“Miss Lane, I’m so sorry. I promised you that it would not go wrong with the questioning. I was not thoughtful enough. You have a good rest at home and I’ll look into this matter carefully.”
Selena can guess out it must be related to Robert Simpson’s mother. But she still decided to investigate it in case there were some unexpected people involved in it.
As she hung up, Selena looked towards the woman kneeling in front of her.
Perhaps she should give Mrs Moss one more chance now that it was an accident and granny was also used to Mrs Moss’s caring.
“Mrs Moss, I forgive you this time, but there is no next time. I’ll call you any time in the future to ask about the situation. If you repeat what happened today, pack your things and get out of my face.”
Mrs Moss nodded with gratitude.
Selena made phone calls and started to investigate the matter. She got her own manpower and connections.
Moreover, she can also count on her brother, Jasper Holland. She just didn’t believe that she couldn’t find out how many people on earth behind this matter.
After this matter, Selena was more and more convinced that Georgia was wronged.
She felt very sorry that something bad happened to Georgia because of her.
So she thought she should help Georgia.
After asking her close friends’ help on this matter, Selena returned to the ward. Mrs Moss was getting a cup of water for granny.
Mrs Phillips came to awareness and in good spirit.
“My dear, it’s been long enough for you to accompany me. I heard you take a day off to come here. I’m better now, and you should go back to have some rest. Mrs Moss is taking care of me, don’t you worry.”
Granny seemed to be very satisfied with Mrs Moss in her job. And Selena was reassured a little bit.
“Granny, I rarely visit you. Now you got injured at home, I should spend more time with you.”
Mrs Phillips smiled benignly.
“As long as you come to see me occasionally, I would be overjoyed. Selena, you’re in a different position from now, don’t split too much of your energy on me.”
Selena lowered her head sadly. Mrs Phillips was her granny in blood. Her parents had passed away.
And she was adopted by the Holland family. It was a complicated story to tell.
The Holland family had a daughter about her age.
The daughter was born when Jasper Holland was five years old.
Jasper loved his sister very much. And the Holland family lived a jolly happy life with a son and a daughter.
But the Hollands was a big family, old Mr Holland, Jasper’s grandfather had a love child.
And his love child, Jasper’s uncle, kidnapped Jasper and his sister.
At that time, Jasper was less than six years old and his sister was only about six months old.
Old Mr Holland was a fish-blooded and ruthless person. He had a love child, but he willed Jasper’s father as the sole heir of his possession, without leaving a penny to Jasper’s uncle.
As old Mr Holland got to know that his grandchildren were kidnapped, he gave his words to the family that they must try everything to rescue the children, especially his grandson, even at the cost of breaking up with Jasper’s uncle.
With the power and strength of the Holland family, they soon found the place where Jasper and his sister were kidnapped.
Old Mr Holland ordered his men to seize Jasper’s uncle’s family, his children and mother, to threaten him, forming a confrontational situation.
Jasper’s uncle was driven mad.
He tortured and cruelly killed Jasper’s sister in his face, and he was an only five-year-old boy by then.
He could only watch helplessly as his sister was killed, not being able to resist at all.
Jasper was saved but he had severe psychological problems since then. He can’t get back to reality from that terrible experience.
His parents nearly broke down. They took Jasper to many doctors, but no one could help.
Until one day, Selena’s parents were killed in a car accident when she was only several months old. Jasper happened to see her, a baby girl by then, and he called her sister.
Jasper insisted that Selena was his sister. Psychological therapist told Mr and Mrs Holland that Jasper can’t bear the fact that his sister was killed in front of him.
Therefore, the Holland family adopted Selena.
Jasper really doted on Selena these years.
But Mr and Mrs Holland didn’t have as much interest in Selena as Jasper did. Selena got to know her birth when she grew up.
It was Mrs Holland told her about it.
“Granny, you’re my granny. I should spend my time with you as a family of yours. As for the Holland family, they’re very liberal and generous, don’t you worry.”
Selena knew she should be Jasper Holland’s sister in her whole life.
Even if she fell in love with her brother, but as an adopted daughter, she had to hide her feelings.
She got back home after staying a whole night with her granny.
She had intended to ask Jasper for help to investigate how many dirty tricks the Simpson family played in the matter concerned with Georgia.
But the butler told her that Jasper hadn’t come back yet.
She made a call to Jasper.
“Brother, it’s been so late. What stops you coming back?”
Jasper was in a private box right now. Robert called to ask him out for drinking. That heartbroken man was sitting there, without a word, plying himself with one bottle after another of wine.
Jason joined him and both of them were dreadfully drunk, but they kept drinking with their awareness on, and Jasper had to be there accompanying them.
He knew clearly that his job was to drive the two drunks back to home. He answered the call from Selena, smiled.
