that last year, he participated in a hematology research team that had their project results stolen by another pharmaceutical company. Weren’t we suspecting that Kayden was getting close to Aston only to steal the experimental data? Seems the suspicion was correct, but Aston also told me that he didn’t have the complete data. Even if Kayden approached him and stole the figures from him, she couldn’t have stolen all of the data. He didn’t understand why Kayden targeted him.
“He told me, though, that the Ace Group was the one who’d invested in them in the beginning, but the project results were published by the Albertson Group. I feel like Kayden might have something to do with the Albertson Group, but I don’t know about the investors and authority figures behind the scenes with these two companies, nor do I understand their research staff too well... I don’t know if you have a good understanding of these two groups, Robert. If you do, we’ll send people to investigate it, and we might find out who’s behind Kayden.”
“The Albertson Group?”
Robert spoke curiously.
“The main people in power behind this group is the Wimbledon family. It’s a family that’s hundreds of years old with really deep wealth. People on the market can’t even estimate how much property they have.
“With so much history behind them, Wimbledon family could have huge nets of connections and power. If Kayden is behind them, she has to have a trade relationship with them. Robert, let’s start investigating from the Albertson and Wimbledon angle. It might help.”
“I’ve got it. I’ll look into it soon.”
As Robert said that, the two laid against each other in bed.
The two had napped in the daytime and they weren’t sleepy at the moment.
Georgia thought about Travis and Sarah’s wedding at the end of next month and told Robert slowly about it.
Robert found it strange and even asked it directly.
“From what I know of Travis, he always liked you, and getting married to someone else – Sarah Duran to boot – is a bit strange, don’t you think?”
Georgia gossiped along with him.
“I found it strange too, but somethings shouldn’t be looked too deep into as outsiders. I feel like Miss Duran really likes Travis, and if Travis could set the past down and live happily ever after with her, the reasons aren’t important. I just hope the two of them can find happiness.”
“I hope they can find happiness too.”
Robert said from the bottom of his heart.
Travis had been a fierce rival beside him, and now that this rival was getting married, it was strange, but a good thing, and Robert felt pretty relieved.
Of course he was confident in his wife’s feelings for him.
But he had to stay on guard, and he couldn’t have ignored her first love staying by her.
Men couldn’t be too petty or blame it on their wives, so he could only bear it, since Travis really was good to Georgia.
The two chatted away, and maybe because they’d stayed up late at night, they fell asleep.
