Before Georgia could answer, Ivan laughed out loud.
“You’re lucky you met Georgia, Robert. She put all her stock on the line. If she lost, the whole of the SY Group would have gone to the bank. Luckily our side came out the victor. Otherwise, Georgia would have gone broke overnight and even taken on debt.
“I’m really impressed with Georgia’s courage and determination.”
Robert smiled and held Georgia’s hand.
“I lost you so much wealth, Georgia. I’ll transfer the moveable capital on my account to yours. You have to take care of me, right? I’ll make the money back for you in a few years.”
“What are you giving me your money for? Even if I used up all my moveable capital, I wouldn’t be at a point where I want for money. Besides, other women get taken care of by their husbands. I want to see what that’s like too. Keep your money and take care of me properly. You just said you were going to make back all you lost. You’ll lose face if you don’t you know? Back there, Jason and Ivan both heard it.”
Robert laughed even louder this time.
He knew that his wife got a bit shy, so he gave her a kiss in front of everybody.
Georgia’s face turned red, but she didn’t complain.
She enjoyed this sort of happy peaceful days after Robert woke up, and her anxiety was relieved.
Just joking around and sitting around with everyone was enough to make her feel content.
They chatted about everything, and Robert finally knew the full picture after he fainted. He brought up a worry.
“Has the Wimbledon family made any movements recently? They’ll definitely come for revenge. Our side has to be prepared.”
Jason turned to Robert.
“I’ve been managing the Simpson family business over here. There haven’t been any efforts to get even so far.”
At that, Robert turned to Wilson, who’d kept silent.
“Has the Wimbledon family done anything to strike back against the SY Group?”
“Not right now. My side’s kept a close watch on them. We don’t know if they’re planning on going silent for a while, or if they already have other plans hatching in the dark.”
“That day when the bomb went off, the kids were threatened by them, so I could only follow them. Eric’s men did keep their word. After they took me, they let the children go.
“Before I went into the lab, I met Eric and wanted to negotiate, but he just looked me over a few times and had me tranquilized. When I woke up again, I was in the lab. Eric is a selfish, arrogant individual. We ruined his plans this time and struck a heavy blow against his family. With his personality, he’ll definitely try to get even. Even if he doesn’t take revenge now, even if he waits for a couple years or a whole decade, he’ll make a return unless we finish him completely.”
“I’m worried about that too.”
Georgia brought it up.
“Back then when I followed him to that lab to see you, he spoke to me about a lot. Even his logic is self-centered and selfish. Having failed with us and lost this much, I’m nervous what he’s going to do. His methods are cruel and I don’t know which angle he’s going to come from. I’ve already had Jason put continual pressure on Eric, but their family is centuries old, and they have their ways, their people, and their power. Forcing them this far is as much as I could have done. I don’t know where to take the next step now.
“Eric’s gone off the radar and the rest of the Wimbledon family hasn’t seemed to have made any moves. I can’t think of a way to suppress them completely.”
“Never mind. We’ll be more cautious from now on, then. If we know that he’s going to lurk in the dark and take revenge, we have to take even stricter security measures to protect ourselves.”
