Just as Georgia asked that.
Robert turned and sat beside Georgia, holding her hand.
“There’s news, but I wouldn’t call it good.”
“Has something happened?”
Georgia asked worriedly, and Robert spoke, helpless.
“Jasper told me over the line that Selena’s gone missing. There’s a stranger’s text in her phone that says if she went to a place on time, she’d see her child there. So both Selena and the kid are missing now, and they’re investigating whoever sent the text.”
“Have they found it?”
Georgia asked, heart heavy.
“They have. The people who took Selena is a powerful business rival of the Holland family.
“The Hollands are fighting with them over a stretch of land. If the Holland family loses this land, it’s not too big of a loss, but to their rival, their company’s capital is suffering this year and they need the land rights to get other banks and capital injection to finish a new round of financing before they can survive this. The Holland family had better stakes and the highest chance of getting the land, because they’re far ahead in property and capability.
“So the rival used such means to kidnap Selena, and they’re threatening the Holland family to let them have the land before they let Selena go back.”
So it was a business rivalry. Georgia nodded, concerned.
“What about the child? Did they kidnap him too?”
Robert shook his head.
“They only just heard about the Hollands losing a child and used it to lure Selena out. Selena was too desperate over her son and fell for it.”
“Then what are the Hollands planning to do? Has Jasper resolved it yet?”
Georgia felt like Selena couldn’t be blamed for it.
The child had gone missing for so many days without news, and the worst could have happened.
But now, someone was suddenly putting out news that they had the child, and a mother couldn’t have let that go.
It was just that the villains were using her child to toy around with Selena.
“Jasper’s agreed to release the land. Whether the rivals can still run on after they get the land, they can be dealt with, but Jasper doesn’t want Selena to get hurt, so he gave way to the threat.
“He wants to borrow some of my forces to go over and meet, then bring Selena back. We’ll probably only have news later. I hope nothing happens.”
“Let’s hope so.”
Georgia said that too, both of them feeling heavy.
Jasper was a good friend of Robert’s after all, and Selena had done Georgia a huge favor. The couple didn’t want Selena to get hurt, and they wanted very much to hurry up and find the child.
After washing in the morning, Georgia, Robert and Ivan had just eaten breakfast when the doorbell rang.
After a while, Georgia went to the door and let the newcomer in.
