Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 490

Georgia nodded.

“It had to have something to do with him. That box was meant to be a gift and passed security just fine. If it had been a bomb, Robert and I would have discovered it. It was switched later on, but it was a gift, so we didn’t take it apart to see, and let other people take advantage.”

“Why did you go see Vincent Poole? Isn’t he a hypnotist? He was responsible for taking my memories.”

Casey said strangely, and Georgia told her about Robert’s decision with his mother.

“…I don’t know if Robert did the right thing or not, but he made the decision to let his mother forget about all the pain. So he asked Vincent over. His father had suggested the plan. He’d guessed what situation Robert would face and knew who I was. He knew that Robert’s mother wouldn’t accept me, and knew that she’d never walk out from under this pain. So he left Robert some last words to consider such an option.”

Casey had a complicated look in her eye as Georgia finished.

“He considered that far. Sometimes, I don’t know what to think of him. If I hadn’t recalled these memories, he would have stayed as a sweet and gentle person in my eyes who fulfilled my every need. He poured all his tenderness and affection on me, and for twenty years, I relied on him and treated him as my husband. He let me live without worry for all those years, and I can’t blame him for it. But he was always the type of person who got his way.”

As Casey finished, Georgia fell silent.

Robert’s father was truly a complicated person. A lot of the things he did weren’t just or moral, and he just did whatever he wanted. But he succeeded.

He left this world in the end, but he’d gotten who he loved, and the life he wanted.

And he’d even prepared for what’d happen after he departed. He probably had lived with no regrets.

“You should have told me about Vincent Poole. Aidan told me that the man would do anything for money, and had to be threatened not to do any funny business. If I’d known you were getting Vincent to do this sort of thing to Robert’s mother, I would have reminded you not to trust that person so easily.”

Georgia’s eyes widened and she was filled with regret.

“Robert and I were both fooled. After Robert decided to go to Vincent, his people got in contact with Vincent right away, and Vincent agreed to come help immediately. Robert had even found it strange, because Vincent was known internationally for being hard to deal with, but now he was coming with Robert so easily. Then Vincent gave us an explanation, that Robert’s father had saved him multiple times, and that he owed Aidan his life. That’s why he’d agreed to Robert’s request without even demanding pay.

“We still paid him generously in the end, but now, it seems like he’d made up the lie to lower our guard from the beginning to make us think he really was just repaying a debt. In the country, he kept on acting like a gentle old man. He was kind and soft to everyone and always did what he came with Robert for. There was never any trouble. Robert even told me that his mother had forgotten her memories. Vincent’s acting was just too good.”

Georgia said that furiously, while Casey sighed.

“Robert’s father didn’t save Vincent’s life or anything. He really is a difficult person, but if you gave him enough money, of course you could have hired him all the same. But he did this against you for a reason. He didn’t have any grudges against Robert or Aidan. He might have been forced. We don’t know if he’s disappeared because he’s gone somewhere safe, or if he’s being threatened by those people.”

Georgia didn’t care about that.

She just wanted to find Robert. If Robert left her, she might not have any lingering attachment to living on.

After a long silence. Georgia and her mother finally arrived at the Powell palace.

Security checked their car, confirmed their identity, and the pair’s car drove on inside.

After getting off, Georgia and Casey walked inside.

“What are you crying about? You’re making a ruckus. Your parents aren’t dead, so stop sobbing in front of me!”

Georgia had just gone in when she heard a stinging bit of mockery.
