“It’s just a normal address with normal civilians living in there who don’t know Vincent Poole at all. It was probably just a random address. Vincent must have been threatened by people from behind the scenes. There’s still no trace of him.”
It was a foggy situation right now, but everything pointed at the Wimbledon family.
Did they really need to strike out on their own? Using her position as the head of the SY Group to meet with the head of the Wimbledons might be a way.
Georgia was thinking about that and was preparing to bring it up with Wilson.
Then she received another stranger’s call. She took it carefully.
A low, young male voice with some magnetism rang out.
“Hello, Mrs. Simpson, I’m Darren, the acting chairman of the Ace Group.”
Georgia jolted, and the man continued.
“There’s a saying that applies to business – the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I’ve heard about what happened to your husband. I’ve got something interesting to show you. I’m waiting for you in a restaurant at this address. Until ten tonight, I’ll be waiting there all day for your arrival.
“I might have something here that can help with your investigation.”
The line went dead.
Georgia froze, shocked, while Ivan spoke up worriedly.
“What happened, Georgia? You look a bit stunned.”
Georgia was about to talk about the contents of the call when she received a call from Jason as well.
“I’m at the airport. Where are you? I’ll come over.”
Georgia spoke about where they were living, then hung up with Jason.
Selena had her own issues right now and Jasper couldn’t be anywhere at once. Otherwise, with Robert’s disappearance, both Jasper and Jason would have come over to help.
Selena’s situation was grave right now, so Jasper still had to stay at the Holland family to manage it all and take care of Robert’s mother for them as well. Jason had come over to help them instead.
So the moment he got off the plane, Jason gave her a call, since he’d been notified that she was awake as well.
“The acting chairman of the Ace Group, a Darren fellow, just gave me a call and some spiel about the enemy of my enemy being my friend. I think he refers to the Wimbledon business, since the Albertson Group took the experimental results of a project Ace invested in, then put it successfully on the market.
“But I don’t know what this Darren is like. I need to check. He’s waiting for me in a restaurant and he’ll leave after ten at night. I need to ask Wilson about it.”
Georgia told Ivan about the call, and Ivan spoke up.
“I’ve heard about this person, Georgia, with friends in those connections. I’ll look into it for you. Wilson probably wouldn’t get to it as quickly as I could.”
Georgia nodded and waited for Ivan to call and get in contact with his friends, speaking for a while in some foreign language.
After hanging up, Ivan turned back to Georgia.
“This is an ambitious person, Georgia. Very capable. But he made a specific appointment and said he knew some secrets – meeting him should be fine. A smart person like this wouldn’t make enemies of us for no reason. He might even want to link up with us because of the business rivalry between his company and the Albertson Group. We’ll take some more manpower and head over.”
Georgia nodded, called Wilson over, and explained the affair.
Finally, Ivan headed with people to wait for Jason’s arrival, and to switch locations to continue Adolf’s interrogation.
Georgia and Wilson headed off to meet Darren.
