“Is there a plane arriving?”
Georgia raised her head and asked Kayden. But Kayden’s face changed dramatically.
“Stay here, don’t go out. If anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning you!”
After Kayden said this, she ran straight out towards the outside.
It was clear that Kayden wasn’t expecting a plane to arrive. And so, she was very careful about it.
Georgia suddenly had a glimmer of hope inside her, could it be the people who came here to save Robert?
Georgia slowly walked towards the door, as she stood there watching what was happening outside.
The island that had been quiet was suddenly crowded with people. Many walked outside with weapons in their hand. It seemed that something big was about to unfold.
Georgia sneaked out the door, she intended to see how Robert was doing.
There was already the sound of roaring jet engines on top of them. And eventually, a helicopter descended slowly and landed.
Men with weapons started to surround the helicopter as it landed on the island.
Georgia couldn’t see who got out from the helicopter. She could only try to conceal herself as she walked towards the room where Robert was held captive.
Not far from the room, Georgia saw that someone was guarding the room where Robert was. She couldn’t get any closer.
What was she supposed to do now that there was an unexpected guest on the island?
Georgia pondered in her mind.
However, before Georgia could have thought of an outcome. She felt that something was pointing against her waist.
When she looked down, she saw a man holding a gun against her waist.
“What are you doing here?”
A guard asked coldly, his gaze was filled with unfriendliness.
Georgia could only give an honest account of what she had come for.
“I want to see Robert.”
Georgia pointed at the room where Robert was held captive. The guard gave a direct, cold warning.
“No one can go in without the permission of Mr Knight. Ms Lane, you’d better stay away from here now. The island had been put on high alert; I advise you not to wander around.”
“You can keep my hands tied, I just want to go in and see Robert, please?”
Again, the guard rejected.
“I repeat, Ms Lane. You have no right to enter the room. You can walk around everywhere else. But right now, I suggest you better stay in the room your were in before.”
Georgia could only return helplessly.
While inside the living room where Laurence was sitting. A man was already sitting in front of Mr Knight.
“It’s been over ten years since I’ve seen you and I didn’t think we’d be meeting again in this situation.”
The man sitting opposite Laurence spoke with a light smile.
Laurence stared coldly at the man sitting in front of him, as he suddenly gave a mocking laugh.
“It’s funny that the man who abandoned his wife and son is now appearing in front of me for the son he had abandoned.”
Aidan’s expression changed for a moment as he turned to ask Laurence.
“I just want a simple answer, are you going to let Robert go or not?”
“Why should I let him off the hook?”
Laurence laughed coldly.
“Your son made me lose both my legs. I’m just trying to take them away from him too. Isn’t this fair?”
Laurence looked extremely serious. The hatred of Robert was deep in his bone.
Aidan spoke again to Laurence.
“If you let go of Robert now, I’ll help your business expand to Europe and America. That’s billions of dollars worth of growth.”
Laurence laughed coldly.
“You thought your son only worth billions?”
Aidan however gave a cold warning.
“if you let my son go now, I’ll help your business to prosper and take your business to the global stage. But if you don’t, guess what happens next?”
When Aidan said this, Laurence expression instantly changed.
He knew what kind of person Aidan was. He was cruel, sinister, cunning, and ruthless. And he would do anything to get what he wants.
Before he could say anything else, Laurence’s mobile phone rang.
The first phone call was from his investor, who decided to pull out.
The second call came from a government department saying that there was a problem with his company and that they needed his assets to be frozen for investigation.
Later, Laurence received dozen phone calls in a row, and all of those were either investor pulling out from his company or his company was under investigation.
Aidan was fully capable of destroying his company.
“As I said, this is my compensation for the loss of your legs. And if you don’t accept the offer that I’ve just given you, then I’ll have to take the next step and make you go straight into bankruptcy. At that point, you probably won’t even be able to afford a maid and will have to be a beggar in the streets. And people might even come and kick you in the face…”
Laurence’s face was extremely gloomy when Aidan said these words.
Kayden lowered her head and whispered in Laurence’s ear.
“Sir, you need to calm down before you speak. There’s still a chance in the future, we don’t need to risk it for now.”
He understood this, but Laurence still felt overwhelmed with madness.
